Description

High-quality Chinese agarwood from the Aquilaria sinensis species, valued for its extraordinary aromatic richness and the deeply enveloping character of its resin. It is a wood with great olfactory power, capable of perfuming an entire room with minimal amounts, and its presence can remain perceptible for several days

Aromatic Evolution

The opening presents a surprising combination of natural sweetness and deep dark woods. As it evolves, characteristic creamy and milky facets appear, difficult to compare with other known aromatic materials, generating a soft, comforting, and almost meditative sensation.
The heart develops a complex, warm, and enveloping resinous profile, with an almost hypnotic sensation that has made Kinam one of the most appreciated woods in the world of incense and contemplation.
The base reveals its most primitive and ancestral character: dark, deep, and mysterious, with an extraordinary persistence that remains for hours or even days in enclosed spaces.
