Camellia is Au Luong's sister distillation. Gone are the shimmery green notes (and tone), and instead of an Oolong flavor what you have here is a strong black tea brew.
Although this is a wild Koh Kong Cambodian distillation, folks who have loved our old Thai oil, Kritsana Pa, will instantly find delight in the strong resemblances between these two oils.

Copper apparatus for both sister distillations, check. Gentle cooking, check. (Almost) the same cooking period, check.
The difference?
(1) the techniques, and
(2) the concentration of oleoresin in the raw material that went into the pot.

Whereas Au Luong strips away all the auxiliary notes, and zooms in on the oleoresin aka the 'good stuff' aka the 'black stuff' aka whatever term you deem most fit, Camelia is a more holistic portrayal of the raw material – the wood itself and what it contains.
Ever wonder exactly what difference it makes if a batch of darker and another batch of lighter agarwood from the very same tree is cooked? Ever wonder what exactly auxiliary notes are, any way?
Then you owe it to yourself to try the two sister batches Au Luong and Camellia.

Camellia opens with strong notes of well-steeped black tea, along with strong suggestions of persimmon and osmanthus. Like Kritsana Pa, beautiful white lotus notes bloom as the oil develops on your skin. The drydown, although not exactly like typical Cambodian oud oils, starts to reveal some of the more classic Cambodian notes of rugged wood, peppery spices, tobacco leaves, and syrupy resin, all the while maintaining the black tea aroma from start to finish.

Au Luong was distilled with the aim of stripping away all auxiliary scent notes.
Camellia on the other hand was deliberately distilled in a manner to capture all the intrinsic auxiliary aromatic compounds from the wood as well.

And so, what you have here is a crash course in understanding precisely what intrinsic auxiliary scent notes (i.e. from the wood itself) are, which are different from the more commonly found auxiliary notes arising from external factors: raw material soaking, apparatus material, setup, and flame size.

Or maybe you just love oud, love tea, and don't care much about technical jargon. If so, you'll find this oud delivers, without putting a dent in your wallet.
