Welcome to NUHOUD
This house was born from a life spent around oud, from watching my father, learning the material, and following questions that stayed with me for years.
Before you discover the creations, I would like to share where this journey began and why NUHOUD exists.

THE LEGACY
Four Generations One Devotion
My relationship with oud began at home. Across four generations, agarwood has been part of my family’s work, knowledge and daily life. NUHOUD carries that relationship forward.

The NUHOUD approach
Let The Material Speak.
Oud is where my work began, and it remains my reference point. In the lab, I spend time understanding each material, how it develops, how it behaves alongside others, and what it brings to a fragrance.
Whether I am distilling an oil, preparing a maceration or composing a perfume, the aim is to develop its character without losing what drew me to it.
ROOTED IN OUD
A lifelong relationship with agarwood guides how I approach oils, attars and perfumes.
CHARACTER BEFORE RARITY
I choose materials for what they smell like and what they bring to a creation, not simply because they are rare.
HANDS-ON CRAFT
Distilling, preparing macerations and composing fragrances keep me closely involved in the work.
GIVEN TIME
I return to each preparation as it develops, letting its progress guide the next step.
