Products & general information
What is the difference between natural and enhanced oud?
Natural oud is sold exactly as it was harvested, with nothing added. When a wood is enhanced, we say so clearly in its name and description, so you always know what you are buying.
Where does your Chios mastic come from?
From the villages of southern Chios, the Greek island where it is produced under the protected designation Masticha Chiou (PDO). The seal is printed on every box. See our mastic tears.
How do I use Chios mastic?
Following traditional uses: as incense (a few tears on charcoal), in cooking (ground into desserts, baked goods and hot drinks) or chewed directly. These are culinary and traditional uses, not medical indications.
How do I use oud wood?
Place a small piece on charcoal or an electric burner, ideally on a sheet of aluminium foil, at low heat, and let the fragrance unfold gradually. A little goes a long way. See our oud wood.
A product is sold out. Will it be back?
Our catalogue is restocked regularly and keeps growing with new references (oud oil, frankincense, mukhallat blends, traditional clothing…). Leave your email on the product page and we will tell you as soon as it is back.
