kind of wood from which perfume is made
棻 refers to a specific aromatic wood used in perfume making. Its meaning is narrow and concrete, centered on this fragrant material.
棻 combines 芬 (fragrance) with 木 (tree/wood), suggesting a fragrant wood. The exact historical development is uncertain, but the component relationship is clear.
The top part 芬 suggests fragrance, and the bottom 木 is a tree. Picture a tree whose wood gives off a sweet perfume scent.
For フン, imagine the fun of discovering a new perfume made from this rare wood: fun -> フン, and the scent is delightful.
