Kyara LTD was proclaimed by our colleagues and fellow distillers as 'the' No 1 oil of all time they've tried. It was aimed at capturing as correctly as possible the scent of Vietnamese Kinam, and to that end Vietnamese, Chinese (Hong Kong & Hainan) were cooked along with cleaning dust from proper Cambodian Kinam. In addition to that, for every kilogram of agarwood that went into the pot, we added 1 full gram of Hainanese Kyara skins (tree barks). It is the most complete and accurate Kyara note in Oud oil, if you ask me. Medicinal, bitter, layered like a baklava and resonant unlike anything you can ever smell.
