Shoyeido agarwood for Kodutu
Coming back to it for more sweet resin at the base.

I think they look legit, muhassan maroke is usually smaller and more uniform in shape, and also uniformly shiny. Mind you if you ended up paying about 10 USD/gram for muhassan then I'd be super upset, that stuff is dirt cheap. Nah I think this is legit at least from the pictures you've shared, there's a heterogeneity of shiny and matte areas on these chips! Best part is, you can enjoy maroke on a much higher heat than normal pieces of agarwood!Not technically burn of the day because I don’t have anything to light them up with, but I got these killer-looking Maroke chips today here in Salalah.
Paid 50 EUR or so for a half tola. They actually smell really oudy even at room temperature.
Do you guys think they look legit?View attachment 52401
Unless it’s the soft soil Merauke you occasionally see, I’ve also noticed that it enjoys high temperatures. I guess that’s why it’s ubiquitous in the GCC, considering the charcoal heating method & fumigation.I think they look legit, muhassan maroke is usually smaller and more uniform in shape, and also uniformly shiny.

A beautiful piece of some sinking Silani, I purchased from Hamza @ Kymya. So resinated the wood is basically a black chunk. Seriously, some of the very best wood I’ve ever heated.
Off the the top you get the blue-green oceanic-petrichor Walla Patta signature, before quickly going into a white floral, salty-suede-ambergris heart notes. Tropical sweetness & honey hint at what is to follow in the base. An expansive, opulent, royal display of everything I love about Agarwood. Heavy vanillic sweetness, coumarin, smooth leather, a slab of thick oozing Agarwood resin. I only use small pieces as it’s expensive & rare wood, but it gives you so much from a small chip, a hallmark of true sinking grade wood.
