Hainan Aquilaria Sinensis Insect-Damaged Oud

Sourced from Hainan’s Aquilaria sinensis trees, this premium insect-damaged agarwood forms when the trees secrete resin to repair wounds caused by insect and ant infestations, followed by several years of natural maturation. Boasting a unique yellowish-green base color throughout, its oil veins interweave like natural blood vessels. Each piece is a gift of symbiosis between insects, ants and the trees, representing the ultimate rarity of authentic Hainan agarwood.
Fragrance Profile: Fresh herbal notes with a hint of sweetness greet the nose first; the heart notes bring soft, uplifting honeyed aromas infused with the moist breath of a post-rain rainforest; the base notes deliver a clean, penetrating coolness that clears the nasal cavity. Mild yet not faint, elegant yet not bland, this well-aged yellowish-green agarwood releases a pure, impurity-free fragrance when heated—offering an immersive experience of Eastern aromatic charm for meditation and incense appreciation.
Unlike ordinary agarwood with dark brown or black hues, its yellowish-green base exudes a fresh vibe, with oil veins of varying depths resembling a natural ink wash painting. Featuring a dense, solid texture without hollows, a small piece is enough to fill a space with fragrance. Whether used for indirect fire incense burning, filling sachets, or displayed as a curio, it stands out at first glance and is a coveted treasure for agarwood enthusiasts seeking unique, niche finds.
