The first 2 pulls were entirely green
in color (you can see the entire set of all the pulls here).
If you've been around the block, you'll know what that
means: the caliber of the wood used for distilling King
K Nam was phenomenal.
The fact that it was wild Vietnamese wood... mind-blowing.
King K Nam is, to date, a combination of the highest grade and
quality Vietnamese oud we have produced to date. A
captivating scent profile and with a powerful mind zap
quality to boot, perhaps the most fascinating feature of
this oil is the fact that it combines the two most famous
scent profiles Vietnam is acclaimed for: Kyara and Laterite
(red soil) agarwood.
Kyara is kyara, it needs no introduction. It is not the
dominant scent facet in this oil however it is strong enough
to be considered a secondary / supporting aspect
(white-to-yellow kyara in 'texture', red kinam in 'flavor').
As for laterite agarwood, it is the dominant profile of this
oil.
Genuine soil agarwoods are almost impossible to acquire save
from premium Japanese and Chinese incense houses; and even
then counterfeits are quite common (Kohgen's Jinkai
is a good representation of legit soil agarwood). The king
of all laterite agarwood hails from Phúc Sơn (aka "Fuson" in
the Chinese market); the wood for King K Nam was sourced
from a jungle less than a hundred miles away, and the moment
you swipe this oil you are instantly hit with the
unmistakable bouquet of red soil agarwood flavors.
Marzipan overloaded with bittersweet
almond and spiked with almond oil. White and green florals,
together with a bright almost melon-like cooling sweet
aroma, sparkly and airy à la aldehydes. Black pepper and
cinnamon, almost a touch of nutmeg too. Butterscotch. Green
and cooling mentholated wood, bitter ambery like roots and
herbs of Chinese medicine.
At the time of release, over half the stock was already sold
out.
Discover for yourself what makes Vietnamese oud so special.
I took my time to test the
oil (king k nam). It's one of the most beautiful oils I
have ever smelled 👍🏻
Thank you for this 🙏🏻

King K Nam and Koh Song blew my mind...
There is not much I can say about K Nam, One of the
prettiest Viet in my collection. and luckly my brain can
process the smell for over one hour. Alhamdulillah Then I
go numb.

Still haven’t words to describe this narcotics aroma …
Take the best part of Kinabang , the best part of Vietnan
Spécial K, add entire fresh cream from Normandie cow,
flower of salt butter from Guérande… Vaporous terpenoids
from Taha skills distillation ! Sweet clay and peat
married to apples and pears juice unfiltered…
Like RMyanma I smell sweet candy vibe 15 minutes after the
opening… I can feel the taste of the sweetness in my mouth
after sniffing this Drug …
I am shocked about this oil …
I love it over Kinabang, over VSK even if I still love
these oils…
King K Nam has something similar to AA Royal Myanma in
terms of grade and precision, it hit the top of my
nostrils… it’s pure, clean and clear like the Fidji
mineral water… the only other oil that remind me this
pristine note and even more precise note is Emperor of
China from Marius … I don’t do comparisons here cuz the
profile are very different but both have This marvelous
refined aura including Royal myanma .
You get lots of information in your nose that give you
immediately mind Buzzing, Brain numbing, mouth watering…
when you put your hand to your nose, you definitely don’t
want to separate this beautiful connection to your mind,
and keep this strange position (hand just under your nose)
^^
This is a shower of the soul!

KKN is multi faces … today this oil sharing me the VSK
shadow with a kinamic milky cream of vanilla with a
vaporous diesel note very clean and buttery… blue berries
and nuts, wild strawberries and almonds… light Ambregris …
this is ZEN in a bottle !
this oil is so fresh, the aging will be unbelievable !
Taha made a Monster here …

This oil will be a legendary one in my books…
I tried some other Vietnamese oil samples from other
vendors in the same price range as KKN.. I gotta say..
Those are almost child's play compared to KKN.
Took a swipe... Oh my lord..
Such a complex oil too, so many facets, so dynamic.. 🤯
