Agarwood Aroma Chemistry: Sesquiterpenes and Chromones

Two key classes

Analysis shows agarwood’s aroma and activity rest on sesquiterpenes (e.g. agarospirol) and 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromones.

Their roles

Sesquiterpenes give woody, cool-sweet depth; chromones are signature markers tied to resin and origin.

Status

Some lab/animal studies suggest calming, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, but evidence is early. Chemistry varies by resin condition.
