Apr
There are two types of oud wood chips or agarwood chips from Vietnam: Wild chips and cultivated chips.
Wild oud agarwood chips:
Wild oud chips are almost harvested from tropical forests in the middle area of Viet Nam. These provinces in Viet Nam are famous for the quality of wild agarwood chips: Khanh Hoa, Quang Nam, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Binh Phuoc, Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Lam Dong, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Ha Tinh, Thua Thien – Hue. Nowadays, we also have big plantation agarwood tree areas in Dong Nai, Phu Quoc, Ha Tinh, and Quang Binh.
About wild oud wood chips, we collect from foresters in many provinces because the quantity in Vietnam now is very low. The wild materials from Vietnam are different from other countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and India. They are thinner and maybe not as dark as Malaysia, and Indonesia materials. The smell of Viet Nam material is very sweet. Thin chips and sweet smell are the most different points between Viet Nam materials and other countries’ materials.
Why are agarwood chips from Vietnam a thin and sweet smell?
Why are wild oud wood chips from Vietnam thin? Because almost wild agarwood chip materials from Vietnam have a long time to lie in the ground or contact and are affected by humid weather. So wood parts in the tree are self-destroyed, only the remaining resin parts contain agarwood essential oil. The part with high oil density inside is thin.
Why is the smell of wild oud wood chips from Vietnam sweeter than other countries? It’s difficult to explain. Maybe the humid weather and soil in the middle area of Vietnam answer.
It also explains why an agarwood bracelet with a sink and big size of beads is expensive. Because there are not many high-oil natural agarwood chips with big size in the forest now. As the same result, the pure oud oil made of these wild agarwood chips is also expensive. The price of 1ml pure agarwood essential oil in the US market is from $50 to $150. Agarwood is also the most valuable wood or the world’s most expensive wood. The agarwood perfume oil is the most popular Arabic perfume.
Cultivated oud agarwood chips:
About cultivated agarwood in Viet Nam, the quality is medium. The shape of cultivated agarwood is normally bigger than wild material. The easy way to identify the cultivated material is the drilling hole. Almost cultivated aquaria trees need to be drilled into and added probiotics or chemicals to make agarwood.
