The tree species grown and distilled by the company to create oud products is Aquilaria crassna, a large species native to Thailand found in southeast Asia. Aquilaria is also an endangered species protected by CITES, when oud oil is to be exported there must always be an approved CITES certificate for legal trade.
Oud oil is an aromatic essential oil distilled from the black resin within the agarwood tree; the oil is usually dark, caramel-colored, with a distinctively woody, aromatic scent. The quality and price of the oil can vary.
Soil management is important for the cultivation of agarwood trees.
