Identify Real or Fake Agarwood?
Agarwood – a unique and rare natural product – is increasingly sought after for its exceptional qualities and uses. However, because of its high value, the agarwood market has become highly competitive, with numerous counterfeit products designed to mislead consumers. Various types of artificial and low-grade agarwood oils have appeared on the market. Therefore, for anyone interested in agarwood products, it’s essential to know how to identify fake agarwood to avoid purchasing poor-quality items.
Here are 4 practical ways to distinguish between real and fake agarwood. Let’s explore them together:
1. Natural Agarwood
Natural agarwood forms when an Aquilaria tree is naturally injured and secretes resin to heal itself. This resin alters the wood’s structure, color, and scent. True natural agarwood has a high oil content, making it heavy and dense. It typically features clear grain lines and a moderately dark color. Its scent is gentle, spreads well in the air, and has a long-lasting presence.
Because of its soft texture, natural agarwood is difficult to process in large quantities. As a result, it is extremely rare and highly valuable. Authentic wild agarwood often sells for a premium price.
2. Artificial Agarwood
Due to the rarity and high cost of wild agarwood, most agarwood products available on the market today are artificially cultivated. Artificial agarwood is produced by planting Aquilaria trees and later drilling or inoculating them to stimulate resin formation. This process typically begins when the tree is 10–20 years old and takes another 5 years to develop oud.
However, not all trees respond successfully to this method, and the success rate remains low. Even so, artificial agarwood is still considered valuable. While it may not have the same rich fragrance as natural oud, it does carry a mild, pleasant scent.
🌳 Visual Inspection (With the Naked Eye)
Real agarwood oil is valued not just for its fragrance but also for its appearance and physical characteristics. It feels heavier in the hand, has a natural dark brown color, and is not overly glossy. The more visible the oil lines and grain veins, the higher the resin content.
In contrast, fake agarwood is usually made by soaking other types of wood in chemicals or fragrances. It tends to be overly dark or even black in color, often due to artificial coloring. It looks shiny and polished, but lacks visible oil veins. It also feels lighter and less dense than real agarwood.
🌳🌳 Smell Test
Another way to identify authentic agarwood is by its scent. Real agarwood emits a light, delicate fragrance. It’s not overpowering, but it lingers pleasantly and naturally for a long time.
Counterfeit agarwood often smells like perfume or chemicals and may be unpleasant. These scents tend to be strong initially, especially before the wood is heated, because they are infused with synthetic oils or chemical additives.
🌳🌳🌳 Burning Test
You can also test agarwood by burning a small piece. Real agarwood, when burned directly, produces a mild aroma with minimal smoke. The scent is soothing and clean.
Fake agarwood, on the other hand, tends to produce thick, harsh smoke and a strong, unpleasant chemical odor when burned. It may even cause eye irritation or difficulty breathing due to the chemicals used in its treatment.
Nowadays, fake agarwood is becoming more difficult to identify, as many counterfeit products are crafted to look impressively authentic. That’s why it’s important to buy from trusted and reputable suppliers.
