Vietnamese "Al-Jar" (Mountain) oud incense, of double super grade, possesses unique characteristics that make it a highly sought-after variety among lovers of sweet and cool scents. Here is a precise description of this type:
1. Appearance and Color
• Shape: It usually comes in the form of natural wooden pieces (incense burner fragments) characterized by their hardness.
• Color: It is characterized by a dark brown color, tending towards black, which reflects the density of "resin" (oud oil) within the wood fibers.
• Double Super Grade: This means that the proportion of blackness and oil in the piece is very high, making it heavy in weight compared to its size.
2. Scent and Flavor
• Sweet Flavor: The most prominent characteristic of Vietnamese oud is its "sweet" scent, resembling the aroma of flowers mixed with honey or vanilla.
• Coolness: Its scent is considered "cool" to the eyes and nose, and generally does not cause allergies or a "stuffy" feeling.
• Longevity: Thanks to its double super grade, this type is highly persistent on clothes and in the surrounding area, and lasts a long time on charcoal.
3. Performance on Charcoal
• Frothing: When placing a double super piece on charcoal, you will notice the oil "boiling" intensely (frothing), which is an indication of the natural fermentation quality of the oud in the Vietnamese forests.
• Scent Change: The scent remains consistent from the beginning of the piece's burning until its end, without any smell of burning wood (filler).
4. Preferred Uses
• Occasions: Very ideal for formal occasions and guests due to its luxurious scent and wide diffusion.
• Personal Fragrance: Used to scent beards and ghutras due to its high persistence and distinctive aromatic flavor.
Usage Tip:
To get the best result from "Al-Jar" Vietnamese oud, it is preferable to use it on calm charcoal (with a light layer of ash) so that the sweet aromas are released slowly and the fibers do not burn quickly.
