1. Firstly, identify the real agarwood bracelet base on their smell:
The first tip to identify real agarwood bracelet vs fake agarwood bracelet is at the normal temperature. The smell of real agarwood bracelet is always weaker than the smell of the fake agarwood bracelet. You can only smell the sweet, comfort, delicate and gentle of a real bracelet when you keep it close your nose because of natural oud oil scent inside the wood. With a counterfeit agarwood bracelet, you can smell it far from your nose. But it is not sweet and comfort aroma. Normally, it’s a pungent odor. The real oud wood bracelet has eternal fragrance and the fake oud wood smell is reduced day by day. When you use the bracelet for a long time, its smell can reduce. The only thing to do for you is to put it in hot water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then clean agarwood beads by soft cloth, dry it. Their natural agarwood smell will back.
At the high temperature, a real agarwood bracelet has a very aromatic smell. A counterfeit agarwood bracelet doesn’t have an aromatic smell. But the seller won’t let you burn their agarwood beads to identify in a normal way. So how can we do? We use steel wire, heat the edge and reeve into the agarwood bead hole. With this method, you can smell the agarwood beads at a high temperature and don’t affect the appearance of beads. It’s the second tip to identify real agarwood bracelet.

2. Secondly, identify real agarwood bracelet base on beads color.
A real aloeswood bracelet is natural in color to include white wood parts and infected wood parts. They are never in solid color. The fake bracelet is normally in a solid color, especially in black solid color. Because fake aloeswood bracelet is normally injected oil with high pressure, so it’s color is solid. This is the third tip to identify real agarwood bracelet vs fake agarwood bracelet.
