Enhanced Vietnamese Tiger Oud from Nafah Atyab Al-Oud is a choice for those who enjoy deep woods and a warm incense character. The Tiger name is associated with the striped appearance found in this style, making it a familiar option for home fragrance, welcoming guests and family celebrations.

Typical notes in this category include woods and smoke, sometimes accompanied by a lightly sweet touch. Individual batches can differ, and the burner temperature, amount used and ventilation influence the result. Start with a small piece and let it warm gently to find the intensity that suits your room.
