Burn of the Day

[-Renton-]

Some nice Wild Filipino wood that Kareem over at PureOudh gave to me as a gift 6.5g, but much less now. Notes of wild jungle wood, sweet chocolate and creamy, butteriness with a very, very high sweetness but also a kind of sourness:

The smell on my clothes is impeccable, absolutely beautiful!!! Oud-y wood, slight campfire, creamy gourmand and nice ans sweet, and some chocolate!!! And I opened my room door and now the scent is all over the house even the after scent is giving me a super mind buzz, i feel spiritually at peace.

Looking forward to hearing about the Brunei K 🙏

Had my first experience w the Brunei K today using the portable Kangiiten heater.

There are moments where it smells like some straight Kyara from Vietnam, so I think the title for the wood here is aptly chosen. It's certainly not the top end high grade Kyara experience but is quite similar to the more reasonably priced Kyara options Ive smelled.

Im tempted to go ahead and order another jar or 2 just to stock up since the quality to price ratio here is quite good.

The only other Brunei Kyara Ive tried was from Uncle Kai on Etsy and this wood from kangi is superior for a fraction of the price.

I have not tried the Brunei kynam wood from Ensar so maybe someone else here can do a comparison of both and chime in. But again, we're talking about $12 a gram vs $300 a gram....

He hooked me up quite a lot when I was first getting into wood and oils. I wouldn't be where I am now with out his generosity and patience.

Is this Nha Trang?

Brunei sinking from Yusa Aramatics. First time trying this but gotta say this is tasty stuff. A little goes for a long time and starts of with a scent that has a lovely pungent note, as time passes it has other lovely notes. Definitely a special wood! Will try a few more times before a more detailed review but was too nice not to say anything Yet!

Yes and no. Some people genuinely have different margins and different sources. It's not always greed, but of course sometime it can be 🙂

It also depends when the stock was purchased by the supplier and from whom, etc.
