How to take care of agarwood bracelets
1. AVOID WEARING THEM NEAR STRONGER SMELLING ITEMS.
The porous nature of agarwood means it absorbs other scents easily. If you were to put a piece with agarwood next to sandalwood, the former will eventually take on the fragrance of the latter. Don’t wear your bracelets during barbecues or hot pot meals.
2. DON’T WEAR THEM DURING SPORTS
Agarwood beads can be easily damaged during vigorous outdoor activities. Save them for more elegant occasions, preferably in air-conditioning so sweat doesn’t get into the beads.
3. MAINTAIN THE SCENT
Precious accessories often need a little maintenance and the same holds true here. It’s best to keep the bracelet in a box containing powder from the same type of tree the beads were made from. This helps to replenish their fragrance, so to speak.
