Burn of the Day

[Alamande]

Sub was on all evening.

Oudique Hindi Jura (I think it was) - actually banger stuff, wish I got more. Makes we want to stock up on Hindi woods.
mesOUD Sintang - finished the last of this generously gifted chip. Shows well at low-medium, but on medium-high it starts to project oudy berries into the room.

Then a big pinch of SQ Bakhoor to round the session off.

Yashboob Oud Silani
Need to get more of this. All I got was these two chips and I have been picking tiny pieces off them. Really smells like my Sri Lankan oils as it begins to heat up. I have tried perhaps twenty different oud woods since I got my subitism, and this is the only one so far where where is a clear olfactory link for me between the scent of the wood and what I would expect a distilled oil from that region to smell like.

Shoyeido agarwood for their Kodutu heater

Time and time again, these resin laden morsels have proven to be very pleasurable, so glad to have them🥰

Aroma Sublime Kampot Char

Medicinal, nutty, woody, with a touch of fruit and resin.

Sulaym - CK - Thanks to @Olfactory Nomad for being able to try this. Easy going background burn.

Lovely🥰

Sinking Jayapura, exquisite aroma.

mesOUD Pursat Char

Again! 🤣

 

[holy-wood]

ASO Ramadan Oud Nagaland (char) on my new ceramic heater, very warm buttery cacao and spicy leather popping up on low heat. Not vastly different from heating on the coal, though more space to focus on the aroma and not as much “smoke” covering the nuances.

mesOUD Pursat Char

Again! 🤣

I think you have a bottomless pit of this stuff 😄

I had back to back sessions with some of the powders from my TAS sampler. I smelled Agarwood from Nha Trang and Brunei, both Batch A. I started at 125C, and worked my way up to 200C. About 3 distinct phases for each I'd say. They seemed to have a commonality around the 200C mark, this really warm dark chocolate without bitterness, but a vanillic sweetness instead. I'm gonna start using my burner on a daily basis now.

Moss Banquet Managa...this is efinitely kyara but I can see why it is used as managa. it is a NEON green sweet/bitter elegant moss to the moon with some limoncello notes here and there with some herbal underline. in the backround and in a shy kind of way there is some indescribable complex notes that i am so thirsty for but they play hide and seek with me i have started to notice these on the second session and it is what made me fall in love with this wood. the first session i was completely depressed with this wood for the price i had got it. but this happens a lot some wood shows true colors after 3-5 sessions and some time spaced between them. incredible wood....this is the type of wood that has me excited for days even if i dont heat anything for days i will have this experience on replay subconsciously making me feel this awe and happiness that i have such a chunk of wood.

I prefer the Baotou, but this is good also.

AlMokhlif Oud - Bengali (double super)

First time I try Bengali oud chips. It's a steady burn, doesn’t burn out quickly, has a clove, anise type scent. Like I'm in a hippy library and they’ve put some exotic incense. I really love it.

Nippon Kodo Sizuro Borneo

A bit of pine notes today.

 

[oudcast]

I finally tried some white kinam shavings from TAS. Correction, I tried a singular shaving curl. Lovely, lovely stuff. Regular burn sessions have greatly improved the quality of my life overall. I must say, I don't think I could blindly identify the different colours like purple vs yellow vs white. I expected more of a difference but I think the identities lie in the nuances, which I don't yet have the nose for. I am also not studying them, just decompressing in a cloud of bliss.

KZ Tarakan Beccariana
Pieces full of resin, but what I get is mostly resin notes with subtle flavors. The opening is interesting though, hints of floral perfume, then I’m reminded of Sumatran Oud oil. Base notes smell a little like burnt resin🫤

KZ Sabah Tawau

Something interesting going on as well.


More of a 🙁than😊 for me, little fumigation power🫤, but it’s only my first try, I’ll have to explore them some more………

Is it just me, or is Kangiiten like buying a raffle ticket? From my orders (only a couple, in fairness) about 50% of products have been poor to forgettable and 50% great. The ‘great’ category includes some very keenly-priced stuff, but I’d rather pay double for that and not have to wade through the disappointments.

I can't comment on this particular supplier i've only sampled a small handful of materials, but I can tell you this reminds me of one thing that I have experienced over my time collecting things… there's nothing more precious than a source where every single thing you get is a banger. I don't hold anybody to having a perfect set of QA standards relative to my tastes, but it sure is amazing when somebody does.

It’s not just you. Well said…a raffle, a gamble.
There have been hits and misses, treasures and fails🤣, 50/50 seems par for the course.
