Hainan 2018 – The Heroic Oud of Time

There are perfumes that please, and perfumes that endure. Hainan 2018 is one that endures - an olfactory legend anchored by the heroic Hainan Oud, distilled in the year 2018. Rare, resonant, and unforgettable, this oud is not simply an ingredient but a memory preserved in amber, a flame carried forward in scent.

The journey begins with a radiant overture: Bitter Orange, Japanese Yuzu, and Italian Green Mandarin - a citrus symphony that bursts like sunlight through mist. This brightness softens into a floral heart where Jasmine Grandiflora from India, Isparta Rose Otto, and Tuberose Otto from India bloom with grandeur, weaving melody into air, lush yet refined.

Then comes serenity : Chinese Pu‑Erh Tea and Junshan Yinzhen Tea, steeped in centuries of ritual, adding earthy calm and contemplative depth. Their quiet dialogue with the oud creates a harmony of shadow and silk, smoke and stillness.

The finale is profound: Grey Ambergris, Black Ambergris, Mongolian Musk, Labdanum Absolute, Aged Civet Extract, and Russian Castoreum Absolute - a primal chorus of animalic and resinous allure. Beeswax from Greece and Hyrecium Extract lend golden warmth, a honeyed glow that softens the darker edges.

Together, they form a fragrance that is daring yet delicate, ancient yet modern. Hainan 2018 is not worn - it is lived. A journey through citrus groves, tea ceremonies, and oud forests, culminating in a crescendo of amber and musk.

For the fragrance devotee, this is more than perfume. It is a hymn to time, memory, and artistry. Hainan 2018 - a collector’s dream, a connoisseur’s treasure, a legend reborn.
