Burn of the Day

[zeedubbya]

Thanks for sharing your impressions. I want to know how you find Manaka. 😀

Manaka will be next up. Did a little experiment last night. Was heating and paying close attention to the Cambodian (Manaban) a bit more to see if I could find the “Salty” quality when I got a craving for some Kynam. So I shaved off a tiny bit of Black Kynam from the small stash I have, and moved the Cambodian wood over to the side of my heater. The Black Kynam literally exploded with the wonderful indescribable scent of Kyara and I could really smell in high def the difference in these woods. Whisps of the Black Kynam next to the Cambodian wood seemed to really put a focus on the magic of Kyara/Kynam. My guess is this is a big no-no in trying to study the profile, but wow....the Kynam really stood out. Was such a superb combination, I think I’ll try it again at some point. Like right now!

This experience really makes me want to pick up a better, larger, more extensive (also expensive) Rikkoku set. Eyeing the one from Baiedo this morning trying to figure out what oils I could part with to fund this...

Hello to everyone,
I would like to share my new burner with all the Oud lovers , this is Burl Maple wood that I turn in the lathe lately ,
The edge is Opal Gem stone inlayed in the wood then polished , it’s 8” (200 mm) diameter.
I hope you like it and thank you for watching.

Plain Mysore sandalwood shavings.

no rollercoaster. just silent hum. a good companion to be with for unwinding after a long day.

How do you fix the female plug into the wood? I've always wondered about how it's done =D

 

[Joyoud]

I carved the wood exactly as the plug and one drop of CA glue (you can use super glue) for security.

Shoyeido First Class old stock

A piece oozing with resin,
gently heated,
beautiful sweet resin floral fruity.

I’d like to have a big bottle of this scent,
then I’d perfume myself like I used to💦💦

About the closest scent to this is Maluku and Irian Jaya.

Brunei g. From AH , I really want a Brunei oil that can capture this scent!
where oh where ?
Brunei wood at a reasonable price so I can distill it? Anyone?

How does the Brunei G wood smell? I couldn't get any when they were on sale 😕 and I do have some Brunei wood. Interestingly the wood I have isn't as spicy as the sticks that Le makes and definitely not like Oriana (oil made from Brunei microcarpa wood). So I'm guessing that there must be different species of wood in Brunei, each with a different profile.

It’s spicy and sublime, you are in the USA so dm me if you want to trade Brunei g 1g for a gram of your Brunei for me to try, the AH wood is very similar to Ensar’s Brunei kinsm scent just a step down in intensity

The closest I’ve ever smelled is the opening of AA’s Beccaraina but it’s a Borneo and not a Brunei I believe(I have AA’s Kekasihku from Brunei but it doesn’t go near Ghattas territory). I too would love and Brunei Ghattas oil.

I'd imagine that the spicy profile wood from Brunei is highly sought after and priced higher too. Hence would be difficult to get a load of that wood to make an oil.

Yes but I’d be willing to pay! As a personal distillation of only a tola of oil or less it wouldn’t be much more expensive then a lot of these crazy expensive oil’s these days.
Love the Brunei G !!

Vietnamese, Indonesian,
Thai, Merauke.

What a Smoke-Out,
I may have overdosed 😱

Night burn…
Habzoud Sinking Philippine.
Started on low then gradually went higher.
A little pretty on low, but on high gets heady and strong.

Kungyokudo Kayo
(Vietnamese agarwood granules)

Sweeter than Gyokushodo’s no. 422
and just about as good❤️

 

[TheOudDood]

Shunkodo Ranjatai - first time smelling this stick which I've heard to be very well regarded. So far it's pretty mild and soft, reminds of the others sticks from this house.

Habzoud Sinking Sri Lanka

Heating an excellent piece,
bright and refreshing,
then it leaves aromatic resin molecules
all over my room.

I’ve been heating (low heat) some Irian woods the last few days. Some @EJayB sent me from a special private collection. Also some @KodoKing sent me in a swap. The overlap this premium Papuan wood has with Kyara is undeniable. This is a touch sweeter, with an oceanic/jungle vibe but it def shares some common traits with Kyara and Kinam. I would almost go out on a limb and say I might like this scent profile more. Although it’s different it’s just as satisfying as the best Kyara and Kinam I’ve sampled.

Night burn,
Vietnamese and Borneo.
🥰🤡

Jayapura wood followed by some Vietnamese
Really been heating the Vietnamese wood a lot, daily
