MANUFACTURE PROCESS

Steam Distillation: Agarwood oil, also known as Oud oil, is extracted from the heartwood of the agarwood tree (Aquilaria species). The wood undergoes steam distillation, where the steam carries the aromatic compounds from the wood. The steam is then condensed, separating the essential oil from the water.

Incense: Agarwood oil is used to scent incense sticks and cones due to its distinctive fragrance, which is believed to have calming and meditative properties.
