@Ahmaoud this is also a thing, it is a hybrid between white kynam and something else, not sure. Just a white kinam hybrid. I still have some and it is VERY unique.

@firdaous, thank you for the review. This oil is truly exceptional, reminiscent of gently warming oud chips but with a very loud projection. Whenever I shake someone’s hands it leaves a trail and I get asked which oud is this! Its initial leathery, vintage note smoothly transitions to a surprising grapefruit note that is quite eye-opening. It's among the most distinctive oils we've encountered, and we're excited to introduce it as 'Sulaym I' early next year.
Regarding the bottles, a separate thread will follow, but here's an interesting detail: our lids and brass tops are meticulously handcrafted by the same artisan who contributed to the carving and restoration of the mimbar in Masjid Al Aqsa. Each lid is individually crafted from exotic and durable woods like purple heart, mahogany, and black wenge.

It really is a great and distinctive oil. I will try to look for the grapefruit note next time I wear it. I haven’t noticed that aspect yet, but every time I wear it I discover something new.

For today sampling two Jinkoh Oils, Emperor Maluku and Grand Emperor Kedah.
Maluku is nice but not a top 5 Jinkoh for me. The main drawback is the lack of complexity. The dry-down smells like Gyrinops Walla. Beautiful but I expected more.
The GEK is unique for sure. I get the grape association but unlike the Emperor of Kedah, the grape notes are way sharper, and very high-pitched to the point that they feel discordant to the base notes. Like the oil is being ripped apart. It lacks harmony. There is a weird almost plastic-like smell to that fruity accord as well which I don't really gut.

In no particular order, as they are very different, Emperor of China, Brunei Qi, Emperor of Kedah, Malinau Qi, and Grand Emperor Tarakan. I'd say Emperor of China is my favorite.

HOLY SHIET!!! So about 1.5 years ago maybe even 2, @Tauhid Shaikh gifted me some mongolian musk and some super grade musk that i put in some ethanol and added a lot of shavings of some green kyara that is very fragrant at room temp and also some yellow and a white with crazy purple notes that was sold to me as green that i adore...had totally forgotten about it its been brewing since..a couple minutes ago i poured some for a friend as a sample gift and poured about a drop on my pinky........HOOOOOLY KINAMIC FLORAL PRISTINENESS!!! just incredible clarity and loudness as if the musk disappeared and a crystal clear cold kyara aroma so sharp and clear and floral that i cant stop smelling my finger!! now i am thinking find some of the best grade musk possible and add a 1.5g of kinam in it .5g of each of the ones i put since i have like 1.5g of each. i cant believe how this stuff transformed. What was once some chocolate like musky wet aroma turned into the most pristine clear cold clean aromatic and the smell is better than the three kinams combined. zero muskyness pure flower kinamness. mindblown.

Interesting point of view. I didnt have the opportunity to do a long term testing on Grand Emperor Kedah but yea its straight high pitched grapes. It was just pleasent from top to drydown. I didnt get nothing plastic-like.
The Maluku was mindblowing for me. Maybe not deep in complexity (vertically) but complex in manner of shifting colors and nuances (horizontally) on my skin. If it makes sense

I love the dry-down, but that's because it smells straight up like true Gyrinops Walla oils dry-down, which I love.

A beautiful chilly, though not snowy December day here, felt a pull towards my Hindis today. Tried Habzoud's Tipu Sultan, not the first time, but the first time I truly enjoyed it, and I enjoyed it quite a bit! I remember wearing it and it not really projecting, as well as something a bit strange going on in the mid, which I really couldn't stomach. Also not really having the structure I seem to enjoy in my new age Hindis. Today was quite different, it was popping off my skin a lot more, and I was just mesmerized by the scent. A cool, herbal dance, sprinkled with a touch of sweet spices, felt almost like an oudy amber accord, couldn't keep my nose away from my wrist! The only offering from Habzoud I wasn't completely obsessed with, and I'm so glad that changed today, in fact I swiped some more on just now!
A bit later in the day, and further up my arm, I wore Sulaym's Wild Bengal, but as I closed the cap, I had a sudden urge to add a bit of Bandarban to the mix! At the start I could still smell Bandarban quite strongly, but to my surprise, I feel as though Wild Bengal moderated its development. They combined really well together, and as Bandarban ceased to steal the focus from Wild Bengal, the latter morphed the mid of the former, amplifying the mid of each in unison. The resulting melange of the Sylheti and Hill Tract regions was really expectational, Wild Bengal cleaned up any harshness Bandarban brought to the table, and sweetening the base. While Bandarban lifted the top of Wild Bengal to give it a punchiness!

the opening is barn and hay-sweet Hindi. but it quickly transforms into Sri Lankan aquatic foresty scent.
then it turns again into Philipinese resinous oudy floral.

Previously had received a few swipes from James. Now I bought a little for myself which finally came in today.
Such a nice complex and addictive oil. Perhaps my favorite Papuan that I’ve tried. Earthy, jungley, oceanic, floral, and overall just an extremely satisfying oud. That’s why it’s one of my oud of the year picks 🤩

Leen by ASO my second wear and it's better than the first green sweet I can't stop smelling it, reminds me of Taha's oils that clean green slightly minty all Oud. I will have to buy a full bottle of this.

This is my 2nd hainan and my first time smelling such a candied orange with a zesty bitter note in a harmony.
Sulayms description says wildflowers and nuts. I get that but the candied orange aspect is infront of it and these floral and nutty nuances just rounding up the experience. It doesnt smell like any synthetic orange/citrussy perfume you know. Its more of a dense natural aroma.
For around 240$/3g this is a daily swiper for summer and winter I guess. Another amazing bangs for bucks oil from Sulaym

Take your first breath and you will dive in a rich rainforest. Its green dense wet but has sooo many aspects to discover. Zesty citrusses, some oud burning and sweet & spicy whiffs. A lot of stuff going on here and smells different every time you sniff. But when you inhale deeper, the unmistakable vanillic addictive borneo background is there. This is a complex oil that you can also just enjoy the scenery it puts you in. No need to overcomplicate it. Just enjoy your time in the rainforest.
Again 350/3g wild borneo another amazing oil from Sulaym. I am not a fan of green scents and foresty ouds but I can appreciate the complexity.
The vendors description matching what I smell on my skin, is such an important aspect, because I will know that next time I wanna buy an oil, I can almost blind buy it and there is no need for wasting money and shipment on samples
