As of 2020, one gram of agarwood is about tens to hundreds of yuan, with slight differences from place to place. Generally sold in the agarwood market. The price of agarwood is inconclusive. If it is a collection of handicrafts agarwood, it will be priced according to the needs of both parties. If it is aromatherapy agarwood for health, it is much cheaper. One gram of commonly used 20 yuan is almost enough.

However, the agarwood used for aromatherapy is also expensive, such as a few hundred yuan per gram, but it will be less. Another factor related to the price of agarwood is the origin and oil content. Hainan is the most expensive, followed by Hong Kong, Guangdong, Vietnam, Indonesia and so on.

The quality does not depend on the place of origin, but under the same conditions, Hainan agarwood is much better than other places of origin. This is why Hainan agarwood is called the king of incense.

Hainan agarwood commonly used in the market now belongs to artificial cultivation. Even better, people make incense and collect it for many years.

The worst is the kind planted artificially but perfumed with drugs, which greatly shortens the perfuming time, but the quality is not good, even a little poor.
