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.
