Extrait de Parfum Trio (9ml)
Instead of standard perfumers’ alcohol, this collection uses a natural vanilla tincture as the entire master base. Over months of steeping natural vanilla beans, this tincture develops a smooth, subtle warmth that acts as a rich foundation for each fragrance—deepening the blend and adding a soft, natural balsamic longevity to the skin.
Rendered at Extrait strength, these three 9ml sprays offer a deeper, more rounded experience of our signature profiles.
1. Khumaasi Santal Kenanga
Extrait de Parfum (9ml)
Notes: Cananga Odorata (Kenanga/Ylang-Ylang), Mentha Citrata (Bergamot Mint), Cinnamomum Camphora (Ho Wood), Vanilla Planifolia, Santalum Album (Indonesian Sandalwood).
The Blend: Our 5-ingredient Khumaasi composition is reimagined here as a fine fragrance spray. The opening brings a gentle, fleeting brightness from bergamot mint, settling quickly into a full floral heart of lush kenanga. It delivers just the right amount of floral richness without ever becoming too "heady." Ho wood seamlessly bridges the transition with a soft, herbaceous woody nuance, paving the way for the smooth, warm depth of Indonesian sandalwood to emerge.
Suspended in our natural vanilla tincture base, the sandalwood and Vanilla planifolia extract lock together perfectly. The base softens the floral edges into a sun-warmed, creamy nectar that is beautifully balanced, not overly lactonic, and quietly persistent on the skin.
2. Sudaasi Ambra Malac
Extrait de Parfum (9ml)
Notes: Malaysian Aquilaria Malaccensis Oud, Cistus Ladaniferus (Rock Rose), Virginian Cedar, Brazilian Coffee Arabica, Cardamom, Vanilla Planifolia.
The Blend: If you enjoyed our Purnama Attar from a few years back, this dry, oud-dominant, minimalistic 6-ingredient blend is its natural successor. It opens resinous and dense, shaped by rock rose to introduce a warm, slightly leathery facet—amber-like, but entirely devoid of excess sweetness. The unfermented, un-animalic Malaysian malaccensis oud moves in early and remains central throughout: woody, ambery, lightly smoky, and ruggedly close to the grain of the wood. Clean Virginian cedar runs alongside it to give sharp definition to the heavy resins, while cardamom and coffee linger quietly in the background, adding a faint aromatic lift and a low, roasted texture.
By transitioning this profile into our natural vanilla tincture base, the Vanilla planifolia extract at the core is given a beautiful canvas to bloom. It doesn't present as overt sweetness, but rather as a velvety, softening element—perfectly rounding the dry edges of the oud and resins for a continuous, focused, and flawless transition from first spray to deep drydown.
3. Santal Vanille
Extrait de Parfum (9ml)
Notes: NTT Santalum album Sandalwood (Q4 2025 Distillation), Vanilla planifolia Extract, Vanilla Tincture Base.
The Blend: A direct, uncompromising study of two of perfumery’s most sought after materials. This expression is anchored by premium, sustainably harvested Santalum album oil from Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), Indonesia, distilled in the final quarter of 2025. It opens with the oil's distinct, authentic character—rich and zesty, with a touch of herbal sharpness and dry woody nuances—before settling into the deeply lactonic, creamy trademark profile that defines true regional sandalwood.
We have seamlessly married this stellar distillation with a rich, resinous Vanilla planifolia extract. Suspended together within our matured vanilla tincture base, the blend sheds any raw edges to become a singular, deeply comforting aroma. The base masterfully complements the buttery textures of the NTT wood, creating a smooth, balsamic, and meditative wood-smoke scent. It is minimalist luxury on the go, formulated at Extrait strength to easily carry you through the tropical Malaysian weather with quiet, day-long persistence.
The Vanilla BaseTrio is not crafted for those who chase loud projection, beast-mode performance, or synthetic longevity alone. Instead, it is an invitation for the true connoisseur to go deeper. By replacing sterile perfumers' alcohol with a living, matured vanilla tincture, Hikayat offers a rare, highly intimate experience with authentic raw materials. These Extraits are designed for the enthusiast who values the quiet nuance of natural regional woods, the slow evolution of resins on the skin, and the soulful art of slow-perfumery. It is a unique, thoughtful addition to any collection—born from the earth, aged with patience, and blended for those who truly know how to listen to a scent.
