It's scientific name is Aquilara Malaccensis Lam. or Aquilaria agallocha. It is a very popular ingredient in Japanese incense and is often used in Traditional Chinese, Unanai, Ayurvedic, and Tibetan medicine. The Aquilaria tree grows up to 40 meters high and 60 centimeters in diameter. It bears sweetly-scented, snow-white flowers. The trees frequently become infected with a parasite fungus or mold, Phialophora parasitica, and begin to produce an aromatic resin, in response to this attack. It is this precious resinous wood that is treasured around the world. Today the resin is commonly called Jinko, **Aloeswood, Agarwood, and Oud. ** -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2006-10-12 15:38:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oud Perfume Oil from the **Agarwood Tree** Few perfume oils have the mystique of Oud. Oud is made from the fragrant resin found in Aquilaria trees, commonly referred to as Agarwood, Aloeswood and Eaglewood. It has been loved and treasured for thousands of years, by mystics and romantics alike. Oud is proclaimed as a aid to spiritual meditation. Lovers use it as an aphrodisiac. Indeed, the hunger for Oud is so great that in most parts of the world Agarwood trees are nearing extinction and the wood is obtained by poachers. **Agarwood** is believed to have originated in the Assam region of India, and from there spread throughout southeast Asia. Oud now comes from India, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines… and while trees dwindle, the demand keeps growing. There is good news, though, for Oud lovers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2006-10-12 15:39:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The above reference is not working either... sorry... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2006-10-12 15:41:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The "tigerflag" reference should work... http://www.tigerflag.com/perfumeblog/?p=37 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2006-10-12 15:42:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It also has pictures of the tree...
