Description

Agarwood Essential Oil, also known as OUD oil, is an extremely rare and precious oil extracted from trees in the Aquilaria family, which grow throughout northeastern India, Bhutan, and parts of southeast Asia. Miracle Botanicals Agarwood Essential Oil comes from the Aquilaria Crassna species in Thailand.

Agarwood Essential Oil is the result of a very unusual process. Normally, the heartwood of Aquilaria trees is light in color and doesn't have a strong aroma.

However, when the wood is infected by a specific kind of mold, the tree produces an oleoresin as that saturates the wood as a defense mechanism, giving it a very dark color and the unique aroma. Even though it has a mythic status in many religions, agarwood oil is still relatively unknown in the West.

It is quickly taking root among designer perfumes, but at the moment, most agarwood oil is still consumed in Japan and Saudi Arabia. Agarwood oil is one of the rarest and most expensive natural products in the world.

A part of this is due to the small number of remaining trees that can produce this kind of oil, and another part is due to the complex and long-running process that's needed for the oil to be created. Not surprisingly, the market has become flooded by cheaper, synthetic imitations that hardly contain any actual agarwood extract.
