Frequently Asked Questions
How should I care for my agarwood bracelet?
Keep an agarwood bracelet or pendant dry, clean it gently and store it away from heat and product residue. Brief accidental contact with sweat does not prove that the wood is ruined, but repeated moisture, soaking, soaps, perfume, skin oils and abrasive cleaning can change the surface, finish, cord or aroma.
Daily Agarwood Jewelry Care
- Remove it before showering, swimming or strenuous exercise. This limits prolonged water, chlorine, salt and sweat exposure.
- Wipe after wear. Use a clean, dry, soft cloth. Do not scrub with an abrasive pad.
- Let damp jewelry air-dry. Blot moisture and leave the piece at room temperature with air circulation. Do not use a hair dryer, heater or direct sun.
- Keep cosmetics separate. Apply perfume, lotion, sanitizer or hair products before putting the jewelry on, and allow the product to dry first.
- Store it separately. Use a clean, dry pouch or box so harder jewelry cannot scratch the beads or pendant.
- Inspect the cord. If elastic or thread is frayed, loose or permanently stretched, restring it before the piece breaks.
What to Do After Sweat or Water Contact
Remove the piece, blot it with a soft dry cloth and let it dry naturally. Do not soak it to “rinse the sweat out,” apply household cleaner or force-dry it with heat. If the item has a coating, metal fittings, adhesive or an elastic cord, follow the seller’s material-specific instructions because those components may need different care.
Should You Add Oud Oil to Restore the Scent?
Not by default. Added oil changes the surface and may make future authenticity or condition checks harder. It can also transfer to skin and clothing. Only use a product specifically approved for that piece, and test a very small hidden area first if the maker recommends it.
For sizing and wear, see how to measure wrist circumference. For material checks before purchase, use the real vs. fake agarwood evidence guide. Browse the agarwood bracelet collection only after confirming the product’s material, size and care instructions.

Is my payment secure?
Use only the HTTPS Oudgo checkout and the payment flow displayed for your order. A payment provider may process part of the transaction under its own privacy and security terms; no online payment can be described as risk-free. Before entering information, confirm that the page and any provider handoff are the ones shown from the Oudgo checkout. Oudgo will not ask you to send a full card number, bank password, one-time code or payment-account sign-in by email or an unsecured message. If a payment page or request looks unexpected, stop and contact us through the published site details.
What currency are the prices listed in?
Oudgo prices are shown in U.S. dollars (USD) unless a product page or the final checkout explicitly displays another currency. Review the currency and total shown before authorizing payment. Your card issuer, bank or payment provider may convert the charge or apply its own exchange rate and fees; those terms are controlled by that provider, not by Oudgo. If the currency displayed for your order is unclear, contact us before paying.

We do our best to ensure on-time delivery, but unexpected delays may occur due to customs processing, weather conditions, or high order volumes. If your order is significantly delayed, please reach out to our support team for assistance.How Long Does Agarwood Oil Last? Shelf Life & Storage
There is no universal shelf life for every agarwood or oud oil. Use the date, period-after-opening symbol or storage instructions supplied for your exact bottle when available. Oil composition, dilution, packaging, air, light, heat, moisture and handling can all change how long it remains suitable for its intended use.
Does agarwood oil expire?
Agarwood oil can change or deteriorate over time, but a single “five-year” or “ten-year” rule is not reliable. A pure distillate, a diluted perfume oil and a cosmetic roll-on are different finished products. The manufacturer or seller should determine shelf life for the actual formula and packaging rather than borrowing a number from another oil.
In the United States, the FDA explains that cosmetic shelf life varies with the product, use and storage. Cosmetics are not generally required to print an expiration date, but the manufacturer remains responsible for product safety. This is why bottle-specific information matters more than a universal online estimate.
What shelf-life information should you use?
| Bottle type | Use this information first | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Undiluted oud oil | The seller’s batch, packaging and storage guidance | Distillation, composition, headspace and closure differ between bottles |
| Diluted perfume oil | The expiry or period-after-opening guidance for the finished blend | The carrier, concentration and complete formula affect stability |
| Cosmetic or topical blend | The product label and manufacturer’s directions | Water, applicator contact and other ingredients can change contamination risk |
| Sample or decanted vial | The fill date, source, handling history and storage conditions | A small or frequently opened vial may have more air exposure and less traceability |
How do we recommend storing oud oil?
- Close the cap promptly and tightly after each use to limit air exposure.
- Keep the bottle upright in a cool, dark and dry place with a reasonably stable temperature.
- Protect it from direct sunlight and heat, including hot cars, windowsills and heaters.
- Keep the applicator clean. Avoid touching it to skin or another surface before returning it to the bottle when the packaging allows.
- Do not add water, carrier oil or fragrance to the original bottle unless the product instructions specifically tell you to do so.
- Keep the original label and packaging so the order, product name, volume and any lot or batch reference remain identifiable.
When should you stop using a bottle?
Natural oud aroma may evolve, so age or a subtle scent change alone does not prove spoilage. Stop and ask the seller before further use if you notice a sharp or unexpected odor change, leakage, a damaged closure, visible contamination, or new separation, particles or cloudiness that the product information does not identify as normal. Follow any recall or disposal instruction for the exact batch.
If a product is intended for skin and causes irritation, stop applying it. Do not use an oud oil as a treatment for a health condition unless it is an appropriately regulated product and you have suitable professional guidance.
Does aged oud oil automatically become better?
No. Aging can alter an aroma, but bottle age alone does not prove authenticity, purity, quality or safety. A well-documented recent batch can be a better purchase than an older oil with an unknown formula, storage history or source.
How can we help with an Oudgo bottle?
If you bought the oil from us, send us your order number, product name, bottle volume, any visible lot or batch reference, when it was opened and how it has been stored. We can check the information attached to that item instead of guessing from a generic shelf-life chart.

What types of products does Oudgo offer?
Oudgo offers agarwood chips and wood, incense, essential oils, bracelets and beads, plus incense holders, burners and related accessories. Availability and selectable options can change.

Product-specific purity, material or origin statements apply only when they are shown and supported on that item page.
Where does your agarwood come from?
Origin and source statements are product-specific; Oudgo does not apply one country, species, harvest method or sustainability claim to the entire catalog. Check the exact product page for the origin or material statement attached to that item and option.
