“…Agarwood resin is extracted using various solvents. However, for ingredients with non-volatile aromatics composition, the distillation method cannot extract the resin fraction [12]. These substances must use a suitable solvent to extract from frankincense.…”

Today, fixatives from natural raw materials are gradually replacing fixatives synthesized from chemicals. The arm of this research is the study of same useful resin in Vietnam for fixative substance in blending fragrance. We obtained Benzoin resin from Styrax tonkenensis Pierre plant in Ha Giang province, Canarium resin from Canarium Album L. in Dak Nong district, Dak Lak province, and Agarwood pulp of Aquilaria crassna plant in Binh Thuan province Vietnam. The material used in the experiment for the natural fragrance was taken from the project of Vietnam essential oils and related natural products. The method of this process is resin extraction by volatile solvents. The resin is dissolved in alcohol 96% and the distilled alcohol is removed to obtain absolute. The method of assessment of product quality in this study is using the olfactory to assess the odour of samples over time. Benzoin resin, Canarium resin, and Agarwood resin of Vietnam are useful fixatives in blending fragrance. The fixative ability of Benzoin resin absolute is not equal to the ability of Agarwood resin absolute but better than the ability of Canarium resin absolute. Through research and experiment, we can see Benzoin resin, Canarium resin and Agarwood resin are precious. They can be used as a good fixative in aromatherapy. This is a natural resin, a kind of resource available in Vietnam. Therefore, it is recommended for further research, exploitation, and effective use of this resource.

Aquilaria species have been the primary source for agarwood and are distributed eastward from India (Bengal and Assam) to the island of New Guinea and southward from tropical China. Agarwood is dark resinous heartwood that forms in Aquilaria and Gyrinops trees in the plant family Thymelaeaceae. Agarwood has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years, and continues to be used in Ayurvedic, Tibetan and traditional East Asian medicine. High-grade agarwood powder is used for aromatherapy and also used in the production of pharmaceutical tinctures. The number and types of agarwood metabolite constituents of each reported studies vary depending on the agarwood source, extraction methods and analysis approaches used. Agarwood, also known as eaglewood or gaharu, is a valuable non-timber forest product which sometimes grows in Aquilaria species. The genus species occur mainly in South and Southeast Asia. As a result of a defense mechanism to fend off pathogens, Aquilaria species develop agarwood which can be used for incense, perfume, and traditional medicines. The main markets for these products are in South and East Asia and the Middle East. The high prices demanded for agarwood has led to the rapid depletion of Aquilaria trees in natural forests. The search for agarwood has spread from one country to another. Efforts have been undertaken to increase the production of the infected wood by deliberately wounding the trees. A variety of methods is used towards this end. Some recently developed techniques have proven to be most effective. This resulted in planting of Aquilaria trees by small holders as well as large industrial size plantations. In this paper, we shall discuss all the concerns of agarwood for better yield, quality and maximum utilities for humanity as well as the environment safety to enhance the socio economic condition of the Pakistan.
