SULAYM Myanmar (Burma) No. 1...
Very lovely oil, I bought 0.25g of this for around £47-50 or something i believe months and months ago, but when I first put it on I didn't really like it, as I got my nose refined with a lot of other oils, kyara and other high quality agarwoods, I feel my nose has changed, became more "refined" if you can say that, I think the more you experience different notes in the same aromatic you get a large degree of scent refinement, but I am also planning on trying a bunch of new resin aromatics, and different grades of frankincense from Apothecary.
Anyway, such a sweet, resinous opening, a bit of mintiness, with semi-sweet fermented purple fruits, very enjoyable, then some sour darker, fermented dark purple to black coloured sour fruits, and they combined nicely, with some spiciness. This continued for 20 minuets then we start to enter the heart, but I felt it was quite slow (not in a bad way as it was still developing) entering full into the heart, as a lot of top notes were still very present till 1 hour later, but after 20 mins of first applying the notes would change every 10 - 15mins, and even after 2 hours you get the same fruitiness... but lets talk about the notes 20 mins after applying. After 20 mins the top notes became more soft and well rounded with fermented sweet fruits combining with fermented sour fruits, they balanced each other nicely, some minty notes come here and there, then suddenly I got notes of pure agarwood, and the resinous note at the beginning was still strong (still strong 2 hours 20 mins later) and eventually a creamy note came in, directly after it became a creamy, gentle smokey, agarwood incense note came to be, and that note would jump in and out, and eventually after an hour you are always kind of in an incense note, with those fruits, a bit of rich pipe tobacco or world class cigar tobacco that only the rich can afford came into play another hour later, where I am right now. Leading up to the second hour there was tons of lovely rich resinous agarwood incense, fruits, lovely leather, like leather furniture or seats in a new luxury car, and some florals here and there. 2 ours and 20 mins in it is more dark, bitter agarwood and enjoyable tobacco note.
Enjoyable oil that I didn't think I would enjoy.
EDIT: After around 4 hours ( I think 4 is when I went into base notes which was an hour and 20 mins ago ), the base notes are rather sweeter than you would think as the oil in the heart is primarily sour, and right in the middle to end, quite sour fruity, tobacco notes, but in the base notes it became quite complex, only way to describe it is it became very agarwood-y (and perhaps notes of other woods as well, not sure, but also in a gentle fermented way too, but in a very beautiful way), and now after being in the base for an hour, it is quickly progressing into dry down, which is not boring at all. Very antique woodiness with a wood "creaminess" and a grassy, earthy scent, with some hints of camphor.
Tbh, it is rather beautiful. Will be something I hardly wear as I have less than 0.25g that I bought now, and want to keep it for those times when I am in a good mood. I kinda need to start my day with an incense stick (or a few) in bed to make my day start great, and try and maintain that without getting into any arguments with anyone, and then good oud oils and/or Kynam and/or other agarwoods are delightful, because I am in a more relaxed frame of mind. Waking up the way YOU think is best, then it is true that waking up on the wrong or right side of the bed is a true and accurate statement.
