Plant Description:
Agarwood, aloeswood or hardwood is a fragrant dark resinous wood used in incense, perfume, and small carvings. It is formed in the heartwood of aquaria trees when they become infected with a type of mould (Phialophora parasitica). Before infection, the heartwood is odourless, relatively light and pale coloured; however, as the infection progresses, the tree produces a dark aromatic resin, called aloes or agar (as well as gaharu, jinko, oud, or both; not to be confused with bukhoor), in response to the attack, which results in a very dense, dark, resin embedded heartwood. The resin embedded wood is valued in many cultures for its distinctive fragrance and thus is used for incense and perfumes. The aromatic qualities of agarwood are influenced by the species, geographic location, its branch, trunk and root origin, length of time since infection, and methods of harvesting and processing.

Agarwood Formation
Known also as Oud oil, agarwood is one of the most precious, rare and certainly most expensive essential oils in existence today. Agarwood is sometimes called Aloeswood. The essential oil is derived from the heartwood of the agarwood tree. There are several popular species but typically aquaria malaccensis, aquaria agallocha or Aquilaria crassna are used to make the oil. Agarwood is native to Vietnam as well as several areas of South East Asia including Laos & Cambodia.

When the trees are healthy, agarwood has a light or pale colour but when it is infected by the 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 that is so highly prized and from which agarwood essential oil is extracted.

In the wild, the production of this resin can take many years and like a good wine, the older the resin-the more prized it becomes. Because of its huge cost and extreme rarity in the wild, the trees are now cultivated and the resin is actually created by artificial infection and its essential oil extracted by water distillation.
