Wild Bangka Agarwood — A Singular Piece

Net agarwood weight: 46.74 g. The separate weight field (0.34674 kg) includes shipping packaging.

Some pieces of oud stay with me long after I first encounter them. This is one of those pieces.

This 46.74 g piece comes from wild trees on Bangka Island, Indonesia. In my eyes, it is among the most beautiful pieces I have acquired: a wood whose fragrance is as compelling as its form.

What I love most is its changing character. A small shaving from one part can offer a different impression from another. Some portions bring a spicy sweetness that reminds me of Malaysian oud; others lean toward the character I associate with Kalimantan. Elsewhere, a sweeter facet recalls Cambodian wood. These are comparisons drawn from my experience of the aroma; the origin of this piece is Bangka.

That variation is the pleasure of exploring it. I would approach it slowly, warming a small amount and allowing each portion to reveal itself. To me, it is a small masterpiece of fragrant wood, worthy of being appreciated both as a whole and through its scent.

Offered as one complete piece: 46.74 g.
