Abuyog Sinking

Abuyog is the crown of Filipino oud the way Nha Trang is to Vietnam and Malinau is to Borneo. You can tell Abuyog agarwood apart from its ambient aroma alone (the scent of the wood unheated), while it has a piercing thick blue cool tone that makes it among the most beautiful smells known to man. 

I’ve been so infatuated with Abuyog agarwood that if you asked me which alone-on-an-island-stash I’d go for, I’d easily reach for a packet of Abuyog Sinking. 

But you know the truth – it’s because you’ve smelled other varieties that quality Philippines oud stands out the way it does. Compared to the warmer pitch of vintage Cambodian agarwood or the spicier bite of olde Indian agarwood, Abuyog’s kinamic cool is love at first smell for any diehard oudhead. 

This batch has the same density and richness as old-stock Indo-Chinese batches, so the cooling tone is by now means ethereal. That’s what makes the profile so delectable, this rich cooling super dense combo that makes your eyes pop back when you smell it. 

I highly recommend fumigating your clothes with this fragrance, which can linger in your coat or scarf or suit for days, surprising you with a whiff of Filipino’s finest resin throughout the day.
