Fragrant wood is classified according to its place of origin and taste:

The six countries refer to the origin of fragrant wood, namely Galo (Vietnam), Luoguo (Thailand, Laos), Jinnaha (Malacca), Jinnaman (Xima), Kunmendoro (Indonesia) and Zuozengluo (East India, Myanmar). Five flavors refer to the five smells of fragrant wood, namely sweet, sour, pungent, bitter and salty.

Galo is the top grade of agarwood, and its origin is only Vietnam. Unlike Dalbergia odorifera, agarwood is not a kind of wood. Aquilaria log grows in the impenetrable virgin forest and forms resin after trauma. After accumulation, the logs withered and fell to the ground, buried in the soil for hundreds of years, and matured to form a fragrance. The output of agarwood is very small and more expensive than gold.
