  Thuy Xuan Incense Village dates back to 700 years ago during the Nguyen Family in Central Vietnam. In the past, the village supplied incense to the royal court and locals in the Thuan Hoa - Phu Xuan area. At this time, the incense sticks were produced in only two basic colours, brown and red. Now, thanks to their creativity, Thuy Xuan villagers have incense sticks in a rainbow of colours. When they are placed together, clusters of incenses look like colourful flowers in full bloom. The incense sticks in Thuy Xuan Village are produced in various aromas, such as cinnamon, citronella, jasmine, but it is agar-wood that makes the name for the village.
