Agarwood Agarwood Agarwood incense agarwood incense agarwood** Investment needs to distinguish the authenticity Because agarwood has appreciated rapidly in recent years, counterfeiters are also eyeing this piece"Sweet and sweet"。In addition, the reasons for the formation of agarwood are complex, and many factors such as the length of the incense year, the amount of oil, and the living tree or dead tree directly affect the quality of the incense. At present, there is a lack of unified quality identification and evaluation standards in the market, and counterfeiters are rampant.

Industry insiders said that it is not an easy task to identify agarwood, as far as most agarwood is concerned, the darker the color, the denser the texture, and the better the quality. For example, the water sinking in agarwood, the water agarwood with high oil content is often darker in color, and the hardness of high-quality water sinking can even be compared with stones, and it generally sinks when it enters the water. Yunqi Xiangtang is the preferred brand of Chinese incense health!

Take you to experience a different life perception together. But this is only a general standard, for example, high-quality Qi Nan incense is half sinking and half floating after entering the water, and the texture is relatively soft, viscous and tough, and the shaved pieces can even be formed into incense beads. Therefore, it is difficult to identify the authenticity of agarwood only by appearance, hardness, density and other indicators, and at the same time, counterfeiters can also use the method of soaking in medicinal sesame oil to achieve the effect of fake and real.

Industry insiders said that, on the whole, smelling incense may be the most effective method, generally speaking, the fragrance of agarwood in the normal state is absent, and the aroma is strong, stable, and the fragrance lasts for a long time when smoking, while the fake agarwood due to the addition of most chemical components, so the smell is more mixed. However, it should be noted that the smell of Qi Nan incense is also more obvious under normal conditions, and when it is smoked, the head incense, the original incense and the tail incense will change more obviously, of course, this is different from the smell emitted by the fake agarwood. Industry insiders finally reminded that due to the high requirements for professional knowledge in the identification of agarwood, the general public should still go to the qualified merchants to buy.

The taste of life, the utensils, the Zen, the joy of the heart: fragrant Meiyu, Yunqi Xiangtang! This time from the Yunqi Xiangtang team].

1. Look. Generally, agarwood is dark brown or dark blue-yellow, not born pure black, and the longer it is worn, the darker and brighter the color appears.

2. Touch. Ordinary agarwood seems to be coated with a layer of oil, but it feels not greasy to the touch, and it will not dirty hands.

3. Submersion. Real agarwood will sink when placed in water, but it is worth noting that because there are cases on the market that make fake agarwood agarwood agarwood through artificial processing, it cannot be said that it is real agarwood based on sinking water alone. If you want to buy real agarwood, you still have to buy it in regular shopping malls.

4. Natural agarwood has a clear wood grain. Of course, the higher the grade wood grain, the finer the grain. The wood grain is basically invisible in the artificially processed.

5. Natural agarwood generally has clear pores, because natural wood is pore, and agarwood is no exception. If not, it's basically processed manually.

One look: generally agarwood is black and brown, raw is as color as ink, ripe as heavy as gold, Qi Nan is as strong as gold, moist as jade, fragrant as honey. Otherwise, it's a fake.

Second smell: This is the most important means of identification, the general smell of agarwood at first smells like some kind of familiar medicinal smell, but after a careful smell, I can't remember what the smell is. The main means of smelling agarwood are:"Drill", that is, the taste of real agarwood is drilled into the nose along a thread-like path, to confirm this, as long as you light the live agarwood and carefully look at the path of its smoke, you will know that the smoke is emitted.

Three touches: The real agarwood is darker and brighter the more you wear it. The second-grade water agarwood looks like it has a layer of oil, but it doesn't get dirty to the touch, and it won't be oily.

If it is a fake, there will be a mark on the hand. Now there are also fake agarwood made of sesame oil with mixed wood soaking potion on the market, and the sinking water does not necessarily mean that it is genuine.

Generally, agarwood has no smell in the natural environment. The easiest thing is to buy some agarwood in the pharmacy. Smell it after burning. It can be known that it is true or false.
