Description:
A deep, rain-forest style oud distilled as a non-alcoholic pure perfume oil (Dehn al Oud). Sourced from Indonesian “Maroke/Marouki” agarwood traditionally associated with Papua–Merauke, this profile is prized for its damp-green opening and earthy, mineral density—think wet soil, jungle air, and dark woods. As it warms on skin, subtle sweetness emerges (honeyed resin, faint cocoa), with hints of medicinal/inky facets that collectors consider quintessential Maroke character. The dry-down is smooth, resinous and quietly smoky, with a grounded, meditative aura that wears beautifully solo or layered. If Cambodi feels fruity and Hindi leans leathery/barny, Marouki is forest-green and atmospheric—refined yet unmistakably oud. Ideal as a signature oil; a tiny swipe projects with dignified persistence. (ensaroud.com, masantaraoud.com, ouddict.com, aramcoworld.com, Perfumer & Flavorist)
Fragrance Notes:
Top: Rain-damp greens, tea-camphor lift
Heart: Honeyed resin, soft spice, faint cocoa
Base: Resinous agarwood, balsamic amber, gentle smoke
Useful info:
Purity: 100% oil, prayer-friendly; “Dehn al Oud” literally means fat of the wood—the traditional term for pure oud oil. (Perfumer & Flavorist)
Application: Dab lightly on pulse points; allow 5–10 minutes for the green/earthy facets to settle into the sweet resinous heart.
Layering: Exceptional with Taif rose, clean white musk, or creamy sandalwood.
Care: Store airtight, away from heat/light; natural oud deepens and mellows with time.
Context: In Indonesia, agarwood/oud is known as gaharu; Maroke/Marouki refers to a Papua-linked style long admired for its rich, forest-wet character. (en.wikipedia.org, ensaroud.com)
