What-makes-good-Aloeswood

Finding Oud oil is not difficult. Finding exceptional Oud oil is quite a different story. Diamonds are readily available, but finding a Red Diamond will leave you having to ask more than once.

Just as a mystic sage grows in wisdom and spiritual insight over the years, so does the Agarwood resin in the Aquilaria trunk intensify its fragrance over time. The oldest and most resinated Aloeswood will yield the rarest and most precious Oud oil. The aging process enhances the fragrant aura of the Oud resin and intensifies its aromatic value.

That is why there is a wide range of different Oud qualities and grades. The cheapest Oud oil is distilled from agarwood that costs as little as $20 a kilogram, while the finest Oud can be distilled from agarwood that costs as much as $7,000 per kilogram. The latter is regarded as the highest quality Oud, and it is produced and cherished only by the most discriminating connoisseurs of fine Oud oil. Our Oud Mostafa and new Borneo 3000 are examples of this caliber.

But finding premium-grade Agarwood is only half the story. A great deal of fantastically good aloeswood has been wasted due to poor distillation practices. Marble in the hands of an amateur is not quite the same as in the hands of Michelangelo.

So there are primarily two factors determining the quality of your Oud oil: the grade of agarwood used in the extraction, and the meticulousness of the distillation process itself. Ensar Oud™ commissions and supervises its distillations according to rigorous and exclusive extraction methods which are patented and unique to Ensar Oud
