Mysore Bogwood (sandal) - Kyara Zen

Finally having some luck with this - I was kinda disappointed when I first got it, but tonight it has been worth the effort. I got a sharp knife and made a pile of shavings, then Started at 14.8 volts. Vanilla custard/creme anglaise notes with a squeeze of lemon and what I’m tempted to describe as whisky-barrel woodiness, like vanillin-rich new oak.

The whole pieces have a pleasantly tart, lemony smell when you warm them in your hand.

That's great advice! I was disappointed with mine as well and haven't gone back to it since. I'll give this a go.
 
burned some frankincense the other day and added some amazing green kyara chips also.....incredible outcome. the perfect combination for kyaras that lack spicy. the ones that are mostly sweet and bitter go perfect with the frankincense! make sure to add the right amounts tho. i put a tiny piece of frank about 2mm x 2mm x 2mm and the 4 chips of kyara were about 3mm x 3mm x 2mm. had this on a sub in my car and left it there 2hours. when i returned the car was baked and it smells amazing now every time i am driving. will be fumigating the car systemically lol

Fumigating the whip is a real joy - leaving the car to do errands and coming back to an unexpected divine aroma is to die for (not really unexpected, but I do forget that I did)
 
Time for a little bit of fine sandalwood. Got these in 2001 from Yamada Matsu. I don't think I've gone through more than a single entire slice since purchased, so it's time to start enjoying!

I found that Frankincense Occulta goes very well to add some spicy muskiness to the lactonic sweetness of the chips
