Why is Oud so Expensive?

Aquilaria malaccensis is the preferred source of agarwood for perfumery and religious traditions in the Middle East and in India. It has been an important part of religious rituals believed to facilitate a connection between man and the divine.

In the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh (a canonical collection of Hebrew scriptures, including the Torah, the Nevi’im, and the Ketuvim), “trees of lign aloes” are mentioned in The Book of Numbers 24:6 and a perfume compounded of aloeswood, myrrh, and cassia is described in Psalms 45:8.

John 19:39

Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes - (aloeswood/agarwood/ouds), about seventy-five pounds.

Proverbs 7:17

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes (aloeswood/agarwood/ouds), and cinnamon.

Agarwood (Oud) has been used in Malaysia for cosmetic purposes, particularly during sickness and after childbirth. The medicinal benefits of agarwood have also been documented in the Ayurvedic medicinal text, the Susruta Samhita.

Agarwood’s use as a medicinal product was also recorded in Islamic hadīth (collections of statements and actions of the Prophetﷺ) collection of Sahih Muslim, which dates to around the eighth century.

In another authentic hadith canon, Imam Bukhari reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Treat with Indian incense (‘Oud al-Hindi), for it has healing for seven diseases; it is to be sniffed by one having throat problems, and to be put into one side of the mouth by one suffering from pleurisy.”
