One whiff of Royal Sumatra,
and the first question you might ask yourself is... "why
aren't there more Sumatran oud oils in the market?!"
In the case of oils, its understandable. The way Sumatran
oud oils are typically distilled in Indonesia, they usually
end up smelling like beef and corn soup. Or burning tires.
Depends on the chef.
But Sumatran wood is quite spectacular. Which of
course means... distilled Agar Aura style, i.e. without
tampering with the true aroma of the wood, a Sumatran oud
oil should be awesome too.
To date, there have been only two other Agar Aura Sumatran
oud oils, Ambrosia
and Sumatora
Jinkoh. Although both were lovely, they were not
representative of the island as a whole, rather, both were
two very specific scent categories found within agarwood of
this island.
Sumatra is a massive island. Royal Sumatra is the finest
ambassador of the agarwood of central Sumatra.
Incense grade raw material, check. Awesome aroma, check.
Mind buzz, CHECK!
If you love your oud oils calorie-dense and replete with
richness, you'll be delighted by Royal Sumatra.
There is a ton of Malayesque cola, but with so much
vanilla and so much cream... its more like cream
soda. Immediately behind the mouthwatering flavors is a dark
fumey incensey chord (freakishly close to Royal
Lao), the hallmark of all real incense
grade distillations. Compared to neighboring peninsular
Malaysia, arguably the most blatant defining feature of
Sumatran wood is the frosty wintergreen-blue note (lovers of Blue Malay, take note). Plenty of that
in this oil too.
And just as the heated wood (during the choreography
session, to establish the distillation parameters) started
veering towards Indochina with the odd Borneo notes popping
up here and there, the heart and base of the oil reveal some
surprises as it develops on your skin. Primarily vanilla
pound cake baking in the oven (Indochina) and a medley of
wild flowers and spices (west Borneo).
If you want to set a high
benchmark, and get up close and personal with the truest
unwarped aroma of high-quality high-grade archetypal Sumatran agarwood,
then Royal Sumatra is for you.
talk about a crazy mind buzz!

one of my favorites!

You have perfected the Sumatran oud oil in Royal Sumatra.
I love the green minty notes and the dry down of
high-quality Papuan oils, think <...>, i love it,
mesmerizing. I can see people referencing to this oil in
the future as the gold standard for what a Sumatran oil
should smell like.
I.S. (USA)
As for Royal Sumatra, that one is well done. I've smelled
a Kyara oil from another vendor. I have to say that your
oil is actually wearable. It's more on the mellow side to
my nose. I get a combo of sandalwood and florals in the
opening and then a mellow Kyara note. I'm going to enjoy
wearing that one on Wednesday! Thank you for these high
quality oils.

ordering!

Royal sumatra: beautiful evening , Sitting around a
bonfire having toasted bread with jalapeño jelly.
Begins with nice smoky woody smell and then develops into
a nice mildly sweet spicy smell.

Royal Sumatra was one of the oils I got to drain on my
recent trip to Malaysia. When Taha applied some to my arm
fresh out of the pot, I lost my mind. I had never smelled
a oud oil like that in my life. Someone asked me what it
smells like. I told them it’s a universal oud and has
smells and notes from all countries Oud related. When I
smelled it there, I made up my mind that this is going to
a very special oil which I needed to have. Truly a rare
diamond of a oil!
A.K. (USA)
Truly regal oud, ethereal, captivating, delicious. Island
oud with cool green and vanilla. And notes that remind me
of some feel oud Sabah and Sumatra oils with a Borneo
flavor, florals and almost tutti frutti sweetness.
N.S. (Australia)
Gorgeous scent with blue/ purple hue. There are gentle
kinamic notes that weave in and out. The brain buzz is
equal to sitting in a room with Sumatra wood sizzling on
low heat. Stunning oil!!!

Customer (USA)
The sumatra is blossoming daily, have to try and put it
down before I use it all
A.N. (USA)
It might just be me, but I draw parallels between Walla
Patta and Royal Sumatra! It’s incredible. Your technique
set the stage for this to truly shine. No jungle, Damp
aroma whatsoever.
S.G. (USA)
Hazrat, the Royal Sumatra oh my Lord! Talk about short
circuiting my brain! Wowowow as soon as I took off the
cap of the bottle I was taken back to the same spot
where you first applied the oil when it came out fresh
and brand new.
The shock of its beauty which hit me back hard then, hit
me with more power now! This stuff is unlike any oil I
have tried! Really honored and humbled!!
