Agarwood, also known as Oud or Aoud, is a highly valued and fragrant wood that is derived from the Aquilaria tree, particularly from species such as Aquilaria malaccensis. When the tree gets infected with a specific type of mold (Fusarium species), it responds by producing a dark, aromatic resin as a defense mechanism. This resin is what gives agarwood its distinctive scent and makes it so sought after.
