Qiteat Al Aoud

Qiteat Al Aoud is the authentic agarwood chunk manufactured from resinous wood of Aquilaria agallocha, it is commonly called as agarwood, aguru, aloeswood, aoud, eaglewood, gaharu, jinkhu, ood, oud and oudh. Agarwood tree is native to South and Southeast Asia. It is an evergreen tree that can grow up to forty meters. The tree produces a dark aromatic resin when they become infected with a type of mold (Phialophora parasitica). Prior to infection, the heartwood is odorless, relatively light and pale colored; however, as the infection progresses, the tree produces the resin, called aloes or agar, in response to the attack, which results in a very dense, dark, resin-embedded heartwood. This resin-embedded wood is highly valued in perfume industry for its distinctive fragrance.

Agarwood chunks are different than agarwood chips; agarwood chunks are much larger than the agarwood chips and have to cut into smaller pieces before burning. This agarwood chunks are densely resinated. We do not make different grades of chunks, because we select only highest quality agarwood pieces to carving the chunks. That mean is our agarwood chunks are highest quality and deserve the highest grade.
