Agarwood – “Wood of the Gods” or one of the most expensive fragrant wood in the world (part 1)
From ancient times in folks exists an item that is considered the most noble, sacred and valuable which is called Agarwood or Oud or Gaharu.
Agarwood, from folks an legendary
Agarwood is a rare kind of wood that is hidden deep in dangerous jungles. People who choose the job to seek Agarwood may has to exchange their lives to bring this precious item to their kings.
According to Al Jazeera report, there are many different types of Agarwood with different prices. Therein, kynam is the most expensive type. Only 01 gram costs up to $10,000. In China, in 2014 kynam sold for $9,000,000 / kilogram.
What makes Agarwood cost that much?
Aquilaria Crassna is a family consisting of 25 species yet only 19 of them can produce Agarwood. According to Professor Gishi Honda (Tokyo University – Japan), Aquilaria Crassna species in Vietnam produces the best Agarwood in the world.
It is said that the rarity of Agarwood is resulted from an estimate – only fewer than 2% of wild mature Aquilaria tree produce Agarwood and the process takes years from years. These trees also hard to be found as they usually grown in deep, oldest jungles where people or civilization are nowhere to be found.
In addition, the proper conditions for a tree to secrete its scented resin, which through time would become harder to transform to the thing we call Agarwood, is barely happened.
How about Agarwood of the present?
Now, people have successfully planted Aquilaria Crassna in large plantations. From at least 10 year-old Aquilaria tree, some specific bacteria are implanted into tree’s trunk to stimulate the tree to secrete the precious scented resin to form Agarwood in 2 -3 years till harvestation.
While the source of Agarwood in South Asian nations has decreased because of deforestation and over-exploitation, Vietnam, with a large quantity of cultivated Aquilaria tree plantations, is recognized as the country owning the highest quality Agarwood.
If it’s just a fragrance, then why is it worth such a fortune?

That is the cost makes Agarwood oil to be called “liquid gold” due to its scarcity along with enormous benefits for human physical, mental, emotional health. And most importantly, it’s position in the fragrant culture and spiritual notions.
