COLABA OUD
The Complete Oud Weight and Tola Size Guide
Understand traditional tola units, bottle capacities, and net weights when buying agarwood chips and pure oils.
The Tola Measurement Standard
The traditional South Asian and Middle Eastern tola standard is exactly 11.66 grams. For pure oud oils, 1 tola equals approximately 12ml flacon capacity. Half tola equals 5.83g (6ml), and quarter tola (rubaa) equals 2.92g (3ml).
Comparing Raw Wood Weights
Oud wood chips are sold by net dry weight: 25 grams (beginner exploration), 50 grams (personal reserve), 100 grams, or 1 kilogram (ceremonial and wholesale).
Tare Weight vs Net Weight
Always verify that displayed weights exclude crystal flacons, presentation boxes, and brass packaging so you pay exclusively for pure aromatics.
