PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Agarwood Essential Oil, known as Oud, is the rarest, most precious aromatic in existence—forged when Aquilaria trees undergo decades of fungal infection, secreting a dark, resinous heartwood (Jinkoh). Steam-distilled from this resin-saturated wood, true oud oil delivers an unparalleled olfactory journey: decaying roses in a damp forest, smoked honey, saddle leather, antique parchment, and meditative incense. Revered in Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions, it embodies transcendence and opulence.
Key Aromatics: Fungal woodrot, barnyard leather, violet petals, birch tar, ambergris, incense smoke.
AUTHENTICITY PROTOCOLS
Adulteration Rate: 92% of commercial “oud” is synthetic/bioengineered.
Verification Requires:
-
GC-MS Reports: Confirm presence of agarospirol, jinkoh-eremol, α-eudesmol.
-
Organoleptic Test: Authentic oud numbs the tongue tip when dabbed.
-
Origin Certificates: CITES Appendix II permits for wild-sourced wood.
Candle/Diffuser Warning: Never use pure oud oil—heat destroys nuances. Use oud-infused fragrance oils instead.
