Collection: Real Oud Fragrance Collection (2021)
From dollars to scents — the time capsule that evokes rich memories, dreams and aspirations. Our sense of smell is as important as ever, given these socially distanced times, so back in 2021 we wanted to treasure what we can and keep the sense of smell alive, especially during test times!
Ironic that during a time when some lost their sense of smell during the fun and games in 2020, Dollarsandart launched a 1 year only exclusive oud fragrance range straight from our heart and the heart of The Aquilaria tree — the most important source of agarwood in South East Asia — from Asian Plantation Capital (A.P.C)
This highly prized product — used in fragrances, incense, medicines, and aromatherapy, as well as in cultural ceremonies — was available as a sample oil, a blended perfume, or beads on your wrist. An offering for fine art collectors and those who know just during that 12 month run!
The agarwood market — whether for oil, agarwood chips or medicinal end-user applications — is growing rapidly and has been on the Dollarsandart radar since 2014. Dollarsandart founder Jim Wheat fell for Oud oil largely through meetings in Dubai with Emirati locals who carried the rich fragrance with them.
The 2014 Dubai Dollar Project to Fragrance Bay Dubai
With fragrance available at the 2014 Dubai $ Project as a sponsored partner, he visited and then invested in a Dollarsandart Agarwood plantation run by APC. Comfortable that they have the people, skills, and expertise — and are pioneers in inoculation methods — to successfully infect entire Aquilaria trees with agarwood resin.
Together with their impressive distillery plants and technology, capable of producing top quality Oud oil for the high-end perfume markets, APC supplies luxury fragrance brands — and now Dollarsandart!
Jim's visit to APC offices in Kuala Lumpur back in 2016 resulted in his impromptu artwork entitled The Elements — and he was certainly in his element! Feel free to visit the APC Research website to learn more about Agarwood — an investment opportunity like no other.....
From the roots of the Dollarsandart Aquilaria tree plantation starting here in Sakhon Nakhon, Thailand...
To the sands of Dubai and the nose who knows — Ahmed, who runs Dubai-based Fragrance Bay with exceptional passion and drive...
As he strived to get each part of the fragrance collection bang on and on the money — even as the sands of time shifted somewhat during 2020 — he worked so hard to deliver something extra special, unique, and authentic, like each and every one of us.
This is the result and we sincerely hope you enjoy the collection if only to look at now as it all sold out way back when!
