What is Agarwood Oil?

Agarwood oil is the essential oil extracted from the steam distillation of resinous wood of Agarwood (Aquilaria) Tree, native to north-east regions of India.

The Agarwood tree grows up to 40 meters high and 60 centimeters in diameter. Trees are infected infected with a type of mould (Phialophora parasitica).

Prior to infection, the heartwood has no odour, relatively light and pale coloured; however, as the infection grows, the Agar tree produces a dark aromatic resin in response to the attack, which results in a very dense, dark, resin-embedded heartwood.

The resin-embedded wood has special significance in Arabic-middle eastern culture for its rich and unique fragrance.
