The institute explained that the sap extracted from the Hwangchil tree has calming and soothing effects on the nerves, which inspired the product name 'Golden Tree', meaning 'a tree that produces golden-colored lacquer'.

The Forest Research Institute plans to file a patent application for the technology used to develop the Hwangchil perfume containing Hwangchil sap, and to promote commercialization through technology transfer to related companies.

Last year, the institute transferred the results of its research on 'technology for developing fragrance compositions containing Saengdal tree essential oil' to a local fragrance company, leading to the launch of a diffuser product. This year, the institute plans to jointly develop cosmetics such as 'serum' with local fragrance companies.

Jung Mi, head of the Welfare and Environment Research Team at Jeonnam Forest Research Institute, said, "We plan to focus on high value-added research, such as developing fragrance materials from Jeonnam's competitively advantageous forest species."
