Our greatest ever find
our friend's family vaults
A Kinam era ushered in
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 and incense. It was no surprise that when they turned their hand to oils, such gems would be produced.
the origin
Taiwanese distillation
Fragrant Harbour is named after one of its constituent regions, Hong Kong, which earned its name from its role in the historical incense trade. Two especially cherished regions in Eastern incense culture were chosen to craft this oil: vintage Hong Kong oud and vintage Hainan oud.
With Taiwan home to the finest of incense collections, it allowed the finest vintage material from the 20th century to be used in this distillation, cooked by one of the most legendary distillers on the island.
Taiwanese distillation methods are unique, with only a few able to conduct distillation like this. This is the home of Kinam like oud oil.
