Ok, I'll keep this going. Has anyone here tried Muana LTD? An Oriscent Bhutanese oil. You hardly see this one mentioned around. I only tried Bhutan REd, and it's amazing. I can only imagine an Oriscent take on that.
 
Wardlab CK distillate #2 diluted to 5% in 95% ethanol.

This has been macerating so to speak for a month or so. Subtle changes in the aroma are evident… the nicest being a kind of peppery aspect that has started to move to the foreground. This is really a surprisingly nice scent in itself.

the aroma is actually quite complex and sophisticated for a ck oil - the scent is overlapping a little bit of some Australian sandalwood I put on, and that is a nice blend. Usually I strongly dislike oud and sandalwood together.
 
Birdsong from @Maunamoku : opens with a burst of aromatic sweetness, accompanied by a subtle hint of leatheriness. A distillation of agarwood sourced from Jemaluang, Malaysia—a region that was, until recently, off-limits for hunting. Despite its freshness, the projection from my skin is remarkably pronounced. There's no doubt in my mind that this fragrance will age incredibly well over time

not sure what species this is but id bet on Malaccensis because it shares a quality similar to Maunamoku's Malaysian Blue and Aceh Green.

definitely different in the dry down where it opens into a more floral syrupiness whereas the other two oils i mentioned lean towards the powdery side.


fantastic stuff!

Smells like a dark sweet Indonesian. Well priced. Not your classic maraoke. Projects a lot.

Mesoud I think has better Indonesians and a huge selection. Oud said and tarakan Qadeem being among the best.
Sweet? I was expecting this to be a drier, more medicinal Maroke as per the write-up.

To me smelling This from the bottle it is such a perfect name, if you could bottle up birds singing it would smell like this!
 
Kakao, Koh Kong by SULAYM: Love at first swipe, honestly. I don't think it has been released yet but this oil will be one of the next oils I buy!!! It has this gently heating chips note all the way through, so far, as if that is the backbone of the oil. The notes coming out of this heated chip start off with a creamy, oudy, minty, beautiful note, reminiscent of Ceram Sinking by EO, Burnie Kynam or the small chip of Pursat I sampled a long time ago, it starts off so nice and it hooks you. After around 20-25mins the oil still smells incense-y, in a gentle heating type of way, and is releasing these notes through that chip resin, and it has this red berry scent (100% Koh Kong wood style, I love Koh Kong wood) that doesn't have a fruity nature to it but an oudy nature to the smell, as if it is not truly a berry but... is a berry? Basically non fruity berry and is just se sensual and amazing, then comes the creamy note again with a creamy, woody, chocolate note.... lovely oil, and once I can get more, I definitely will!!!

EDIT: Then comes some powdery, absolutely, BEAUTIFUL florals. That I picture as light blue and white., with some light pinkish-white, freshness.
