Hoi An Collectors Piece - Sinking

pure oud oil (attar)

In the realm of agarwood there is little that comes close to the status and heritage of Vietnam. The predominant source throughout history to the Imperial courts of Japan - a country itself at the pinnacle of this tradition with its focus on Kinam - Vietnam is the grail region for every serious collector.

With the rarity of wild agarwood skyrocketing, finding a piece of Vietnam from the source is impossible, leading it feature at some of the most prominent auction houses. 

The focus on Vietnam tends to be on Hoi An, Nha Trang and Toc Bong. Each distinct in its aroma, all 3 harbour some of the finest examples of Aquaria Crassna and Sinensis.

Pieces like this tend to trade between the same hands, seldom reaching the outside world whenever a collector feels like parting for something else of equal value.
