John (*) is an outgoing man. He likes bright and sunny weather. He influences many people by his charisma. In his spare time, he drinks tea, burn incense and smells oud oil.
He has been using wild agarwood oil for many years. There is an issue: wild agarwood is getting less and less every day while its price is more and more expensive years after years.
Because getting enough good quality wild agarwood to distil oud oil is difficult due to its availability, many distillers use many low-grade kinds of wood to distil their oud. Wild Oud oil distilled from low-in-resin wood results in a plain note with slightly burning and bitter accord.
John has been spending a lot of money, and he has not satisfied with what he got. And he has been looking for more.
On one Saturday, John told me that he wanted an oud oil that is bright, youthful and intense. Oud that has a booming effect: layer after layer. He misses these characteristics of a good agarwood oil that he used to have.
I asked John if he would be interested in trying out the Green Verdant.
At first, he was reluctant to give this oil ago because it was hard for him to believe that a tree planted by a human could beat a tree grown in the forest. So here is the question
It is TIME.
When an Aquilaria tree is wounded, its body creates agarwood. The older the agarwood, the better it becomes.
Old agarwood is heavier, more resinous, and has more aromatic compounds, making wild agarwood oil better.
In the past, distiller used many decade-old wild agarwood to distil wild agarwood oil
Recently, the wild agarwood used to make wild oud oil is around five years old because of overharvesting.
Hence John cannot smell the oud that he used to smell.
Understanding his frustration, I revealed to John that I had something that will satisfy him.
In a small section of our plantation (image below), there are many hand-selected Aquilaria trees.
These trees receive a special treatment to create a new breed of agarwood called “Green Verdant”.
This special treatment uses a non-toxic formula to speed up the process of "aging" the agarwood and make it resin-rich.
When my colleagues pulverise the Green Verdant and bring it to the chamber to turn them into an extraordinary oud oil, I was shocked to try it on my skin.
It was incredible, and I could not describe it fully in word. I know thatthis oud oil will satisfy the most difficult customer.
So I recommended it to John.
After one week, John told me that he was delighted because he finally found an oil that satisfied him: The incredible Green Verdant after many years of looking.
Typically, some customers would love to leave feedback for me but not for John. Because this action would reveal that he bought this oil from me. John’s part-time hobby is selling agarwood oil too.
Who would love this oud?
(*) For privacy reason of our client, John is a pseudonym I use.
Very good! I bought a sample and came back for another 12 ml bottle of it. I find the notes to be nutty, woody, and a hearty grass. I detect a little wintergreen/root-beer note and a touch of camphor. I think I also get a faintly sweet jam note but it's not a particularly fruity oud. It's mild but on the other hand, has enough sharpness and character to give it a presence and form. There is no barnyard in this oud. I like to dabble in perfumery so I also add a touch of osmanthus, Bulgarian rose, and Damascenone to it. The damascenone mixes seamlessly and gives it a royal and mysterious lift. Just to be clear, The Verdant Green is just fine by itself. I also wear it neat. I just like to engage in a little amateur perfumery for fun.
Smooth enriched natural oud oil would be loved from initial application
Lovely and smooth. Wonderful smell
