1、芽庄奇楠:清甜的花果香气加上甜凉的薄荷香,是现代人最爱的奇楠香味。奇楠以越南芽庄产最为经典,特别是那劲透凉意,从鼻腔而入直冲脑门,让内心瞬时清明。
2、芽庄沉香:芽庄的沉香是沉香中的上乘品,带有类似奇楠的淡淡甜凉之意,只不过甜气更多一些,犹如山中清泉,甘美入心。
3、富森红土:土沉中的佼佼者,尤其是富森地区所产,是有着能够比肩奇楠的珍贵沉香品种,品香,一定不能错过。富森红土是沉香中少有的具有香气变化的沉香,气韵先抑后扬,爆发后清远通透,层次变化婉转流畅,犹如林中仙子,充满灵性,让人怡然、舒适。
4、惠安沉香:惠安沉香中散发着淡淡的药香,微苦却不难闻,很好地平衡了香中的甜味,初闻不算惊艳,但却虽能抚慰人心,带来宁静致远的幽雅香气。
5、柬埔寨菩萨沉香:品香、收藏的必选。柬埔寨菩萨沉香比越南名区沉香更为难得,但和奇楠一样,只要闻过,便深印脑海,不能忘记。菩萨沉香最特别的是那混着花香和蜜香的香甜气,香、醇、浓却不过分,百闻不腻。
6、文莱沉香:星洲系沉香中的精品,味好,样也好。文莱沉香有着类似越南沉香的甜雅香气,没有星洲沉香中常见的杂味,而深邃的结香色泽加上坚硬的香质,弥补了惠安系沉香难出把玩制品的遗憾,品香、赏玩可两全其美。
7、马来沉香:想一品奶香味道的沉香可以选择东马沉香,浓浓的奶香甜气让人想不到是植物香料散发出来的,十分有特色。另外,马来沉香也很适合制作珠串把件等工艺品,是沉香中少有的兼顾香气与质地的品种。
8、加里曼丹沉香:印尼沉香中的代表,花甜香气是印尼,或者说星洲沉香中普遍具备的特征,且纯粹、杂味少,是认识星洲沉香的好开端。
9、达拉干沉香:达拉干沉香是星洲沉香中的异类,它有着星洲沉香少见的甜凉气韵,当甜与凉十分浓重时不禁让人想到奇楠,所以达拉干沉香在业内又有着“小奇楠”的称呼
10、海南沉香:海南沉香的香气之美不用多述,前人已经赞美不绝,单“冠绝天下”的赞誉就已足够,只是现在很难遇到天然野生的海南沉香,更不用说上等品级,有幸遇到,不可错过。
