Released by Oriscent in 2010 under the “Simply Oudilicious” banner, these were three oils of which Scent Legends is releasing two. Unfortunately, the third, Cambodi Caramel was sold out earlier this year via a private sale. Nevertheless, you have here, an aged and superb example of organic Cambodi oil from 2010.
Cambodi Cacao captures the essence of what makes Cambodian oud so treasured—a rich, fruity sweetness that appeals far beyond the traditional boundaries of oud appreciation. While many modern interpretations of Cambodian oud fall short of its legendary status, often presenting cloying, overly oxidised profiles, Cambodi Cacao honours the true legacy of wild Cambodian oud with a composition that is both refined and authentic.
Crafted from ethically sourced materials, Cambodi Cacao showcases a remarkable balance of depth and vibrancy. Its opening notes reveal earthy, woodsy tones laced with the ripeness of sun-drenched plums and figs, evoking a sense of lush, resinous indulgence. Unlike more forceful profiles, this oil unfolds at a measured pace, allowing its complexity to emerge gradually. As it develops, the fruity heart blossoms fully, enriched by subtle layers of dark sweetness that bring the composition to life.
Distilled in March 2010, this rare creation has had years to mature into a masterpiece, with its luxurious, honeyed texture enhancing its decadently rich character. Cambodi Cacao stands as a testament to the artistry of oud distillation, a beautifully layered fragrance that evokes the soul of Cambodian oud in its purest, most captivating form. Perfectly balanced and irresistibly smooth, it offers an experience that is both timeless and deeply satisfying.
The bottle shown is slightly below the full capacity due to previous decants, but has never been used for personal use.
The price is for a 1g High Recovery Vial
