Lovely scent and design
The gourd shape is very auspicious and the carving is detailed. The aroma is strong at first but settles into a nice background scent.

Beautiful collectible
I bought this for my study desk. The wood grain is stunning, and the high oil content gives it a lovely sheen without any artificial polish.

Authentic aged wood
You can really feel the age and density of the cypress wood. It feels solid in the hand and the carving lines are very smooth.

Perfect gift for wood lovers
Bought this as a gift for my father who loves wooden crafts. He was thrilled with the texture and the traditional Fu Lu symbolism.

Exquisite craftsmanship and aroma
The detail on this cypress gourd is incredible. You can tell it was carved by a master. The natural scent is very calming and fills the room subtly.

Great quality, slightly smaller than expected
The quality of the wood is top-notch and the smell is wonderful. It is a bit smaller than I imagined from the photos, but still a great piece.
Q: How strong is the aroma?
A: The aroma is natural and pleasant, not overpowering. It is most noticeable when you hold the piece close or in a small enclosed space.
Q: Is the wood treated with any chemicals?
A: No, the cypress wood is entirely natural. The shine comes from its high natural oil content and hand polishing, with no chemical lacquers used.
Q: What does the Gourd symbolize?
A: In Chinese culture, the Gourd (Hu Lu) sounds like 'Fu Lu', representing good fortune and prosperity. It is often kept to attract positive energy.
Q: Does this come with a display stand?
A: No, the item is sold as a standalone hand piece. However, its flat base allows it to sit securely on most surfaces.
Q: Can this be used as a paperweight?
A: Yes, due to the density of the aged cypress wood, it has enough weight to function effectively as a decorative paperweight.
