As opposed to the coffee luwak from Oud Luwak (2018), Oud Luwak II features a coffee that’s been fermented in barrels for 2 months. It’s the only one in the Classic Collection that’s not available in Attar form, due to the ethanol content in the fermented coffee.

‘Oud Luwak is an exquisite fragrance that harmonizes the rarest wild oud from Papua New Guinea with vintage Royal Burmese oud and the finest specialty coffee from Aceh, Indonesia. Crafted to showcase the transcendent beauty and unparalleled complexity of wild agarwood, this composition unfolds in layers of dark balsamic richness, earthy depth, and a whisper of smoky, baked warmth. Each element has been meticulously selected to accentuate the multifaceted nuances of this precious material—opulent, resinous, and undeniably regal. At its heart liespure and wild Maroke oud oil from Papua, distinguished by its dry, earthy grandeur, laced with incense and the deep, roasted allure of aged coffee. The fragrance features an exclusive coffee extract, born from beans fermented in teak wood barrels for two months—a proprietary technique designed and perfected by Russian Adam. The result is a velvety, intoxicating coffee essence, unparalleled in its smoothness and complexity. The wild agarwood oil from Papua New Guinea is presented in all its glory—dark, resinous, and suffused with an almost cola-like richness. Unlike typical oud profiles, this rare variety carries no barnyard sharpness; instead, it exudes a loamy, resin-laden elegance, sourced from ancient, buried trees only recently unearthed. A subtle touch of vintage Indian oud lends a mature, enigmatic depth, while smoky Royal Burmese oud infused with vintage civet paste imparts a profound, luxurious weight. The base smolders with smoky Texas cedar, balsamic Indonesian vetiver absolute, and sweet, boozy benzoin, creating an opulent foundation. A masterful evolution of Russian Adam’s highly sought after blends—Oud Zen, Oud Picante, and Russian Oud—Oud Luwak Part II is a rare olfactory treasure, celebrating the untamed majesty of wild oud in its most refined and intoxicating form.’ – Areej Le Dore
