Why do high-level people wear agarwood during the Chinese New Year?

A piece of agarwood carries the weight of a thousand years.

It was once the pride of the court and the secret treasure of literati.

In his later years, Mr. Dongpo often associated with agarwood and left behind the famous line, "Burning incense leads to a secluded path, sipping tea opens a pure feast.".

It describes the leisurely and elegant atmosphere of using incense while tasting tea and enjoying vegetarian cuisine during a trip to Huzhou.

Wearing agarwood during the Chinese New Year has long gone beyond being ordinary jewelry; it embodies the unique oriental aesthetics of the Chinese people.

Now, New Year's Day has passed, and the New Year is approaching. It's inevitable to toasting.

During the banquet, as tea is served and sipped, a delicate and elegant aroma quietly lingers, compelling the friends and relatives seated at the table to cast sidelong glances in search of its source.

It allows you to not only showcase your unique taste in every action and gesture, but also serves as an auspicious token carrying blessings.

Whether it's for personal use or as a gift for others, it can convey sincere emotions and best wishes.

This natural and elegant fragrance is not only understated, but also a soulful companion on the wrist.

Taking advantage of the New Year, many friends who understand and love incense seek a string of desirable agarwood to ring out the old and ring in the new.

However, when sharing my fragrance selection insights on my official account, I received a lot of feedback from fragrance enthusiasts regarding their experiences with acquiring agarwood:

The primary concern remains "the fear of purchasing counterfeit goods.".

After all, agarwood is expensive, and it would be a great pity to spend money unnecessarily on fake or cultivated agarwood.

With the development of live streaming and short videos, as well as advancements in the cultivation of agarwood and the production of fake agarwood, the agarwood market has become a murky mess.

The market is flooded with fake agarwood oil made from essence, and it is difficult for non-industry insiders or non-professional collectors to distinguish it from the real thing.
