Early Impressions of Eden
The first thing the deer saw of the forest of Eden were glistening, bright resinous vines which were hanging like ethereal threads of glue from the jungle trees therein. Rotten and somewhat damp bark they bore, shrouded in mist like hazy clay, on which tiny coke pearls shimmered here and there. There were traces of white salt mineral crystals that marked the archaic trunks, on whose gnarled and tiny leathery fingers red wine grapes were withering. The shy creatures decided to hide for the time being, covering their sweet traces and the skin with the earth, damp and light brown. Their warmth could be sensed in silvery veils all over the jungle's ground.

For Mathew Schmuelian from Lost Tribe in New York it is of great importance to use 100% natural and sustainably sourced raw materials in his fragrances. Local partnerships also play an important role in this.
“Fiber” is his ode to oud, containing almost 4g of oud per bottle, which makes up 87.5% of the blend. “You're left with a fiber of Eden,” he writes on his website. But what initially comes to the fore are light, ethereal, adhesive terpene-like resins, as known from sandalwood. Here, the black sandalwood, which is extracted from the heartwood of ancient trees, seems to cast its shadow, emphasizing the dark, resinous, almost leathery Thai oud. The resin shimmers in soft, rotten, light bark, creating an almost moist, loamy impression in which, as described by Mathew, light cola vibes of Malaysian oud can actually be detected before salty traces of ambergris and cambodi become more noticeable, the ambergris being rather resinous, the cambodi also with dry red wine grape aromas. The Mongolian musk remains subtly earthy, more skin-like in the background, so that a resinous, woody, loamy impression of Eden dominates until the end, projecting moderately but long-lasting.
