Empty your mind, and prepare yourself for one of the most unusual oudventures you'll ever embark on.
Taw-Twin Yatanar was extracted using the latest technology copper and glass distillation equipment. Although the quality of the raw material as well as the nature of the apparatus had a clear impact on the aroma, this oil primarily represents the impressive results of the new techniques used for crafting Agar Aura oud oils.
It almost doesn't smell like oud. It is the collection of only the most pristine fractions of the agarwood extract, and when you smell it you might almost think its a combination of various botanicals blended into a fine perfume.
Radiant brilliance.
And that's not just a reference to the color.
The opening is a combination of cool transparency (think mountain air), clean woodiness, and a soft vanillic sweetness. A delicate orange blossom note gives the oil a fresh vibe. As the oil develops on your skin, the crisp woody notes become warmer and creamier. Hints of cinnamon and sage honey become more pronounced and overlap with layers of caramel and resinous wood, topped with clementine zest.
Taw-Twin Yatanar and Ahmwei-Do were distilled using identical raw materials and extraction techniques, but two very different setups. This is your chance to explore and discover for yourself the effects of using different apparatus on the aroma of oud oils.
Taw-Twin Yatanar. Unveiling the hidden wonders of Burmese oud.
Just wanted
to say I got the package yesterday. The Burma was an
awesome choice, so much character and spice...

It
is such a multifaceted gem! The quality, and amazing
cohesion of its
bouquet (despite so many divergent notes), are
extraordinary,
especially given its age and price.

Taw-Twin Yantanar, ethereal to the max. The
opening is like pure
potential...where are we going? Then it settles
and it just
starts to give one color after another. Its is so
light but it
has its own strength. Sometimes I am amazed at
what pops out in
the atmosphere around me from wrist with just a drop of
this oil.
So cool.

Taw-Twin Yatanar is Oud of Spring, it has a surprising
green note in
the opening, artichoke, squashed lemon rind note with
perhaps touch of
galbanum. And it's herbal grassy of May fragrance,
Flora's juices
overflowing, but the setting changes to Mediterranean
after a while,
when spicy background and faint saltiness arrives, hints
of pine trees
and marjoram. Drydown is green bittery grassy, but of a
particularly
nice profile.

So consider one of the bottles of Taw-Twin sold. This is
unlike anything I have worn before!

Wonderful progression of all the various notes! Smooth
and peaceful, this oil is a true pleasure to experience.

Taw-Twin Yatanar is
unlike ouds I have tried in the past, but the features
are unmistakably
oudy... it is very sweet in a way I associate with
Cambodi or Hindi
ouds, but also contains a lighter, cooler woodiness that
stops short of
being as ethereal as the woody note in Borneo ouds, but
it is similar.
At it's heart there is the unmistakable oud note. I am
thinking the
woodiness in this oud is made softer and creamier by
virtue of the
copper still used, while I have not tried it's twin,
Ahmwei-do, I
imagine that distillation would trade some of the soft
and creamy
woodiness for a more ethereal and aggressive woody note.
This smells
very much like the oud used in Ariya as well, and is
more like a
composed perfume than most other ouds I have tried by
virtue of having
scent components that are a bit at odds with one
another, it does not
seem like the sweet and woody aspect of this oud could
possible come
from the same source! This oud has very good lasting
power, it takes at
least 6 hours to go through it's major transformations
and then lingers
for many hours after with a sweet woody drydown.
