Woody, heady, MALAYSIAN... if you're looking for an oud with a zingy pick-me-up twang, look no further.
Kayu Melayu delivers, with style.

Wild-harvested raw materials, carefully inspected to ensure the tree was not abused the way many in Malaysia are these days (the use of chemical injections, poison - literally - and rusty nails, to trigger the resin formation), Kayu Melayu is an ode to wild, unadulterated Malaysian agarwood.
It literally means "Malaysian Wood" in the local Bahasa language.

This oud is archetypal Aquilaria Malaccensis, from the State of Kedah where literally no other species of agarwood is found. It is in fact referred to as 'Gaharu Asli' in Malaysia, i.e. the 'original agarwood'.

Completely stripped of the factors that typically shape the aroma of Malaysian oud oils, Kayu Melayu was painstakingly distilled with two aims:
(1) to preserve the "squeezed wood" aroma of the Malaccensis DNA, and
(2) steer clear of all foreign scent notes that usually shape the Malaysian scent profile, be they accidental or deliberate.

This here is straight up oud juice.

Wood, wood, and more wood. Even woodier than our old oils Hirta and Borneo Hutan. No funk, swampy notes, leather, decay, 'morgue smell', moldy cardboard or other such notes that often burden the Malaysian oud scent profile. No 'pretty' foreign elements either, like fruits or flowers.
Just straight up kayu. And a shimmery golden brilliance shining through the seams.

With a price tag that allows you to be liberal with your applications, and without sacrificing the painstaking craftsmanship standard of Agar Aura's hand-made oud oils, Kayu Melayu is a litmus test. If this oud sells well and you the consumer would love to see more oud oils of this grade and price-range, we will be delighted to bring you more budget-friendly oud oils, from other countries as well.

With round-ticket fares to Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand (and so on) for as little as $65, Agar Aura is strategically located in the heart of the agarwood world, making it easy to personally scrutinize, inspect, and approve batches of agarwood raw materials from every single country.
