Irian Oud

About Irian Oud

Irian Oud is an origin-style oud label carrying an older geographic reference to western New Guinea. The House of Oud officially lists Irian Oud in the base of Breath of the Infinite. CITES documents agarwood trade from eastern Indonesia including the former Irian Jaya, but the perfume page does not identify species, harvest site, or refining method. The available evidence does not disclose every botanical identity, regional detail, manufacturing method, or formula component, so those points are not inferred.

Scent Profile

Its sensory axis is damp bark, dense resin, earth, soft smoke, and a dark sweetness with faint fruity and balsamic facets. It places a humid, deep woody shadow beneath pastel flowers and musk. This description is an editorial synthesis of the official label, the house’s description of the finished fragrance, the surrounding notes, and independent exact-product cross-checks. It is not an analytical measurement of an isolated raw material. Perception will vary with concentration, skin, temperature, and the other materials in the composition.

Use in Perfumery

In composition, it gives persistence and geographic character to a floral-musky base. With freesia, peony, peach, amber, and cashmeran, it supports pale colors from below. The historical place label does not certify geographic origin or a consistent material identity. The same label can be constructed differently by each perfumer and house. A natural-sounding name may be expressed with naturals, synthetics, reconstructions, or combinations of them; the name alone does not establish formula contents. It must not be used to infer undisclosed species, extraction conditions, geographic certification, regulatory status, or chemistry.
