Character of agarwood (oud)
The note of agarwood is deep, warmly woody and slightly balsamic in nature, long valued in the world of perfumery. The fragrance used here is made specifically for home aromatic use, so it is an aroma oil rather than an undiluted essential oil. You receive a serious, elegant fragrance that is softer and easier to dose than a classic oud perfume note.
How you can use it at home
Drop a few drops into the water bowl of an aroma lamp or into a cool diffuser, then light the tea candle. It suits evening reading, deep study work and calm living-room moods. In cooler months it feels especially homely, as the warm woody note blends with the heated indoor space.
Dosing and combinations
For one aroma lamp, three to five drops are typically enough, depending on how full a scent you wish. The note of agarwood is best enjoyed on its own, so its serious character may unfold fully. If you do combine it, it works well with gentle floral or citrus aroma oils, with the balance set by your own taste.
Safety and storage
Do not apply the aroma oil directly to skin, do not consume it, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Always place the aroma lamp on a stable, heat-resistant surface and keep at least ten centimetres from curtains and books. Stored in a cool, dark place, the scent keeps its character for many months.
Who will appreciate it most
You will benefit especially if you enjoy serious, woody scents, work from home a lot and seek a calm background mood. Evening reading nooks, studies and library rooms also suit this oil well, since the woody note remains soothing over longer periods.
