The Academy Where Knowledge, Craft, and Heritage Converge
Across civilizations, Oud has been revered as more than a fragrance — it is a language of spirit, culture, and identity. From ancient incense trails to royal palaces, from temple rituals to modern perfumeries, Oud has shaped human history through its rare scent and profound symbolism.
Oud Academia was founded to honor this legacy — and to lead its future.
As the official learning and training arm of the Crown Institute for Agarwood Science, Art & Sustainable Enterprise (CI-ASASE), Oud Academia stands as the world’s first integrated academy dedicated to the science, art, culture, and sustainable enterprise of Agarwood.
Here, traditional knowledge meets modern research. Heritage meets innovation. Craft meets industry.
