Agarwood

Agarwood is a marvellous but pathological phenomenon. Traded as agarwood, it is commonly referred to as gaharu in Indonesia but is also known as eaglewood, aloes wood and agalocha. It forms as a reaction to fungal and/or bacterial attack and is found on certain species of Aquilaria - a fast growing, evergreen tree, that normally grows to 18 - 21 m but sometimes up to 40 m in height. Infected trees secrete a fragrant, protective oil into wounded areas (roots, branches or sections of the trunk), which gradually become harder and darker. Normally harvesters would cut only the infected parts in the hope that the tree would produce more of this resinous wood. Aquilaria species that produce agarwood are found throughout Asia. For example, Aquilaria malaccencis, which is traded the most, can be found from India to Indonesia. These trees are relatively easy to grow and experimental plantations exist in most producing countries. However, fungal introduction (or inoculation) still poses a major problem, making it difficult to produce agarwood on a significant scale. This is why it is still harvested from the wild. Agarwood has been used to make high quality incense since antiquity. The Chinese describe its smell as "a sweet, deep but balanced fragrance" and continue to use it in religious and festive celebrations, as do Arabians, Indian and Japanese people. Agarwood is also part of many traditional pharmacopoeias, dating back to medieval times and Chinese doctors still prescribe it for colds and disgestion problem. Oil extracted from agarwood is used in Arabic countries as a perfume as well. Unlike many industrial perfumes, it is suitable for hot climates as the longer you wear it, the better it smells! In spite of its unique qualities though, agarwood is rarely used in European perfumeries because of its cost, and good quality synthetic substitutes are yet to be created.

Our Agarwood quality is being selected and graded according to the basic specifications / Criteria of Grading system that is being used in the Agarwood business.

The few basic specifications are The Oleoresin content, The Colour, and The Aroma/Smell.
Based on the above specifications our Agarwood is graded into various types and qualities which have been approved and accepted by major customers in the Middle East Countries which are the main export market for Agarwood.

Sandalwood

Sandalwood is the name of a class of fragrant woods from trees in the genus Santalum. The woods are heavy, yellow, and fine-grained, and unlike many other aromatic woods they retain their fragrance for decades. As well as using the harvested and cut wood, essential oils are also extracted from the woods for use. Both the wood and the oil produce a distinctive fragrance that has been highly valued for centuries. Consequently, the slow-growing trees have been overharvested in many areas. Logs and blocks can use for caving. Chips can refine to oil made perfume and after refined the powder can made joysticks.

Gambier

Gambier a.k.a catechu, a common ingredient used by Asians in chewing betel nut, is prepared from parts of the shrub Uncaria gambier (Uncaria gambir) of the family Rubiaceae. There are two varieties of catechu: pale and black. Gambier is the pale variety, while black catechu is obtained from the tree Acacia Catechu.
