Burn of the Day

[Maunamoku]

Densely floral Cambodian
“The milkweed’s delicate closet had been fractured,
Filling the air with rumors.
…
An avalanche of white carnations
Is drifting across your voice”

"Ko of Fortune" Kyara - or as @iori named it "Snow Lotus" Kyara
Ice, sweet, pistachio, tahini, vanilla, unique and delicious.

We're going to run out of spring water in the USA before they actually run out of CK...

Lmao, I know. I mean on their website. They've only got purple CK right now.

Myitkyina Ko Burma 2019 from @YusaAromatics

Candylike, clean, maybe slight lactic ferment, glossy... crassna if I had to guess. Just a first swipe here, more thoughts as I get to know it.

Lovely piece today,
first…the Cambodi opening,
then the fragrant resin all the way down.

 

[Quintillus]

Coming home from a few weeks abroad to a session of Green Kyara. Soft sweet and delicate at 60 degrees and very loud with more bittersweet , some salty and spiciness at higher temps. I get definite relaxing quality from this wood. Very beautiful ❤️.

I'll leave this one up to interpretation 👀

Vietnamese Antnest fumigation, Prolog Coffee’s “ Tekangu Ngunguru”. The notes are singing in an unspoken language, transmitting messages of cool stone and living earth. I am learning to fly without wings.

Al Hashimi Mindanao Malaki

My last three small nuggets🙁

Similar to Tawi Tawi,
a complex mix of herbs, spices, vanilla,
oils, cream, florals, oudiness, woods,
resin, hints of tobacco and medicine.

Sarawak (link) from @Al Shareef Oudh ... wow! I'm on low heat and the room has filled with such a sweet aroma - words fail. I really need to learn a whole new vocabulary (perhaps studying a Fragrance Wheel will help) but there is sweet, spicy and wood aromas. I am now experimenting with large collection of other woods and will be able to share more of a contrast, but honored to have this as my first introduction to "real" agarwood.

 

[TheOudDood]

white CK wood from Al Hind that was used to distill the white CK oil from sometime last year. Not too bad on low temp.

 

[Be en Foret]

Looking for an agarwood with which to enfleurage Narcissus. This cultivated Green Kinam is, so far, my favorite. Sweet, milky and a bit green as a background to the flowers.

A little sourness in today’s piece.

CK from @Al Shareef Oudh - on a low heat, the wood is slowly turning a little bit darker and I have just this lovely sweet aroma teasing me… Coming and going.

Edit; turned up the heat another 10% and now I’m getting a wonderful spice under the sweetness. I can’t describe the smells accurately enough, but these are literally transporting me to another time and place.

Almost like I have a nostalgia for something I didn’t actually experience myself… Hundreds or thousands of years ago. I can’t say more than that. It’s just amazing!

The nostalgia for something you haven't experienced is I think part of the peculiar beauty of some of the really deep hitting aromatic materials. Very nicely put.
