About this deal

Overharvesting and habitat loss threatens some populations of agarwood-producing species. Concern over the impact of the global demand for agarwood has thus led to the inclusion of the main taxa on CITES Appendix II, which requires that international trade in agarwood be monitored. Monitoring is conducted by Cambridge-based TRAFFIC (a joint WWF and IUCN programme). [40] CITES also provides that international trade in agarwood be subject to controls designed to ensure that harvest and exports are not to the detriment of the survival of the species in the wild.

Research is also underway to understand the antidepressant effects of oud. The odour of agarwood is complex and pleasing, [26] with few or no similar natural analogues. In the perfume state, the scent is mainly distinguished by a combination of "oriental-woody" and "very soft fruity-floral" notes. The incense smoke is also characterised by a "sweet-balsamic" note and "shades of vanilla and musk" and amber (not to be confused with ambergris). [8] As a result, agarwood and its essential oil gained great cultural and religious significance in ancient civilizations around the world, being described as a fragrant product as early as 1400 BCE in the Vedas of India. [27] Oud oil is also beneficial for the hair and scalp. Indeed, Sanskrit poet, Kālidāsa (c. 353-c. 420), describes “beautiful women...suspend their dark hair in the smoke of burning aloes.” (aloes was the ancient word for agarwood).

Psalms 45: "All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad." The resinous wood is soaked in water then either separated and used in chips for burning or it is distilled to produce oud oil. The oil is then dried in sunlight to evaporate excess moisture. The production of high-quality oud is a revered skill carried out by dedicated artisans following methods passed down through the generations.Burrow, T., and M. B. Emeneau (1984).

Some merchants have been found to cheat by adding lead to oud to increase its weight. Inhalation of lead fumes can damage the body.

Traders, perfumers, aromatherapists, travellers, romanticists and writers have long grappled with the right words to describe the scent of oud. Furlong, Monica (1986). Zen Effects: the Life of Alan Watts. Houghton Mifflin. p. 196. OCLC 13821191. ISBN 9780395353448. In Cambodia, it is called chann crassna. The fragrance from this wood is called khloem chann (ខ្លឹមចាន់) or khloem chann crassna. khloem is 'hard wood' and chann crassna is the tree species Aquilaria crassna in the Khmer language. Oud has become a popular component in perfumery. Most brands have a creation based on or dedicated to "oud" or an accord of oud created through the use of certain chemical scent components. Few perfume houses use real oud in their creations. This is because oud is very expensive and potent. Oud is generally used as a base note and is traditionally paired with rose. Oud essential oil is available on the internet but care should be taken in choosing the vendor. Due to the fact that oud is such an expensive material there is a big market for diluting oud oil with patchouli or other chemical components. The genus Gyrinops, is closely related to Aquilaria and in the past all species were considered to belong to Aquilaria. Blanchette, Robert A.

In the Hebrew Bible, "trees of lign aloes" are mentioned in The Book of Numbers 24:6 [28] and a perfume compounded of aloeswood, myrrh, and cassia is described in Psalms 45.

Seven Medicinal Benefits of Oud: As the centuries have progressed, research and use of oud have resulted in many more benefits being attributed to its oils. During the sixth century CE in Japan, in the recordings of the Nihon Shoki (The Chronicles of Japan) the second oldest book of classical Japanese history, mention is made of a large piece of fragrant wood identified as agarwood. The source for this piece of wood is claimed to be from Pursat, Cambodia (based on the smell of the wood). The famous piece of wood still remains in Japan today and is showcased less than 10 times per century at the Nara National Museum.The word ultimately comes from one of the Dravidian languages, [10] [11] probably from Tamil அகில் (agil). [12] Vernacular names [ edit ] Aquilaria tree showing darker agarwood. Poachers had scraped off the bark to allow the tree to become infected by the ascomycetous mould.

There are seventeen species in the genus Aquilaria, large evergreens native to southeast Asia and south asia, and nine are known to produce agar wood. [35] In theory agarwood can be produced from all members; however, until recently it was primarily produced from A. malaccensis. A. agallocha and A. secundaria are synonyms for A. malaccensis. [1] A. crassna and A. sinensis are the other two members of the genus that are usually harvested. The gyrinops tree can also produce agarwood. [36] Steam distillation process used to extract agarwood essential oils Oud oil can be distilled from agar wood using steam; the total yield of oil for 70kg of wood will not exceed 20 ml.

Just something that it comes across as a bitter smell and not particularly nice. Oud has also been linked to the worsening of childhood asthma symptoms, though the study concludes this was likely due to a gene variant increasing susceptibility.

My Account

The composition of agarwood oil is exceedingly complex with more than 150 chemical compounds identified. [7] At least 70 of these are terpenoids which come in the form of sesquiterpenes and chromones; no monoterpenes have been detected at all. Other common classes of compounds include agarofurans, cadinanes, eudesmanes, valencanes and eremophilanes, guaianes, prezizanes, vetispiranes, simple volatile aromatic compounds as well as a range of miscellaneous compounds. [7] The exact balance of these materials will vary depending on the age and species of tree as well as the exact details of the oil extraction process. The Roman physician, Dioscorides described the medicinal uses of agarwood in his book Materia Medica (65 CE), a pharmacopoeia of medicinal plants and medicines used to treat human complaints. Other mythologies have suggested that agarwood was the only cutting that Adam was allowed to take from the garden of Eden.
