Agarwood is the heartwood from trees, large evergreens native to southeast Asia. The trees occasionally become infected with a parasite mould and begin to produce an aromatic resin in response to this attack. As the fungus grows, the tree produces a very rich, dark resin within the heartwood. It is this precious resinous wood that is treasured around the world. The resin is commonly called Jinko, Aloeswood, Agarwood or Oud and is valued in many cultures for its distinctive fragrance, thus it is used for and .
One of the reasons for the relatively rarity and high cost of agarwood is the depletion of the wild resource.The odour of agarwood is complex and pleasing, with few or no similar natural analogues. As a result, agarwood and its gained great cultural and religious significance in ancient civilizations around the world.
Formation of agarwood occurs in the trunk and roots of trees that have been infected by a parasitc mould, Phialophora parasitica, a dematiaceous (dark-walled) fungus. As a response, the tree produces a resin high in volatile organic compounds that aids in suppressing or retarding fungal growth. While the unaffected wood of the tree is relatively light in colour, the resin dramatically increases the mass and density of the affected wood, changing its colour from a pale beige to dark brown or black. In natural forest only 7 % of the trees are infected by the fungus. High quality resin comes from a tree's natural immune response to a fungal attack. It is commonly known as agarwood #1 (first quality). (Sources: wikipedia)
