OUD, known as "liquid gold," is a valuable resin from the agarwood tree, cherished in the Middle East for its rich aroma and cultural significance. Produced through a rare, labor-intensive process, OUD is associated with religious rituals, hospitality, luxury, and medicinal uses. In candle making, it offers a unique, multi-layered scent that appeals to those seeking exotic, luxurious fragrances. Candle making classes teach participants to create OUD-infused candles, blending tradition with modern craftsmanship.
This summer, I have the privilege of spending an entire month in my beloved Provence, France, my home region. This time is dedicated to exploring new scents and fragrances, the very essence of inspiration for my Artisane Candles, which I eagerly anticipate sharing with my wonderful students and Artisane clients.
