Alhamdulillah, another proud milestone for Fuse Kuala Lumpur and Malaysiaβs oud & fragrance industry.
For the first time in 9 years, the Advanced Oud-Based Perfumery Workshop was successfully held at MTIB from 9β11 April 2026, a rare and valuable platform for those ready to step into the art of perfumery.
Over 25 participants were introduced to the craft of building accords, fantasy accords, and bases, then challenged to transform their own creations into finished perfume formulas. From Rose, Jasmine, Honeysuckle, Orchid, and Magnolia accords to fougere, chypre, oriental, and leather bases, each participant explored the kind of creative discipline that shapes their own true perfume identity.
The workshop became even more significant with the attention of the Kementerian Perladangan dan Komoditi - KPK (Ministry of Plantation and Commodities). YB Minister Dato' Dr. Noraini Ahmad even set a special challenge for all participants: to create a perfume dedicated to her. A surprise visit by the Deputy Secretary General, YBhg. Dato' Razali Mohamad further underscored the importance of this initiative and the quality of the work produced.
Our deepest appreciation to the Malaysian Timber Industry Board for organizing this, evaluator panels Hamzainie Hamzah, Fayzi Omar and Diana Hadirin, and especially Melor Chan for the excellent coordination throughout the programme.
This workshop has became a gateway for passionate creators, brand builders, and future perfumers to learn, experiment, and build something truly remarkable with Malaysian oud.
Thank you all for making our initiative to promote Malaysian Oud & heighten our fragrance industry a step further. We hope that all participants will continue to create great fragrances and make Malaysia proud. Hope that Malaysian Timber Industry Board will continue their part in organizing such workshops, again.
