Wholesale Oud Oil (Dahn al-Oud)
Wholesale Oud Oil (Dahn al-Oud)
Pure natural oud oil distilled from graded wood of the Indonesian archipelago. The oil line is becoming available, and whoever knows our wood knows what to expect. Register your interest to be the first we notify when the initial batches become available.
Oud oil is the heart of oriental perfumery: a rare essence distilled from oud wood, carrying the soul of the forest in a drop. This page is dedicated to the oil alone — not the wood — and directed to perfume houses, blenders, and distributors seeking dahn of known origin at wholesale. We declare to you from the start and with full clarity: the dahn line at Oud Treasure is becoming available and has not been launched yet. But we supply graded wood from the archipelago today, and whoever knows the quality of the wood knows the ceiling from which our dahn will be distilled. So if you are planning to supply dahn, this is your gateway to register your interest early and evaluate our source now.
Our oud oil line is becoming available and has not been put up for sale yet, and there is no oil stock offered currently. We are not selling dahn at this stage; rather we are building an interest list for whoever wants to be the first we contact when the initial batches become available. And our declared commitment is to attach to each batch its statement: the source wood and its origin, the distillation method, and the aging period — so the merchant buys knowing exactly what they have in hand. Until the dahn becomes available, you can evaluate our wood as an honest indicator of the raw material we will distill from.
Oud oil — the essence of the archipelago
Oud oil, or what many merchants call "dahn" for short, is the aromatic oil extracted from oud wood by distillation. When the resin accumulates in the heart of the oud tree over years, the wood becomes a carrier of a dense aromatic material; and distillation is what releases this material from the wood in a concentrated liquid form. A single drop of it condenses what a far greater weight of wood might carry.
This concentration is what makes dahn the jewel of oriental perfumery and its most precious material. It is applied directly to the wrist, enters primarily into oil perfumes and blends, and adds an irreplaceable depth to compositions. And for anyone who wants the linguistic and historical background of the word "oud" itself and its roots, our article on the origin of the name oud offers an extended read.
It is important to distinguish from the start: dahn is not wood. Wood is burned, sorted, and sold by the kilogram, whereas dahn is a distilled material measured in milliliters and tolas and used in perfume. They are two different product categories, each with its market, pricing, and use. This page of ours is about the dahn alone; whoever is looking for wood, their destination is the natural wood wholesale page.
What does pure dahn mean?
When we say "pure dahn" we mean a pure oil distilled directly from the wood without dilution by carrier materials. In the market, some dahn is sometimes diluted with solvents or carrier oils such as DOP or DPG to lower the cost or increase the volume, and the result is a less concentrated material sometimes sold as pure. The difference is fundamental for the blender and for the perfume house that builds its composition on a known concentration.
Our declared direction for the coming dahn line is pure: to offer an undiluted dahn, and to declare the composition of each batch honestly rather than sell blended as pure. And we frame this as a commitment of intent on which we build the line, not a guarantee on stock that has not been launched yet. When the batches become available we will state for each one whether it is pure and unadulterated, without absolute promises that cannot be verified today.
Because any claim of "one hundred percent purity" on a material that has not been launched yet would be words without support. We prefer to declare our intention — pure dahn of known origin — then prove it batch by batch upon availability, rather than promise you a guarantee for which we hold nothing to support it today.
The character of Indonesian dahn
Each origin in the Indonesian archipelago has its aromatic character that transfers from the wood to the dahn distilled from it. These are general descriptions common among perfumery people, which we present for introduction rather than as a definitive rule, since the character varies from one tree to another and from one batch to another.
Kalimantan dahn (from the island of Borneo) is commonly described as warm and woody, leaning to a calm depth that settles on the skin, and it is among the most present styles in Gulf taste. As for Papua dahn from the east of the archipelago, it is usually described as bolder and sharper in its first presence. This variety among origins is what gives the blender room to choose a character that suits their target composition.
Our two dahn collections — natural oud oil and Indonesian oud oil — are becoming available currently and will be filled when the line is launched. And until they become available, you can foresee the character through the woods of the same origins in the Indonesian oud and natural oud collections, for the wood is the origin of the dahn that will be distilled from it.
Dahn versus wood
Some new merchants confuse dahn with wood, even though they are two fundamentally different categories as wholesale products. The first difference is concentration: dahn is a condensed essence distilled from a larger quantity of wood, so a small volume of it equals a greater weight of wood in aromatic strength. The second difference is in use: wood is burned or ground, whereas dahn enters into oil perfumes, blends, and dukhoon as a liquid aromatic material.
As for the third difference, it is the unit of measure. Wood is sold by the kilogram, while dahn is measured in milliliters and in tolas — a traditional unit common in the dahn trade that commonly equals about twelve milliliters, with a slight variation according to custom. We mention this as general information for the merchant, and do not tie it to any price or stock offered now.
Those who buy dahn are mostly perfume houses and blenders who build their compositions on it, which we address in detail on our page for perfumers' suppliers. And whoever is looking for wood as a material for burning or sorting, their destination is the natural wood wholesale page. We mention this distinction so you choose the category that actually serves your market, without mixing two different products. And we announce here no prices for the dahn or the tola, because they are determined with each batch upon availability.
Who buys dahn at wholesale
Dahn is a specialized material, and its wholesale audience is narrower than the wood audience and deeper in specialization. Below are the most prominent to whom we expect the dahn line to be directed upon its availability:
Those who design oil and oriental perfumes and need dahn of known origin and concentration as a base for their compositions, with consistency of character between batches.
Makers of blends who mix the dahn with other materials to build their own compositions; we cover them in fuller detail on the perfumers' suppliers page.
Stores that offer dahn to the end customer by the tola or in portions, and need supply of known origin they can trust in front of their customers.
Those who distribute dahn to regional markets and need a partner who documents the origin of each batch and provides scalable quantities.
Each segment has its page detailing what we offer it: perfumers and blenders, perfume shops, and distributors. These pages address our current supply of wood, and the dahn will be added to them upon its availability under the same commitment to transparency.
The line plan and the commitment to transparency
We present here what we aspire for the dahn line to offer, as a plan we are building rather than a promise of a date. And we affirm that everything below is a declared direction open to development, not a commitment on ready stock:
Our intention is for the dahn to be distilled from graded woods from the same archipelago origins we supply today, not from unknown sources.
We aspire to offer levels according to the aging period, as the dahn acquires a smoother character with aging; and we will declare the aging period of each batch.
We plan packaging that suits the merchant: by the tola, the quarter tola, and larger sizes for wholesale, according to what the market asks for upon availability.
The most important commitment: to attach to each batch a statement of its source wood, its origin, its distillation method, and its aging period, clearly.
Everything above describes the line's direction, not its launch date. We have not set an announced date for availability, and we will not announce one until we are confident of meeting it. Registering your interest is the way to be notified first when it is ready.
Prepare now: evaluate our wood
Waiting for the dahn does not mean a passive wait. The best thing you can do now to reduce risk later is to evaluate our source through our wood, for good dahn only comes from good wood, and the quality of the wood we supply today is the most honest indicator of the material from which we will distill our dahn.
Start by requesting a sample via the samples program, and review the sample kits to assess the sorting, origin, and grade with your senses. And to learn about our method of direct supply from the source, see the Indonesian supplier page and the Indonesian oud wholesale page. When you are convinced by the wood, you have reassured yourself about the foundation on which the dahn will be built.
And for anyone who wants the deeper background of our relationship with this source, our article on the oud trade between Indonesia and the Arab world recounts how this material moved across the centuries between the archipelago and the Arab world — the same roots we build on today.
Frequently asked questions about wholesale oud oil
We gathered here the most common questions merchants ask before the dahn line becomes available. Where the answer depends on the details of the batch or a date not yet set, we favor honesty over a promise:
The oil line is becoming available, and we have not set an announced date for it yet; we prefer not to promise a timing we may not keep. When it is ready we will notify those who registered their interest first. So we invite you to register your interest via the contact page to be on the list of the first to be notified when the initial batches become available.
Our declared direction is pure dahn — that is, an essence distilled directly from the wood without dilution by carrier materials such as DOP or DPG. This is a commitment of intent that we declare; we do not sell blended as pure. And when the batches become available we will declare the composition of each batch clearly so you buy knowing exactly what you have in hand.
From graded wood from the same Indonesian archipelago origins we supply wood from today, such as Kalimantan and Papua. Our intention is to declare the source wood, the distillation method, and the aging period for each batch, so the oil's origin is known and not obscure.
The tola is a traditional unit common in the dahn trade, and it commonly equals about twelve milliliters, and it may vary slightly according to local custom. We mention it here as general information for the merchant, and mentioning it does not mean we have stock offered in this unit now.
We do not announce an expected price for the dahn, because the price depends on the source wood, its grade, the distillation method, and the aging period, and these are determined with each batch. Announcing a number now would be guesswork, not an honest promise. Upon availability we will price each batch according to its actual specifications.
Dahn samples will be available when the initial batches become available, not before that. For now, you can evaluate the quality of our wood and our sorting method through wood samples, which are the best available indicator of the ceiling from which our dahn will later be distilled.
The best way is to try our wood. Good dahn only comes from good wood, so evaluating our wood today gives you an honest picture of the raw material we will distill from. Request a wood sample or review the sample kits to assess the sorting, origin, and grade yourself.
We have not opened pre-orders yet, because we prefer not to take a commitment against stock that is not ready. But registering your interest now puts you at the front of those we contact when the batches become available, some of whom we will discuss early-supply arrangements with.
Wood is a material that is burned, ground, or sorted by its grades, whereas dahn is the essence distilled from it: concentrated, measured in milliliters and tolas rather than kilograms, and used in perfumes, blends, and dukhoon. Those who buy dahn are mostly perfume houses and blenders, while wood serves a broader segment. We supply wood today via the wood wholesale page, and the dahn is becoming available.
Indonesian dahn is strongly present in oriental perfumery, and it commonly has a spectrum that leans toward warmth and woody depth, which makes it a common base in blends and oil perfumes. The variety of the archipelago's origins lets the blender choose a character that suits their composition.
Our declared intention is to attach to each batch a statement of its origin: the source wood and its origin, the distillation method, and the aging period. We handle the regulation of the oud trade seriously today in wood, and we will carry the same commitment over to the dahn when it becomes available.
We do not ask you to wait at the expense of your current need; buy what you need today from whoever offers it. But if what matters to you is a dahn of known origin with transparency about the wood, the distillation, and the aging, then registering your interest puts you in the first row when we launch a line built on this basis from the start.
This is within our plan: to distill from specific origins and declare the origin of each batch, exactly as we do with wood. Register your interest and specify the origin that matters to you, so we can take it into account when planning the first batches and contact you when what suits you becomes available.
Via the contact page: tell us you are interested in the dahn line, and specify the origin, grade, and quantity you are looking toward if you have preliminary ideas. We will add you to the interest list and get back to you upon first availability, and you can at the same time request a quote for wood or a sample to evaluate our source.
The pure dahn line is becoming available from graded Indonesian wood. Register your interest to be the first we notify, or evaluate our source now with a wood sample.
