John (*) is an outgoing man. He likes bright and sunny weather. He influences many people by his charisma. In his spare time, he drinks tea, burns incense and smells oud oil.
He has been using wild agarwood oil for many years. There is an issue: wild agarwood is getting less and less every day while its price is more and more expensive year after year.
Because getting enough good quality wild agarwood to distil oud oil is difficult due to its availability, many distillers use many low-grade kinds of wood to distil their oud. Wild Oud oil distilled from low-in-resin wood results in a plain note with slightly burning and bitter accord.
John has been spending a lot of money and is not satisfied with what he got. And he has been looking for more.
One Saturday, John told me that he wanted an oud oil that is bright, youthful and intense. Oud that has a booming effect: layer after layer. He misses these characteristics of a good agarwood oil that he used to have.
I asked John if he would be interested in trying out the Green Verdant.
At first, he was reluctant to give this oil because it was hard for him to believe that a tree planted by a human could beat a tree grown in the forest. So here is the question
It is TIME.
When an Aquilaria tree is wounded, its body creates agarwood. The older the agarwood, the better it becomes.
Old agarwood is heavier, more resinous, and has more aromatic compounds, making wild agarwood oil better.
In the past, distillers used many decade-old wild agarwood to distil wild agarwood oil
Recently, the wild agarwood used to make wild oud oil is around five years old because of overharvesting.
Hence, John cannot smell the oud that he used to smell.
I understood his frustration and revealed to John that I had something to satisfy him.
In a small section of our plantation (image below), there are many hand-selected Aquilaria trees.
These trees receive a special treatment to create a new breed of agarwood called “Green Verdant”.
This special treatment uses a non-toxic formula to speed up the process of "aging" the agarwood and make it resin-rich.
When my colleagues pulverised the Green Verdant and brought it to the chamber to turn it into an extraordinary oud oil, I was shocked to try it on my skin.
It was incredible, and I could not describe it fully in words. I know that this oud oil will satisfy the most difficult customer.
So I recommended it to John.
After one week, John told me that he was delighted because he finally found an oil that satisfied him: The incredible Green Verdant after many years of looking.
Typically, some customers would love to leave feedback for me, but not for John because this action would reveal that he bought this oil from me. John’s part-time hobby is selling agarwood oil, too.
Who would love this oud?
