Agarwood Aroma Chemistry: Sesquiterpenes and Chromones
Two key classes
Analysis shows agarwood’s aroma and activity rest on sesquiterpenes (e.g. agarospirol) and 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromones.
Their roles
Sesquiterpenes give woody, cool-sweet depth; chromones are signature markers tied to resin and origin.
Status
Some lab/animal studies suggest calming, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, but evidence is early. Chemistry varies by resin condition.
