OudLink hydro-distills oud oil at our Maoming facility from our own Aquilaria sinensis plantations — premium, standard, and commercial grades, aged on-site for between 6 and 36 months depending on tier. Oil is shipped under CITES export permit with Certificate of Analysis on request, in 5 ml / 10 ml / 20 ml glass vials with tamper-evident seals. MOQ from 5 ml premium / 20 ml commercial.
Distillation method
Hydro-distillation — wood is soaked, heated in copper-alloy stills, condensed, and separated. Slow extraction at controlled temperature preserves the volatile sesquiterpenes that define quality oud. Premium oils are double-distilled and aged in glass for extended periods before bottling. We do not blend with carrier oils unless explicitly requested for a custom order.
