Beginners often ask, "What does agarwood actually smell like?" It's hard to answer, because the aroma of good agarwood iscomplex and ever-changing, not a single scent.
Natural agarwood, from the first smell to heating and to the tail note, its aromachanges through the top, middle, and base notes. Fake products made with fragrance oils smell the same from start to finish—sharp and unchanging.
Compare more, act less on impulse. With the same batch of material, smell it at rest, smell it heated, and smell it the next day to build your own reference. Once you've smelled enough, fakes are exposed at first sniff.
