Sumatora

If a vintage Papuan oud turned syrupy thick, spicy as fresh styrax, and retained the same balmy musk aroma, then you’d get a whiff of Sumatora’s flower-laden scent of petrichor, menthol-like but not minty, like basking in the bouquet of tuberose on a walk in the morning after rain.

Earthy like only fine Sumatran oud can be—that deep, delicious combo of oud vapor, wet stone, and tobacco molasses, all filtered through this herbaceous creamy tuberose laced resinous fusion you smell hour by hour.

The veins of this jungle orchid pulsate purple as cream and floral polleny and cream notes rise to the top of deep oud resin chiseled by steel. Moist blonde pipe tobacco with hints of clove bud heightens its pitch, unlike the dry tobacco leaves and Kampot pepper of Tigerwood.

Each buzz-inducing drag recalls the steel cut facets of New Guinea ouds, tinged jungle green with a tamarind cola note so dark it’s basically black.

This is it. This is Oud!

It’s incredibly multifaceted, even for an oud!

I rarely pick up on the described nuances or notes of an oud but here it is spot on. PURPLE. COLA. Through everything I’ve smelt so far on my oud journey (including a lot of more expensive ouds) this is absolutely unique in its opening profile.

What I really love is that a similarly dry, incensey drydown of Sumatora Senkoh came rather early in my wearing, which for me is the “Oh yeah, this is it. THIS is oud.”-moment of a wearing.

To be offered that experience in an oud in this price range is nothing short of amazing.

Wild Sumatra oud oil

Spicy and dark stone fruit in the opening, fizzy cola, jammy, and some florals that I can’t identify but very beautiful, super clean, rich and opulent, a slight hint of soursop fruit in the mid to far dry down, overall a punchy profile with lots of depth, this is a great smelling oud oil.

—Ben W / USA

Like a very clean (yet with earthy dirt & leathery elements) refined and well distilled Myrrh.
