during the jasmine portion, i appreciate the emphasis on the agricultural labour being performed as highly skilled. too often, we see agricultural labour falsely described as “unskilled labour” as an excuse for starvation wages. these workers often have to endure extreme work conditions and deserve a living wage, same as everyone.

These "they are so expensive because a lot of work and care go into it" series is so satisfying to watch

The sandalwood story is sad one in south India , those who know the real story can relate , the government banned private growers from growing the tree , so the wood became very scarce, this caused the price to rise and the illegal smuggling industry grew . today the illegal industry is so big and dangerous that private growers don't want to risk their lives growing this tree. If you search the net even well protected goverment buildings are not able to protect this tree from smugglers. Recently the government has opened the market for private growers ,but it's too late now . No one want to risk it and security is a problem . So this is how the Indian government killed an entire industry and will drive the tree to extinction.

The lady spent so much time to delicately pick each individual bud and look at the treatment the buds get at the market and the factory.

$80000 for a litre of oud oil is a gross understatement. I own a bottle of 1gm of cultivated (not wild) oud oil which was $130 and this was one of the cheaper offerings of this seller. Priciest wild ones go for around to $5000 for 3 gms.

Why are the same people who claim to be into sustainability and "all natural" so invested in essential oils? It's not "natural" and production is incredibly damaging to the environment. From unsustainable harvesting threatening extinction of species to the amount of heat and water needed for extraction and ending in even more impact from transport there's negatives in every aspect.

I'm surprised the fragrance houses have not gone fully synthetic on ingredients.

This video is very informative because it documents the processes how the essential oils are obtained. It is fascinating. However, I am saddened by the fact that human’s need for self satisfaction and greed as well as a way of finding ways to sustain one’s livelihood may in turn cause the demise of some of these precious trees.

I deeply appreciate info blogs like this. It is both shockingly representative of underappreciated and crucially, remarkable cultures and people, who I am too distant of from the US. These folks are real leaders and keepsaker managers of unique and valuable resource wealth. Thanks for the story and for providing a spotlight for people @BusinessInsider

I've had a bottle of Oud Wood for several years. I rarely wear it because it's such a special scent. It's also rare that people know and understand why a smell is so important or desirable

There is another fragrant flower Shenbagam (tamil) OR champaka which is from the tree of the same name. I don't know whether it is used in scents. Read that they are used in scents of luxury brands like Chanel, Dior etc. There are so many naturally fragrant tropical flowers. Sambangi is one too.
