Oudh: the deepest scent of the East
Oudh, derived from agarwood, is one of the most revered fragrances in the incense world, often called liquid gold. Backflow Oudh cones bring the enchantment of traditional Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian rituals into a modern form. As the cone burns, its dense smoke does not rise but cascades downward like a slow mist, creating a mesmerising visual effect.

The layered experience
The oudh aroma unfolds in stages: smoky woody character first, then musky-balsamic middle notes, and finally a deeply grounding dry-down. It has been central to temple, mosque and palace rituals for centuries.
Why this cone
For those bored of lavender and vanilla and seeking a truly characterful aroma, oudh is an unrivalled discovery. Its aromatic depth paired with downward-drifting smoke creates an intimate atmosphere — ideal for autumn or winter evenings, long reading sessions or ceremony.
Tips
- A dedicated backflow holder is essential
- Burn in a calm, enclosed space for the scent to settle
