Malinau Merveille (2005)

How can something aged for two decades have such a bright and fresh camphoraceous opening?– A cooling, almost menthol-like quality similar to peppermint or eucalyptus.

Green citrus and fruity nuances – Hints of unripe mango, citrus zest, and a tart pear add a crisp, refreshing lift.

Aromatic spice accents – Subtle touches of anise, fennel, or cardamom provide a refined complexity.

Honeyed sweetness – A delicate, almost floral sweetness that balances the initial coolness. Soft white florals – Whispery notes of jasmine or orchid-like floral undertones.

Resinous transparency – A luminous, weightless woody character that feels clean and meditative.

Smooth vanillic-wood accord – A soft, creamy, almost powdery woodiness in the dry down.
Ethereal, dry wood tones – Light, airy, and subtly balsamic, without the heaviness of barnyard ouds.

This oil creates an elegant, meditative oud experience—crisp, green, and uplifting, with a smooth, polished dry-down.
