Norway Spruce resin from Apothecary's Garden
it emits a warm and comforting scent that would be to enjoy in cold weather.
sort of like an amber, sweet, and gently woodsy scent that fills up the room with a distinctive coniferous freshness.
as if I came to rest in a cabin, deep in the woods on a rainy day, I feel profound calmness and relaxation.
it's a beautiful resin...

I don’t remember which batch, but the chips are almost all resin, over 95%. A steal at the price I paid.
Classic profile with certain fruits and flowers, some cooling, resin notes, oudiness, and at drydown there’s some notes that I get from Merauke and Papuan “top notes”.

Good quality, Cultivated Hindi Assam from mesOUD.
Around 5 chips burned/heated on coal.
Notes were very nice: Very woody, sweet and some sour notes sometimes too, barny sweet milky notes with hay in the undertones, lovely leather notes with tobacco and smokiness of tobacco, sometimes a barny, sour/bitter, sweet honey note with fruits and herbaceous green notes, dark and bitter chocolate, and sweet and creamy and milky chocolate, some milky oat notes, and overall a very woody character.
Nice wood, and unbeatable for the price.

Powdery, Inky bitter" love this note so much", lots of flowers, lilacs, peonies, sweet and little musky the notes is thick yet elegant !
Listening to this and "Warbler's first song" remind me of what i read in kodo notes, That those type of Kyara's have comprehensive and complete scent, and rather than scent coming to your nose you get a sensation of being enveloped by the atmosphere.

Filipino Kangiiten wood;
Burnt 3 or 4 chips, one or the other, can't remember if it was 4 or 3, most likely 3... I think (lol).
Lovely notes of sweetness, creaminess, sourness, very woody other times not very woody at all, other times as woody as a forest, sweet/sour/bitter medicinal, medicinal camphor minty menthol notes with intense sweetness with a zang to it, creamy chocolate, "woody chocolate", camphoric, camphor tree wood notes, spiciness, balsamic, resinous, oudiness and some saltiness... I think that's as much as I can remember right now, was a great burn for 3-4 chips.

It is noticeable that the oil in this pieces, is between the wood and does not bubble on top.
Could this indicate that oil/resins have been injected/ pressed into the wood?

No, it is from Kangiiten, very reputable source and wouldn't sell woods like this. It is the way I cut it, it was kinda like a triangle, so the resin coming out the middle was because of that particular shape. The other pieces sometimes dont even bubble, or if they do, they bubble very lightly. Also it doesnt bubble on top because I am using charcoal w/ thick mica, so the only part getting enough heat is the bottom part 🙂. Hope that gives you some more information.
Do you know of Kangiiten? These woods are bead scraps supplied and sourced by KyaraZen, these are 100% legit woods. @Oudamberlove bought like 17 bottles of their Brunei Kynam.

Agarwood, aloeswood, eaglewood, agaru, and gaharu are all synonyms for this resinous, fragrant, and valuable heartwood of mostly Aquilaria spp. Owing to their widespread use in medicinal, aromatic, and religious purposes.

They are the company that host Prof. Incense sticks :
They are completely and utterly trust worthy, and have a long (good) track record of being ethical, sustainable, and high quality products.
How long have you been into this journey? Maybe longer than me, but I dont have other duties to take care of so, because of that, I have a lot of time on my hands to talk to people, share experiences, and get involved quite heavily, even this forum it felt like I came here and all of a sudden I was a known member lol 😂.

Oh and btw, that is mostly resin bubbles (of course it will have some oil in it, though). I could be wrong but oil, USUALLY, doesn't bubble like this, but instead seeps out (like kynam, I think, for example) or evaporates, and ofc a small amount in the bubbling resin. So when I have a chip that is flat and is got just as much resin as that piece did, it will bubble all across the flat surface evenly. Just a chip that has been cut into a triangle type shape and because not enough heat was getting the top (I would actually say that they are sides and not top, as it is a pyramid structure) the resin wasnt bubbling, but when I was done with that side of the chip, I turned it on the side of the unburnt/heated sides the resin stuck on my mica plate, so to clarify, yes, when I turned the "triangle" upside down and on the sides they also bubbled, but just onto my mica and stuck to it.
If you are familiar with Kangiiten, you wouldn't have said that they injected resin/oil into the wood or pressed woods together, as you would know much better (not saying this in a rude way just dont know another word to use haha).
For example this is a flat piece of Filipino:

Okay, maybe you understand me wrong or i tought that everybody understand my question. For me it's not about Kangiiten or whatever company, for me its about what i saw in your video.
So my question is not an assumption, it's a question.
If you are confident about that there are no oils/resins injected or pressed in the wood, than you answered my question on behalf of you.
Apart from the above, I don't think it's rude to be critical if there is something wrong with a product, even if it is a respectable company.
There are numerous companies on the internet where the majority of people respect them very much because of the "quality", but which appear to sell low quality every now and then.
To be clear, lest anyone misunderstand this, this is not a packaged criticism of Kangiiten, this is a very general statement.
In fact, I think that by being critical at appropriate times, you contribute to maintaining high quality.
If we all adopt the attitude that everything is fine and close our eyes, then we shouldn't complain later when all kinds of junk is offered on the market.
Finally, this is not a criticism of you @-Renton- either. No disrespect whatsoever
Could just be the resin formation, the hot oils would have no were to go apart from either end. The top would be cooler than the centre and bottom. Just my quick observation on the video!

Yes, I am confident that the wood has not been injected or pressed together. From the pieces I have dealt with from 2 batches. Its just the way its cut. 🙂

Mesoud ck chips I bought a while back on the burner. As I've mentioned these have a nice combination of the sweet side of cultivated kinam but also a little bit more of some dark jungly something or other going on. Extremely pleasant profile for scenting spaces and the value for me is really tremendous.
Some day soon I plan to really study the one good kyara wood i have (a gram of baieido green kyara i got in 2007) to get a better sense for how the ck material compares to the more expensive baieido wood. It's fascinating reading some of the descriptions that some of the kyara collectors here share. I enjoy this cultivated material so much and it's interesting to imagine all of the subtleties that are waiting to be discovered

A quality that matches the value we pay for, wishing you many great experiences. For me, it's because many traders mislabel and use CK types to sell under the name of wild kyara, which is why we have some prejudice against it. However, in terms of commercial viability and scalability in fragrance products, it has done very well instead of using wild kyara, which is expensive and not accessible or understood by everyone.

There are many perceptible layers in this room that I'm filling with the mesoud CK right now… ethereal floral, rich bitter-sweet oudiness, some spicy hot woodiness and vanillin starting to emerge... and from past experience these will continue for a long time on low heat.
I'm am in fragrance up to my eyeballs but definitely not in a situation to indulge in collecting wild kyara. I'm working on it tho haha 🙂
I have too many hobbies and other expenses to dip another toe in that pond but it's great to know that it's there. once I've spent a month studying that Green kyara I will see how things look
In the meanwhile I am beyond thrilled to be able to use kinam as daily incense.
If you like the idea of cultivated kinam and something with a little bit of complexity to it, it seems like a great choice.
