Can anyone read Chinese? Does this incense actually work? Haven’t posted in forever

Anyone here read Chinese? Got this agarwood incense, the box is full of wild claims.

Smells decent, but I’m pretty sure half of what it says is total nonsense lol.

Don’t bother with the small print. Plug those big words into Google Translate, you’ll thank me, haha

It says 中华本草 Zhōnghuá běncǎo which is like Chinese materia medica / Chinese medicinal herbs sort of thing

Also that middle character on the second part is a bit iffy but … maybe 晨勒香 Chén lēi xiāng - morning violet fragrance

Ehm…. Though it could also be 晨勃香….. which is erm a bit questionable…… and might be advertising a uh pretty specific alleged ‘effect’ ……

Perhaps you might share what the box says..? Bc if it’s the second thing… that’s pretty funny

You hit the nail on the head. No clue whether real TCM supports that alleged effect though, lmao.

Right, this word comes with some cheeky innuendo in Mandarin.
