Oud has long been the scent of ceremony in Vietnam. It is the resinous heartwood burned at ancestral altars, present at the moments that ask for reverence.
In this bottle oud comes first, dark and unhurried. Sandalwood follows, soft and warm, and rounds the edges.
It is a deep, slow scent that asks for some space around it.
A low chair, a cup of tea, the phone left outside. Dense oud suits it.
A room with bookshelves. Dry, warm woods sit well there.
Lamps on, windows closed. Oud and sandalwood settle into the room.
Open the bottle and put the reeds in. Within 30 minutes to an hour they soak up the oil and start to scent the room.
For a faster start, pull the reeds out, turn them upside down and put them back.
More reeds give a stronger scent, fewer reeds a softer one. Adjust the number to the size of the room and to your taste.
Keep the bottle somewhere airy, away from the air-conditioner vent and out of direct sun.
When the reeds darken and the scent fades, it is time for fresh reeds.
If you stop using it for a while, take the reeds out and close the bottle tightly.
Stop using it if you feel dizzy or unwell.
Somewhere airy, such as the living room, a desk or a bookshelf. Keep it away from the air-conditioner vent and out of direct sun.
Change the number of reeds. More reeds give a stronger scent, fewer reeds a softer one.
A reed diffuser gives a steady, continuous scent. A room spray works at once but fades sooner, which suits a quick change of air.
