Live Merauke Agarwood

Merauke is one of the oud woods I return to most often. What draws me back is the meeting of a distinctly woody character and a beautiful floral softness. It has the familiar pleasure of oud, yet there is something in that contrast that keeps me listening.

For this release, I have selected live Merauke agarwood in Super and Double Super grades. Those trade descriptions indicate the selection; what matters to me is the fragrance itself. I chose this wood because I enjoy spending time with it, and wanted to share that pleasure through HUDŪN.

Warm a small piece gently and let its character unfold. I prefer to begin with a lower heat, giving the woody and floral facets room to appear before increasing it gradually. The experience will vary with the piece, the heat and the way you burn it; that individuality is part of the beauty of natural agarwood.

Choose 12 g (our one-tola presentation) or 28 g (our ounce presentation). The stated gram weight is the net quantity supplied.

For incense use only. Use a suitable heat-resistant burner in a ventilated space, keep away from children and pets, and never leave burning incense unattended. Avoid direct inhalation of smoke. Not for ingestion or direct skin application. Natural pieces vary in shape and appearance. Allergen sensitivities may differ; stop use if irritation occurs.
