Uses in perfumery :

Used to replace or enhance oud wood. Very good substitute for Oud because of its similar smell and its significantly lower price.
Can be used in oriental, woody, chypre or leathery accords.
Odor particularly representative of the new shoes soles.

Other comments :

White Oud is also called ''Gaharu Buaya '', which means ''Crocodile ''.

Aetoxylum sympetalum is often confused with species from Aquilaria genus because of their very similar botanical characteristics. However, it is important to dissociate them to know what is used. Aetoxylum is a very common tree, which grows quickly, easily, and produces, following a treatment similar to that of Aquilaria, a resin with a very strong woody, animal, smoky smell. However, it is important to know that it is considered as a less noble product, less rare, but also much cheaper. It is therefore not uncommon to find Aetoxylum sold under the misleading name of ''Agarwood '', and at golden prices.
