Fragrant Harbour
pure oud oil (attar)
Hong Kong, China | Hainan, China
Vintage: Late 2000s
Fragrant Harbour is the ultimate oud oil one could ask for, it is our greatest ever find.
After years of exchange in Taiwan, we were invited to experience the vintage oud oils stored in our friend's family vaults. A collection of oud oil was unearthed, a unique kind of oud oil, distilled with material impossible to find today - a Kinam era ushered in.
Taiwan is home to the finest of agarwood collections, eclipsing all other regions, renowned for their woods & incense, it was no surprise when they turned their hand to oils, that such gems would be produced.
