Burn of the Day

[PersonelHigh]

Finally got some of that ‘Deniyaya Descent’ named-terroir Silani from Ethereal Resins on the heater. It’s clearly Sri Lankan from the get-go…green, underripe guava, and a bit avocado-like in the beginning. Turning up the heat slightly, banana skins and mint start to come in. Then the bananas turn sweeter and fleshier - closer to ripe yellow plantains. It’s minty up close, but more camphorous at a distance. At higher temperature it starts to show a deeper, more full-throated oudy character that fills the room; it’s kinda diesely after a while.

I am very tempted buy the cherry description, but it doesn't sound like you got any of that? The piece in your hand appears shiner than the one pictured on website.

Yeah, I can’t say I’ve ever found cherry in Sri Lankan and it’s not jumping out at me here, but everyone’s nose is different.

You’re right that one side is very shiny and dark - almost funny-looking. 🤨

But when you get down to brass tacks, it smells great to me on the heater - nice Silani with a lot going on. Another thing that sold it to me is that the wood is physically in the UK which helps for me.

If you have questions for the seller, you can find him on IG (just for the mods’ info, I am not affiliated with him this was a legit purchase on my part!)

That mystery wood, i had one small piece left, maybe 1/4g and I put it in my mortar to reduce it. Now on my sub at low temp, incredibly sweet. I mean floral sweet like honeysuckle or some flowering bush. Incredible aroma!

This morning in Brooklyn, I am burn under very low heat the following:

Shoyeido’s agarwood chips Goku-hin grade. Strong under low heat. Again, I prefer double the amount at the Matsu grade much better. But the Goku-hin grade has beautiful nuances up close.

On top of that some sandalwood chips by Baieido. It’s just now heating so nothing yet. But I’ve done this blend before and it’s very relaxing for this worrywart. 🤣

ASO Ramadan Cambodi

Florals and sweet resin.
Good stuff!

SRI LANKAN GYRINOPS - Walla Pata - from Jungle Oud
Just a wonderful generous antique walnut wood that needs such little coaxing and love to deliver. With notes of earth and clay, even some saltiness, a kind wake up to the day. A first layer of inspiration.

 

[The Scent Guru]

Some very old and very interesting Sri Lankan soil wood

Shoyeido agarwood for Kodutu

Encenser @Encenser - Asgon Double Super - probably my favourite wood that I keep coming back to. Just so incredibly satisfying. I wish I could bottle up this aroma - as mentioned by @mesOUD the profile tends to change wehn distilled (to my nose at least). Collab time!?!?!? 🙂

ASO Ramadan Cambodi again

This is a sleeper hit for me, I set it aside for a long time, but now I want to burn it more often.
