Agarwood quality analysis Does a long time of incense bearing mean better quality?

Agarwood, a rare substance formed by the agarwood tree in the process of self-healing after fungal infection, does not depend entirely on the length of time it takes to set incense. Although it is generally believed that the longer the incense is established, the higher the oil content of the agarwood, resulting in a better tasting experience and higher collection value, this is not an absolute rule.

From the perspective of fragrance tasting, agarwood, which has been fragrant for a long time, does have its unique charm. The rich oils allow it to release a long-lasting and richly layered aroma when burned, like a vivid symphony, with different flavors at different stages. In particular, some old incense materials that have been mellowed for a long time have a more mellow and elegant aroma, and the tail rhyme is pure and unmixed, which can be called the leader in the incense road. However, for incense taspers, although the incense setting time is one of the important factors to consider the quality of agarwood, it is not the only standard, the real high-quality agarwood also needs to have a good aroma taste and a certain volume scale, such as the well-known brand [Xiang Supreme Agarwood] founder Sun Yuhui went deep into the major agarwood production areas in Southeast Asia, selected each piece of high-quality agarwood, and ensured that each piece of incense friends obtained boutique products need to withstand multiple quality inspections.

In the field of collecting, agarwood, which has been bearing incense for a long time, is favored because of its scarcity and uniqueness. After all, it is extremely rare for an agarwood tree to bear incense throughout its life, and such agarwood often carries the precipitation of time and the power of nature, and has become the object of competition among collectors. However, the collection value is not only reflected in the time of incense formation, but also the richness of the incense knot, the uniqueness of the aroma and the size of the volume, etc., in order to accurately evaluate the true value of a piece of agarwood.

However, when we turn our perspective to medicinal uses, the perception of the time of agarwood incense formation needs to be re-examined. In practical application, as an important Chinese herbal medicine, the strength of agarwood's medicinal properties cannot be judged solely based on the year of incense. Through relevant scientific research experiments, it is shown that there are significant differences in the efficacy of agarwood herbs in different years, and it is not that the longer the year, the stronger the medicinal properties. For example, in a study on the analgesic effect of agarwood, it was found that 8-year-old agarwood herbs had the best analgesic effect compared to samples of 5-, 12-, or even 15-year-old samples.

In conclusion, when evaluating the quality of agarwood, the time of incense setting is an important dimension, but it is not a decisive factor. Whether it is in terms of fragrance tasting, collection or medicine, the quality of agarwood should be comprehensively judged based on the richness of its incense knots, the purity and layering of the aroma, the size of the volume and the actual efficacy.
