In Arabian and Islamic culture Agarwood chips are soaked in aromatic oils to make both an incense and a perfume known as bakhoor (or sometimes just oud/h). In India this tradition is blended with Indian incense making to produce Indian style incense styles fragranced with oudh style attars. The result likely to be sweeter, richer, more oil heavy than incense sticks named Agarwood, which are more likely to be woody and drier or more neutral in nature. Popular in China and Japan. When made in India, they are likely from a Hindu incense house.
Oudh incense sticks - likely to be rich, dark, heavy, honey sweet with distinct floral/rose notes for balance. Possibly made by a Muslim incense house.
