Sumbawa Senkoh

Incense Grade Pure Oud Oil Artisanal Hydro-Distillation | Gyrinops Versteeghii (Sumbawa Island)

Sumbawa Senkoh represents an absolute triumph in the artisanal distillation of Sumbawa Gyrinops Versteeghii far surpassing our previous Purple Sumbawa release. Born from extraordinarily dense, resin-saturated wild heartwood, this release captures a clean, complex, and deeply meditative profile rarely encountered in regional island ouds.

Although unrecorded by detailed media during its creation, the oil was produced through an intensive 21-day end-to-end journey utilizing our signature low-heat hydro-distillation method. Coupled with an evolved studio decanting and purification process, every trace of moisture and harshness was systematically removed.

The result is a pristine, highly elevated expression of wild Sumbawa agarwood. From its icy marine-camphorous opening to its smoldering jammy heart and volcanic ash dry down, Sumbawa Senkoh stands as one of our proudest achievements an exceptional, highly unique Incense Grade benchmark.

To maintain uncompromised craftsmanship and total traceability, Sumbawa Senkoh is released strictly in micro-batches. Batch 0.1 marks our first artisanal distillation of this upgraded Gyrinops Versteeghii grade for 2026. Any subsequent distillations from this same origin within 2026 will follow as sequential sub-batches (e.g., 0.2, 0.3) through year-end.

Distinguished by its dramatic evolution from crystalline marine frost to stewed orchard fruits and smoldering charcoal embers, Sumbawa Senkoh offers a profoundly meditative olfactory experience completely free of harsh, barnyard, or burnt notes:

Top Notes (First Impression): Pierces the senses with a sharp, icy rush of medicinal camphor and vaporous ozone. A distinct coastal air quality emerges, reminiscent of crisp ocean spray striking warm, mineral-rich volcanic rocks along the Sumbawa coastline.

Heart Notes (The Core): As the icy opening gently melts, it unveils its true incense core. Dense, jammy layers of stewed dark plums, crushed blackberries, and red apples cooked over molasses interweave with pristine, honeyed wild-heartwood floral blooms.

Base Notes (Dry Down & Longevity): The lingering dry down replicates high-grade Gyrinops resin slowly bubbling over gentle charcoal embers. It settles into a serene foundation of dry cedar timber, pitch-black resin, and rain-soaked volcanic petrichor that stays on the skin for hours.
