MALINAU SENKOH
Incense Grade Pure Oud Oil Artisanal Hydro-Distillation | Aquilaria Microcarpa (Malinau, North Kalimantan)
ABOUT THE OIL
Malinau Senkoh represents an exquisite showcase of the legendary North Kalimantan terroir, capturing the pinnacle of high-elevation wild agarwood distillation. Sourced exclusively from dense, resin-rich heartwood harvested from deep within the pristine Malinau rainforest, this release delivers a refined, airy, and deeply ethereal scent profile that epitomizes top-tier Borneo ouds.
Crafted through zero-soak air-distillation using low heat in copper apparatuses, followed by an advanced studio decantation and full moisture elimination, every sharp edge and harsh nuance has been systematically polished away.
The result is a pristine, highly elevated expression of wild Malinau agarwood. From its shimmering green-vanillic opening to its rich, nectarous heart bursting with tart red berries and golden sweetness, Malinau Senkoh stands as an undeniable masterpiece, a transcendent, deeply calming Incense Grade benchmark for Kalimantan distillations.

SCENT PROFILE
Characterized by its radiant transition from crisp alpine breeze to tart wild berries, thick honey nectar, and glowing incense embers, Malinau Senkoh offers an ultra-clean, serene olfactory journey completely free of barnyard, earthy-sour, or heavy smoke notes:
Top Notes (First Impression): Opens with a luminous, cooling burst of green menthol, crisp alpine air, and dew-drenched mountain flora. A distinct note of wild raspberry instantly sparkles through, providing a bright, tangy, and sophisticated tart-fruity opening alongside subtle crushed pine needles.
Heart Notes (The Core): As the airy top notes unfold, a dense core of golden thick honey nectar and wild Borneo florals emerges. The jammy tartness of ripe red raspberries weaves seamlessly into lush acacia honey, crushed wildflowers, and the signature, cream-like sweetness of raw Malinau wood resin.
Base Notes (Dry Down & Longevity): The lingering dry down replicates precious Malinau resin slowly warming over Subitism mica plates. It resolves into a serene foundation of golden amber, soft sandalwood powder, clean vanillic wood smoke, and rain-soaked forest timber that stays on the skin for hours.
