Most of the cultivated Kinam is actually from Guangdong- which is on mainland China. Marketed as “Hainan” - but not actually the correct scent profile.

I've got a houseguest so I've been heTing some maunamoku ant wood that i got a while back. Very nice sweet confectionery broadly appealing and sophisticated aroma. It's been a while since I have heated some of this. This is more of a special occasion burn as opposed to the CK I generally reach for

What is the scent profile of true Hainan CK? I have a contact for true Hainan CK, and good Guangdong too.

Green CK slivers I got last September/November and tried to use coal for them 😆, doesn't work, too thin, so today I took a tub and the Green CK slivers and emptied a ton out onto a piece of paper and started making them flat and not curled like they come naturally like. I still have this amount left
So I have a lot, and a little goes a long way as you can tell by this photo, this is how much produced a strong effect at 165c and I done a 1 hour session and it was still giving aroma, but started to drop in performance and started to give off silent notes
NOTES: Soft, kinamic, strong cooling mint, sweetness, creamy, milkiness, vanilla, vanilla milkshake and ice cream (slightly, more milkshake because of the milkiness), undertones of spiciness, some fleeting watermelon notes (I think anyway, didnt last long enough for me to be 100% sure), woodiness, some subtle chocolate notes, then as the hour went past the mintiness started fading and a decently strong spiciness came along that tickled my nose, and spices and herbs, with some earthiness...
I wonder what the next notes will be when I use it again. My Wild Kyara is in the country so should be here this week or next, most likely tomorrow or Friday, latest next Monday, but it shouldn't be that late, and I this CK will, again, grow old and get dusty 🤣... but named wild Kynam pieces I am getting will of course out bid it lmao.

You could use a tiny sliver for Mon Koh,
or a whole square to scent a room.
I seldom Mon Koh😊

Some Wild Kyara - Plum Blossoms in the Wind -
Amount used
Notes to my newbie wild kyara nose: Frankincense, fruitiness, pop cola notes that go between dr pepper notes because of the citrusy frankincense note, spiciness, cinnamon, semi sweet, little bit of sourness maybe (? not sure), resinous

Nice Vietnamese profile with melon notes during the heart and base, and reminds me a little bit of Ken’s Golden Triangle oudh.
Followed by KZ’s premium Brunei heartwood, which is like an amped-up Brunei K.

Lol, that's a massive piece, how long will that even take to burn? 😂😂😂 Any reason's why you didn't chop it up into 0.1g piece?

Massive piece? not sure what you talking about, This is barely 0.1.

That's and the piece after draining its life.

Ohhhh, it looked big, was an illusion lol. You must have it zoomed in and I mistook it for a piece bigger than it actually is haha. 😆Massive piece? not sure what you talking about, This is barely 0.1.

Smells so Oud
Kangiiten Brunei K. Haven't really enjoyed this wood as much as other people have been claiming themselves but I now realise I simply hadn't got it hot enough on the other occasions. 224 degress and I can finally hear it voice! Lovely.

Brunei K from Kangiiten.
I can see some kyaraesque elements to this wood and it’s really smelling great on this Kangitten heater. Must have gotten a good piece from the jar as some have remarked that it can be hit or miss.
Either way, very nice quality wood for a low price.

The correct temperature can really make a huge difference. I have some woods that actually smell kind of foul if they are not heated up enough

This is so true. Also why I've left the Brunei K alone for a good while now. I knew there must be more to it. Now I just need to remember this temp setting lol. @TheOudDood where on the same page today on either side of the world! Nice!

the blue or middle setting on the kangiiten heater seems to work quite well for this wood. I also cut it into tiny slices which ive found helps quite a lot.

It’s a big difference. But since almost all the stuff people are getting is from
Guangdong - sadly I think most folks don’t know. Probably wouldn’t even understand why one type smells different from the other. The other being the genuine Hainan.

I remember someone here selling legit Hainan kinam, do you remember who? Was it you??
