Notes: Damp earth, fennel, spice
Tarakan Island is located off the coast of East Kalimantan in Indonesia, close to the Malaysian border. The majority of the island is covered in mangrove swamps, which happen to be prime growing grounds for oud wood.
The burn is long-lasting and starts with an undeniable scent reminiscent of damp earth after a mid-afternoon tropical storm. This classic start gives way to a sweeter, headier note as resin appears and the smoke begins its smoldering dance.
While this batch doesn't carry the heavier resin content of top-tier woods, it offers an excellent burn with authentic character at a mid-range price point and available for a limited time only. Perfect for those seeking quality oud without the premium tag. Hard, medium-sized pieces with a handsome amount of resin embedded in each piece.
Loved the scent!
