Oud Home Fragrance: Luxury Scents To Elevate Your Space
In the world of home fragrances, few scents evoke luxury quite like oud. Its deep, rich aroma adds an air of sophistication and serenity to any space. Nuhr, a brand renowned for its premium oud collections, captures this essence perfectly through its luxurious oud-scented candles, diffusers, and room sprays. Each product is designed to transform ordinary rooms into indulgent retreats filled with warmth and elegance. In this text, we’ll explore how Nuhr’s oud home fragrances can elevate your environment, creating a sanctuary of timeless luxury and tranquility.
Understanding Oud: The Essence of Luxury
Oud, often called ‘liquid gold,’ is derived from the heartwood of the agar tree, which develops a dark resin when infected by a specific mold. This resin’s intoxicating aroma has made oud a cherished material in perfume-making. The luxurious essence of oud lies in its rarity and depth, making it one of the most expensive fragrance ingredients. Using oud in our home fragrances imbues our spaces with an unmatched sense of sophistication.
The Allure of Oud Scents in Home Fragrance
Oud’s ability to evoke emotions instantly transforms our surroundings. Lighting an oud scented candle or using an oud diffuser isn’t just about fragrance—it’s about creating an experience. The warm notes of oud invite relaxation, making it ideal for living and gathering spaces. Moreover, oud has been linked to stress relief and mood enhancement, creating a tranquil atmosphere perfect for unwinding.
Top Oud Luxury Scents for Your Living Space
Choosing the right premium home fragrance can be daunting. Here are standout oud luxury scents that can truly elevate our living spaces:
- Tom Ford Oud Wood: A harmonious blend of oud, vanilla, and cardamom, offering a warm aroma.
- Creed Viking: Combines oud with spicy notes and fresh citrus for an elegant scent.
- Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood: A rich blend of oud with floral notes, perfect for intimate areas.
- Acqua di Parma Colonia Oud: A lighter option, fusing citrus freshness with deep oud.
- Le Labo Santal 33: While primarily sandalwood, it incorporates oud for a captivating profile.
Any of these fragrances can uplift our surroundings, making our spaces feel luxurious.
Creating a Relaxing Atmosphere with Oud
To enjoy oud’s magic, we need to incorporate it thoughtfully:
- Candles: Lighting oud scented candles can establish a calming environment, perfect for winding down.
- Essential Oils: Diffusing oud essential oils in our bedrooms enhances sleep quality and creates serenity.
- Potpourri: Using oud chips in our living areas adds a subtle welcome fragrance that enhances home appeal.
Integrating oud into our daily rituals cultivates an oasis of comfort.
How to Layer Oud Fragrance in Your Home
Layering fragrances elevates our olfactory experience. Here’s how to effectively layer oud:
- Start with the Base: Use a solid oud scent, either from a diffuser or a candle.
- Add Complementary Scents: Introduce lighter scents, like citrus or florals, in different rooms.
- Time of Day: Use intense oud scents in the evening and lighter options during the day.
- Personal Touch: Incorporate personal elements, like oud-scented sachets in wardrobes.
Thoughtful layering creates a unique, multi-dimensional scent profile.
Caring for Your Oud Home Fragrance Products
To maximize the lifespan of our oud products, consider these care tips:
- Storage: Keep products in a cool, dark place away from sunlight.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures to protect fragrance integrity.
- Usage: Ensure even wax melting for candles and regularly clean diffusers.
Caring for our oud items preserves their luxurious qualities, enhancing our home fragrance experience.
Conclusion
Incorporating oud home fragrances into our spaces is a refined way to elevate our environment. The rich scent of oud not only enhances our home’s aroma but also promotes relaxation and well-being. Whether through a luxurious candle, an essential oil, or a sophisticated room spray, oud can transform our living areas into sanctuaries of comfort and elegance.

P+ Measurement Services Celebrates 10 Years of Driving Independent PR Measurement in Nigeria
P+ Measurement Services, Nigeria’s first independent media intelligence and PR measurement agency, is marking its 10th anniversary this November. Founded in 2015 at the brink of a recession, the agency emerged from a vision to challenge the norms of public relations reporting and bring independence, objectivity, and data-driven accountability to PR measurement and evaluation across Nigeria and Africa.
Over the past decade, P+ has transformed what was once considered an “impossible mission” into a thriving sector. Established from the living room of its founder, Philip Odiakose, who questioned why PR agencies should be the accused, the judge, and the jury of their own work, the company has since led the charge in redefining how PR performance is measured. Today, P+ stands as a trusted partner for more than 20 brands on retainer, having executed 52 projects and collaborated with 25 local and international PR agencies, as well as 86 brands, including government bodies, ministries, NGOs, and private organizations.
P+ Measurement Services has also played a significant role in advancing global recognition for Nigeria within the PR and communications measurement field, through its involvement with international bodies such as the Institute for Public Relations (IPR) Measurement Commission and the International Association for the Measurement and Evaluation of Communication (AMEC). Beyond its client portfolio, P+ has trained over 40 analysts and developed partnerships with key trade associations, including the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) and Women in PR.
Speaking on the milestone, Philip Odiakose, Chief Media Analyst and a Commissioner at the IPR Measurement Commission, commented, “Ten years ago, this was just a bold dream, starting an independent PR measurement agency when the industry barely understood the concept of evaluation. What began in my living room has grown into a movement that has shaped how the Nigerian PR ecosystem thinks about accountability, insight, and performance. Our mission was to prove that independence in PR measurement wasn’t just possible, it was necessary. Ten years later, I can say with pride that we did more than prove it; we built a legacy.”
Adding her perspective, Olufunke Mohammed, Executive Director of Operations, shared, “This milestone means a lot more than numbers, it represents ten years of resilience, innovation, and teamwork. We took a risk when we left our jobs to pursue what was then an uncertain idea. Today, that idea has become a recognized institution helping brands make sense of their reputation and impact with credible data and analytics. It has been a decade of growth and learning, and we are only just getting started.”
Rukayat Yusuf, Senior Analyst, reflected on the company’s impact from an analyst’s lens, saying, “Working with P+ has been an opportunity to be part of something pioneering. We have not only provided insights for brands but also helped elevate the PR measurement profession itself. Being part of this journey has shown that excellence is built one dataset, one analysis, and one story at a time.”
As P+ Measurement Services celebrates this significant milestone, the company reaffirms its commitment to continuous innovation and collaboration, empowering communications and PR professionals across Africa with actionable insights that go beyond vanity metrics to drive meaningful impact.

With the customer placed at the heart of the store experience, locals and visitors alike will be welcomed through the signature dark green facade, into a world where confidence is beautiful.
Members of the expert in-store team will be on hand to guide customers through the product ranges, consult on skincare needs and even offer a relaxing hand massage or treatment at the sink.
Speaking at the launch ceremony hosted at his Residence, the British Deputy High Commissioner in Lagos, Mr Jonny Baxter said: “The Body Shop’s arrival in Lagos marks more than a business expansion. It’s a powerful symbol of the deepening UK-Nigeria trade relationship. With bilateral trade now at £7.9 billion and rising, Nigeria stands as the UK’s second-largest trading partner in Africa and our leading export market on the continent.
