An Agarwood

Hello everyone, I’m Tran Bac from Vietnam. In 2013, I started working with oud and the more I got involved with it, the more I fell in love with it and realized that it was something I wanted to pursue.

An Agarwood founded by me, where I offer carefully selected agarwood ( oud) products. It is also a platform where I introduce the oudl oils that I personally distill. I choose the path of artisanal distillation because I find it suitable for me. I have spent many years living and working in Ho Chi Minh City. After the COVID pandemic, I decided to leave the urban area and return to a remote countryside to focus on distilling oud oils. The location of my distillery is approximately 100km away from Nha Trang city. This place has forests, mountains, and, beautiful streams with excellent water quality. For me, water is crucial in the process of making oud oils.

In Vietnam, the agarwood business is is highly chaotic and disorganized, with many people chasing after quick profits. This has led to a decline in the preservation of oud in our nation. Most of the precious oud and kynam rare from my country are found in other countries such as China, Japan, and Taiwan… I have always pondered over this situation!

An Agarwood is a reputable place where you can choose from a selection of excellent oud products.
