Hand-distilled in Bangalore
Wear something
no one else
is wearing.
Oud distilled by hand in batches of twenty. Twelve hours on skin, a record of exactly where the wood came from, and a label written by the man who made it.

Three questions
Find your oud.
Oud is not one smell. Tell me what you are after and I will point at one bottle instead of seven.
The maker
One man,
one still.
Lucky Oud is Rafi Ahmed Baig. He buys agarwood in parcels of a few kilos, heats a splinter on a pin to judge it before paying, runs the still slowly, and then waits — months, sometimes years — because fresh oil is loud.
Rafi Ahmed Baig
Every bottle leaves with its record: species, origin, distillation date and batch size.
In other people's words
Still deciding
You cannot smell a
website. So don't.
Seven half-millilitre vials, a blotter for each, and a week to make up your mind. If you then buy a bottle, the set was free.
Not the right moment
Batches are small and some perfumes go before they are reordered. Leave an address and you will hear when something is back or new.
