Technical Specifications
LOT: SEI-2025Why Buyers Source This Oil from India / Kannauj
Indian agarwood oil — known in the trade as 'oud Hindi' — is considered the original and most prized variety of oud in global perfumery. Sourced from Aquilaria agallocha trees in northeastern India (primarily Assam), Hindi oud is distinguished by its intensely animalic, smoky, leathery character that differs markedly from the sweeter, fruitier profiles of Cambodian or Laotian oud. Kannauj has been a centre for oud distillation and trade for generations, with distillers who understand the critical variables — wood grading, soaking time, distillation duration — that determine final oil quality. Each batch is GC-MS profiled for authenticity.
