Cambodian Oud
The Cambodian Oud, also known as the Agarwood tree, it has a very special place among perfumers. Later, these Agarwood trees were also discovered in various countries including Malaysia Indonesia, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and others.
Agarwood (Oud) is highly revered in the key texts of all major religions including Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism and Islam. It is also very popular in the Middle East and widely appreciated for its rich and royal aroma in perfumery. The mystical and rich scent is also used as an aid to spiritual contemplation and to increase mental well-being. The tree begins to produce aromatic substances in response to the presence of a parasitic fungus, which is its natural symbiotic component.
How is OUD formed? The fungus attacks the tree inside and its defence is the creation of a surprisingly fragrant sap, from which a very rare oil - Oud - is later obtained by distillation. The increase in weight and density caused by the natural process leads to a radical change in colour. The colour of the Agarwood tree thus changes from light beige to dark brown or black.
The botanical name of the Agarwood tree is Aquilara Malaccensis Lam, it grows to a height of 40 meters and the width of the trunk is about 60 cm.
USE:
✅Oud provides fragrance for the production of perfumes without artificial chemicals in today's perfumes widely used.
✅ Oud-liquid gold: The selection of these rare essential oils, their high quality and perfect mastery of the distillation process and the art of creating intoxicating fragrant compositions gives perfumes a seal of originality and luxury. The price of these oils is up to 1.5 times higher than the price of gold, which is why they are also called "liquid gold". The average price of Indian agarwood oil, for example, is between 5,500 and 6,000 USD per litre. However, there are stock exchanges in the world where the real gems of these oils are traded and prices can climb up to 15,000 - 20,000 USD / 1 litre.
