Is Hua Qi Nan an Agarwood The difference between Hua Qi Nan and Agarwood

First, agarwood is not a simple wood, but a combination of wood and oil; Hua Qi Nan is a kind of wood, with agarwood.

The subjects are also different. The second agarwood is the fragrance, the fragrance of agarwood in each origin is also different, there are elegant, there are rich, and there are herbal flavors, the fragrance is bursting for a while, the smell is not pungent, and it will not be said to smell dizzy.

Hua Qinan itself has no fragrance, if there is a fragrance, it is likely that the fragrance was added during the production process. Thirdly, the agarwood grease line is unevenly distributed, the transition between the wood and the grease part is blurred, and no matter how much the grease content is, it is impossible for the whole bead to be pitch black; The texture of Hua Qinan is thicker, and the part without oil line is dark yellow, and the color is more gorgeous. 。

It is recommended to read "Cracking the Mystery of Agarwood Investment Collection" to systematically understand the knowledge of agarwood.

For many novices who are new to agarwood, they will inevitably come into contact with two kinds of fake agarwood, one is called Vietnamese agarwood, and the other is the famous Hua Qinan, commonly known as Sister Hua. Pick up the three to tell you the difference between the two:

First of all, in terms of the roundness of the beads, because both are machine-polished and polished, the beads are almost oval, especially in the case of Vietnamese agarwood, which is very rough at a glance.

Second, from the point of view of quality, the background color of Vietnamese agarwood is lighter and whiter, the oil line is relatively clearer, the oil line varies from one to many, and the trend is relatively uniform and unified; The background color of Hua Qinan is much darker, and the direction of the oil line is not uniform, and it is difficult to find the beads of a single oil line.

Third, in terms of specific gravity, Vietnamese agarwood is relatively lighter, which is closer to the medium-grade agarwood. The wood of Hua Qi Nan is strong and heavy, which is equivalent to the proportion of agarwood of the sinking grade.

Fourth, from the fragrance point of view, the Vietnamese agarwood fragrance is strong, but the taste is very bad, it gives me the feeling that it is like a big trumpet flower (also called mandala flower, poisonous) that I often played in the countryside when I was a child, and I smell a feeling of nausea, dizziness and chest tightness, but it is less green than the big trumpet flower. Hua Qinan's taste is relatively light, and although it doesn't smell nauseous, dizzy, and chest tightness, it doesn't smell very good (it is estimated that it is used to smelling agarwood). There is no change in both flavors, but the Vietnamese agarwood tastes stronger after soaking in water (I really don't want to smell more), and Hua Qinan has not changed much.

Hua Qi Nan is a vine plant that grows in Indonesia and does not belong to the agarwood category.

The difference between Hua Qinan and agarwood is: fragrance and appearance.

1. Fragrance. <>

The fragrance of agarwood itself is emitted by the volatilization of its own oil, and the fragrance of agarwood is bursting, not continuous, and it smells very comfortable and not pungent. The fragrance of agarwood is impossible to imitate and replicate with any spice.

Hua Qinan itself has no fragrance, if there is a fragrance, it may be soaked in essence, the smell of added chemical essence is strong, the smell has been continuous, you can smell it far away, you will feel dizzy and nauseous after smelling it for a long time.

2. Appearance. <>

From the appearance, you can see the texture of the wood and oil blended with each other, the distribution of the oil line is uneven, and the combination of oil and wood can be clearly seen through the details, even if the oil content is rich and it is impossible for the whole bead to be dark.

In the final analysis, Hua Qinan still belongs to wood, the beads are very smooth after being polished, with a translucent luster, the texture looks relatively rough, but it is more rigid, the color is much more gorgeous than agarwood, and the background color is generally yellow.

What is Hua Qi Nan

Hua Qi Nan is a kind of rattan plant that grows in Vietnam, which has a certain economic value, and it grows with oil threads, which look very similar to the oil threads of agarwood after being made into beads. The difference is that there is no fragrance of agarwood. Hua Qinan looks very similar to agarwood in appearance, but Hua Qinan is not agarwood.

There is no clear provision on the national standard, and many timbers on the market are commonly known as Huaqi Nanmu.

Qi Nan agarwood is the best piece of agarwood, Qi Nan is found from the agarwood, it is possible to leave Qi Nan after death, or it is possible to pick part of Qi Nan in the whole piece of agarwood. Qi Nan agarwood is the top grade of agarwood, it is said that if there is a hole in the agarwood wood, it will attract ants to live in it, and the trees will be formed into incense blocks by honey.

The hardness of Qi Nan agarwood is small, and the texture of Qi Nan is relatively soft, and the general hardness is not large. The oiliness is good, the new cut is especially obvious, after the good Qi Nan is cut with a knife, the grease at the section can be pulled out like a silk yam, and if you look closely, there is a shiny grease on the cross-section of the fracture.
