Red Oil Insect-Carved Agarwood is a natural type and variety of agarwood, belonging to the “insect-carved” category.

It forms when trees are bitten by insects like ants and secrete resin to heal the wounds. Unlike Black Oil agarwood, the resin in Red Oil agarwood has a reddish hue—amber, reddish-brown, or deep brown with red undertones. It looks warm, glossy, and translucent, like the color of aged fine wine.

In terms of scent, Red Oil agarwood is known for being “sweet and mellow.” Its sweetness is more pronounced than that of Black Oil agarwood. The aroma is warm, gentle, and rich, with distinct honey-like and aged notes. It feels substantial and brings a sense of calm and comfort.

High-quality Red Oil agarwood is also rich in resin and can sink in water. It is prized both as a premium material for incense appreciation and for making beads or pendants. Because of its unique color and sweet fragrance, it is deeply loved by agarwood enthusiasts.
