Agarwood, also known as oud, is a precious aromatic material highly valued across global markets for its deep, woody, resinous and complex fragrance. It has historically and internationally been used for luxury incense, haute parfumerie, bakhoor, aromatic blends and various high-end craft products.
The formation of this resin is the result of a natural defence reaction of the tree (primarily from the genus Aquilaria) in response to external factors. This rare biological process gives oud wood its inestimable value and unique olfactory signature.
At Africa Oud Supply, we showcase this resource by offering prepared, sorted and fully documented batches for export to demanding international markets.
A mature Aquilaria tree in Gabon's equatorial forest — the source of premium agarwood (oud).
This cross-section reveals the dark agarwood resin formed deep inside the Aquilaria tree trunk. When the tree responds to a fungal infection or physical wound, it produces a dense, dark, intensely fragrant resinous heartwood — this is oud.
The darker and denser the resin vein, the higher the grade and value of the agarwood. Our supply network sources only from verified, mature trees — ensuring every batch meets the olfactory standards of international perfumers and incense traders.
