Sri Lankan Soul – Walla Patta Edition (Super Premium)

This is a hydro-distillation of wild-harvested, aged-grade Walla Patta (Gyrinops walla) wood—Sri Lanka’s rarest and most revered agarwood. A pristine 2025 batch, it represents the quiet mystique of Sri Lanka’s ancient highland forests, where the rain soaks deep into temple groves and monastery soil.

WILD GYRINOPS WALLA

Year of Distillation: 2025

Appearance

A medium amber-brown oil—viscous and warm—like molten teak lacquer, glinting in the light with gold-orange undertones. Its look alone hints at depth and age.

Species Profile

1. Gyrinops walla (Walla Patta)
   
• Native only to Sri Lanka—protected and deeply revered.
• Known for its refined, incense-heavy profile with minimal barnyard or funk.
• Has a spiritual quality—smelling more like an offering than a perfume.
• Often described as medicinal, resinous, and temple-like, with a cooling drydown.

Aroma Profile

Opening

• A breath of cool, herbal incense—camphorous but rounded, like temple air after prayer.
• Notes of dried herbs, sandalwood dust, and an almost nostalgic “old wood” sharpness.

Heart

• Gently evolving into a deeper incense resin profile, with hints of myrrh, dark vetiver, and dried patchouli leaves.
• There is a faint whisper of animalic warmth—subtle musk and clean leather—but deeply embedded in the wood.
• No florals, no fruit—pure meditative wood and resin.

Base

• The finish is profoundly grounding: damp forest earth, burnt temple wood, ancient scrolls, and monk’s robes.
• Leaves behind a cooling sensation in the nose, long after the scent has faded from the skin.
• If oud had a pulse, this would be the resting heartbeat.

Overall Feel

• Solemn, reverent, and monk-like.
• Zero sweetness, zero funk—austere yet comforting, like the silence inside a temple courtyard.
• This is not an oil to impress; it is an oil to connect—with stillness, with earth, with memory.

Scent Character Summary

1. Woody & Resinous: The core of this oil—rich ancient wood wrapped in ambered incense.
2. Cool Herbal-Camphorous: A minty dryness that gives it clarity and elevation.
3. Soft Animalic-Leather: Delicate muskiness woven through the wood, subtle but grounding.
4. Earthy-Medicinal: Dry patchouli, myrrh, and old root medicine tones.
5. Smoky Incense: Whispery and distant, like smoke trailing off from a ritual long past.
