Agarwood oil is not just a scent — it's a journey through culture, nature, and luxury. 🌿
In this article, we dive deep into its origin, rarity, and why CeylonSpizee's Agarwood offering is trusted by discerning customers worldwide.
Agarwood oil, also known as oud oil, is one of the rarest and most valuable essential oils in the world. It is derived from the resinous heartwood of Aquilaria trees, formed only when the tree becomes infected with a particular mold. The resulting resin produces a dark, aromatic wood that, when distilled, yields an intense, woody, and complex oil. Used for centuries in high-end perfumery, traditional medicine, and spiritual ceremonies, Agarwood is more than just a fragrance — it's a cultural treasure.
In traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Arabic medicine, Agarwood oil is revered for its grounding, calming, and healing properties. It is used to relieve anxiety, enhance meditation, and even improve digestion. The scent is believed to connect the physical world with the spiritual, making it a staple in sacred rituals. With over 150 active compounds, Agarwood oil also possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial benefits that modern science is only beginning to validate.
Several factors contribute to the high cost of Agarwood oil: its rarity, labor-intensive harvesting, and the long natural formation process which can take decades. Only a small percentage of Aquilaria trees naturally produce resin. Additionally, sustainable sourcing and ethical harvesting require specialized techniques. Premium-grade oud oil can sell for thousands of dollars per kilogram, and its value only increases as it ages — much like fine wine.

Our distillation process preserves the full aromatic profile, without diluting or chemically altering the oil. We proudly offer 100% pure, undiluted oud oil — free from synthetics and fillers.
