It’s being so long I’ve never write again. Not that I am lazy to update things up lately my hands are full busy thinking about other things. People around the globe are well known that oudh oil or Dehn Al Oudh are expensive. In this article I would like to explain almost about everything that related to dreadful price of oudh.
The first reason why oudh oil are expensive is it’s very hard to find it’s raw material. From all of the oudh trees in the jungles in Indonesia, only 10% of total population are fill with oudh resin. This made things harder since we cannot tell in which of the tree is really fill in with resin. So one thing or another you must cut the tree chop it and make it into pieces.
This make the second reason it need extensive labor, can you imagine cut down then chop down the tree into pieces even dug out it’s roots with only 1 or 2 people? And then you need to track the infection path on the tree chop the tree by follow this path . It’s not an easy job, Then cleaning the resinous part. Done yet ? nope not yet. Since this is hardest and the scariest part. Transporting it out. Many crooks out there that want quick cash want this tree. Especially the filled ones.
The last reason why Oudh oil is expensive is the difficulties in extracting it out. Since scientifically proven that Oudh rendement ( Raw Material VS Yield Comparation) is very low 0.1% (that if you are lucky enough) so to get 100 Grams of Oudh Oil you will need at least 100 Kg of raw material. Distiller use left over from the chopping process since if they use the incense (Upper Medang, Gubal) grade. It would a waste of money if distiller doing so since the wood itself sells. And in Oudh there are 2 substance impregnated inside the wood. These are the oil and the resin, the oil you can smell it when you burn it, the resin is what you see bubbling out from the wood. Both had their distinctive smell. So what happened if I distill high grade wood? Surely a gambling position. There is a big chance I lost the wood completely without gaining oil.
Also the complex part in distilling if you use temperature too high you will gain only water with Oudh odor no oil, even you had doing this distillation for 3 whole days non stop, so you need to check up the fire each and everytime. This is what happened in Indonesia mostly distiller are small scale family distiller not humongous distiller like in Thailand or Vietnam or India. They don’t use state of the art technology or correct distilling technique, they satisfied themselves when they gain oil. Since getting oil itself is an ever joy experience.
Oud or gaharu in Indonesia had 17 kinds of species. But people especially traders in Indonesia divide these 17 kinds into 2 major class. The Gaharu so called “real ” oud and Gaharu Buaya so called “2nd grade” oud.
What’s the different between these two anyway?
Well First, let me introduce you to Gaharu or so called as “real” oud.
“Real ” oud are mostly come from Aquilaria Family. These includes The most highly priced now Aquilaria Crassna also known as Cambodi Oud. Aquilaria Malacensis, Aquilaria Beccariana, Aquilaria Fillaria (the Papuan Oud) and so on. These Aquilaria families were highly priced because of there high quality. Defining what is high and and not in oud business is difficult. Since many people strictly depend on their noses and experience. And nose those that aren’t trained enough can be easily to be fooled.
The reason aquilaria class is considered high grade is the highly eudesmol content inside the oil. They say the higher the eudesmol the higher the quality of an oud oil. But to me me this is still vague. What is behind the mystery of these Aquilaria are higly priced?
Some said the middle eastern people seek for oil that will dooze them up with full relaxation after they inhale the vapor. Simply they become very sleepy and wake up with a very relaxing state. And this is from Aquilaria Family.
From chemical aspect oud is very unique substance since it consist 17 kinds of compound. That each had different in these compound even in a single species that live in a different area.
Let’s discus about Gaharu Buaya
For you oud lovers outside my country (Indonesia) mostly didn’t have any clue about these type of Oud. The term “buaya” in gaharu meaning “crocodile“.
The naming of Buaya had their own story.
One version said that the naming came from where these so called gaharu buaya lives. Which is in the bogs or the swamp, that is the habitat of crocodile. Since they are gaharu so people called them as gaharu buaya to differ their jungle counter part.
Other version of this naming Buaya is actually a marking for it’s quality. Buaya in Indonesian culture related to a person that is a womanizer and a big liar. So marking it with this buaya name give it a difference with “real” oud. Well some gaharu buaya is quite disgusting resemble to what we called as minyak nyongnyong (very strong oil that super powerful in it’s oudor that make you wanted to vommit). But some where had agreeable odor close to Aquilaria Class. Like the one I had here Aetoxylon Sympetalum.
The Gaharu Buaya had a lot more species then the Gaharu from Aquilaria Family. That’s another difference. In oud perfumery industry, these gaharu buaya are largely use for mixture with Aquilaria Family to meet the demand of growing market. Since Aquilaria class is very expensive that would not be economic to use these Aquilaria in Industry.
Many of these Gaharu Buaya oil goes to India trough Singapore, there they will be mixed with other oud from Aquillaria Family and sell to middle east. And later on to the Europe and USA.
The point is people don’t let your nose and you experience trick you…..
Since my fellow friend sell several hundred dollars worth of oud for several thousand dollars because of the buyers mistake. My friend tried to explain with his best ways. Even show the guy a lab certificate . But the guy don’t get it. He simply give up in explaining it. Then he put several bottles and let him pick. The guy’s pick is on the wrong one…it only worth several hundreds a liter but he paid it for several thousand…. And when my friend warn him that is not a good one, the guy insist. So they had a deal and my friend is both happy and confuse.
Why this guy pick the wrong one? It was only a Gaharu Buaya….
That’s all folks….
