The author of Fragrance and Wellbeing, Jennifer Peace Rhind writes that the fragrance of Agarwood
can transport us through time and space to an imagined antiquity. We think this offering could do just that! Our Agarwood essential oil envelops with a highly persistent sweet warmth, deep, precious and magnificent woody aroma, shades of smoky, amber-y incense, honeyed tobacco, and sensuously underscored with animalic notes resembling musk/castoreum. The aroma becomes sweeter and musky/woody in the very long drydown. This is it – rich, balanced, complex, unforgettable, and absolutely amazing.
