Sumbawa oud originates from the island of Sumbawa in eastern Indonesia, a region known for producing oils that balance the depth of Indonesian oud with a smoother, more approachable character. The local agarwood often yields profiles that feel full yet refined.
The opening carries a familiar woody presence found across Indonesia and Malaysia, with a dark, bonfire-like warmth that settles quickly. Within around twenty minutes, the oil moves into its most recognisable phase, revealing a sweet floral tobacco note that is pronounced yet easy to enjoy. Despite being completely pure, the dry-down maintains a clean floral quality that many describe as lightly cologne-like.
The scent wears smoothly and consistently, continuing the floral tobacco direction into the base. Longevity is reliable, with the oil remaining present on the skin for many hours without developing harsh edges. Sumbawa is widely appreciated for its versatility, appealing to both newcomers and experienced oud users by offering depth and character without barnyard intensity.
