VIROOPAKSA | “Viroopaksa,” one of the four legendary Thai Naga beings, is
known for its golden-colored scales and holds the highest rank among Nagas. These Nagas are believed to be born through a divine process or spontaneously, emerging fully grown with the highest level of power and blessings, akin to deities. Most of the time, they reside in the heavenly realm and are responsible for governing all Nagas. The progenitor is “King Viroopaksa,” one of the four celestial rulers overseeing the first of the six heavens. Viroopaksa King’s duty is to watch over and protect the western
direction, in accordance with Thai Buddhist beliefs.

This fragrance is crafted from the essence of Oud, distilled from agarwood trees cultivated in Chanthaburi Province, Thailand. It boasts a distinct and pronounced honey-like base note with subtle hints of creaminess and leathery undertones. Yet, it retains a subtle hint of animalic or barnyard character, a unique trait of Thai oud, albeit in smaller quantities beneath the dominant
honeyed aroma. It imparts an opulent and regal aura, mirroring the golden image of Viroopaksa, the Golden Naga.

The fragrance’s introduction features saffron and bergamot notes, enhancing the core scent. It is further enriched with Osmanthus Absolute, elevating the fruity, honeyed, and leathery facets of Chanthaburi Oud, adding complexity and intensifying the honeyed scent. Base notes of sweet sandalwood and vanilla contribute to a rich creaminess in the overall composition.
