INCI: Aquilaria Agallocha (Agarwood) Resin

Escentia Agar Wood Pure Essential Oil is a concentrated essential oil used in perfumery, personal care, and aromatic blending. Also known as oud, it is valued for its deep, rich aroma and is often chosen for grounding, atmospheric blends. It is especially popular in meditation, diffusion, and fragrance work where a warm, resinous scent profile is desired. This is a potent ingredient and should be used in very small amounts.

♡ Why we love it: Agar wood has a beautifully distinctive character that brings depth and richness to aromatic blends. It is one of those oils that adds an instantly more luxurious, contemplative feel to perfumes, diffuser blends, and ritual-style formulations.
