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, woody, resinous aroma and is often chosen for grounding, atmospheric blends. It is especially popular in meditation, diffusion and natural fragrance work where a warm, rich scent profile is wanted. This is a potent aromatic ingredient and should be used in very small amounts.
♡ Why we love it: Agar wood has a distinctive character that brings depth and richness to aromatic blends. It adds a luxurious, contemplative feel to perfumes, diffuser blends and ritual-style formulations.

About Essential Oils In General
Essential oils are highly concentrated plant essences. The ingestion of essential oils is not recommended without prior advice from your health care practitioner. Dilute in a carrier or base when necessary. Read our quick guide: Essential Oils

I've had bad experiences with Escentia products before but like an idiot I took a gamble on this. If you know Oudh you've smelled this fake stuff before. It smells like the inside of a violin case; rosin and teak oil. I thought I might just be biased so I actually ran a GC-MS analysis on this stuff. It's mostly fixed vegetable oil with some synthetics. Not pure, not natural, not Oudh. Don't trust this brand.
Quality and lovely scent. Thoroughly enjoying this product :) Thank you!
It has the strong smell of the attars that my grandfathers generation( in the 70’s) preferred.
