- Oriental Fragrances for Centuries
- Its rich scent and exotic associations have made it synonymous with oriental fragrances for centuries. But how many of us can say we are familiar with the process involved in obtaining Oud, or how best to use it in fragrance creation.
- Modern Perfumery
- Oud is one of the most expensive raw materials used in modern perfumery, top grade Oud Oil can cost over $50,000 per kilo. The current global market for agarwood is estimated to be worth over $12 billion and is growing rapidly.
Why it is so expensive
The main reason why it is so expensive is its scarcity. Not only has the International Union for Conservation of Nature and CITES classified the Aquilaria tree species as critically endangered (its population has declined by more than 80% over the past 150 years), estimates also suggest that agarwood production occurs naturally to only 7% of the trees.
- Agarwood Essential Oil
- When the trees are healthy, Agarwood has a light or pale color but when it is infected by disease, the process of infection creates a response to the attack resulting in a very dark and incredibly aromatic resin known as oleoresin. It is this rich dark resin which is so highly prized and from which Agarwood essential oil is extracted.
