Chinese agarwood is one of the most ancient and mysterious types of agarwood, and it has a deep connection with Chinese culture, art, and philosophy. It is also known as chen xiang in Chinese language, which means “sinking fragrance”.
Chinese agarwood is distinguished by its light hue, flowery smell, and smooth texture in look, aroma, and quality. Chinese agarwood is beautiful and gentle with a light brown or beige hue, floral and herbal aroma that includes notes of rose, jasmine, and mint, and a low oil content. The most well-known Chinese agarwood goods are sculptures, guan yin zhu (prayer beads), jin koh (incense wood), and chen xiang (fragrance oil).
