True Ouddict
I thought I'd start a thread on this since it is more or less distinct. Does anyone ever wonder what happens to all of that hydrosol after the precious essential oil is separated after distillation of agarwood? I've seen it here and there on the web offered for sale, and it is usually pretty cheap like most hydrosols tend to be (though there are exceptions for those distilled specifically for the resulting hydrosol and not the oil).
Using rose otto as a reference, the resulting rose water has a nice, mild rosy smell that dissipates rather quickly. It is very nice while it lasts and is refreshing to throw some chilled hydrosol on the face after a shower or on hot days. Sandalwood hydrosol as well. Has anyone purchased oud hydrosol for their personal use? How is the smell?
