Among agarwood from the Xingzhou series, Borneo is considered one of the most premium producing regions. This vast island in Indonesia, covering about three-quarters of Borneo and roughly 15 times the size of Taiwan, is home to only half of Taiwan's population. Its pristine forests are rich, particularly renowned for agarwood. In recent years, due to extreme over-harvesting, the yield of agarwood has drastically decreased, making high-quality Borneo agarwood exceptionally rare and its acquisition a matter of luck.
Borneo agarwood is characterized by its rich, deep agarwood fragrance, often accompanied by a cool sensation, sometimes blending with notes of frankincense or fruity floral aromas. Its profile is mellow and sweet, making it an ideal choice for consumers seeking premium agarwood.

Born in Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1983, with a background in craft design, kwood once wandered the streets of Japan, experiencing how wooden art infused the old alleyways with warm, profound vitality. These objects, like fragments of time, carrying traces of history and outlines of the future, sought a delicate balance between opposition and harmony. This transformed into refined works, closely connecting the vision of a new generation with the simplicity of the old era. Agarwood, once ground into powder for its scent, was traditionally placed in the most honored, sunlit areas of homes in Japan, symbolizing vitality and light.
Sourced directly from its origin, this agarwood is pure and unblemished, free from artificial treatments like boiling glue, drawing lines, or added fragrances. It is presented in its most natural state. Through ancient techniques of scent extraction, the dry wood's outer layer is meticulously peeled by hand, revealing the true soul of the agarwood. This not only imbues it with eternal vitality but also allows tradition and modern craftsmanship to subtly intertwine at the fingertips, creating a feast for the eyes and senses. Its rich aroma, like solidified time, gently connects past memories with future aspirations, allowing them to meet and resonate within the fragrance, continuously extending, distant, and profound.
