The House of Oud
Italian craftsmanship meets Jakarta oud.
The House of Oud is an Italian niche house founded in 2016 by perfumer Andrea Casotti and Mohammed Abu Nashi, a Jakarta-based oud producer. The pairing — an Italian master perfumer and a sourcer of Indonesian agarwood — frames the catalogue, which sits at the meeting point of Western and Eastern fragrance traditions. The formulas range across woody, spicy, and floral interpretations of oud, accompanied by lighter compositions for those new to the material. Bottles are unmistakable: marble-effect, egg-shaped, hand-painted in Italy and displayed upside-down on small gold stands. Casotti composes alongside collaborators including Cristian Calabro and Maurizio Cerizza. Distribution is selective, primarily through niche perfumeries in Europe, the Gulf, and Southeast Asia. The work is unapologetically decorative without losing the seriousness of its central ingredient.

DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
