In the background, the heart of this smoke reveals the nobility of ancient woods, with deep sandalwood undertones, resin-saturated agarwood, and that honeyed nuance so characteristic of exceptional Ouds. The composition is elevated by balsamic resins with lightly sweet and amber facets, rounding out the whole and giving it a smooth and mysterious dimension.

Usage Tips for our Aceh Oud:
1. Prefer gentle heating (Japanese Kōdō or soft Mabkhara)
Use an electric incense burner with temperature control or a natural charcoal covered with a fine layer of ash to reduce direct heat.
Optimal temperature: 80°C to 120°C
If the heat is too high, the Oud will burn harshly, spoiling its subtle notes. Avoid placing Oud directly on red-hot charcoal as the heat is too intense and will destroy its noble aromas.
At low temperatures, the aromatic oils are released slowly, offering a refined and elegant smoke.
2. Use a mica plate (on charcoal or electric burner)
Place a thin mica plate over the heat source (glowing charcoal or electric burner).
Gently place a small piece of Oud on the plate.
This method prevents the wood from direct contact with high heat and allows for a slow and controlled diffusion.
3. Use natural charcoal covered with ash (must be high quality ⚠️)
Light a natural charcoal and cover it with a thin layer of fine ash to soften the heat.
4. Timing and dosage…
Use very small pieces (0.1g to 0.3g) per session.
Avoid placing a large chunk directly on the charcoal. A tiny fragment is enough to perfume an entire room for dozens of minutes.
Its benefits:
Agarwood is also considered a very powerful aphrodisiac. In many cultures, women would scent their clothing and themselves with its fragrance. Used in medicine, agarwood is a remedy for nervous disorders such as neurosis, obsessive behaviors, and exhaustion. It is highly psychoactive and enhances our spiritual connection. This is why it is the incense of choice for meditation, bringing energy to the center and calming the mind. Its scent will bring you well-being and relieve your stress.
It is known for its benefits against stomach aches, certain cardiovascular diseases, neuropathies, nausea, or asthma. It is even widely used by the pharmaceutical industry because it is naturally rich in terpenoids (a natural sedative and anxiolytic) as well as polyphenols (a natural antioxidant). It also aids digestion. Its medicinal virtues have been proven, notably for sleep disorders, cholesterol, and much more.
Its rarity and countless virtues make agarwood an extremely sought-after precious wood, and therefore, an extremely costly one.
