How Agarwood Oil is made

Our Agarwood made its journey from distant lands and took many years to ripen and mature before it funneled into the bottle. Originating from an evergreen tree, agarwood is produced in its trunk to fight off natural occurring bacteria found in the jungles and wild forests of the Far East. As long as the tree grows, the potency of the Oud also increases. Its intoxicating aroma is a rare and precious substance also known as aloeswood.

Oud burner
The indigenous explorers who discover the Aloeswood trees in the jungle sell the wood to expert distillers, who begin the process of extracting the resin from the agarwood. Oud oil extraction can be performed through water or steam distillation.


In the case of water extraction, the Oud wood is immersed in water for three months. Thereafter, the expert distillers place the soaked wood into huge burners called 'stills' where the water evaporates. They cook the wood for many hours until the Agarwood resin dissolves and oil floats to the top. This is known as the Indian distillation method.


Steam extraction entails that they take the aloeswood chips and place them in a steam distillation unit. The great pressure of the steam forces the resin out of the agarwood and the Oud oil drips into a funnel. This method is more commonly used in the East Asian countries.


Once the oil has been distilled, collected, and bottled it is then sold to specialized distributors in the region. This is generic Oud oil, which is commonly found in the world market.


Oriscent Oud is specially produced by the most highly qualified distilleries in the Far East. Our unique distillation techniques and rigid standards of purity ensure that the Agarwood oil you get from us surpasses by far the generic qualities you can find in the common market. For one, we ensure that incense quality raw agarwood is used in the production of our agarwood oils. Too expensive for common distributors to implement, this is common practice at Oriscent, where the quality of our agarwood oils rivals the qualities of Oud produced even for the royal families of the Gulf and the Far East.


Enrich your life with the pure, genuine essence of Oriscent Oud Oils today.
