Agarwood (Woody / Earthy)
Aloeswood, also known as agarwood or oud, is a highly prized and aromatic resinous wood that comes from the Aquilaria tree species, primarily Aquilaria malaccensis. The wood develops its characteristic fragrance when infected with a specific type of mold, which triggers a natural defense mechanism in the tree, resulting in the production of resin.
The resin that forms within the wood is dark, dense, and rich in aromatic compounds. It's highly valued in perfumery, incense making, and traditional medicine across various cultures, particularly in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and East Asia.
