Kambodi 1976 30ml By Ensar Oud
Sometimes, you don’t have to do much. The oud does the talking for you.
When you make perfume like Oud Yusuf, half your job is already done by the sheer splendor of the oud around which you’re building the perfume. Oud Yusuf, the oud, needs no introduction, and anyone introduced to its apricotty goodness falls in love with its pretty aroma.
But Oud Yusuf is still a young lad. Yet, if such a lovely organic oud can produce such a marvelous fragrance that “no oud perfume has ever achieved this extent of elegance, left me such a remarkable olfactory experience. A perfume that fits very much the aesthetic of East Asia.” (Miqi Pan, China)… if this is the progeny, imagine the progenitor!
The world-leading cultivation efforts in Thailand and Cambodia exist because of the legendary oud that once came from those jungles. So, imagine if you could compose a perfume, instead of around a modern organic rendition, you could use the much older, much wilder, and more aged oud that birthed the cultivated offspring. What if you could use the much richer, more expensive, almost impossible-to-find progenitor of Oud Yusuf? The oud that made Cambodian oud THE oud in many people’s books?
Not oud like those vintage legends, but a legend itself?
