Aquilaria agallocha — Upper Assam

A.002

After the Silence

Oud · Aquilaria agallocha · Upper Assam

Late evening, cold weather, one press at the throat.

Agarwood from upper Assam — the resin the tree makes only where it has been wounded — held ten weeks against Kashmir saffron, Turkish rose and Mysore sandalwood. The saffron opens dry and faintly metallic; the oud arrives at about twenty minutes and does not leave.

The material

Aquilaria agallocha, pressed

Aquilaria agallocha

An unremarkable evergreen until it is injured. Infected heartwood floods itself with a dark resin, and that resin distilled is oud. The Assamese grade is the quietest of them.

The archive number is assigned once and never reused. It outlives the name. The formula reference increments on every reformulation and is never reset.

How it behaves

First 20 minutes

Saffron and bergamot, dry and slightly metallic over the wood beneath.

20 minutes to 2 hours

The oud opens: resinous, warm, faintly sweet, with rose and nutmeg holding its edges.

2 hours onward

Sandalwood, patchouli and amber. A second skin that carries into the next day.

Worn with

A.005 Night Bloom

The oldest argument in perfumery. This goes on skin first; Night Bloom over it. The oud gives the mogra a spine, the flower keeps the wood from turning austere.
