Out of all our five senses, it’s perhaps smell that has the best memory! It’s our most primitive sense, closest to the emotional brain.
Since archaic times, the smell of Agarwood has been renowned for its ‘divine aroma’. Agarwood belongs to the evergreen tropical family of ‘Aquilaria trees’, native to Southeast Asia. This distinctive wood—characterized by its dark, woody, resinous composition—is hailed for its ‘mystical’ and ‘psychoactive’ properties. Perhaps it’s for this reason that all the major spiritual traditions of the world, and even the ancient medicinal systems revere it for its therapeutic and almost ‘life-giving’ characteristics.
