侍の魂 - The Soul of the Samurai
Tōdai moto kurashi (It is dark at the foot of the lighthouse)
Have the courage to enter this forest. Soon your spirit will accustom to the darkness. There are traces of resin glowing in the furrows of the bark, which, rotted by the essential oils, are already threatening to disintegrate. You will sew them together with the needles of cloves, which swirl all around like green sparks. This shall be your armor.
Senri no michi mo ippo kara (A journey of a thousand miles begins under your feet)
Cinnamon dust will blow from the bark when the trees pour into the soil, becoming one with the damp earth and turning into paths of moist clay under your leather soles.
Ame futte chi katamaru (After the rain, the earth becomes hard)
Soon the earth will begin to decay, mist and fog will rise from the way, and fine weaves of smoking veils fly away toward the sunny sky.

According to their own statements, the makers of Agar Aura collect and distill the raw materials for their perfumes and oils themselves in the jungles of Southeast Asia, thus ensuring their high standard of quality and purity.
“Bushi No Kaori,” the scent of the (samurai) warrior, initially reveals the resinous, ethereal, dark, oily, woody character of Cambodian oud, bitter with a very subtle sweetness, which combines with pungent clove oil and dominates the scent for the first half. Agar Aura points out in its description that samurai rubbed oud smoke on their armor and helmets before going into battle and cleaned their swords with clove oil. Later, cinnamon and leather aromas emerge, apparently originating from the rather bitter and pungent Vietnamese oud, which gradually recedes in the base behind the smoky hinoki wood, reminiscent of mouldy forest floor.
The result is a fascinatingly harmonious, spicy-tart, subtly leathery, dark resinous-earthy wood scent with wonderful Japanese incense notes of the finest quality, with a distinct to moderate projection and long-lasting scent.

Smoky and green thanks to hinoki. Reminds me of japanese culture. Simple and meditative oudy scent. I recommend it.

Agar Aura at its best. Proven oud scent of the reddish-brown, spicy, and fermented kind. In the background, a smoky wood note wafts. Always ...

Spicy-clove opening,
resinous woods. After an hour, the Vietnamese oud reveals itself to me. Well done, but it doesn't blow me away.

Essence of woodiness underlined by gentle clove. A slightly floral-herbaceous impression sometimes arises, along with dry earth.

Oily oud/clove combo that gradually turns into a hinoki wood/oud dream dry down. I can't get anything done today. Zen achieved.
