Sai Khao - Oud of Patani Province

Sai Khao – Oud of Patani Province (Aquilaria crassna)

From the forests of southern Thailand, where the lines between jungle and culture blur, comes Sai Khao, an oud perfectly balanced between the wild and the refined. Its aroma opens with a green clarity: herbal, clean, and lively notes reminiscent of the ancient gesture of crushing fresh leaves between the hands.

That green freshness is intense, but not harsh. As the oil breathes, a light, fresh wood is revealed, as if cut just a few hours ago. There's something dry in the background, like wood curing in the air, a whisper that brings firmness and presence.

But the true heart of Sai Khao is its smoke. A discreet, elegant smokiness that doesn't invade, but accompanies. Like the trail of an extinguished campfire at dawn or the faint smoke that lingers between clothes after a hike along a mountain trail. In small amounts, this smoky nuance transforms any composition: it makes it intimate, it makes it unforgettable.

Distilled slowly, at a low temperature, and with almost monastic patience, Sai Khao is a masterpiece of olfactory craftsmanship. An oud for those seeking depth without darkness, intensity without aggression. A green, woody, and smoky mist that slips into the memory with the natural ease of the true.
