If you still haven't boarded the
Malay oud lovers' bandwagon, Mahkota is sure to
win you over.
Mahkota along with its closest sibling (in terms of both the
aroma as well as the mind buzz) Malaya are the
poster-children Malaysian oud oils that demonstrate what
happens when oleoresin-rich, dark, old agarwood is used for
distillation instead of conventional "oil-grade wood" (beige
wood that typically sells for $5-$25 per kilo).
There's the buzz of course.
Mahkota hits the brain hard, so make sure you have
some duct tape close by to keep your jaw in place. Mahkota
will take your brain to a different space.
Then there's the aroma.
There have been only five Malaysian oud oils in Agar Aura's
history which smell identical, and I mean absolutely
identical, to the aroma of burning Super King grade
Malaysian agarwood, and Mahkota is one of them.
Cinnamic-anise-peppery, vanillic-cacao bittersweet,
cola-nutmeg-jaggery candy, and with just the right amount of
umami to mimic the experience of heating agarwood chips.
If you enjoyed Cintaku, Suka Cita or Royal
Sumatra, you're going to love Mahkota.
And if you loved the mind-warping effects of those three,
prepare to be hit with the heaviest hitter yet of that
genre.
I just received Mahkota 🤯🤯🤯 MashaAllah what an
amazing creation! I'm looking forward to the upcoming
releases.

Love the way the green pepper cola notes in top turn
bitter and more yunani in mid and dry down.

Mahkota. Man I love this one so much. An insane amount of
sharp, medicinal, bitter and astringent kinamic buzziness
with just the right amount of round sweetness for perfect
balance.

Wow that buzz! Those crazy bitter clove/cinnamon
astringent notes! Oh man! It’s pretty ridiculous.

This stuff is phenomenal. Clean for ages. I swiped one of
my old friends with this one and he thought its an attar.
That's how layered this is.
The notes he mentioned were Bitter Almond, Vanilla, Anise,
Fennel, Peppery spiciness and of course high grade oud. He
was totally bowled over with this one.

Its pretty ridiculous man. Incredibly well done Taha. It’s
almost got this Sri Lankan vibe with the oceanic/aquatic
astringency in the second phase.

in my mind like it has it’s something pretty special.

Finally after months, 8-9? this oil has arrived. big brass
balls. deep. malaya level of opening. the profile here
stradles many oils: the cola notes of hulu/ayu, the purple
of malaya, the spice of and avatar psychedelics of
bericlau, malaya but it also has a green and a unqiue
shade of green only before seen in ensar's old legend:
kynam emerald. a sick, off the charts, out of this world,
papua like, malay! there are distinct notes of nutmeg and
aged cinnamon oil present too. lovely stuff.
