What does Agarwood Artessence smell like?
A nature-identical reconstitution of oud oil. Suppliers describe it as woody, animalic, balsamic, earthy, spicy and leathery, with a good dose of the barnyard smell present in a lot of oud oils. It is a pale brown to brown viscous liquid, specific gravity around 1.0, miscible with alcohol, DPG, IPM and most carrier oils, with a published blotter substantivity of 240 hours. In a formula it is the affordable stand-in for oud oil: a heavy animalic base that anchors woody and amber accords and carries the funk that a cleaner oud base deliberately leaves out. Retailers point perfumers wanting a drier, cleaner, woodier profile to a plain oud wood base instead.
