  If you are not sure about what is oud wood or agarwood, you can read the post about what is agarwood here.

  Soil oud agarwood is one special type of natural agarwood oud. As the name meaning, the soil agarwood is agarwood that found underground. They are dead agarwood trees, agarwood branches or agarwood pieces underground, in streams or rivers for a long time. We say “for a long time” because nowadays, some oud agarwood sellers put their fresh agarwood material underground for 1-2 years and sell as soil oud agarwood. But the quality of this agarwood is completely different.

  How to find the soil oud agarwood?

  Agarwood hunters in Vietnam often find soil agarwood by digging the root of dead agarwood trees. Sometimes they see a part of dead agarwood branch appearance after mudslides. Then they dig around and collect soil oud pieces.

  The age of the soil oud agarwood.

  It’s difficult to know the age of these soil agarwood pieces, maybe several decades, maybe hundreds of years. But soil agarwood oud is not underground for 1-2 years only. We will talk about differences between fresh agarwood and soil agarwood at “quality of soil agarwood”. Someone also asks me if the hundreds of ages agarwood pieces are Kinam oud. I said that Kinam oud is very different from agarwood.

  Because of lie underground, so soil oud pieces have the same color with soils around. In Vietnam, almost soil ouds have a red color outside because of agarwood trees often grow up in basalt red soil areas. Sometimes, we also see the soil oud in black color.

About oud oil density inside, it’s full of oil. Because they are underground and water for a long time, so almost wood parts (only wood, not contain oil) are destroyed naturally by the time. You can see high agarwood resin inside almost soil agarwood pieces.
