How to test the quality of agarwood as incense?

First put it in water to see its oil content, and you can see it at a glance. Judging the place of origin depends on the nose. The agarwood is scraped off and lit, and the fragrance will tell you where it is produced.

Hui Anshen, the fragrance is slightly cool, and I can feel the cool feeling rushing back to my head, which is very refreshing. If it is creamy and sweet, it is tooth fragrance. There are so many kinds of agarwood that there is no need to smell them all. We just need to remember the bright side.

The agarwood of the same origin should also be classified and graded. The appearance of agarwood is different with different soil environment. For example, agarwood produced in Yazhuang has red soil sinking and loess sinking. Red and yellow are caused by soil erosion in the mining area. The quality of red soil is higher than that of loess.

Now you can see many agarwood bracelets and pendants on the market, which are dark in color and very greasy. In fact, it used some people's thoughts. Generally speaking, people who know a little about agarwood will feel that the darker they are, the fatter they are, so the merchants dye the beads black to satisfy people's ideas. When they hold them in their hands, they see that the whole beads are black. Really agarwood, almost tasteless at room temperature, can only be judged by smell when clicked.

Buying a string of real agarwood beads, but you can't smell it, you may be laughed at by people who don't understand it, and it's not very embarrassing, so the merchant adds some spices when cooking the color, so that the black is visually in line with the greasy psychology and smells full of fragrance. People who don't understand will say it smells good. The price target is extremely expensive. When the buyer bought it, he told his friends the price of XXXX, and friends couldn't help sighing and admiring. Moreover, full of fragrance, covered with black grease. People who wear beads also feel that their faces are shiny and have too much face. So this kind of fake thing is popular in the market.

Personally, it is embarrassing to bring a real agarwood bracelet or pendant. Things are so delicate that you don't want to cut them down and burn them to smell them, but you can't smell them without burning them. Aquilaria sinensis will smell when rubbing cloth at high speed, but people take your agarwood and say that it doesn't smell, so you grind it on your clothes and give it to others. It seems a little different. When agarwood is heated by body temperature, it will also give off fragrance, but this is limited to new things. After wearing it for 2 weeks, the surface of things will be covered with pulp and the smell will not come out. Unless your temperature can reach above 65 degrees, you can force the fragrance out.

As a fragrance, agarwood can bring great benefits to people's body and mind. There are also different types of "gods" as incense, such as Huianxiang, which is rich in aroma and refreshing. Very suitable for reading, writing, drinking tea and chatting in daily life (Huian, Kerry Mandan and other varieties belong to this kind of incense); The other is incense when practicing meditation. At this time, a variety with stable aroma is needed. At this time, the role of incense is to help the meditators enter silence (representing the red soil and loess of Yazhuang). Of course, just to experience the fragrance, there is no need to make such a distinction. I bought it at Xiang Supreme.
