Why Agarwood Is So Expensive: Three Scarcity Facts

First, low odds: not every tree resins, wild natural resin is rarer; second, long cycle: years from wound to usable; third, limited compliant supply: protected species and trade controls cap legal sources. Together they raise price.

Be rational

Expensive ≠ appreciating ≠ a good investment. Enjoy it as culture and scent; that’s safer than chasing price. Not investment advice.
