Shortly after distilling Oud Yunus in 2007 and falling in love with it, I decided there was no more time to be wasted hunting for wild agarwood trees in Assam. The soulful depth and mystic pull of Meghalayan Oud had all the splendor of Assam Oud to offer and more.
Oud Yunus ranks as the oldest, wildest and rarest Hindi offering to grace our collection yet. Distilled in traditional Indian fashion the way they would have done a hundred years ago, the oil’s aroma is also the most archetypal and soul-stirring.
The alchemical wonder of ancient Meghalayan agallocha lies in the species’ ability to tame the wildest, most feral Indian oud fragrance into a mouthwatering fruit jam.
And that’s exactly what Yunus does. It musters herculean strength only to remain gentle and soft, radiating sunshine and sweet dried plums on the surface of his unfathomable depth.
Unlike what you find in new generation Meghalayan oils, Oud Yunus might be suave and ultra smooth but it’s neither jarring nor subdued. Those who’ve tried it know that Yunus’ soul-soothing embrace is unlike any other Hindi’s.
It boasts a milk chocolate creaminess laced with sumptuous tuberose, fig, toffee and delectable barn atop a soul-satisfying depth surpassing all heirs.
