What physical form or scent does agarwood essential oil have? How do you choose agarwood? The agarwood world is a deep pool. Fake agarwood is endless, and I can only do my best to share some knowledge about agarwood so that everyone understands agarwood a little better and smells a little less fake incense.

Characteristics of agarwood essential oil: The scent is intense at first, slightly cool, and complex. But its lingering nature means that over time the scent of agarwood essential oil gradually becomes gentle and elegant, with the wonderful changes of top notes, middle notes, and base notes in agarwood's fragrance, and the aroma is mellow and long-lasting. In the West, essential oils are an important raw material for making perfume. In Eastern countries, they are a necessity for making incense pills and incense cakes. The color is yellow.

Choosing agarwood


1. Look at the color: Experts usually judge the resin content by observing the color of agarwood. Generally speaking, agarwood with a deep color and high gloss is good agarwood.

2. Look at the resin lines: Agarwood secretes resin through "pores", so the finer and denser the resin lines, the better, and this kind of agarwood also has the firmest texture. Both high-quality agarwood and low-quality agarwood have resin lines; this is a characteristic of agarwood. If the resin lines are unclear, or there are no resin lines at all, it is undoubtedly fake agarwood.

3. Look at the origin: Experts also roughly judge its fragrance by examining the origin of the agarwood.
4. Smell the fragrance: Real agarwood has a pleasant scent, long-lasting and fragrant, and it comes and goes, drifting unpredictably.
