About this product
Agarwood is the scent of something very old: dark wood, damp earth, the hush of a shuttered room. If rocks had roots, they would smell like this. A smidgeon on a scent strip is still speaking hours later.
This oud is hydro-distilled from the wood of Aquilaria crassna trees more than twenty years old, naturally farmed in sustainably cultivated fields in Thailand, grown free of chemicals and closely regulated under official CITES guidelines. The oil is thick and resinous, dark orange in the bottle, and multi-layered on the strip: woody and slightly musky, with an animalic edge and an unexpected sweetness in its depths. It is a little less earthy than many agarwoods, all musty, sweet woodiness.
Much sought after as both oil and resin, agarwood is a base note in perfumery, the dark foundation beneath many high-end fragrances. You may also know it as oud or aloeswood.

How to use
Touch a drop to a scent strip and return to it through the day, or let it anchor a natural perfume as its base note. Dilute it in a carrier oil before it meets the skin, and keep it out of reach of children. A single bottle, kept close, for the evenings that deserve it.
