On the one hand, it is a warning that natural agarwood may disappear, and on the other hand, it is a vehicle bucket of agarwood products, and the current situation of the agarwood market makes many incense friends say "I can't understand".
There are more than 200 agarwood bracelets in the live broadcast room, which is far worse than **, saying that agarwood is scarce is not engaged in hunger marketing, right?"Many beginners have come to such a conclusion after searching for agarwood on major platforms. What is the real status quo of the agarwood market?Why is there so much agarwood on the market?
On this issue, we have to look at it separately, the agarwood used at different consumption levels is not the same, the low-end agarwood products are mostly artificial planting materials, this kind of agarwood is a "quick incense" that has a fragrance time of only 3-5 years, its taste is light, there are many miscellaneous rhymes, and there is basically no hierarchy, and the only advantage is that it is cheap. The higher requirements for fragrance in the circle are mostly wild agarwood with natural incense.
This kind of agarwood is the product of the mature agarwood tree after the injury, the oil secreted by the tree when healing the wound and the bacteria in the environment biochemical reaction, after a long time to form what people call agarwood.
The aroma of agarwood is elegant and introverted, rich in layers, since ancient times, it has been valued by people who love incense, ranking first among the four famous incense, but under the use of many years, the agarwood resources in many production areas have tended to be exhausted, and China has long banned the logging of wild agarwood, so now the agarwood on the market is from the first place
The ** of wild agarwood on the market can be roughly divided into the following two types:
Early collector's collection.
The world's incense culture has a long history, and high-grade incense materials such as agarwood have always been people's first choice for collection. As early as when the agarwood harvesting, import and export were not strictly restricted, there were many collectors who stored a large number of materials, including Qi Nan, Bodhisattva chess, Qiong Xiang and other extremely rare raw materials. When the market rises to a certain extent or collectors need to liquidate, these materials will naturally flow into the market again.
Now the reflux material from Japan and the Middle East is the main force of high-end agarwood in China. Middle Eastern countries are big countries with incense, and they are relatively wealthy, they buy agarwood are large-scale, and have hoarded a large number of high-quality raw materials, and the demand for high-end agarwood in the Chinese market has accelerated the return of agarwood in these places.
Southeast Asia and other agarwood distribution centers or places of origin.
Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and other places are traditional agarwood production areas, although the number of resources has been greatly reduced, but there is still new material output, such as Xiang Supreme, this wild agarwood brand is very familiar with the situation in Southeast Asia.
I harvest the material in Southeast Asia for about 1-2 months every year," said Sun Yuhui, the founder of Xiang Supreme Agarwood, "The characteristics of agarwood are very special, and you have to smell it to finally confirm the quality, so I have always done it myself." ”
It can be said that there are Chinese in the world's major agarwood distribution centers, and they will also develop some new agarwood production areas in addition to the classic production areas, which will bring certain benefits to the expansion of the wild agarwood market.
All in all, now high-end agarwood resources are very scarce, **also year after year**, as for a large number of cheap agarwood flooding the market, artificial agarwood and fake materials account for most of it. Before buying agarwood, incense friends should first establish a correct understanding of the agarwood market, and rational choice is the key.
