Agarwood (Oud) Hydrosol Aroma — 10 ml

Introduction
Agarwood, also known as Oud, is one of the most mystical and revered scents in the world. Traditionally obtained from the resinous heartwood of Aquilaria trees, Oud has been treasured for centuries in perfumery, spirituality, and cultural rituals. Our Agarwood Hydrosol captures the gentle, watery essence of Oud through the process of hydrodistillation. Unlike the concentrated oil, the hydrosol provides a softer, subtler aroma — ideal for diffusers, room sprays, and skincare. At Herbsmetics, we feature Agarwood hydrosol in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket, where guests experience its unique balance of delicacy and depth.
