Burn of the Day

[Oudamberlove]

Yamadamatsu SS Aloeswood

Today’s slivers opened like
sweet perfume from Papua.

 

[The Scent Guru]

Brunei microcarpa, wow, I guess if I had more of this it'd be among my favorite scent profile, certainly distinctive. A generous sample courtesy of @Al Hashimi

 

[Oudamberlove]

NK Borneo

Nice strong hit today,
lots of resin and aroma
with a hint of pine.

 

[Obada]

Kangiiten - Cultivated Kinam Cloud
Its a strong beautiful pleasing incense. A quarter of the cloud is enough to fumigate the room (it smokes quite a bit).
Somehow floral sweet spicy a bit of everything. I broke the cloud by mistake but its good. I can let the half burn and fumigate the whole house.

I'm still working on this piece, wow I really enjoy this example!

Shoyeido Matsu square cut
One in ten pieces are usually not impressive, but most are quite aromatic,
today’s piece was very satisfying.

Ever tried the goku-hin grade of the Shoyeido aloeswood? The sweet aroma of the raw chips penetrate through the sealed package.

No I haven’t tried the Goku-hin grade, nor the Take & the Johin either.

Understandable, since the price of Goku-hin doubled after they ran out of their 10 gramme packets. I daren't even open the sealed packet much less actually burn a piece. Sniffing the packet is enough, those chips are explosively fragrant. From what I know Johin and Take is nothing to write home about, but from what you say about Matsu I'm considering getting that or Yamadamatsu SS so I don't just pile up inordinately expensive wood as collector's pieces and actually get more experience with doing Koh-do and listening to the scent.

Black meat Mysore on the heater today smells amazing!!! Been waiting on this log for a few months . It’s no small thing getting these big old logs out of India and to America!!! Unbelievable scent !!!
No doubt Indian sandalwood is supreme!!

 

[Justiciar Parfums]

Sinking Leyte from a Japanese purveyor gently heated in a koh-do cup.
I get vanilla, menthol (cleared my sinuses a bit), slight mineral notes, a savory saltiness very close to the nose, and a seductive resinous note that isn't unpleasantly plasticky, probably because the heat isn't unreasonably high.

 

[iori]

another run of blue oil kyara
strong orchid, pristine milky notes, gentle bitter, spice tenge, unique sweetness
at 120c bitterness and spice more clear and stronger, the tail fragrance strong bitterness that blind nose like green oil kyaras.

Red oil Manakyara
ripe wood...with rich refreshing sweetness, frankincense, honey, fruity, bitter, spicey with floral touch.

Fusen red soil
flamboyant floral fragrance with fruity candy like sweetness, mellow, milky, watermelon, almond

Yamadamatsu SS Aloeswood

Today’s piece starts off perfumey,
then it gets oudy.
Yummm

Some hand picked maroke and also Jaya from oud lab this morning with my coffee . The wood selection from oud lab is the most amazing quality !
Anyone who is a regular in the realm of AGARWOOD heating and fumigation that hasn’t tried the wood from
@oudlab needs to check out the quality and service and selection this house offers. I’m a big fan of Abu T !!!

Sultanul Oud Hindi Sidiq

Sweet berries, dry hay, dry wood, and resins. I can’t help but think “oud oil”.

 

[iori]

Chenla
bold and deep, complex wood..with strong bitterness hit throat hard, cool, floral, milky and dried berries

 

[Mousse de Chene]

Fili Fu Sen - The Oud Lab.
Red soil Filli, a delicious sweet profile that punches far above it’s weight. The chips are small, but full of oil.

Vanilla, caramel, spice, dry fruits, rich Oud resin.

$90 for 10g is a no brainer.
AT is the master curator, his woods & oils are some of the very best & suit my tastes perfectly.
I love everything about TOL; the quality & aesthetic signature, the packaging, customer service.

 

[Oudstudent]

East Timor sandalwood age 60-100 years+. The smell of sandalwood isn't particularly strong. The dominant note is grapey

 

[Mr.P]

That’s wild. I’ve never smelled sandalwood like this. I have one log (from India supposedly) that has some sweet floral elements that stand out at first.
