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.

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.
