Oud Ayyub

Oud Ayyub is a plantation 2021 oud oil from Koh Chang island in Thailand and the first of my oud offering where I had the chance to pick the wood and the method of distillation, soaked for 48 hrs. then steel distilled and the first batch was collected and cured.

To my nose Oud Ayyub starts off with very fresh camphorous and a bit kerosene like and as minutes pass it starts to morph into a unique minty breezy pleasant opening infused with a sweet feel reminiscent of nectarines and an inviting zesty juicy green floral aroma akin to ripe pomelo fruits.

The scent profile continues to develop possessing an elegant balance of florals and citruses, freshness ,sweetness and tartness come to mind, coupled with mentholic crystalline green backnotes that grow rounder, sweeter and more lush through the wear merging with hints of green tea leaves and raw woody spectrum into the dry down.

I am very pleased of how this oud turned out , it is bright, full of life and synergy , multi spectrum for being such a young distillation.

This is a guilt free swipe type of oud that is very joyous to wear, zero barn, zero animalic, safe in public and great for oud beginners and connoisseurs alike.
