What is Agarwood Flat Oud Vietnam?
Flat Oud Vietnam is a premium form of agarwood, also known as oud, that is sliced into ultra-thin sheets—typically between 0.7 and 0.9 mm thick. These sheets are crafted from the heartwood of mature Aquilaria crassna trees, which have developed rich resin deposits over decades. The result is a product that not only looks stunning, with its intricate resin patterns and deep, natural hues, but also delivers a fragrance experience that is both intense and nuanced.
Unlike traditional agarwood chips, Flat Oud’s increased surface area allows for a more immediate and even release of aroma when heated. This makes it ideal for both quick daily rituals and extended incense ceremonies.
The Art of Crafting Flat Oud
The journey from tree to Flat Oud sheet is a testament to Vietnamese craftsmanship. After careful selection, the bark is removed to reveal the resin-rich heartwood. Skilled artisans then slice the wood into uniform sheets, ensuring each piece retains its natural resin veins. The sheets are sun-dried for several weeks, allowing the aroma to mature and the wood to stabilize. This meticulous process preserves the essential oils and ensures that every sheet of Flat Oud Vietnam is a work of art in itself.
Flat Oud is graded based on resin content, color, and aroma. The highest grades, such as 4A, are prized for their jet-black appearance and sweet, complex scent profile, while lower grades offer a more accessible entry point for those new to agarwood appreciation.
Fragrance Profile: A Journey of the Senses
When gently heated, Flat Oud Vietnam reveals a multi-layered fragrance journey:
- Opening notes: Sweet wild honey and ripe fruit, with a hint of floral freshness.
- Heart notes: Earthy vetiver, warm spices, and subtle hints of clove and cinnamon.
- Base notes: Creamy sandalwood, amber, and a lingering, resinous depth that fills the room.
This evolving aroma makes Flat Oud Vietnam perfect for meditation, relaxation, or simply creating a welcoming, luxurious atmosphere in your home.
How to Enjoy Flat Oud Vietnam
To fully appreciate the beauty and fragrance of Flat Oud, it’s important to use the right accessories and techniques. Here are some recommended methods:
Electric Incense Burner
For precise temperature control and ease of use, an Electric Incense Burner is ideal. Set the burner to a moderate temperature (around 140–150°C) and place a sheet of Flat Oud on the heating plate. The gentle heat will release the full spectrum of aromas without burning the wood, allowing you to enjoy the fragrance for up to an hour.
Charcoal Incense Burner
For a more traditional experience, use a Charcoal Incense Burner. Light a piece of natural charcoal and let it become fully ashed over. Place the charcoal in a Ceramic Incense Holder or Brass Incense Holder for safety and heat resistance. Then, lay a sheet of Flat Oud on top. The indirect heat will gently coax out the resin’s aroma, creating a rich, immersive scent.
Incense Holders: Enhance Your Ritual
The choice of incense holder can elevate your experience. Ceramic Incense Holders offer a classic, artistic touch and excellent heat insulation. Wooden Incense Holders bring a natural, earthy feel, while Brass Incense Holders add a sense of luxury and tradition. Each type complements the beauty of Flat Oud Vietnam and helps create a safe, enjoyable burning environment.
