Kynam Agarwood

Our Rarest and Highest Quality Kynam Collection

What is Kynam Wood and Agarwood?

Agarwood, also known as ‘gaharu,’ is a rare and highly prized resinous wood formed in Aquilaria trees as a response to fungal infection. Treasured for its rich fragrance and medicinal properties, agarwood has been a symbol of opulence and cultural significance for centuries. Widely used in spiritual practices, traditional medicine, and luxury products, it remains an integral part of many cultures, particularly in Southeast Asia.

The rarest and most valuable type of agarwood is Kynam wood, celebrated for its unparalleled aromatic profile and exceptional quality. Often referred to as the "diamond" of agarwood, Kynam commands premium prices, making it a symbol of exclusivity and luxury. Its scarcity has further cemented its status as one of the most sought-after natural materials in the world

The global agarwood industry is valued at over USD 6 billion annually, driven by its applications in perfumery, cosmetics, incense, and traditional medicine. High-end oud perfumes and therapeutic uses, particularly in Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Unani medicine, have made agarwood an essential component in luxury and wellness markets. With the rarity of naturally occurring agarwood, sustainable plantation management and responsible harvesting practices are becoming critical. These efforts not only ensure the conservation of this valuable resource but also support the industry’s long-term growth and stability. Agarwood’s unique cultural, economic, and ecological significance continues to captivate collectors, investors, and industry leaders worldwide, reinforcing its status as one of nature’s most treasured commodities.

Properties of Kynam Wood

Texture and Appearance

Texture: Kynam wood is known for its smooth yet dense texture, which sets it apart from other agarwood types.

Color: It features a dark, green and sometimes white color interspersed with golden streaks, indicative of its high resin content.

Fragrance Profile
Kynam emits a unique and complex aroma, described as sweet, floral, and woody with a hint of spice. The fragrance is long-lasting and becomes more refined with age.

Rarity and Quality

Rarity: Kynam wood is found only in specific regions, often in limited quantities, making it a prized possession for collectors and connoisseurs.

Quality: Its quality is assessed based on resin content, density, and aroma. Higher content of resin compound for example sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenoids, where by these resin content correlates with superior quality. Based on the UMP Centre for Bio Aromatic Research, the quality metric of the Agarwood correlates to sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenoids. Higher score content on sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenoids indicates higher quality Agarwood. The details on the methodology on quality of Agarwood will be described further in the report.

Kynam Wood Usecases

Contrary to standard agarwood, Kynam wood, also known as Kyara, primarily caters to niche markets due to its unparalleled quality and rarity. While both are derived from Aquilaria trees, Kynam is exceptionally prized for its superior aromatic profile and unique properties. Among its applications, Kynam is highly valued in traditional medicine, particularly within the Chinese community, where its compounds are extracted for specific treatments. This includes its use in herbal remedies for calming effects, anti-inflammatory benefits, and other therapeutic purposes. However, its primary demand remains in high-end perfumery, ceremonial incense, and luxury collectibles, reflecting its status as the most exclusive grade of agarwood.

Standard agarwood, on the other hand, serves broader markets and is predominantly utilized in the production of fragrances, incense, and essential oils. It is also a key ingredient in various traditional medicinal practices, including Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Unani systems, known for addressing ailments such as stress, respiratory conditions, and digestive issues. While its medicinal uses are notable, the primary driver of demand for standard agarwood comes from its role in the perfumery and luxury fragrance industry.
