KAYU - KINETIC

KAYU - KINETIC

KAYU is a soft, cashmere-like darkness. Airy and clean at first, the fragrance slowly reveals itself with notes of rosemary and mandarin, gently descending into plush vanilla accords. Its dual nature — soft and dry, smooth and rugged — intertwines throughout the story the scent tells. The woody heart of KAYU opens on balsamic, rounded guaiac wood. Just behind, the warm murmur of Omani incense signals the approach of the wave of darkness. When you close your eyes, you will feel the impenetrable, tangy, slightly bituminous agarwood notes envelop you — our unique blend of Trat Thai and Udomsai oud oils. We countered it with an intense burst of almond paste sweetness, loaned to the perfume by tonka bean and powdery musk. Surprising, euphoric, close to the bass. KAYU, darkness shines brighter than light.

KAYU means “wood” in Indonesian. Blending dry and earthy notes, it pays tribute to the countries of the world’s most prized oud, Thailand and Laos. An ode to woods, dusted with powdery sweetness.
