This time I get fennel, medicine, fruity oud, resin, a hint of cream, and a freshness vibe.

Do you find the shoyeido squares to be worth what they're asking for them? At $35 a gram international it's a hard sell, though I have tried them and they were good quality

A hard sell indeed. I guess if I never tried it, I might pay that price, but just once, not to stock up. I paid $15 a gram buying them from Japan through a friend, before the price increase, and with a good exchange rate (which is still good btw).
So I’m all stocked-up😊

Nice that's a lot more reasonable, enjoy them!

Wild West Malaysian wood by Kangiiten.
3-4 chips.
Notes: Old antique woody notes, super sweet, fizzy cola notes with and without a sour red cherry note (cherry cola 🤣), bitter, sour, and sweet notes, minty notes, muskiness... etc.
Also burned some Philippines today as well before finally getting up to do daily things... as in, come on the PC 🤣.

Sinking grade Philippines agarwood(Aquilaria Cumingana) from @alhashimi.oud is a excellent specimen that showcases resinous scent of agarwood.
its deeply creamy white floral bouquet comes with luscious sweetness and everlasting resinous depth. it also has some herbal, green foliage like quality. so it doesn't feel too base note heavy.
it's not shy from high temperature and can continuously gives off intoxicating scent for a long time.
as alwasy, Al Hashimi delivers wonderful agarwood at excellent price point.
5g $250
10g $450
20g $900

Aged (as in aged even further by me after I got this wood on September last year) Organic Black Shin - Kyara.
I was disturbed during my session and was quarter to half way through my second piece, so I only heated 1 chip on the ashy coal with a very sturdy, thick mica. Was still delightful, and now, after cutting bits that I thought were okay for charcoal, which they weren't, still too big lol, could have made this wood last me till this time 2025 if I knew at the start, now I think itll last me till around start of this winter maybe December, this hobby does have a steep learning curve for sure haha.
Anyway, a very small piece (for this type of kyara, ofc it would be very large for wild kyara, and you wouldn't burn 100% legit wild kyara like this anyway, as we all know you would use a heater or Kodo cup ofc, but this type of Organic Shin Kyara can be used on ashy charcoal (w/mica) without feeling too guilty as it is much cheaper and more available, and a picture I have saved that language scent posted, about how much wild kyara you need per session, is only suitable for a heater as it is such a small amount but full of fragrance, that I can only imagine currently, I will attach that image below if you haven't seen it) of this Shin Kyara lasted just around 30 mins on the coal with a mica, I would guess (the first picture attachment) the piece was max 0.1 to 0.15g.
The notes I got were- sweet soft mintiness to start, that quickly fades, I then started to get some really spicy notes, then the sweetness came back after a few minutes with the spiciness still there but a lot more subdued, spicy and sweet, with a dark, spicy chocolate note, the spiciness and just basic sweetness would play this game of popping in and out of each other and having an ethereal dance, then combining every so often with the sweet, but yet spicy, bitter/sweet dark chocolate, then notes of oudiness (as in traditional a traditional agarwood, wood and resin note), spicy candy notes, spicy and sweet candy notes, some hints of sourness too but not that dominant. As it developed the spicy note went waaaaay into the background and I started getting some lovely, sweet, dripping honey notes with beautiful floral notes with spring water floral notes as well, nearer the end of the burn, the starting notes and ending notes were pretty evenly distributed, around 10-15 mins of the starting notes that I mention at the start, and the rest of the notes were the ones I just mentioned at the end of this write up.
Very lovely Kynam for such a good price of £180-200 for 25 grams.
And it just gets better and better as it ages, I don't burn these often, and have another jar with very tiny bits for when I get my heater for my wild stuff when I get it. So, I will definitely have some of the normal chips left by September/November and I wanna keep a good 3-4 pieces the size of the picture till mid 2025.
I am sorry if this was too long and convoluted.

Very oudy like a qadeem oil. Medium tone woody scent with a resinous core. On higher heat an antique oud profile with hints of berries.

Yes, I bought 4grams of this wood and still have some chips left. Definitely going to buy 10grams in the not too distant future.

Some white kinam slices - a sample Al Hind Oud. This is producing the classic cultivated kinam profile that I love, and there's also something more complex and robust going on that comes through. I find this very appealing because I'm buying some buyingI find this very appealing because I'm buying some of what I love about typical agarwood richness with the sweet appeal of CK profile
Physically and aromatically akin to the kinam chips that I bought from mesoud, and less like those from olfactory and maunamoku. i'm glad I have both types in my stash. At some point I have to put in a little time and energy to try to sort out the different colors of kinam. I have not really pursued that yet even though i have all i need to do a study: baieido green kyara, green, black, purple, and white CK wood. One of these days... I have smell them all multiple times but have never done side-by-side careful comparisons.

Kangiiten Pontianak (West Kalimantan) tiny chips of wood, that's what they gave me lol, the chips are tiny so when I put some on the coal with a mica I just select a good amount of chips of around, 5-8 chips at a time and just grab them with my fingers and kind of carefully sprinkle them on the mica, and I done that 3 times this session.
Notes of either slightly woody, or full on antique woodiness with a sweet and musky presence, then common very sweet notes, creaminess, creamy chocolate, sweet red berries and cherries, other fruity notes, fruity infused chocolate cake with cherries all over the top, lovely vanillic notes, an undertone of sourness (very quiet), and lovely resin rich oudy woody goodness.
I didn't like this wood at first, now I am opening up to it, and its quite nice, and straight forward. I would just love it if they gave me big chunks like the Malaysian, Brunei and Filipino, so I can cut them myself to 0.1-0.2g pieces.
Anyway, hope everyone is well 🙂.

Some cultivated kinam @language scent sold me along with some kyara.
Happy I decided to dust off my subitism, because heating the CK made me a whole lot more productive finishing stuff for work.
