FRAGRANCE NOTES
Chenxiang XX opens with a vivid, cooling intensity — sharp herbal vapours, camphor, and forest resins rising with an almost medicinal clarity that is the hallmark of wild Hainan agarwood. The heart reveals a complex interplay of bitter green woods, crushed leaves, and traditional apothecary nuances, evoking raw chenxiang in its purest form. A refined balance between austerity and depth emerges as the brisk top slowly melts into a darker, resinous core. The drydown is clean yet persistent — woody, slightly smoky, and softly balsamic, with a lingering coolness that defines the Hainan profile.

“Kinam Absolut’s frankincense and mandarin top notes create a luminous contrast to Chenxiang XX’s wild Hainan oud and mentholated green intensity, weaving a sophisticated balance of spice and resinous depth. The interplay of Kinam’s Chinese Osmanthus and clean Thai oud enhances Chenxiang XX’s herbal, apothecary nuances, while the orris butter and natural leather base amplify the pure, austere character of wild agarwood.”
“Iris Chypre Regale’s commanding iris pallida and cypress top notes harmonize with Chenxiang XX’s herbal camphor and forest resins, bringing a regal powdery dimension to the wild oud core. The cocoa and fir balsam heart layers complexity onto Chenxiang’s apothecary essence, while the layered oud base, including Hainan and Hindi varieties, creates a textured, noble depth that complements the purity of Chenxiang XX.”

Provenance & Craft
The Art of Distillation
Chenxiang XX is a study in green intensity — a wild Hainan oud that captures the raw, mentholated character of one of the world's most revered agarwood regions. Distilled in 2020 from wild-harvested material, it carries the brisk, cooling signature that distinguishes true Hainan chenxiang from all other oud origins.
The opening is vivid and almost medicinal: sharp herbal vapours, camphor, and forest resins that rise with an austere clarity. As the oil develops, a complex heart emerges — bitter green woods, crushed leaves, and apothecary nuances that evoke raw chenxiang in its most uncompromising form. There is a refined tension here, between the brisk green top and the darker, resinous core that slowly reveals itself beneath.
The drydown is clean yet persistent — woody, slightly smoky, and softly balsamic, with a lingering coolness that remains on the skin long after application. Chenxiang XX is oud for the connoisseur who seeks purity of origin above all else.

The Layering Ritual
Wear Them Together
The ancient Middle Eastern tradition of fragrance layering — two scents, one signature.
Why They Work Together
Kinam Absolut’s frankincense and mandarin top notes create a luminous contrast to Chenxiang XX’s wild Hainan oud and mentholated green intensity, weaving a sophisticated balance of spice and resinous depth. The interplay of Kinam’s Chinese Osmanthus and clean Thai oud enhances Chenxiang XX’s herbal, apothecary nuances, while the orris butter and natural leather base amplify the pure, austere character of wild agarwood.
How to Layer
Apply the Oud Oil to pulse points first. Let it bloom for 5 minutes, then spray the fragrance over the top to lock in the accord.
