Agarwood, a tree growing in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, is one of the most revered incenses for use in meditation, purifying the body and mind. Agarwood comes from the Arabic word al-oud, meaning “wood,” and is commonly called “oud wood.” It was also known as “aloe wood” and “eagle wood” in ancient times. The most common agarwood species are Aquilaria agallocha and Aquilaria crassna. The tree develops colorful, dense, and surprisingly aromatic formations wherever the tree has been attacked by a parasitic fungus. These formations are what have been used in perfumery since ancient times. This precious wood, with woody and animal notes, is a veritable olfactory treasure trove for perfume compositions, combining sensuality and strength.
