Oud Tambaku (Rayong)

This olfactory journey, starts with a oakwood like reddish- brown color, honey like consistency which speaks for its longevity, a smell that is slightly medicinal and menthol-like, with a mild raw leather, tobacco overtone. And then comes the bitter fruity charred like sugar. At half time, a mineral like characteristic start to surface and it becomes salty and woody with a hint of oud incense and subtle spice, reminiscent of ambergris. Then there’s almost a cherry like note floating around as the top and heart collide. Slowly, the juicy tobacco and bitter fruits fade in and out and here you have it, the ambience of incense that is craved and raced for, takes center stage. Meanwhile hints of hay & caramel that’s not sweet but slightly tarred, come to play. The woody base gets stronger and sharpens the strong incense heart notes with darker shades of oak barrels that emanate throughout the life of the wear. Lo and behold, a kinamic-like dry down is experienced.
