Kambodi
PARFUM - 50ML
Kambodi is a modern chypre fragrance built upon a base of real Cambodian Oud. Famed for its sweetness, this is the rarest and most beloved oud in Arabian tradition.
Kambodi reaches new heights, elevating fine oud fragrance to another paradigm, this is unmatched, unparalleled and quite easily one of the greatest oud fragrances.
Background
In the Arabian tradition of Oud, Kambodi (Cambodian) is the pinnacle that escapes the connoisseurs. Famed for its sweetness and rarity, truly authentic Cambodian agarwood is exceptionally rare today.
The precious essence of the rare agarwood tree, gives birth to the aromatic agarwood used to distill oud oil, with only mere drops yielded from each kilogram of agarwood.
Unparalleled in its rarity, oud is one of the costliest substances known to man and incredibly difficult to work with.
Kambodi brings the heart of Cambodian agarwood to life, redefining the oud fragrance, shaking off the connotations of “barn” and “animalic” associated with poorly crafted oud.
The pure soul of artisanal oud is embedded in this fragrance — where the oud is a mesmerising fragrance in itself.

the penultimate oud region
cambodia
Cambodi is the most prized region of oud, renowned for its sweet and fruit laden aroma, it exploded in popularity over the last few decades - today it is seldom found.
Much of the "Cambodi" oud sold today, comes from neighbouring regions, mimicking the Cambodian profile.
Sourcing authentic cambodian oud is virtually impossible, at KYMYA our vast connections across the oud world, give us unprecedented access to the finest of oud.
Cleanly distilled and sustainable at source, our Cambodian oud is tested utilising modern laboratory techniques to ensure every batch is 100% authentic cambodian oud oil.
Distilled the traditional way, by local distillers, and grown by local farmers, we play our part in helping to sustain the next generation by donating a percentage of every sale to sustainable agarwood plantations.
