Our Story

Oudsentials was born from the shared love and enthusiasm of two oud enthusiasts from the United States, who eventually made their homes in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Their passion for oud was deeply rooted in the spiritual traditions of the Near East that had taken hold during their time in the U.S. As their journeys led them across the world, they found themselves returning full circle to their love for agarwood—giving rise to the founding of Oudsentials.

At Oudsentials, we are committed to sustainably sourcing premium, authentic agarwood from trusted, CITES-verified farmers across Southeast Asia. Our mission is rooted in ethical practices that honor both the land and the people who cultivate it. To ensure fairness at every level of the supply chain, we operate on a minimum order model. This approach allows us to uphold fair trade principles by offering consistent support to local farmers while simultaneously providing our buyers with the highest quality oud at competitive prices. Every chip we offer carries the scent of tradition, care, and a shared commitment to excellence—from soil to soul.
