Description

The apotheosis of Agarwood in fragrant and precious sticks.
Superior incense for special occasions. Among the mysterious ingredients of Japanese incense, Agarwood has a unique history, an inimitable aroma, and an astronomical cost. It is an extremely precious essential oil extracted by steam distillation of the pathological exudate secreted by a large Southeast Asian tree over forty meters tall: the Aquilaria crassna. As is well known, it is impossible to recreate its fragrance artificially because the synthesis of its many constituents would be prohibitively expensive. Its scent, for centuries, remained virtually unknown to us Westerners. The Japanese call it " Jinkoh " (" sinking wood") because the resin within it weighs it down to the point where it no longer floats in water. Deforestation has also made it difficult to find, and its harvest is currently limited in almost all of the Far East.
