Burn of the Day

[TheOudDood]

SMoud - Assam Sinking grade Oud (post distillation)

Smoky sweetness and leathery spice. Will be my last use of this. Can’t be sure what it is.View attachment 50347

Looks fake and there’s no way chunks of wood are “post distillation” material.

Maybe they took post distillation material and compressed it back together and added some aroma chemicals to it. That’s the most likely thing.

Yeah I get that now. Post-distillation doesn’t makes sense.

I don’t know what you’re referring to. His page on Etsy?

Correct

mesOUD Pursat

Floral resin with a hint of spice
then oudiness and wood and
a touch of fruit flesh.
It smells similar to Kangiiten’s
Pursat Select powder.

TasFragrance - Nha Trang White Kynam powder (batch A). Very sweet. On low temp has a very recognizable CK scent but as soon as I hit 100 C it changes entirely into something new. Almost pure vanilla.

Chenla - Nha Trang Tocbong - Laos Pusong

Great regions with great scents! I want more of the tocbong i have, so hard to get Top notch Qinansis species of it like this.

Correct

Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t think that people actually sell post distilled stuff. Much appreciated.

Do you think I’m interpreting it correctly?

Do you think I’m interpreting it correctly?

Yes. After asking the vendor and getting community feedback. You are correct.

It's hard to get better than this.

Hainan slices. Smells like many high grade Hainan oils. Really good especially considering how cheap this wood was.

Does it smell any different to a Hainan CK? I feel like sometimes sellers, particularly on Etsy play on words a bit to make a sale. They might say it's a Hong Kong wood or a Hainan agarwood when in reality it's a CK because in Hainan especially all woods coming out of there are from a plantation ( unless it old stock in which case it would be more expensive). Hainan seems to be the home of CK these days. Does that make sense?

Yeah that makes sense and I believe Im familiar enough to discern the differences. I don’t think this is merely Hainan ck, or if it is, then it smells completely different. I don’t care for CK really at all and find the aroma a bit off putting to be honest.

You are spot on about the miswording and misleading info on etsy especially. So many things are being mislabeled, it’s unfortunate.

This is the wood in question and it’s likely cultivated hainan wood of some type but doesn’t smell like CK or kynam whatsoever.

Ive seen multiple other sellers selling this same wood for 10x the price, Uncle Kai and Crystal DeLuna being some of them.

I'm a little confused because it literally says kinam on the bottle and at that price it has to be cultivated. Maybe you have smelled some poor quality batches of kinam in the past? There are different colors and chemotypes and so on. The current batch I have smells much better than the first shavings I was buying. 🙂

I thought that was the one you were heating. You put me onto that seller a little while ago. I've got a couple of things from them in my cart but haven't made a purchase yet but yeah.. I have been confused about what they mean exactly because I don't want to buy anymore CK, particularly if it's mislabeled. I trust your nose though, so it's interesting that you're saying it smells like something else.
