JADE IBIS 2022 • 100% wild Oud • Pursat Cambodia

• highlights: Smooth and steady classic Cambodian Oud, mostly sweet but with poignant, evocative bitter aspects. Light tobacco, autumn leaves, molasses, natural leather, cooked/dried stonefruit, and new wood are thematic here.

• material: 100% wild Aquilaria crassna, from a group of a few mature trees growing close together in the wild forest lowlands of the Pursat region of Cambodia.

• production: Distilled in October 2022 in steel with a glass collector. Dedicated and verified artisan distiller. Lab-tested for purity and authenticity.

• scent description: This very classic Cambodian Oud stays strong, smooth, and steady through its glowing golden unfolding. Some interesting, unique notes feature strongly at the outset; blackstrap molasses, autumn leaves, red ginseng root, pleasant horse & stable (clean, moderate). These notes quickly relax and harmonize the primary and more consistent classic Oud notes that define and carry this beautiful oil; blonde pipe tobacco, natural suede leather, buckwheat honey, dried apricot, peach jam, sultana raisins, and freshly cut new lumber. Expands and mellows through the drydown into a golden peachy-marmalade and carpenter’s shop aura, with most of the other notes settling comfortably into the background. There is something very nostalgic and soothing about this very special aromatic journey.

• notes of controversy: Minimal. A warm touch of “horse and stable” without being “barny” in a challenging way. The red ginseng and molasses notes bring a slight bitterness to the overall bouquet, mostly in the first hour of drydown.

Additional notes:

• When we say wild, we mean wild! All our “wild” designated agarwood and oil is from genuine 100% naturally occurring wild forest agarwood trees with no human interventions prior to harvest. Occasionally we might offer other options, but they will be clearly indicated as either “cultivated” (farmed) or “semi-wild” (agarwood growth influenced by human intervention in a natural setting). When we say wild, we mean wild!

• One tree wonders! We strongly prefer single-tree agarwood harvests and single tree Oud oil distillations. This has both environmental benefits and aesthetic benefits in terms of capturing the unique essence of a single, fully mature, agarwood tree. When this single-tree preference is not possible we strongly favour combining wood from only a few fully mature trees, of known provenance, from trusted and experienced harvesters. More and more you will see us moving toward single-tree productions. It’s part of our commitment to sustainability and the joy we take in honouring the individual aromatic “soul” of each tree we harvest.
