Kangiiten black shin kyara

I think I’m getting better at recognizing the kyara scent. Doubt I could explain it to someone but I recognize it at least!

Hainan
Good piece with a lingering scent.

this sandalwood I got from AliEx is so hard I couldn't file it at all. Went to the power tools and am now really enjoying it. It's a dark red color almost redwood red, the smell is very deep, heavy and intoxicating. I went back and ordered a bag of this powder too. Their name is Lotus Incense Way. Your results may vary 😉

Is it red as in the red color of Pterocarpus? Be sure you’re not buying this stuff - I’ve seen people selling it as a substitute to the unwary

Red Sandalwood | FGP

P. santalinus, commonly known as Red Sandalwood, is a native and endemic to India and can only be found in the southern parts of the Eastern Ghats. It is a small tree that grows to 5-8 meters in height and has a dark grayish bark. The timber is highly demanded domestically and internationally...

This red sandalwood doesn’t have any smell to it. It’s mostly used for furniture making as far as I know.

It's not all red, the wood itself you can see in this photo is sandalwood for sure.

the wet chips are Vietnamese sinking, verified that was $6.20g

 

[Mr.P]

Shoyeido Kozutsu Agarwood

Fragrant tiny pieces of mostly resin and oil.
When I heat slivers that are mostly resin, the scent differs from more woody pieces,
because the resin starts to cook instead of running away into the wood fibers.

 

[The Scent Guru]

Sometimes a wood that cost in the $40+/g range dissatisfies me because it's not visually active on the warmer, damn it I like bubbles! Anyhow I ground up a piece of fairly pricey Vietnamese and am warming this grind #7 now and getting very familiar, beautiful whisps of spicy florals.

NK Sizuro Vietnamese

A tiny piece which filled my room.
My current favorite.

NK Sizuro Borneo

Kept it at low to medium for quite a while
before I went high heat. Low to medium is it’s sweet spot.

 

[Jazzoid]

Handmade Hindi agarwood/sandalwood incense balls, chopped up and heated on subitism. A dense chocolate, warming and powdery scent.

These were a gift from the perfumer Kashti, will be picking up some more.

Malinao!

 

[Mr.P]

ASO Maroke chips on the subitism set a little bit hot. A kind of dry, clean fungus smell emerges, then a kind of mixed sweet note that brings a sense of perfume, almost patchouli in there, dry a sense of a dusty wood room, sweet toasty wood with a hint of vanillin. Burnt pepper skin like peeling New Mexico peppers on a flame. A subtle but mysterious other-oudiness prevails - very different from my other agarwoods but some sense of ancient oxidized resin is making itself known.

The wood is very soft - like pulp - can split it with a fingernail longways or easily break cross-grain. Maroke wood I think has often spent time under water and I wonder if this is why the wood fiber is so soft and spongy.

nice aroma.

Heating a piece of sinking nha trang that Tony Bolton handpicked for me. One of the reasons I fell in love with heating wood.
