Oud Grading Handbook

The world’s first structured 100-point grading framework for raw agarwood and oud oil. Developed by Australian researcher and oud scholar Kareema Toutounji, this handbook introduces a teachable, repeatable evaluation system modelled on the Specialty Coffee Association’s Q-grader methodology. Covering everything from resin saturation and heated aroma to source transparency and sustainability, it gives collectors, distillers, retailers, and connoisseurs a shared language for assessing oud quality with clarity and confidence.
