10x Oud Incense Sticks

Oud incense sticks, renowned for their rich and complex scent profile, have a storied history rooted in the Middle East and South Asia, where they are treasured for their luxurious aroma and spiritual significance. Derived from the resin of the Aquilaria tree, oud, also known as agarwood, develops its distinctive fragrance when the tree becomes infected with mold, causing the resin to form as a natural defense mechanism. The resulting scent is deeply woody, balsamic, and slightly sweet, often imbued with hints of spice, earthiness, and honey, making it a versatile incense used in religious rituals, meditation, and perfumery. Historically, oud has been highly prized, sometimes considered more valuable than gold, and has played an essential role in traditional ceremonies and cultural practices across Arab nations, India, and Southeast Asia. Its uses extend beyond spiritual contexts; oud is a key ingredient in high-end perfumes, skincare, and aromatic oils, appreciated for its calming and grounding properties. At Malphas and Co, we honour this ancient tradition by hand-rolling our incense sticks using a carefully preserved, centuries-old recipe that emphasizes quality and authenticity. Our artisans meticulously blend natural oud resin with other traditional ingredients, following a time-honoured process that ensures each stick delivers a pure, authentic aroma. This artisanal approach not only preserves the rich heritage of oud incense but also allows us to create a product that embodies the depth, complexity, and timeless elegance associated with this legendary scent. Our hand-rolled sticks are designed to provide a luxurious sensory experience, evoking the mystique and cultural significance of oud while offering a modern take on a revered tradition.
