More about Aloeswood
The aloeswood tree grows up to 45 meters high and 55 centimeters in diameter. It bears
sweetly-scented, snow-white flowers used to make incense stick. The trees frequently become infected
with a parasite fungus or mold, and begin to produce an aromatic resin, in response to this attack. It is
this precious resinous wood that is treasured around the world. This resin is commonly called Jinko,
Aloeswood, Agarwood, and Oud.
The resin of a tree from a natural fungal attack and immune response is commonly known as agar. An
inferior resin is created by the deliberate wounding of an aloeswood tree; leaving it more susceptible to a
fungal attack by using a forced method.

quality is Kyara, which comes in four types: Green, Iron, Purple, and Black.
