Few ingredients carry as much history as oud. Also known as agarwood, it comes from the resin that certain trees produce in response to injury or infection — a rare, slow process that has made oud one of the most prized materials in perfumery for centuries, especially across the Gulf.
In Qatar and the wider region, oud is more than an ingredient — it’s a tradition, burned as bakhoor to welcome guests and worn as a mark of occasion. Its scent is deep, woody and slightly smoky, with a complexity that shifts depending on its origin and how it’s processed.
Modern perfumery has embraced oud far beyond the region, pairing it with rose, saffron, amber and musk to create fragrances that feel both classic and contemporary. At Brouq, oud runs through much of our collection — not as a single dominant note, but as a foundation that gives each fragrance depth and staying power.
If you’re new to oud, start with a blend rather than a pure oud oil — it’s more approachable and easier to wear day to day, while still carrying that unmistakable warmth.
I rarely wear nail polish on my nails b/c it always chips and looks bad after a few days. This polish is amazing! I’ve had it on for 2 weeks and it still looks like I put it on yesterday. Will be a forever customer.
I only used one coat of color (was in a hurry) with the base and top coat and the results are perfect. My naturally hard but brittle nails are improving using these products
The perfume is exquisite, with an unparalleled and well-crafted scent. It’s very long-lasting, and the sweetness is soft and not at all overwhelming. I’m thrilled with it! Thank you for your work, the fast delivery, and the immense joy you bring us in such challenging times!
