2024 ‘Black Tide’ Sylhet Oud

Traditional Sylhet Bangladesh Oud.

Barn 5/10

Distilled from managed 20 year old Bangladeshi agarwood trees Black Tide is an oil of depth, movement, and quiet power. The aroma rises slowly from the skin with a damp, resinous character reminiscent of humid forests after rainfall.

The opening is dark and leathery, with a natural earthiness. As it settles, the profile becomes more dimensional — airy resins weave through the heavier base, preventing the oil from ever feeling dense or suffocating.

There is a gentle tidal quality to this oud; waves of shadow and lift move in and out as it develops. Subtle sweetness emerges deep in the drydown, wrapped in smooth wood and aged resin.

This is not a loud oil. It is confident, composed, and deeply atmospheric — the kind of oud that reveals more to the patient wearer over time.
