Those not familiar with Soil or Buried Agarwood’s - when a tree naturally dies in a forest, it eventually decays and breaks down. The wood fibres wear away, but what is left behind is resin and oil-rich wood that doesn't break down so easily. Trees that don't get buried have a distinctive Odor profile - they are sweet and refined. These dead "above ground" trees produce "Agarwood Deadwood" chips.
Scent Profile: Really Nice Soft creamy, floral milky and sweet earthy taste aroma. Sometimes comes sweet fruity smell.
Even more rarely, when a tree dies, it may get buried beneath a particular type of soil - imparting the unique flavour profile of that particular Terroir. This rare type of Agarwood is known as Soil or Buried Agarwood.
This Red soil Oud Chips is best heated gently on low heat on an electric heater. Soil woods tend to be more temperature sensitive than "live tree" woods - as they don't have the wood fibres present to retard the heat. As such - this is a delicate powder best enjoyed Kodo-style or can used Subtism Heater.
