Naga Kubra 0.3g
Naga Kubra’s aroma is maple syrup thick. Quiet, saffron-sandalwood warm top notes imbued with crassnan green fuse into an unusually woody heart. A dry cedar-like woodiness that gives the driest of Borneos a run for their money — but with a spicey rooibos wildflower fusion no Borneo can ever hope to possess.
You’ve heard how cheap oud doesn’t pack the same punch or lacks the soul of more ‘expensive’ ouds.
Of course, that’s mostly true. Distilling more mature agarwood with higher resin density gives you a different breed of oud compared to the saplings ‘cheap-ouds are made from.
Plus, I’m sure you’ve noticed that the more affordable ouds tend to be Thai. Again, there are good reasons for that.
But what you rarely see is where these worlds meet; where quality artisanal oud joins affordable.
There’s a lot of confusion about what makes a good Hindi good. For centuries, Indian oud = fermented funk. That’s all good and well, but for many, the fermentation period gets confused for quality agallocha.
Worse than that, oud as a whole gets tainted by this perverted perception. If it’s not funky – stinky, even – it’s not oud. I’ve shown the most beautiful Borneos and the cleanest Silanis to those who grew up indoctrinated by the School of Soak, only to be told that these aren’t pure…… or that they aren’t even oud!
