SAVANT VIETNAM CLASSIC 2021 • in-house wild Oud • Nha Trang, Vietnam
(100% wild Oud oil, authentic wild-harvested natural agarwood essential oil)
We chose the name SAVANT Vietnam Classic as an homage to our very own in-house Oud Savant and company founder Tony Bolton. Tony was still with us at the time of distillation although his health was a struggle. We lost Tony in October 2022 and miss him dearly.
This is really another epic distillation by Tony’s wife Tha. This particular Oud really is a perfect homage, a clear expression of Tony’s personal taste and refined distillation technique, now manifested through his wife Tha, who carries forward Tony’s legacy of world-class Oud distillation.
• production: December 2021 in-house distillation from selected Nha Trang wild agarwood. Distilled by Tha on location at Aroma Sublime headquarters. Ultra-low temperature slow-distillation in a copper still with glass collector.
• scent highlights: classic sweet Viet profile and super smooth (more linear progression)
• scent description: This is definitely an Aroma Sublime classic, the kind of Oud we are famous for. Glorious, round, and silky Viet Oud perfection from start to finish. Drops right into a smooth delicious cruise with notes of sweet orange, candied citrus peel, tangerine, bright molasses, soft natural suede, and luscious blonde pipe tobacco. A satisfying slow dance unfolds with emerging fresh buttered raisin bread, rubbed vanilla pod, warm cinnamon buns, dried apricot and sticky dried black fig. Deep into the drydown you’ll bask in a superbly stocked cigar humidor with a touch of golden marmalade. This is dreamy, epic Oud feast that goes on and on. Superb depth and longevity.
• notes of controversy: none, zero sharpness or funk even straight from the bottle.
• species: Aquilaria crassna
About all Oud from Aroma Sublime
• How we describe Oud: our scent notes begin about 60 seconds after application to skin, not from the bottle. Why: Hype, Poetry, or Precision?
• Wild means wild: no human intervention before harvest. Anything cultivated or semi-wild is labelled as such. Sustainability in Sourcing Wild Agarwood
• One tree where possible: we prefer single-tree distillations, otherwise a few mature trees of known provenance. Standards and Nomenclature
• Oud or agarwood: on this site, Oud means the oil and agarwood means the raw wood.
