Agarwood and Kyara
Agarwood is harvested only in limited areas of Southeast Asia, mainly Vietnam.
This tree is white, light, and odorless, but over time, the power of nature and the functions of the tree itself create the fragrant agarwood scent that has been cherished since ancient times.
Among agarwood, Kyara was considered the most refined form.
The pure and elegant scent, which differs depending on the tree, has fascinated many people throughout the ages.
