Agar wood

Hi,

Agarwood is an invaluable woody note used mostly in luxurious Oriental and woody compositions. Use it for sensual, warm Oriental blends along with resins, balsams, spices and precious florals to make an outstanding perfume.

Agarwood trees must be infected by a fungi, prior to producing an oleoresin which saturates the wood. This oleoresin saturated wood is where the mystical fragrance of Oud originates.

Process of Extracting this oleoresin is done either in Steam distillation or by Supercritical Co2 Extraction.

You can mail me for clarifications if any.
