Chinese Exclusive Oud |
|
There are two types of oud lover. Those who love the
fruity sweetness of Borneo oud, and those who swear by
the musky, animalic notes of Assam oud.
If you
don't like the 'barnyard' fragrance of a fine Assam, you
probably won't like this oud. If Assam oud evokes
country pastures and grazing cattle, Hainan oud is closer to taking a
stroll inside the zoo.
A connoisseur would know, upon
first whiff, that this is a jewel of mythic
proportions. The primordial perfume, Hainan oud is not
used as a cover-up scent for the natural smell of the human body – but as an
enhancement of what is already
there.
Ancient perfumery regarded the natural scent
of the body as the ultimate love scent. Rather than hide it by
any means possible, it aimed to enhance it and make it more manifest. Scientists
validated this ancient secret of the perfumer's craft when they
discovered the same aphrodisiac element that makes jasmine and
orange blossom so alluring in the strongest odors emitted by the human body.
Chinese
Exclusive Oud is a return to the dawn of perfumery, when there were no synthetic
chemicals to bottle up and sell at the apothecary's counter. It is a
return to harmony with nature and our own bodies. Far
from an embarrassed cover-up, it celebrates our
archetypal fragrance and expresses our most hidden sexual
instincts. |

Chinese Exclusive ordered on Tuesday and well received on Saturday!
I really do not know what you are putting inside the bottle......
Some sellers may add DOP or cutting agents but I really ask myself if you are not invoking the DIVINE when you start filling the bottle....
SO TRANSCENDENT, SO SPIRITUAL, SO LOVELY... – M. Sekkil, France
Upon our meeting I had failed to disclose a piece of information about myself. While it is true that I was born in Chile (my family having relocated from Andalucia to South America some five-hundred years ago to the best of my estimations), my mother is in fact French. As the most masterful of all European perfume-makers, the French have no light demands when it comes to perfumery. Thus for years no bottle would suffice me for fine occasions unless it had written upon it “Fabriqué en France”. Even after studying briefly in the Gulf, I failed to find a fragrance that surpassed my conviction in the scents of Gaul. My own experience told me that Saracen scents ranged typically from cheap abominations resembling the fragrance of a bubble-bath to weighty vials of what reminded me of cockroach-killer. It seemed I could not find a proper Oud that satisfied my demand for a deep, rich fragrance that still held harmony of lighter and more sensual tones. My dream of a primordial fragrance that embodied the complexities of the mystical was in danger of becoming mythical. This Oud, which you so masterfully recommended, has fulfilled my dream. As we say in France, “Chapeau”. – Rafael Alejandro
Your Hainan is one of my favorites. – G. Lynch, CA
The Chinese Exclusive is the most amazingly long-lasting oud. I would say a healthy swipe is detectable 18 - 24 hours after application. The dry-down of this oil is really stupendous – there is a sweet, ethereal quality which is fantastic. The opening is definitely animalic and its heart and base are completely pleasant. Nice stuff. – M. Puccio, OR
The oil is amazing. It is one of the most complicated scents I’ve ever experienced. I wear it for myself, and the fragrance is something that comforts and strengthens me. This is not something I say lightly. Thank you for making such a high quality Oud available to us. – J. Lechago, TX

unemployment line I will at
least smell like a Prince!
Thank you!'
