KOHDEN SWEET AGARWOOD
HIGH QUALITY INCENSE OF ANCIENT TRADITION
Un'inimitabile nota legnosa deliziosamente dolce ed intrigante conferita dall'Agarwood della Tailandia.
An inimitable woody, deliciously sweet and intriguing note given by Thai Agarwood.
One of the mysterious ingredients of Japanese incenses, Agarwood has a unique history and a distinctive aroma; but it is also astronomically expensive. It is a precious essential oil extracted by steam distillation of the pathological exudate secreted from a large tree of Southeast Asia that grows over forty metres tall: Aquilaria crassna. As is well-known, it is impossible to recreate its fragrance artificially because the synthesis of its numerous components would make it prohibitively expensive. For centuries its fragrance has remained practically unknown to Westerners. The Japanese call it "Jinkoh" ("Sinking wood") as the resin in it weighs it down to the point that it no longer floats in water. Also due to deforestation, it is by now difficult to find and its harvesting is currently limited almost throughout the Far East. |
