Laos Black Kyara Oud Shell Chunks
Sourced from wild Black Kyara agarwood in Laos, the resinous layers naturally peel off into the soil after being exposed to sun, rain, insect bites and gnawing. They continue to mature in the soil environment, forming fallen-frame shell chunks. The resin is mostly blackish-yellow, and the fragrance is richer and more mellow.
These chunks are thin-shelled with irregular shapes, including flaky, mushroom-like, and conch-like forms. The surface features fine aromatic gland pores, with a clear boundary between the inner and outer layers.
The fragrance may be subtle when smelled raw. When heated in an incense burner, it releases refreshing top notes, followed by honeyed heart notes, and culminates in calm woody base notes with strong diffusion power.
