In prefer the Baotou, but this batch is pretty good also🥰

Nippon Kodo Sizuro Vietnamese

Vietnamese is good oudh😊

EO Irani wood… $20/g… smells great! Purple on low heat. Didn’t need to push it today … will keep ramping tomorrow.

Yamadamatsu SS Aloeswood

Today’s pieces smelled like Tarakan🥰

 

[Olfactory Nomad]

A nice little nugget of Ambon wood, gifted to me from @crigg. I'll definitely be making a larger purchase of these. Sweet and highly resinous.

KZ Hainan Baotou

Fruity honey vanilla opening,
florals, caramel, wood,
and incense.🥰

ASO - Merauke Qadeem - After a very nervous wait for these chips having sat with customs for an age - the wait was worth it. Beautiful woody sweetness filling the room. The chips are so light - I never imagined they would smell so good. 🙂

I was nervous for you as well. Aren't they the strangest density? They look quite solid and should be heavy but feel like they're almost hollow instead?

Like Balsa Wood, little spongy nuggets of joy.

I'm heating one of my own now in celebration for you.

These Char pieces were processed very nicely, leaving only the best parts, I don’t need to process them any further😊

There’s some orange citrus in the base.

Yummy Hoi An notes
fruity honey poured on thick😋

 

[Alamande]

Kangiiten - Wild Nusantara (Kalimantan). This has notes I've not come across before, or certainly rarely. Everytime I push it up by degrees I get hit with very deep saliva/salty notes. Very raw almost unpleasant. This is followed quickly though by sharp fresh green apple and vanilla. Really interesting stuff.

Heating some of this now on ceramic and am pleasantly surprised by it. Very interesting profile and something novel for me. I stuck a few scraps on at an arbitrary 170°, and it was pretty mute for the first 10-15 minutes. I’ve sort-of learned not to get my hopes up too much with new Kangiiten woods, but this really started to sing after a quarter-hour, and I ended up cranking it closer to 190°.

I’m pretty much in alignment with @Olfactory Nomad on the profile…it has a dirty, slightly saline, quite tart fruitiness to it. I can see why green apple would come to mind. I’m not getting any saliva, though. As the sourness fades, a gentler note of vanilla does indeed come to predominate. Glad I got this one.

I love the woods that teach you new things. I used to find it a bit frustrating until the woods taught me to slow down.

Kangiiten Brunei K

I chiseled an unassuming piece, light colored and not full of resination, but boy did it deliver the goods! Lovely🥰
