Oudh Maroke / Merauke 2022

Introducing Oudh Maroke, a fragrance that captures the essence of sacred space.

The initial notes are a deeply intoxicating woodiness, as if someone bottled the smoke from burning oudh chips along with the aromas of a tropical jungle. The notes do not evolve as it typically expected of an Oudh, but skillfully blend the deeply woody notes with mentholic accords. To inhale it is to let the soul journey into sacred space and leave behind the stresses of the daily grind. This is not quite the description in notes, but rather a description of ones experience with this Oudh.

Oudh Meroke is free from any skank or animalic notes. Along with Oudh Hindi Amiri, Oudh Meroke is recognized as one of the finest oudhs in our collection and has garnered praise from local oudh enthusiasts. Even though Oudh Meroke does not possess the longevity of Oudh Amiri, but that takes nothing away from its quality. Oudh Meroke stands apart in a class of its own. This oudh will continue to age beautifully.

Whether you're searching for the perfect gift for a spiritual master or seeking a fragrance to elevate your soul in a luminous setting, Oudh Meroke is a compelling choice. Immerse yourself in the sublime allure of this fragrance that captures the essence of mystical nobility. It is my preferred Oudh when visiting scared spaces or in the presence of sacred people.

ARTISANSHIP:
✨Crafted using traditional distillation methods, this Oudh preserves the purity and essence of the Agarwood. This Oudh is free from artificial chemicals or colours.

✨ Oudh Meroke lasted on my skin for several hours. The effect and time varies from person to person depending on the season, how the Oudh interacts with the skin and where it is applied. The common points of application are inside the wrists, behind the ears and neck. Hydrated skin holds fragrance longer.

✨ FROM THE HEART...
...the journey with traditional Ouds and Attars goes beyond mere fragrance—it's a passage through time and memory.

Oudh Manipur Musk transported me to the Kashmir of the 70s, wandering through ancient markets and my great uncle's cosmetics shop. Inhaling Taif Rose brought back the aroma of my grandfather's garden in the 80s.

Ruh Motia recalls 90s strolls through the streets of Kipling’s Mussoorie, while natural Deer Musk embodies the warmth of winter mornings at the foothills of the Sivaliks. Attar Shamama encompasses the essence of a decades-old South Indian spice market, and Ruh Khus captures the earthy notes of wet grass after monsoon rains.

Arabian lands are evoked by the Ouds, with Cambodian Oudh reminiscent of the 80s Bedouins selling wild honey in the South Arabian mountains. Assam Oudh embodies the Sacred Precinct of Mecca, and Oudh Amiri brings memories of touching the Ancient House. Medina, the Illumined, is like a melody—a place where the heart grows still and the air is tranquil with angelic presence. Here, Oudh Merauke becomes a soothing balm.

I share these experiences to express that the gift of aromatic senses is uniquely personal. Allow yourself to be healed and complete through the timeless elegance of traditional aromas. This journey touched a primal chord in my being, and I hope each drop of these artisanal distillations does the same for you. With gratitude for your indulgence.
