FRAGRANCE NOTES
DESCRIPTION
The Signature Line opens a new chapter with Kinam Absolut, a fragrance shaped by the discipline of Kodo traditions and the focus that comes from quiet, deliberate reflection. It introduces itself with a measured yet luminous trio of frankincense, mandarin, and juniper—an opening that feels both uplifting and precise, setting the tone for what follows.
At the heart lies the defining character of the perfume: rare Kinam oil (4g in each 34ml bottle!), supported by the apricot-leather nuances of Chinese osmanthus and the depth of rose absolute. Subtle spices weave through this core, adding warmth and structure without overshadowing the central materials.
The fragrance resolves into a long, refined base built around the understated luxury of orris and ambergris. Natural leather provides gentle darkness and texture, while Hainan Qinan anchors the composition with a smooth, resinous richness. Together, these elements create a composed, quietly opulent finish that reflects the intent and craftsmanship behind the scent.

The Story
The Craft Behind the Fragrance
Kinam Absolut emerges from the disciplined rituals of Kodo, its opening a precise interplay of frankincense mandarin and juniper. This luminous trio offers clarity and calm before the heart reveals itself.
The core centers on an extraordinary quantity of rare Kinam oil complemented by the apricot leather facets of Chinese osmanthus and the deep floral intensity of rose absolute. Subtle spices thread through the composition lending warmth and structure while preserving the integrity of the main accords.
The base unfolds with the refined presence of orris and ambergris layered under natural leather’s soft shadow. Hainan Qinan resin grounds the scent in a smooth resinous richness completing a quietly opulent signature that honours meticulous craftsmanship.

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 rich frankincense and spice beautifully intertwine with Hong Kong Regale’s red-tinged Kinam and bitter honey heart, creating a luxurious depth where spicy resin meets medicinal oud nuances. The natural leather and white ambergris base in Kinam Absolut melds seamlessly with Hong Kong Regale’s spicy and medicinal undertones, elevating a sophisticated, rare oud experience.
How to Layer
Apply the Oud Oil to pulse points first. Allow it to settle for 5 minutes, then layer the fragrance over the top for a bespoke signature.
