Koh Kong 2010 (1/4 tola bottle)

 Koh Kong, Cambodia

Year: 2010

This is one of the greatest Cambodi oud oils around today, it was in fact distilled for a member of Royalty in the Gulf. Truly great oils are incredibly rare today, particularly from regions like Cambodia, an astonishingly rare region today.

Now we've launched some incredible Cambodi oils over the past few years, yet none come anywhere near this oil. This is the pinnacle of Cambodi oud, the epitome of the classic Cambodi profile. 

Open the bottle and what awaits you is one of the thickest and sticky oils you'll ever come across, a resinous orange-red coloured oil radiating a beautiful aroma.

At the very top there is a slight animalic touch, which quickly dissipates revealing an earthy and dark fruit filled aroma.

The aroma is soothing and evokes a kinam like sweetness, that is simply irresistible and will leave you with your wrist glued to your nose. With such a tantalising and beautiful profile, we can only imagine the calibre of wood that went into the creation of an oil worthy for this sheikh.

This mesmerising sweetness lasts for hours, giving it one of the best longevities I've experienced in an oud oil, a rarity considering most great oils last a short while. If you're looking for a great oil or even a glimpse into what Cambodi can be at its best, this is the oil to try and cherish for years to come. 

Notes: Dark fruits, incense, kinam, honey, tea, berries
