Kemewahan – where luxury meets brazen heady oudiness.
Distilled in a similar fashion to one of our best-selling ouds, Kemegahan, this oud shares a little more than just a resemblance in name. Like its predecessor, Kemewahan displays that mind-whirring, soul-satisfying quality of the finest oud oils extracted from the most ancient of agarwood trees.
But Kemewahan is unusual in that it doesn't smell much like other oud oils -- rather, if you can imagine agarwood (the wood) being transmuted into a liquid and you inhale its aroma, that would be a pretty accurate estimation of the scent.
This is liquid oud wood.
Featuring bottomless depth, sharp woody and ashy opening notes, and smoother woody notes in the drydown. And ridiculously powerful silage...
Kemewahan makes a statement. It demands attention, or rather it irresistibly grabs it. Its pure luxury, but its also a beastly chest-beater (in the most elegant of ways).
And it makes mainstream 'masculine' perfumes seem like grandma's rosey perfume mists.
Since the distiller works full time for Agar Aura now, you now save almost $100 per bottle.
You can buy oud from resellers. Or you can buy your high quality ouds directly from the producer - Agar Aura.
It's
amazing, incredibly smooth and tranquil, like an
peaceful oudy stream
to my nose and bring me relaxation and zen mood. It's
absolutely
beautiful in smell and sensation that hard to describe
by words.

Kamewahan
is brilliant fresh smoky. For me it played hide and seek
like a hidden
smile it stays there and suddenly surprises you. I enjoy
it a lot. Time
for a full bottle.

I've
received both packages now and am happy to say that I
love the
Kemewahan - oh man, that is a great scent! Rich
and woody,
certainly very masculine - also smooth and sweet though
too..

Kemewahan did smell very exotic. Exactly like liquid
wood. Very high quality liquid agarwood.

The scent
Kemewahan to me was like smelling the fragrance directly
from pieces of
Agarwood. It smelled very similar to my Agarwood beads
bracelet (I was
told that the wood was from Indonesia but not sure which
region) and
the scent was very soothing to me. The scent seemed to
change all the
time just like Kemewahan and I found it very
fascinating.

I'm
still checking out the sample of Kemewahan and the first
one hour
really grips you with some very rich floral and woody
notes and from
there on it slowly turns out to be very leathery and dry
woody kind of
scent and stays to be the same till the dry down.

I couldn´t help but contact you again, and I thank
you for the "reality check" you provided.
The second day, application of Kemewahan, and I
realize that this
oil is really a beast-- it takes time to get to know it
well enough to
fully appreciate it.
This time, I was really in for a surprise, as I
uncap the bottle.
Suddenly it hits me -- I am greeted by a very subtle but
nonetheless
unmistakeable Kyara note!
Once I swipe it, the Kyara is soon subdued by the other
notes: the fruity apple, smoke, and the wood notes.
But it seems to me that the Kyara is still present,
providing, as it
were, an undercurrent that makes the woody notes all the
more enjoyable.
I am curious what kind of surprise I will be in for next
time..

Oil smells dry wood, awesome as usual.

Starts with very ripe
apple scent over some woody smoke. Then the smoky note
softens, and I
understand what you called "liquid oud wood" - it really
smells like a
handful of densely resinated agarwood chips, unburned,
right under my
nose.
Soon, the scent carries
also some smokiness like that of `Agar Supreme´ and a
slight note of
violet leaf alongside a peppery undercurrent - like that
of freshly
sliced chillies.
About half an hour
later,
a sweet orange scent emerges; as if some good quality
frankincense has
just started melting on your burner. Then the scent
returns to the
agarwood smell familiar from oils like Cantik Candan,
but now with a
saffron undertone.
Ad again, more wood
smoke, a dark agarwoody smoke…and a slight leather-y
note. After ten
minutes or so it turns sweet(er) again, now playing
between the
different notes.
As a whole, it is the
mid-section between Agar Supreme and Kemegahan. Truly,
this oil carries
with it the most masculine scent, and its sweet
smokiness reminds
me of good leaf tobacco, like that which is used for
Cuban cigars,
drying in the sun.
What I find amazing is
how the scent changes once I stepped outside into
the sun. Then
all notes are greatly amplified, and the scent is more
like that of
Kemegahan. Truly, these two oils share more that just a
similar name!

Kemewahan is
excellent!!!!! You should have named it Cantik Candan
