Kyara Ketone

No other Sri Lankan oud compares to Kyara Ketone in profile, quality, or style. Distilled years before others even discovered Sri Lankan agarwood, Kyara Ketone celebrated its ten-year mark nearly two years ago.

While capturing Walla’s distinctive creaminess is a big challenge, adding its kinamic depth is a rare feat.

To my knowledge, only one oud achieves this balance. And that’s why this bespoke perfume gives you an insane 3-gram shot of Kyara Ketone inside the bottle. The profile is accentuated with accompanying botanicals for a supreme spritz of kinam that’s bright, yet earthy; kodo, yet packed with flavor…

Infuse hints of fir and raspberry into Kyara Ketone, and it amplifies both its rich agarwood core and its added layers of deliciousness. Delicate pear and apple notes subtly enhance the incense, allowing it to lift and project, while weaving a subtle sweetness that permeates both the oud and the florals.

A blend of vintage iris, costus root, and Tibetan musk lets it diffuse gracefully as each spritz wafts off rose petals blossoming and popping out drops of Sri Lanka’s rarest oud.
