Listing ID #4094094

We are legally "licensed" to deal, purchase and sell Agarwood in India by the concerned Forest authorities. A wide range of genuine agarwood is available to suit every pocket.

Agarwood is the resinous wood from the Aquilaria tree, native to northern India, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Southern China and Vietnam. The trees frequently become infected with a parasite fungus, Phialophora paracitica, and then begin to produce an aromatic resin, in response to this attack. The fungus and decomposition process continue to generate a very rich and dark resin forming within the heartwood. Agar develops very, very slowly over time-typically several hundred years or more to form. Hence, this is why it is so rare and valued as the most sacred oil and incense on the planet.

Holy places of Buddhism, Shintoism and Islam use distilled agarwood oil as temple offerings and insence.
