Kyara square cut
The one thing that is puzzling to me is the Kyara classification among the different cultures and school. E.g Japan Shoyeido incense house does not break up Kyara into different color classification as compare to Taiwanese or Chinese classification system; they only have one type of Kyara based on a defined scent profile established by their forefathers.
Based on the Chinese system however, we have purple or white Kinam which are based on their scent profiles.
I know there is no way we can reconcile the different classification system due to cultural and values differences. So far I only have experiences with Shoyeido Kyara. Anyway know what is the scent differences between the different types of Kyara/Kinam?
This piece was sold to me as kyara,looks a lot different from pieces I see here but smells heavenly.
So even within Kyara there is grading? how is this graded? Some nice pieces of wood seems like we have a good few kyaraddicts here! i attach a image from Kyarazen i hope he doesn't mind but in these pieces the resin is literally oozing out looks amazing. For those who have purchased Kyara in the past how drastically have the prices risen and by how much?
Do you have any idea what species???looks like wood from a different specie..
have you tried beaming into it with a super strong torch? probably koompassia excelsaDo you have any idea what species???
O wow,koompassia excelsa????never heard of it,im guessing it produce heavy resins that smell of high grade Borneo oil?I have several different specimens of agarwood from farmed to wild and this is by far my favoritehave you tried beaming into it with a super strong torch? probably koompassia excelsa
