N2  - 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.
