To the true agarwood connoisseur, authentic Dehn Al Oudh is not a mere fragrance—it is a living archive of nature, geography, and patient maturation. Crafted from the resin-rich heartwood of ancient, wild Aquilaria malaccensis trees deep within the mist-veiled forests of Assam, India, this ultra-rare reserve represents the pinnacle of traditional artisanal distillation.
Distilled in 2018 and meticulously aged for eight full years, this vintage has completely shed the aggressive, sharp notes of its youth. What remains is a perfectly rounded, deep, and complex masterpiece that represents the legendary Hindi profile at its finest.
Because wild-harvested Assam agarwood of this age and caliber can no longer be replicated, this release is strictly limited. We are opening our private vault to offer an incredibly small allocation:
Strictly Limited Availability: Only two (2) pristine bottles of 3ml each are available globally for this specific 2018 vintage batch. Once sold, this piece of liquid history is gone forever.
The journey of our 2018 Vintage Assam Oud began in the dense, humid jungles of Northeast India. True wild agarwood is a miracle of nature, formed only when an ancient Aquilaria tree responds to a specific fungal infection by producing a dense, highly aromatic defense resin over decades.
Following a traditional, artisanal water-soaking and distillation process, this batch was selected for extended cellaring due to its exceptional structural density. Over eight years of temperature-controlled aging, the volatile top notes naturally transformed into a smooth, incredibly long-lasting oil that bridges traditional Middle Eastern perfumery with authentic Indian heritage.
For the collector who values absolute purity, deep regional terroir, and the unmatched evolution of well-aged oil on the skin, this reserve offers a profound connection to the historical roots of pure Dehn Al Oudh.
Master perfumer assessment
What makes this 2018 Vintage Assam Aged Hindi Oud Oil different from younger Indian oils?
The primary difference lies in structural maturation and smooth scent progression. Younger Hindi oud oils often possess highly aggressive, sharp, and intensely pungent top notes due to recent distillation. This 2018 vintage has been aged for eight full years, allowing the volatile compounds to naturally oxidize and stabilize. The cellaring process completely mellows the raw, piercing qualities of the initial distillation, transforming them into a highly refined, deep leather opening that seamlessly transitions into a smooth, velvety, and sweet balsamic wood finish that lasts for hours on the skin.
Is this Aged Hindi Oud Oil 100% pure and how can its authenticity be verified?
Yes, this 2018 Vintage Assam Oud is guaranteed 100% pure, uncut, and unadulterated Dehn Al Oudh. It contains zero synthetic fixatives such as diethyl phthalate (DEP), zero carrier oils, and no artificial musks or fragrance enhancers. Authenticity is verified through its traditional physical and olfactory characteristics: a deep golden-dark amber color, a highly viscous and syrupy consistency that leaves slow-moving legs on glass, and a complex scent profile that evolves dynamically over several hours through body heat—a trait impossible to replicate with synthetic additives.
What specific agarwood tree species and harvesting methods are used for this oil?
This premium oil is extracted exclusively from the resinous heartwood of wild-harvested Aquilaria malaccensis trees native to the Assam region of Northeast India. True to elite artisanal standards, it is sourced from ancient trees that have naturally developed dense, aromatic oleoresin defenses over decades in response to natural environmental factors. The wood is harvested sustainably, manually graded to select only Grade A resin-dense portions, and then distilled using traditional time-honored water-soaking and distillation methods to capture the full botanical complexity of the wild terroir.
What is the scent profile of an 8-year aged wild Assam Hindi Oud?
The scent profile scores exceptionally high in rich woodiness, sophisticated animalic depth, and antique smoke trails. It opens with a commanding, classic Hindi leather and warm barnyard presence that is deeply rounded rather than sharp. The heart reveals deep layers of sun-warmed ancient wood, dry tobacco leaves, and dark balsamic resins. The definitive marker of its 8-year cellaring is the prominent dry-down, which leaves a long-lasting, clean, velvety sweetness on the skin with a deep, organic animalic warmth.
8 Year Aged Hindi Oud Oil - 2018 Vintage Assam Agarwood (Wild Grade A) is a woody, smoky, animalic oud oil sourced from Assam, India. The scent opens with an immediate warm resinous character and deepens over time, revealing its full complexity on the dry-down — typically 6–12 hours after application. It is best experienced by applying a single drop to a pulse point and allowing it to evolve naturally on skin.
Yes. 8 Year Aged Hindi Oud Oil - 2018 Vintage Assam Agarwood (Wild Grade A) is a pure, undiluted Dehn al-Oud — no synthetic additives, no alcohol, no diluents. It is sourced directly from distillers our family has worked with for decades, evaluated personally against our exacting standards. What you receive is exactly what it claims to be.
Apply one small drop to a fingertip, then dab (do not rub) onto a pulse point — the inner wrist or side of the neck are ideal. Rubbing breaks down aromatic molecules and shortens longevity. One drop applied correctly will last 8–24 hours. Begin conservatively — this is a potent, concentrated oil and a little goes a very long way.
8 Year Aged Hindi Oud Oil - 2018 Vintage Assam Agarwood (Wild Grade A) is sourced from Assam, India, graded Wild Grade A. It is distilled from mature Aquilaria heartwood and bought directly from the distiller rather than through brokers — a relationship our family has kept for decades.
On skin, 8 Year Aged Hindi Oud Oil - 2018 Vintage Assam Agarwood (Wild Grade A) typically lasts 12–24 hours from a single application, making it significantly more persistent than any alcohol-based perfume.
