Botanical Source: Aquilaria malaccensis
Extraction Method: Supercritical CO₂ Extraction
A high-value, full-spectrum extract obtained from Aquilaria malaccensis (and related species) using Supercritical CO₂ technology. Unlike hydrodistilled oud oil, this method preserves both volatile fragrance molecules and non-volatile resinous compounds, producing a truer, deeper representation of natural agarwood resin.
Composition
- Volatiles (essential oil fraction): sesquiterpenes, chromones, agarofurans, agarospiranes → responsible for the characteristic smoky-sweet agarwood aroma.
- Non-volatiles (resinous fraction): phenylethyl chromones, diterpenes, fatty acids, pigments → normally lost in steam distillation.
- Broad Spectrum Profile: captures the complex resin + essential oil synergy that defines high-grade oud.
Advantages of CO₂ Extraction
- Solvent-Free: Leaves no chemical residues; pure and safe.
- Low Temperature: Prevents degradation of fragile compounds, yielding a smoother aroma.
- Full-Spectrum: Retains both light volatiles (top notes) and heavy resins (base notes).
- Eco-Friendly: CO₂ is recyclable and green.
- Premium Value: Considered the “gold standard” for luxury perfumery and aromatherapy oils.
Aroma Profile
- Rich, complex, true-to-agarwood scent.
- Smoky, sweet, balsamic, with resinous depth.
- Longer-lasting on skin/perfumery base compared to hydrodistilled oud.
Applications
- Luxury Perfumes: as a rare base note fixative.
- High-End Aromatherapy: calming, grounding, spiritual practices.
- Pharmaceutical/Nutraceutical: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial activity (broad-spectrum extract retains more bioactives).
- Cosmeceuticals: potent antioxidant + skin-regenerative benefits.
Market Position
