Agarwood, also known as oud or aloeswood, is a rare and highly prized fragrant resinous wood derived from the Aquilaria tree, found predominantly in Southeast Asia. Due to its rich, complex scent, agarwood has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, perfumery, and religious ceremonies. However, increasing demand for agarwood has led to over-harvesting and illegal trade, resulting in the species being classified as endangered in the wild. Sustainable cultivation and conservation efforts are crucial to safeguarding the future of this precious and culturally significant resource.
