Oud: sustainable and ethically sourced
Nov. 13th, 2024 02:21 pm For anyone interested in scents, or in ecosystems, or in whether resources are being treated in ways that will deplete them or sttempt to sustain them, there's a perfume house that's now doing oud as sustainably as they can. Meaning that they have an oud plantation. Their name is Fragrance du Bois, which makes sense.
I put the LuckyScent link in there rather than the direct link to the perfume house, but that's because I'm a $5 sample perfume shopper rather than a take a flyer on a $200+ bottle perfume shopper. Your scent acquisition mileage may vary.
As a bunch of you know, I use scent for pain management. Since I am doing pretty much all of my socializing and gathering online, I have fewer precautions and protocols at present, seeing as how it's pretty difficult to bring scent into someone else's vicinity online. This is very handy for me, as I do not currently need to think ahead about fragrance sensitivity of whoever I'm going to be around, lest I infringe on their access needs.
Anyhow, if you are interested in oud, there's sustainable oud out there. We'll see how they do with it.
