These sticks are described as being Hainan Agarwood (in English it just says Agarwood, but 海南 is marked on the box, which is tradition Chinese for Hainan). Hainan, an island province just off the south of China, has been focusing on the agarwood market, and has been using modern methods of speeding up the production of incense resin in the heart of the Aquilaria tree. Bought off Temu for 99p for 5g. I've also seen these on Shein and AliExpress for around the same price.
The scent here is pleasant, but I'm burning these after the regular Fujian Incense Agarwood by the same company, and finding these a little flat and ordinary in comparison. There's a sort of mild woody scent, closer to cedarwood than agarwood. Some tea, some spice, a faint hint of caramel - a little bit of candy sugar. It's certainly very attractive, but it hasn't impressed me as much as the regular Agarwood.
