In the pantheon of luxury aromatics, Oud essential oil (distilled from agarwood) stands a class apart.
Optimally, wild agarwood trees should only be harvested when in a fully mature state and nearing the end of their natural life cycle. Older wild trees have fulfilled their primary role in the natural environment and contributed to the replenishment of the species. Unlike the vast majority of other forest resources, the harvesting of mature wild agarwood trees does not require destructive practices such as clear-cutting or burning. Mature trees also offer us the most bountiful harvest of aromatic wood, agarwood that is also of the very best aromatic quality.
Aroma Sublime's commitment to sustainability is evident in our movement toward 100% responsible harvesting of only mature wild trees nearing the end of their natural life cycle. We are now able to commit fully to this, as we have developed more and more relationships over time with skilled, committed wild-harvesters, often lifelong and multigenerational practitioners, who understand and respect responsible wild harvesting practices with an interest in safeguarding immature trees, for a bounty that only comes with patient respect for nature’s course.
Aroma Sublime Stays Strictly Small Scale: a feature, not a bug
Our experience is that both sustainability and aromatic quality can be in confluence: mature trees generally offer a superior aromatic depth, complexity and fullness that is second to none. As such, we can confidently make the choices we do based on both aromatic quality and our broader ethical responsibilities.
