Vietnamese, Tien Phuoc chips on the charcoal that I torched then waited just over 22mins (timed on phone like 22mins and some seconds), then put chips on, and a mica plate to slow some of it down sometimes. Anyway. I was very surprised... I got WILD Kinamic notes, going from what I have experienced from Kyara Enju, Seijudo only, it wasn't like CK notes, unless you can get really, really good CK that is like the wild Kynam in Enju. Notes all together (some chips differed in notes and how they came about but I will just make a list of them), slightly wood, oudiness, quickly transforming into a very sweet, honey notes and red berry notes, sometimes chocolate as well but not a lot, what was more common was the very sweet honey like notes, slightly woody and red berry notes, then a very wild-like kinamic mintiness, and spiciness that would NEARLY physically affect my chest like Enju but not quite, so close though, and notes of kinamic bitterness and sourness, and very, very floral, on almost all the pieces.
It was my most pleasant burn I have had in a LOOOOONG time even when my heater was working and I was heating woods. I forgot about this wood, it is very good.

Sulaym CK. Getting facefulls of vapour from this stuff. Has been going for a good few days now. I put it on straight after the ASO CK was finished and it's just as nice.

Brunei K
Today’s piece opened with sharp notes,
I might have to ease up on the temps next time, but as usual, nice scents.

Ramadan Cambodi - ASO.
Not the prettiest pieces of wood, however the aroma is out of this world which is the most important thing.
Resinous-oily Oudiness, buttery soft leather, cherry / red fruits, the vanilla-coumarin bottom note is rich & decadent. There’s a rounded dense sweetness here which is my favourite nuance when heating wood.
I’ve been using Ramadan Cambodi all week, considering the price it’s ideal for daily use. $65 USD for 10g of wild Cambodian wood with this scent profile is a great deal.
If you like the sweet resinous cherry profile of Crassna woods, you won’t regret this one!

I’m glad you’ve ended up enjoying Brunei K, I think it’s great wood. Initially, I wasn’t perceiving the variation in profile you first mentioned. However, recently during a session I put a chip on the sub & aroma was definitely different from the previous piece. While the previous piece was Kinamic in the top note followed by a dense red fruit sweetness & a slightly musky Oudiness the other piece smelt more Indonesian with a black resinous note, more jungle green-mossy & much less of the Kinamic top. Both pieces still very nice.
So far in my experience, Brunei K smells great at low temp, but once it gets too hot it can exhibit a harsh note like you mentioned. Also, smelling right from the jar at room temp - a beautiful aroma.
Brunei wood, it always impresses!

Some very affordable ck wood i got from Mesoud today. Ck is ck, but this has a nice spiciness / edge in the opening that is missing in some of my more confectionery ck woods.
On the right is a fantastic smelling sandalwood knot that mesoud gifted with my purchase. Really nice solid beautiful smelling sandalwood nugget. I should probably carve this into a pendant instead of burning it.

Maunamoku Nha Trang char
A lot of my other oudhs are mixed lots,
but these Nha Trang char is a single batch.
It’s a good feeling to know what to expect😊
Kept it at low at first, and very gradually increased the heat……yummmmm.

using a 1.5" wood chisel I cut a small slab of Fili log and place it upon the subitism. bubbles don't ooze but it does have a very nice aroma permeating my home office as I read scripture for the morning.

Shoyeido Matsu grade square
Another chip that smells like Sri Lankan Walla Patta at the opening.
I wonder how the Japanese Incense houses would classify this type of Indo.

How do you know what wood to post about if most of your woods are mixed?

By mixed lot I mean one type of agarwood, but different profiles, different trees.
Like my Nippon Kodos, Shoyeidos, and Yamadamatsu…. Many small pieces, certainly not from one tree, and you can tell by the smell. Also the Brunei K, all Brunei, but definitely 3 or 4 different lots.

Thick layer of resin in today’s piece,
so I kept the heat modest and extended the session😊

Kangiiten - Pontianak
Mmmh didnt impress me 🥲 Resinous oudy smell with slight spiciness but nothing special from 80° to 180°. It does offer more on higher temps but still nothing special
Kangiiten - Brunei K
This is a blast!
Pops up with florals and a rich vanilla around 80°. Higher temperatures give a more dark deep scent with less florals and more vanilla and a slight kinamic touch. After a while of heating it, it tickles and buzz your nose.
I enjoyed it way more than the Pontianak and the picture is from my heating session of the Brunei K. I should shave more next time 😋
