Natural Agarwood is a classical material used in perfumery. When this wood is infected by certain fungi, it develops dark streaks charged with an odiferous oleoresin. The darkest grade, black or true agar, resembles black stone because of the intense impregnation of oil. This resin is highly valuable due to its rich, complex, powerful, woody-ambery scent. It is, however, an extremely expensive material that is difficult to find. Black Agar Givco 215 reflects the particular scent of burning Agarwood chips.
