Agarwood, known as the "Wood of the Gods," is one of the rarest and most luxurious natural raw materials used in perfumery and traditional medicine. Derived from the heartwood of Aquilaria trees, agarwood forms when the tree becomes infected with a specific mold, prompting it to produce a dark, aromatic resin. The resulting material—dense, fragrant, and incredibly valuable—is highly prized across the Middle East, Asia, and around the world for its deep, woody, and complex scent.
At Ajmal Perfumes, we bring over 70 years of expertise in the art of perfumery, specializing in oud and agarwood-based fragrances. Our legacy, rooted in tradition and refined by innovation, offers customers a journey into the heart of Oriental perfumery. Whether you are a connoisseur or new to the world of oud, Ajmal's premium agarwood collection provides the perfect introduction to timeless elegance.
What is Agarwood?
Agarwood, also called oud, aloeswood, or gaharu, is created when Aquilaria trees become infected with a type of mold (Phialophora parasitica), prompting the tree to secrete a resin as a defense mechanism. This resin-laden heartwood is harvested and processed to extract oud oil or is used directly as woodchips for incense.
Key Characteristics of Agarwood:
Origin: Found primarily in Southeast Asia—India, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos.
Fragrance Profile: Deep, woody, smoky, leathery, and slightly sweet.
Cultural Significance: Used for centuries in spiritual rituals, traditional medicine, and fine perfumery.
Why Agarwood is So Valuable
The rarity of agarwood lies in the natural process of resin formation, which occurs in only a small percentage of Aquilaria trees. Combined with overharvesting and a growing demand for natural oud, agarwood has become one of the most expensive raw materials in the world.
Factors Influencing Price:
Origin and Species of Tree
Age of the Resin Formation
Purity and Grade
Method of Extraction (Traditional vs. Distilled Oil)
At Ajmal Perfumes, we ensure ethical sourcing of agarwood and offer only the highest quality products, ranging from pure agarwood chips to distilled oud oils and luxurious blended perfumes.
