FRAGRANCE NOTES
DESCRIPTION
A traditionally soaked and distilled oil crafted from exceptional mid-Vietnamese wood, immediately showcasing both raw authenticity and elite refinement.
The opening carries a slight barnyard edge — earthy, fermented, and touched with a wisp of smoke — giving a glimpse into the depth of the material. This phase is fleeting, quickly transforming as the oil cleans up into something far more elevated.
What follows is unmistakably kyara-esque: an ethereal wave of sweet melon and cooling, medicinal tones rises to the surface, accompanied by a smooth honeyed sweetness that feels both rich and weightless. There's a distinctive balance here — never overly fruity or heavy — just a luminous, almost watery sweetness layered with subtle bitterness and herbal clarity.
As it settles, the profile becomes increasingly refined and serene: soft incense-like woods, gentle sweetness, and that signature Vietnamese cooling effect lingering in the background. The overall impression is clean, elegant, and quietly powerful — an oil that moves from rustic beginnings into a highly polished, almost sacred kyara territory.

“The frankincense and mandarin top notes of Kinam Absolut shimmer like a luminous veil over Hoi An Supreme’s barnyard earthiness and fermented depth, while the clean Thai oud and kinam oil heart create a harmonious echo with Hoi An’s cooling medicinal tones. This duo elevates the rare refinement of Vietnamese cooling oud with a luxurious interplay of spice and resinous warmth.”
“Bijapur’s bold cannabis accord and saffron top notes add a spicy vibrancy that complements the fermented depth and barnyard earthiness of Hoi An Supreme, while the Madagascan vanilla and tobacco base notes resonate with its gentle sweetness and soft incense woods. This pairing summons an opulent, royal spice accord that enhances the rare refinement of Vietnamese oud with smoky gourmand warmth.”

Provenance & Craft
The Art of Distillation
Hoi An Supreme takes its name from the ancient trading city on Vietnam's central coast — a place where East and West have exchanged goods, ideas, and culture for centuries. It is an appropriate name for an oil that embodies the finest qualities of Vietnamese agarwood: luminous, refined, and quietly powerful.
The traditional soaking and distillation method used for this oil is a dying art. The wood is soaked in water for an extended period before distillation, a process that breaks down certain compounds while concentrating others, resulting in a profile that is simultaneously more complex and more refined than conventionally distilled oils. The slight barnyard edge in the opening is a signature of this method — authentic, honest, and fleeting.
What emerges after this opening is the oil's true character: kyara-esque in its luminosity, with a melon sweetness and cooling quality that are the hallmarks of the finest Vietnamese agarwood. This is an oil that rewards those who are patient enough to wait for it — who understand that the finest things reveal themselves slowly, and are worth the wait.

The Layering Ritual
Wear Them Together
The ancient Middle Eastern tradition of fragrance layering — two scents, one signature.
Why They Work Together
The frankincense and mandarin top notes of Kinam Absolut shimmer like a luminous veil over Hoi An Supreme’s barnyard earthiness and fermented depth, while the clean Thai oud and kinam oil heart create a harmonious echo with Hoi An’s cooling medicinal tones. This duo elevates the rare refinement of Vietnamese cooling oud with a luxurious interplay of spice and resinous warmth.
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.
