Ensar Oud Perfumes

Ensar Oud founded his company in 2004, but its original name was Oriscent. His only goal was to create the purest, most complex, and most luxurious oud oils. The name of the perfume house was officially changed to “Ensar Oud” in 2012. As per Ensar, his fascination with oud can be traced back to “attending the mystical gatherings of the Sufis." He further elaborated on this in an interview:

"They’d always have these little stalls at the ‘bazaar’ section, where all sorts of Sufi goods would be on offer, among them little greasy vials of oil called ‘oud’. Most of the nameless oils were obtained from nameless sources. But the scent had its mysterious appeal."

Oud is the name given to the resinous wood of the Aquilaria tree, and its oil usually costs more than thirty-five thousand US dollars per kilogram. As the rarest and most sought-after aromatic on earth, oud has the ability to add soul-stirring depth to any perfume. Ensar Oud uses only the most exclusive oils and ingredients to ensure that they are multidimensional and unique.

On his personal blog, Ensar Oud shares information about his trips to India, Burma, Borneo, Malaysia, Brunei, Cambodia, and beyond. In his account of “Mission: Cambodi Kinam," he says: “Here I am, a New York Muslim convert, accompanied by a South African boer on a rubber tree farm run by an aspiring Buddhist monk, in Thailand, distilling 12.5 kilograms of incense-grade Cambodian Oud wood harvested over a span of two decades by a survivor of Pol Pot’s Reign of Terror.”
