Gaharu Uno

Gaharu Uno, the finest wild incense grade Indonesian hirta Oud oil to hit your nose.

This project has just been juiced and how a fresh oil can smell so smooth, refined and beautiful is simply amazing. The raw material for this project was wild aquilaria hirta species of wood from Sumatra, Indonesia.

Ive compared this oil to several top tier Ouds from Indonesia and it is an oil of absolute beauty, i called it Gaharu Uno, Oud number 1. The oil provides such a vast mix of notes from earthy jungle, clean leather, oceanic minerals, punchy incense, oozing resin and so much more, the vastness in notes is very complex and all work in total harmony with eachother.

Off the dipstick you are greeted with a sweet soft clean leather opening with bitter green/brown low chip heat, theres hints of dry earth and a seductive blue/purple equatic note with a slight hint of spices. The colour of the oil is light golden yellow and once applied to the skin opens with a musky bitter sweet piercing jungle note followed with an array of bright punchy woods, the aroma of a fresh island breeze by the ocean, white florals, juicy guava, warm honey and dark ripe cherries and hints of fresh tobbaco leaves. As the oil moves on it gets darker, earthier, woodier and takes you deep inside an Indonesian jungle. The base notes of the oil are pure raw dark woods oozing with resin, the smell of an old library with ancient books.

If you you want to be transported deep into the Indonesian rainforest with a gentle oceanic breeze and the aroma of the rain hitting the ground, this oil is perfect for you.
