[17] [18] In Vietnam, ancient texts also refer to the use of agarwood in relation to travelling Buddhist monks. [19] The resinous wood is soaked in water then either separated and used in chips for burning or it is distilled to produce oud oil. The oil is then dried in sunlight to evaporate excess moisture. The production of high-quality oud is a revered skill carried out by dedicated artisans following methods passed down through the generations. Turner, R. L. (Ralph Lilley), Sir (1962–66).

He also mentions that it takes at least 25 years for an aquilaria tree to produce harvestable oud. Firmenich works with a family business that manages over 600,000 Aquilaria trees to extract Aquilaria malaccensis using age-old traditional methods. Hundreds of these trees are over 80 years old, while others range from 5 to 50 years old. What about synthetic oud?
