- Agarwood Chips
Agarwood or aloeswood is a fragrant dark resinous wood used in incense,
perfume, and small carvings. It is formed in the heartwood of aquilaria
trees when they become infected with a type of mould (Phialophora
parasitica). Prior to infection, the heartwood is odourless, relatively
light and pale coloured; however, as the infection progresses, the tree
produces a dark aromatic resin, called aloes or agar, in response to the
attack, which results in a very dense, dark, resin-embedded heartwood.
The resin-embedded wood is valued in Arabic-middle eastern culture for
its distinctive fragrance, and thus is used for incense and perfumes.
The aromatic qualities of agarwood are influenced by the species,
geographic location, its branch, trunk and root origin, length of time
since infection, and methods of harvesting and processing.

powder, just a finer particle, similar consistency to talcum powder. It
is too fine to use in making incense cones,
as they need some space for the oxygen to help with burning and this

or agarwood spent charge, or something to allow oxygen to pass through
when burning or it wont burn to the bottom.
It can be used to roll incense in when making to coat the outside so
that when the incense is lit the sandalwood aroma is still present.
Produces a lot of smoke if burned on its own as described for the other
powders, so we suggest if burning like this to
make sure it is a well ventilated area.
