Agarwood products and agarwood cones in particular are not only known as products used for burning in traditional worship ceremonies but also used to create fragrance.
When burning incense cones, the smoke flows down because the incense contains a large amount of essential oil, which is heavier than air. This amount of essential oil will also spread out with the smoke, creating a pleasant aroma.
If placed on an object called “incense waterfall”, the incense cone will release smoke when burned, the smoke will flow down like a beautiful waterfall. The Thanh Cong incense cone smoke-emitting product of Tran Thi Kim Phuong business household was born from that trend, from that elegant hobby.
According to Ms. Tran Thi Kim Phuong, the raw materials to produce agarwood buds are Aquilaria crassna and Litsea. Aquilaria crassna creates agarwood when exposed to external factors such as storms, natural agents that injure the tree, and the tree is infected with mold, secreting a fragrant resin to counteract the attack.
Over decades, hundreds of years, the wounds of the tree will form agarwood. To create trust with customers and consumers, Ms. Phuong's facility uses completely natural agarwood from the wood of the Aquilaria and Acacia trees grown in the Dai Loc mountainous forest area.
To create agarwood cones, two basic ingredients must be ground and mixed, namely Aquilaria wood and Litsea, to create the natural, characteristic fragrance of agarwood.
According to the process, Thanh Cong agarwood buds are created from the following steps: receiving raw materials (dó bầu, bùi lời), drying, cutting, grinding, mixing, printing buds, drying, packaging, labeling, and selling.
Besides burning incense cones in a smoke waterfall, burning incense cones on ceramic, porcelain or terracotta plates is the simplest and most popular method. However, burning incense cones in a smoke waterfall is considered an elegant hobby of many people.
When burning, the smoke from the incense cone will spread quickly and strongly, retaining the scent for a long time. Consumers tend to use this type of incense to spread the scent in a large space to fumigate houses and offices, and to deodorize very well.
Depending on the preferences and budget of consumers, Ms. Phuong's facility has many different types of incense cone products, meeting consumers' tastes.
There are incense products that have accumulated agarwood for decades, giving different values and scent retention times. In particular, special agarwood cone incense is created from Aquilaria products that have accumulated agarwood for 30 - 35 years, giving a rich scent and the longest lasting scent...
Especially, on important occasions such as Tet and holidays, not only do people use agarwood cones for incense burning, many people also use agarwood cones as gifts with the meaning of bringing luck and peace.
