DESCRIPTION
We've been holding onto a wild Maroke for some time now, revisiting it occasionally to marvel at its exquisite qualities and to discuss whether we should release it. Originally, we planned to launch it as part of our new Oud Embers collection which includes the unreleased Green Fire (Malay) and Cambodi Incense (Koh Kong). However, with Eid upon us—a time for giving and sharing gifts—we've decided to release this exceptional oil to commemorate Eid al-Aḍḥā. If you ever had the chance to collate and appreciate HM Royal Maroke, then this oud is something you shouldn't think too long about.
This oud encapsulates the Papuan jungle in a bottle. It features elements of the lush, green canopy and the fragrant scent of verdant wildflowers. The refreshing aroma of menthol eucalyptus adds a crisp, invigorating layer, while the earthy undertones of damp soil come through, evoking the mitti of a rainforest just after a downpour. Each note combines to create a rich, immersive experience that transports you to the heart of Papuan landscape.
As it dries down, one thing becomes apparent: a wild, clean Papuan incense note, not the BBQ variety(!). This is beautifully mixed with a creamy butteriness and the oceanic essence of ambergris like notes, creating an extremely enduring fragrance. This is the longest-lasting oud we have ever tested; even after many a ritual wash, this oud will continue to shout from the canopies.
