Abstract
The intangible heritage of making fine use of agarwood is a story of exceptional refinement, concerning arts and (syn-) aesthetic sensitivity, as well as a story of valuing and employing nature, commercialisation, and of the search for identity within the multicultural entanglements of Asia. Its continuation presents a challenge in business, scientific and cultural regards.
CONTENTS: I. Portrayal of the aromatic material – II. Early perfumery arts and exotic stimuli – III. Supraregional contacts, literati societies, and a refined perfumery – IV. Ritualised forms of incense appreciation – V. Reinvention of Asian perfumery arts and new identities.
