Terpenes and Chromones: Why Agarwood Scents Vary So Much
A complex recipe
The scent comes from dozens of volatiles in varying ratios—some cool-sweet, some milky-medicinal, some floral or fruity, depending on the terpene/chromone profile.
What shifts it
Species, origin, resin type (alive/dead/insect) and aging all change the ratios. So two "same-name" agarwoods can smell different—normal. Science summary; judge by the actual aroma.
