‘QADEEM - Breathtaking Cambodi'
Qadeem is a Cambodian oil of the earlier method, the like of which you have never smelt before. In 2013 we opened our old stock off woods, kept within the family for decades some of the finest woods Cambodia had to offer in her hay day. We would have no one touch them but Abdullah, who is now long retired, the unparalleled master, the like of whom there was none on the land. Once the oil was cooked we blended it with our vintage hindi oils, and we let time do its magic. One may ask why would anyone blend a vintage Hindi with the Cambodi, wait till you smell it and the wisdom of old will make great sense.
Qadeem is breathtaking in that it contains so many finely faceted dimensions. Many Cambodian oils smell tutti fruiti, there are none of those in Qadeem. Qadeem’s fruits are luxurious and vintage with the perfect touch of ripeness and slight ferment, transforming sweet jam to tangy plum liquor and cherry cocktails. A zingy, liquorice leather twists into fruity notes giving a tantalising edge, a sinewy energy overshadowing hints of dampness. Earthy, moist, golden tobacco and campfire smoke contribute to the oil’s depth and opacity. Thick, succulent richness is tempered by the bitterness of French roasted coffee beans, Cuban cigars and the spicy dryness of Cassia, balsamic sweetness of poplar buds, and a cooling eucalyptus trill. These unexpected elements add flair and depth to the usual Cambodian profile. Considering the lavish amplitude of the flamboyant opening, the drydown is stellar but gentle, a perfumers pillow of soft woods, lambswool and bronzed sunkissed skin and touches of saffron and dare I say jasmine.
