Agarwood contains a distinctive resin produced by a number of tree species from the genus Aquilaria, especially A. malaccensis. This resin is used in the fragrance industry (perfume and incense) because of its sweet smell. Agarwood since the beginning of the modern era (2,000 years ago) has become a trade commodity from the Indonesian archipelago to China, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Persia, Arabia and East Africa. It takes tens to hundreds of years to form agarwood. In addition, in the natural environment, only a small number of gaharu trees produce agarwood. Therefore, agarwood is classified as rare and valuable. and usually people say “GOLDEN WOOD” and “COLOR FROM HEAVEN”. The number one and well-known quality is agarwood from Kalimantan “INDONESIA”.
