Agarwood, also known as agar, aloeswood, or gaharu, is a fragrant dark resinous heartwood that forms in Aquilaria trees when they become infected with a specific type of mold. This resin is highly valued for its aromatic properties and is used in incense, perfumes, and traditional medicine. Due to its rarity and high demand, agarwood is one of the most expensive wood products in the world. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect agarwood-producing trees, as overharvesting has led to significant declines in their populations.
