Pulau Maluku, AgarAura´s latest Papuan Islands creation. A dark-brown oil with a touch of reddish golden hue.
Directly from the bottle, I am greeted with a strong aged agarwood scent. On the skin a wonderful scent, with lots of herbal and jungly notes unfolds. A few moments later, a sweet Borneo note emerges. I get also a bitter-orange peel scent.
Slowly, the Papuan jungly notes take over again. It is a constant medley, it changes back and forth between the Borneo sweetness and the jungly and herbal notes riding a-top the agarwood scent that (at least to my nose) reminds me of my favorite oil, a well-aged Laotian oil that I acquired some time ago. The Maluku Islands, as Taha wrote on his website, are situated between Borneo and Papua, so you will find notes of both these regoins in this oil.
It also reminded me of Ensar´s Oud Emerald. Those who missed out on Emerald will find a close relative in this oil.
It is a wonderful oil, and I think many oudheads will make this their new favorite.
