Description and usage notes:
An excellent and tenacious oud recreation by Firmenich that has been widely used in fine fragrances.
From Firmenich: “Odor: Woody, Balsamic Use: A reconstitution of agarwood oil. Intensely woody, reminiscent of vetyver, with sweet balsamic undertones.”
Longer lasting than the Givaudan Black Agar equivalent, this is a thick sticky liquid that only pours at warmer temperatures and is virtually impossible to draw into a pipette, so it’s easier to handle in dilution and we therefore also offer it 50% in IPM and at 10% in TEC.

My absolute favourite Oud replacement. A beautiful woody, animalic oud that doesn’t have any unexpected notes as it dries down. A faithful reproduction of a full oud. Lasts a very long time and is a much truer oud than Black Agar which it often gets compared to.
