No matter what we 'distract' you with about the scent of pure resin unaffected by apparatus, there is a universal rule that applies to distillation, and it is this: Agarwood oil is like clay. Whichever way you shape it, that's the shape it's going to take. Or like a mirror. Whatever you reflect in it, that's what you're going to see. It is not like lavender or rose, or other essential oils. Yuzu is yuzu is yuzu is yuzu. Not Oud. Oud is the smell of the apparatus, reflected in the oil. So you know those nice fruity notes you smell? Most often, it is the reflection of the copper tubes in the canvas of the oil. You know those incense notes you can't miss in some oils? It's either the scent of steel (get a steel item from your kitchen and smell it, now) or a combination of the scent of steel with that of the high temperature curves the wood was subjected to while cooking.
In light of this, the scent of Oud Ahmad is undoubtedly the alchemy of subjecting a uniquely resinated Kelantan gaharu tree to the kiss of copper. Remove the sinking-grade resin-laden wood, and substitute high grade tigerwood. You get Oud Ahmad's lookalike cousin, Tigerwood Royale. Throw a few more jungles' wood in and go back in time: you end up with Tigerwood 1995.
(Now find a copper item. Hold it in your hand for a few minutes. Sniff your hand.)
