Firstly, smell the fragrant clouds. When a wisp of green smoke drifts over, we can lean against our noses to suck on its fragrance, quietly inhale it, and gradually taste its rich flavor.
Second. Smell the fragrance. It's about tasting the fragrance around the fragrance box. There is a difference between fragrance and aroma, and we must master this. The fragrance mentioned in the fragrance path is the taste of directly smelling the fragrance cloud floating over, and we can directly sense what the fragrance is like. The fragrance mentioned in Xiangdao is a kind of artistic conception, which refers to the fragrance emitted by the environment around you when you taste it. Because agarwood and premium sandalwood both have different levels of fragrance, tasting fragrance is also a key factor in analyzing whether this fragrance is in place.
Thirdly, savor the fragrance. The person who smells the fragrance leaves their seat and walks around the fragrant room, sighing and infecting the elegant fragrance of the entire space. This fragrance brings you a feeling of fragrance, that is, the artistic conception of fragrance. Let's also sigh and be inspired by the quality of the fragrance's spreading and soaking power. The ability to expand the fragrance of top-quality incense is very strong, with a diffuse and penetrating aroma that can be felt from 10 meters away. However, the taste is different even after one meter, which is what we often refer to as the sense of layering. Frugality means to smell together, sit and smell, walk and smell. The taste is so different, you have to go and taste it.
Fourth, savor the lingering fragrance. After ordering a fragrance, we need to taste the residual fragrance. The residual fragrance is the fragrance left in the space. At this time, the fragrance we smell has changed from before, becoming sweet, serious, cool, or preserving the floral fragrance. The residual fragrance of each type of sandalwood is different. We need to taste the residual fragrance to marvel at the exquisite fragrance bestowed upon us by nature, which is also the intention of tasting fragrance.
Fifth, combination fragrance. That is to say, after lighting a branch of incense, let's proceed to order the second and third branches, and taste them one by one using the method mentioned above, with the intention of comparing the changes between them. Each type of sandalwood produced in different regions has its own aroma, fragrance, flavor, and lingering fragrance. Xiangdao is the repeated analysis of the changes in the taste of fragrant products from different production areas, which is what makes Xiangdao fun and interesting.
