Burn of the Day

[The Scent Guru]

I'm still massaging the embers of my Viet burn 🙂

Update on KZ Brunei Microcarpa

I have to keep this Oudh on low heat to barely medium. It starts like Brunei K, but from medium to high takes a different turn, exposing some less than desirable notes.

Lesson learned:
Each wood is unique, and requires its own temperature range to get the best out of it.

Purple Oil Kyara
Purple, Ambery, floral, bitter and sweeet, mind numbing stuff!

 

[Alamande]

Hindi Suyufi - Oudique

Really good value here at 30 USD for 5 grams. Getting a nice waft of fermented berries and conserves. Think blueberries approaching their sell-by date. Very potent for low price.

This little piece has been heated for a few hours and still has life left in it.

The best CK ~ from Al Shareef Oudh.

Chinese Kynam - Fawn Horn

Got my supply replenished. Yum.

Jayapura bead scrap from The Tea Guru aka Guru aromatix. Very fragrant chips, I use pliers to break up into tiny particles and simmer on low heat. Piercing florals

KZ Hainan Baotou

Lovely honey floral, pollen,
then wood and incense.

Hindi Moori - Radiah AlQurashi

It’s the first time I procure this Oud and it won’t be the last.

It’s an innocent and dry-looking Oud but it’s full of resinous goodness when burned that brings out sweet, warm, dense earthiness, smoke, and incense qualities. It puts me into a calm and contemplative mood.

"Prince" Kyara
Top 5 of all time. today I'm smelling TOL Kanbi Koh when the temperature is around 100c to 110c, I need to heat it again then swipe Kanbi Koh afterwards to test the resemblance, it was extremely close.

One of my friends I met on Facebook (to whom I’m indebted for getting me into this entire world of agarwood products) asked me if I was interested in some woods he was gonna source.

he’s not a professional dealer, but his products have been impeccable - top of the line, so I jumped in. It took some time, but it was worth it..

I got a grab bag, including 15 g of this great Sri Lankan wood that filled our room tonight with warm soothing aromas.

These chips sound like they’re made of plastic when dropped due to the resin, and I feel that they are older wood (and wild?) due to the thickness and the different types of shapes in the bag.

In any case a delight. From this one bag, I should be able to get 100+ sessions. I’d say it’s worth it!!!

Some decent chunks of wood there mate.

Agreed, my friend. I hope he occasionally sources more.

Nha Trang superior - Aroma Sublime. Pure creamy vanilla. 🤩🤤

Gyokushodo Phoenix Agarwood

I got some nice complex notes🥰

I'm still massaging the embers of my Viet burn 🙂

And I'm still trying to get good resin out of my woods. I've taken all the advice here, warming up the wood at 10 volts, slowly increasing it. I get nothing unless it's at 17 volts, and then the wood chars a bit, so it burns, and that does not smell good. I highly recommend NOT buying agarwood from https://enfleurage.com/agarwood-chips/. Pay more to avoid disappointment.

Sometimes it's just crap wood. When buying outside of the forum, without having tried a sample first, it will always be a gamble.

That’s what I am burning right now, it’s one single piece and I got it from Habzoud (I think 4 years ago) , what a quality?
Just touching it and you got your hands scented.
