Malaysian Oud Oil — Sabah Region 2024

What draws me to this Sabah oil is the green, earthy character beneath its smoke. It makes me think of a wooded landscape after rain: shaded ground, damp earth and the quiet presence of trees. These are impressions of the oil itself, rather than added notes.

Distilled in 2024 in Sabah, Malaysia, it has developed beautifully with time. The smoke is an important part of its character, but I enjoy taking a little longer with it, noticing how the green and woody facets sit beside it. That interplay is why I chose it for HUDŪN.

Some oils invite a composition around them. This one is offered for its own individual character. I prefer to give it space on the skin and return to it as it unfolds, without expecting every wearing to feel exactly the same.
