For centuries, hunters and adventurers have roamed the jungles of Cambodia, northern India, Borneo, and China in search of black gold—oud—a dark resin that forms deep within the wood of the agarwood tree (Aquilaria). Valued for its sensual and animalistic woodiness, oud has long been cherished and consumed in all its forms on the Arabian Peninsula—whether as oil for wearing, wood for burning as incense to scent their garments and homes, or simply to display large pieces of the most coveted variety, Kyara, in their homes as symbols of their wealth. The Japanese also value Kyara and agarwood for use in their incense ceremonies, known as Kōdō.
