Extraction
Agarwood essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of the pathological exudate secreted by the plant infected with agarwood fungus. It appears as a viscous brown liquid with a wonderful scent, little known to Westerners. It actually releases a very particular, enchanting, inimitable note, which we might describe as amber, woody, and profound.
Affinity
Agarwood essential oil blends beautifully with Copaiba, Elemi, Juniper, Frankincense, Sandalwood, and Vetiver essential oils.
Property
Agarwood (or " Eagle Wood") essential oil, non-toxic and non-irritating, is a natural calming and tonic, and has exceptionally long-lasting deodorizing properties. It is well known that it is virtually impossible to recreate its fragrance artificially, as the synthesis of its many constituents—in addition to being highly complex—would be prohibitively expensive.
Uses
An exorbitantly expensive raw material, agarwood essential oil (an excellent fixative) has been used in perfumery, aromatherapy, and, since ancient times, in the production of incense sticks. Extremely relaxing, Buddhist monks have diffused it through fumigations for millennia to promote meditation. In the East, it is believed that its precious scent "...expels all negative energy, facilitating the opening of the upper chakras and harmony in all its forms."
Botany
Known by various names (Oudh, Jinko, Aloewood, Calambac, etc.), Agarwood is a large tree native to Southeast Asia, also found in Iran, India, and the Philippines. It can reach forty meters in height, with a trunk over two meters in diameter. It has thick, fleshy leaves, fragrant white-green bell-shaped flowers, and a very heavy, pale yellow heartwood: its wood, in fact, sinks when immersed in water. Only when the plant has reached a certain age and has been infected by certain fungi do the trunk and roots secrete an aromatic resinous substance. Unlike other resins that exude from the trunks, this one seeps into them, darkening the pulp; there is no way to determine whether it is present or in what quantity without cutting down the tree.
