A Precious Scent

I recently stumbled upon this interesting video on The Guardian website. It explains the History of Oud and how it is deeply ingrained in the everyday culture in the Middle East. Oud is produced in the trunk of Agarwood trees and has to age for years before it can be used as a scent. It can be burnt to scent a room or clothes and can also be found in an oil form. In it's pure form it is more expensive than gold!
