Honey-scented tree, also known as chitose tree, can't become useful in a hundred years, and its roots are very big. After four or five years of natural or artificial cutting, there will be fragrance, and agarwood will not rot. According to modern parlance, it is called "Qin 'an", and in ancient times it was called "Honey Xiang", which is very appropriate. Qin Anxiang, sweet in fragrance, lingers for a long time.
The distinction between agarwood (Phoebe bournei) and agarwood (Phoebe bournei);
Cylindrical irregular rod, yellow-brown or gray-black surface, densely covered with intermittent brown-black longitudinal stripes, hard and heavy, submerged or semi-submerged, black in color, hard and oily, with strong and lasting aroma, and submerged is preferred.
And this black honey agarwood should be the black lacquer nan recorded in Buddhist scriptures and ancient books. The condition is that "it must be an agarwood for more than 1000 years. After artificial or natural cutting, the fragrance formed in several years is the best in fragrance, and so is Qin 'an.
In terms of distribution, China does not produce honey-scented trees. The main producing areas are southern Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, India and other regions. Further south, the key to the formation lies in the year and growth environment of trees, and whether the fire is sufficient should be represented by black Phoebe (which can't be found in modern times). For red and yellow, it is a good product in nanmu and should be done. It is also the honey fragrance in materia medica.
Because the agarwood is far rarer and more precious than the agarwood, it is normal to be expensive unless it is a hundred years old. Want to buy agarwood, can I go? Is it sweet? Where to? For your reference, all kinds of agarwood are available and the price is not high. There are also physical stores to visit, which is a good choice.
