Indian oud oil (or Aggarwood/Oud Oil /دهن العود in arabic) is well known amongst the oud lovers, connoisseurs, collectors for its unique fragrance which differentiates it from the oud found in other parts of the world. It is obtained from the Agar tree endemic to India (Aquilaria Agallocha / Aquilaria Malaccensis) that grows in Assam and other north eastern states of India like Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Meghalaya. In fact, agarwood tree is believed to have originated from Assam, India. Indian agarwood oil is soft and warm and stands out with its tangy, animalic odour to start with and later unfolds and matures with the smell of woods, trees, grass, rain forests, earth, fruits and flowers, resins, herbs and spices each deeply intertwined into each other and takes you to different, ancient world. It is often said that love for Indian agarwood oil is an acquired taste.
