We understand how important it is to find a genuinely uplifting and soothing aromatic experience, and that's why we're so thrilled to share our exceptional Agarwood hydrosol, often called Oud hydrosol. The enchanting aroma of this luxurious hydrosol can evoke feelings of calm and connection, making it an excellent addition to your self-care rituals.
Our Agarwood hydrosol is handcrafted with care and distilled from the precious Aquilaria malaccensis trees found in the lush landscapes of our essential oil distiller's expansive plantation in Thailand. We take pride in our partnership with a dedicated distiller who is committed to preserving the beauty of these trees and the heritage of Agarwood essential oils. During a recent visit, we had the opportunity to acquire this exceptional hydrosol. Although the transportation costs to bring it back to Maine were quite high, we chose to make it available to you due to its outstanding quality.
We believe that nature has a way of wrapping us in warmth and comfort; each drop of this hydrosol is a testament to that belief. It’s not just a product; it’s a moment of serenity, carefully sourced to enrich your life and create a space of tranquility. We're excited for you to experience the magic of this hydrosol and hope it brings you peace and joy.
The fragrance of this hydrosol is a complex symphony that unfolds gracefully on the senses. It begins with rich, buttery wood notes that evoke the natural warmth of aged timber, seamlessly blending into amber's smooth, incense-like qualities. This aromatic experience is further enhanced by a subtle hint of animalic musk, adding a layer of sensuality and depth to the overall scent.
While it is common for hydrosols to possess aromas that differ slightly from their essential oil counterparts, this particular hydrosol stands out. With just one whiff, Oud's deep, earthy scent is unmistakable. This remarkable hydrosol captures Oud's essence and embodies our distiller's artisanal craftsmanship and dedication, making it a unique and exquisite addition to any collection.
Consider blending a small amount with any floral hydrosol to achieve a luxuriously scented facial or bed linen mist. The blending possibilities with Agarwood hydrosol are limitless. Our favorite floral that blends so well is
Rose Centifolia Hydrosol, Organic. Consider blending with
Sandalwood Hydrosol and
Cedarwood Himalayan Hydrosol for a masculine facial toner.
When misted on the face, this hydrosol will leave you relishing its extremely pleasant and calming aroma. Agarwood hydrosol is an excellent addition to any masculine or unisex-scented facial product.
