Vietnam 2017
Top Notes: Green forest, mint nuance, bitter almond
Middle Notes: Honey, soft musk, cool resinous woods
Base Notes: Vintage mahogany, smooth agarwood resin, dry woods
Produced from a high grade double-selected extraction, this wild Vietnamese oud is a remarkable expression of Vietnam’s legendary agarwood tradition, offering a profile that feels both deeply refined and profoundly natural. Vietnam has long held an almost mythical status within the oud world, particularly for its association with the revered Kyara style, and this oil carries echoes of that elegance throughout its development.
The opening is striking and atmospheric, unfolding with the sensation of a thick green forest after rainfall. Deep green woods, cool resinous facets, and a subtle mint-like freshness rise immediately from the skin, giving the oil an incredibly vivid and immersive character. Beneath this sits a beautiful bitter-sweet almond nuance that feels smooth, rich, and unmistakably Vietnamese in style.
As the scent develops, warm honeyed tones and soft musk begin to emerge, adding a glowing sweetness that balances the darker green character of the opening. The transition feels seamless and meditative, with the oil constantly shifting between fresh woods, warm resin, and soft sweetness without ever becoming heavy.
The drydown reveals aged wood nuances reminiscent of vintage tropical mahogany, smooth agarwood resin, and a refined woody depth that lingers close to the skin for hours. There is a calm sophistication to this oil that makes it feel timeless and deeply contemplative.
An extraordinary wild Vietnamese oud with exceptional refinement, complexity, and natural beauty. One of those oils that becomes difficult to fully describe once experienced.
Cambodian Pursat 2023
Top Notes: Animalic agarwood, dark resin, raw woods
Middle Notes: Leather, tobacco, warm spice
Base Notes: Dried fruits, resinous sweetness, aged Cambodian agarwood
Sourced from the dense forests surrounding Pursat, this wild Cambodian oud is a deeply expressive oil that captures the richness and refinement long associated with traditional Cambodian agarwood.
The opening arrives with an unmistakable animalic depth, bold and natural without feeling uncontrolled. There is an immediate sense of raw resin and dark agarwood character that gives the oil a powerful presence from the first application. As it settles onto the skin, the sharper edges soften beautifully, revealing rich leather accords and warm tobacco nuances that add texture, warmth, and complexity.
As the profile continues to develop, subtle dried fruit sweetness begins to emerge beneath the darker woody layers, giving the oil a smooth and almost velvety finish. The sweetness remains restrained and natural, balancing the deeper resinous facets without overtaking them.
What makes this oil particularly special is the way it moves between intensity and refinement. Despite its bold opening, the composition remains smooth, rounded, and highly wearable throughout its evolution.
Sabah 2022

Smooth and refined throughout, there is no harshness or sharpness to the profile, allowing the natural beauty of the resin to unfold effortlessly on the skin.
As the oil develops, delicate sweet woods, gentle florals, and a golden resinous warmth begin to emerge, creating a scent profile that feels calm, luxurious, and deeply wearable. The sweetness remains natural and airy rather than dense, giving the oil an almost glowing character.
The drydown is particularly impressive, becoming smooth, slightly creamy, and beautifully diffusive on both skin and clothing, where the scent continues to evolve for hours with remarkable elegance.
A beautifully composed wild Sabah oud that showcases the softer and more graceful side of Bornean agarwood. An exceptional oil for special occasions and quiet appreciation alike.
