How to Preserve Agarwood Bracelets for Long-Lasting Quality

Avoid Water Exposure: Do not let it soak in water continuously for a long time, because it will fade the color of the bracelet or seriously damage the beads of the bracelet.

Keep Away from Perfume: Avoid spraying perfume directly on the bracelet or the skin where it is worn, as the agarwood may absorb the perfume's scent, altering its natural agarwood

Avoid Contact with Cosmetics: Do not apply lotions, or cosmetics to the area where the bracelet is worn, as these products can stick to the beads and affect their aroma.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your bracelet away from soap, dishwashing liquid, and detergents to prevent damage to the wood and its fragrance.

Limit Exposure to Sweat: Avoid wearing agarwood when participating in sports activities that cause a lot of sweat, or strenuous labor activities that can cause a lot of sweat or going to the sauna. Too much sweat secreted at one time will have a strong impact, affecting the agarwood beads

Protect from Smoke: Minimize exposure to smoke from grilled food or hot pots, as it can alter the bracelet's fragrance. Recovery of the original scent may take time.

Proper Storage: In case the bracelet is not used much, store the bracelet in a sealed jar (make sure the bracelet is dry, not damp before storing the jar, you can add a desiccant bag)
