We have a lot of new members and they may not be aware of the situations regarding endangered and threatened aromatic sources. Thanks Anya, have passed your thanks on to Tony. To those who might be interested, have just updated the website with a new feature re EU & Peru Balsam - those poor EU legislators seem to be a bit confused!

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I'm not sure that Agarwood would grow well in the US, as all of it's native habitats are very tropical... Of course, i've never been to florida, who knows if it would work well there... You could try Ham Firl, on Ebay, or his website: http://www.qt-store.com/servlet/StoreFront I just received some of his Sweet Burmese OUD/Agarwood oil, that seems pretty good... USD $30/ml Agarwood/Oud/Gaharu/Arar tree -- goes by a few names... can be heavily adulterated, so look for reputable sources. Ham Firl is one. I think I remember someone buying good stuff from a reputable seller in NYC, whose name escapes me. Don't forget that an attar is a mixture, and not a pure EO. When you were sitting down, did you see the Oriscent site? http://www.oriscent.com/ :-) Kiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Anya could chime in with that, although so many tropical plants and trees thrive in South Florida, I dont see why not. I'm certain that they would do really well in Hawaii, and for sure Puerto Rico. Recent Activity 7 New Members 5 New PhotosVisit Your Group Health Early Detection Know the symptoms of breast cancer.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 >>>is it possible for this to grow in the U.S.? I know the japanese grow a lot of gingko in south carolina as this area is sub tropical. My daughter shared this with me after she left for south korea.........little stink......i would have loved fresh gingko to make serums etc with..<<< Evie, Aloeswood is truly a gift of the gods, nothing else is like it. You can get cultivated aloeswood resin from Scented Mountain in Minnesota. http://www.scentedmountain.com/ It is a light but true scent, expensive but it is good to support this work.

Totally different plants. Oud isn't made from 'ginkgo', but 'jinkou' which is the Japanese word for agarwood. Alfred Wearing oud in San Francisco, where today the ginkgo trees are arrayed in their astonishingly beautiful late autumn bright yellow foliage - it's still falling.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 i understood the difference. I was just ready to strangle my kid when she told me......and she lived not far from where GINKO was grown.....odd as they are a major supplier of Ginko and here it is in the U.S. . I would think Arkansa would be a good place to grow things....humid, sub tropical and things grow there that are grown in the topics....I used to live there, my mom has property out in the boonies.....i should go in the spring to see whats growing there.....besides ticks.....ew. i know some people grow banana trees, pull them up near winter and plunk them back in the spring....as of yet none has born fruit tho i think a green house would enable that. e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Yes there is a family by the name Attarwala that is famouse for their manufacturing Ittr. Ittr is what they say in India , Attar is what they say in the Middle East. But remember Ittr in Indian can either be synthetic based or Sandalwood based depending on the manufacturer. In the Middle East Attar is used for anything that is applied and smells good. Here is a small explanation done by from White Lotus about Indian Ittr: http://www.whitelotusaromatics.com/prices/attartext.html > > Thanks Simon, > > > > Your explication simply added to my confusion of linguistic > > non-specificity usage.
