  • Hello everyone,
    It is hardly news to many of you who follow my work, that I am fairly well known for my work with the ancient ingredient that is Aoud.
    I wanted to dedicate a video especially to the magic of this precious material, and to explore it in full detail, so that you can have an insight into my history with it, and my creative process working with it.
    I couldn't think of anything more appropriate that filming it in the staggeringly beautiful Arab Hall in Leighton House Museum in London.
    I do hope you like it, as I had the most wonderful time making it.
    Much love,
    Roja x

    Oud is an Arabic word for 'wood'. It's refers also to the masculine scent that's in 'bokhour' and it has some history behind it. Dried Agarwood and Aloswood were a common valued trade in ancient arabia and was prized by arabs and jews as it was associated with piety and holy sites.

    Living in a warm and humid weather of Puerto Rico, I imagine that dealing with the scent of oud should be very cafeful with the trigger.
    Nonetheless I hope to purchase some of your creations, soon.
