The "Shen" of "Shen Tan Dragon Musk Deer" often said in ancient times refers to agarwood. Agarwood incense is elegant, and very rare, since ancient times it has been listed as the first of all incense.

Unlike sandalwood, agarwood is not a type of wood, but a solid conglomerate of a special class of incense trees that mixes oleopathic (resin) and woody components.

Buddha beads really. But to recognize the wood material.

Fake! The color is too uniform! Worthless.

The color is uneven, and the paint is artificially baked.

Agarwood appreciation is similar, and the identification of agarwood can pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Look at its shape. The real agarwood is derived from nature, so the texture of each bead will be different, and the natural agarwood is rare because it is rare, most of them are artificially made, which makes it impossible to ensure that each one is exactly the same size, and the artificial agarwood is generally round because it is machined.

2. Smell its fragrance. The taste of agarwood bracelets is natural but not pungent, with a mellow and mellow leisurely feeling, while fake agarwood is because it is added with artificial flavors or other chemicals, and the aroma will have a pure pungent feeling when it enters the nose, which is a very unnatural fragrance. Put agarwood next to your pillow when you sleep at night, if the fragrance is coming in bursts, it may be a fake, and the real agarwood fragrance is generally a continuous aroma.

Don't get too close when smelling agarwood, put it at a distance from your nose, if you can smell it, put it farther away, and smell it farther away.

3. Look at its color. The darker the color of agarwood, the better, different kinds of agarwood have different colors, but whether it is black, yellow or saffron, the darker the color of the Lu Dou faction, the better, and the lighter the worse. But to identify fake agarwood, many fake agarwood are now very dark in color.

4. See if the color fades. Artificial agarwood will fade after wearing it for a long time, and it will stain the wrist, because some fake agarwood is made by applying fuel. The color of real agarwood is natural, and although it will fade after wearing it for a long time, it will not be stained on the arms.

The most direct way is to touch it a few times to see if you can dye some dye on your hands.

5. Feel the texture of agarwood. Good agarwood has a greasy and cold touch to the touch, a natural feeling, while artificial agarwood does not have this feeling.

6. The weight of agarwood. Good agarwood will be heavier because of its high oil content, so you can feel it by hand, but this cannot be unified.

7. Sink or not. Water agarwood is a good level in agarwood products, most of the good agarwood is generally sunken, but now a lot of artificial agarwood is also early to sink water, so sinking can not be used as a standard, generally sinking agarwood is very expensive, if you buy hundreds of pieces of agarwood then you must be fooled.

8. Identification. With the decrease in the number of agarwood, ** is also rising, like some black agarwood bracelets that only sell for a few hundred yuan must be fake.
