Our 100% pure Agarwood Essential Oil is carefully steam distilled from the ethically harvested, dark and aromatic heartwood of Aquilaria malaccensis trees grown in private tropical forest plantations in India. Known worldwide as Aloeswood, Eaglewood, Kyara, Ood, Oudh, or Ud, Agarwood has been treasured for centuries across cultures for its rare, mystical aroma. With its deep, sensual notes—bittersweet, leathery, and softly animalic—Agarwood Essential Oil is the foundation of the legendary Arabian perfume Oud, one of the oldest and most iconic incense materials of the Far East.

The Story of Agarwood

Agarwood forms when Aquilaria trees native to Southeast Asia are naturally infected by a parasitic fungus. To defend itself, the tree produces a dark, resin-rich oleoresin that permeates the heartwood, transforming it into a dense, aromatic material. This resin-saturated wood is then distilled to produce the rare and highly prized Agarwood Oil (Oud Oil), celebrated for both its fragrance and its therapeutic value.

SAFETY

Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes.

Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful oils and can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise required - for this reason, ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended.

We do not recommend using essential oils on pets, unless under the care of a veterinarian or aromatherapist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sourced internationally from sustainable crops of plants, grown organically wherever possible, and bottled locally in sunny SA, we're the best of all worlds.

Absolutely not, all of our oils are pure essential oils, nothing else. We will never supply oils with added fillers, synthetic additives or toxic chemicals.

Added to that our oils are certified organic wherever possible, or wild harvested from trees in remote places like the Amazon.

Whilst our oils are 100% pure and organic and as good quality as any others you can get, we do not recommend swallowing them. Oils are very strong and using too much, or the wrong oil can damage your digestive system.
Always ask your doctor or qualified aromatherapist before taking any essential
oils internally.
