We sell good oud.

We are based in Singapore, a city that sits at the crossroads of the agarwood world. Southeast Asian forests to our north and east have produced some of the finest grades ever traded. We are blessed to have built relationships with great suppliers across the region.

We have also been blessed to learn which suppliers are not so great. We've been scammed so you don't have to.

The Oud Trader was born from a simple frustration: too much of what is sold as oud is either synthetic or low quality.

Our philosophy is straightforward. We sell all types of grades, for every type of buyer. We label everything honestly, origin, grade, character. We answer questions. We make time for the enthusiast who wants to go deep, and for the newcomer who just wants to know where to start.

Oud deserves better than the way it is often sold. We are trying to do it properly.

A thousand years of trade. One tree.

Agarwood has been documented in ancient texts for thousands of years. It has crossed deserts on camel caravans and oceans in wooden dhows. It has perfumed royal courts and sacred spaces on every continent.

The trade in agarwood connects Singapore to a story that is far older than the city itself. The forests of Borneo, Sumatra, and the Malay peninsula have supplied this material to the world for centuries. The knowledge of how to harvest, process, and grade it has been passed down through generations of families who understood that the tree must be respected if it is to keep giving.

We carry that understanding into every purchase we make and every product we sell. Sustainably sourced where possible.  Personally graded. Always.
