There was an overwhelming aroma of Oud the day I visited Putra Masjid and it was sensational. I asked someone if incense was burning but was informed no it was the collective smell of worshippers adorning themselves with Oud. What a beautiful aromatic. It was one of the highlights of my trip to visit this mosque and the local area in Putrajaya, Malaysia.
I can see why Oud is considered such a sacred scent and a medium to commune with God or the divine realm. I returned home with some amazing oud incense which I reserve for special practices
