The Artisanal Production of SoulWood Agarwood
Share
SoulWood embodies the pinnacle of luxury incense crafting, utilizing a meticulous, all-natural process that honors the ancient traditions of Chinese incense making. The entire production is committed to purity, using absolutely no synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, or binding agents.
1. Sourcing & Selection: Only the finest, sustainably harvested Aquilaria heartwood (Agarwood) and natural resin are sourced. This precious raw material is the sole foundation of our fragrance.
2. Cleaning & Preparation: The raw wood is meticulously cleaned and sorted by hand to remove any impurities, ensuring only the purest raw material proceeds.
3. Drying & Grinding: The cleaned wood is naturally air-dried to preserve its complex aroma profile. It is then gently ground into a very fine powder using traditional stone mills.
4. Blending & Binding: The agarwood powder is carefully blended with a small amount of pure, natural plant-based binder, such as extracted tragacanth gum or guar gum, and pure water to form a malleable dough.
5. Extrusion & Shaping: The fragrant dough is pressed through a traditional tool to form continuous strands of incense. These strands are hand-rolled to ensure perfect consistency.
6. Natural Drying: The shaped incense sticks are slowly air-dried in a controlled, shaded environment. This slow curing process allows the rich, woody scent to mature and stabilize naturally.
7. Aging & Packaging: Finally, the incense is aged for a period to deepen its aroma before being hand-packed into our elegant, sustainable packaging.
From tree to products, every step of the SoulWood process is designed to deliver an unparalleled, pure, and authentic olfactory experience, connecting the soul to the ancient essence of nature.
