Link: Oud Wood at Perfume Shrine

I've always been a little fuzzy on what this oud wood stuff is. Perfume Shrine just published a fine article on the subject, so I wanted to point to it.

Edited 12/7: Hey, and another article about oud, from the Globe and Mail. (Pointed to by Now Smell This.) One more and I'll call this a compilation.
