The Perfumist Lab test
Out of our strong belief in transparency and trust, here is a full lab analysis for our oud oils. The report says it all but in case you are not familiar with oud and its contents the results don’t only show that its natural, pure and consists of some of the rarest and most valuable ingredients that top-grade oud oils have but it also shows that this is one of the most complex and potent oud oils in the world.

Executive Summary
GC/MS/FID analysis of the fragrance oil was performed. The analysis showed that the sample is a mixture of aroma compounds that are consistent with those that would be extracted from a natural plant source. The compounds identified in Table 1 have been labeled according to their source. A dipropylene glycol co-solvent was also identified in the fragrance oil blend. The only compound founds that are not linked to a natural fragrance oil extract are the diethylene phthalate (DEP) and Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), peaks 24 and 61, respectively. These compounds are liquid plasticizers and can leach into a fragrance oil if it is stored in plastic containers.
Introduction
To perform GC/MS/FID analysis on fragrance oil.
Sample Description Summary
A sample of agarwood oil was received for testing.
Test Methods
A 1:20 dilution of sample in methanol is created to be used for the injection. Analysis is performed on an Agilent 7890B GC equipped with a 5977A MSD and a FID detector follows using a 1 μL injection at a 1:20 inlet split ratio onto a DB-5 column (30m x 0.25 mm; 0.25 μm film thickness). Quantitation of all volatile and semi-volatile components is performed using the area of an internal standard, and identification of all compounds is performed using the NIST Library.
Testing, Results and Discussion
Table 1 summarizes the identification and quantitation results of the oil perfume. Figure 1 shows the Total Ion Chromatogram with numbered peaks that correspond to the results summarized in Table 1.
