About this material
Agarwood SUB is a beautiful substitute for Agarwood (Oud) capturing its deep, complex and resinous aroma.
Without the rare and expensive origin of natural Agarwood, this substitute is an ideal cost effective alternative that mimics the natural Oud’s smoky, woody, balsamic richness with nuances of spice, leather, and sweetness.

Fragrance allergen reference
Generic regulatory reference only. This is not a supplier allergen declaration, measured composition, allergen-free claim or finished-product labelling assessment.
Raw-material reference based on recorded CAS numbers. A CAS match identifies a reference entry; it does not verify the supplied grade, composition, purity or finished-product compliance. Naturals, bases and mixtures require composition review.
European Union / Northern Ireland
No direct listed-entry CAS match in this jurisdiction’s held reference set. This does not mean the material is allergen-free. Constituents, grouped entries and natural-material composition may require further review.
Finished-cosmetic declaration thresholds: greater than 0.001% leave-on; greater than 0.01% rinse-off. Apply the current target-market rules to the actual complete formulation; no concentration is inferred here.

Documentation Supply PolicyIFRA formulation guide
Generic reference only — not an IFRA certificate, compliance decision or use recommendation. The Responsible Person and qualified safety assessor must assess the actual finished formula using current applicable IFRA Standards, supplementary documentation where available and the CPSR.
Raw-material reference based on recorded CAS numbers. A CAS match identifies a reference entry; it does not verify the supplied grade, composition, purity or finished-product compliance. Naturals, bases and mixtures require composition review.
Source: 51st Amendment overview, held source checked 2026-10-21. Bundle 2026-10-27. Individual Standards prevail over the overview.
No direct IFRA overview entry matched the recorded CAS in this held dataset. This does not mean unrestricted use, absence of relevant Standards or compliance. Constituent restrictions may still apply.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Smoke and petals
With rose and a clear floral accordExplore a smoky rose sketch by setting the listed smoke character beside a familiar flower. Compare it with the rose alone, deciding whether the accent suggests a distant atmosphere, a charred edge or too much darkness.
Timber and embers
With sandalwood and dry wood directionsBuild a wood-focused study with the smoky material as the changing element. Compare a smooth wood setting with a drier one and keep notes on the difference between a recognisable timber impression and an abstract smoke effect.
A bright interruption
With bergamot and an aromatic openingTry citrus brightness as a deliberate contrast to the smoky direction. Compare a matching version without the citrus, then judge whether the opening creates a useful transition into smoke or belongs to a different composition.
