how did you find the longevity of the nha trang oil?

Not that Brandon
im only a couple hours in so I will have to report back later. usually I get great longevity from Fushigi oils, even from only a tiny dot on my skin. in fact, it's rare that I will ever use more than a tiny tiny dot.

Does this one have that clove note Borneo Qi has ?

I was revisiting Yusa Aromatics Malay Zamrud the other day it's a brilliant oil, if that's the same one, 2023 from Kedah. If you want something in the same scent profile but fizzier, floral and lighter in body I would recommend an upcoming Sulaym oil, Imperial Malay, with the most beautiful piercing florals. If however you want something less sweet, and less syrupy I would recommend Al Hashimi's Sumbawa, different to most oils from the region, there's no pepperiness here, and the floral facet is different to Imperial Malay. Honestly All three are excellent and you can't go wrong with any one of them!

Every wearing the sulfuric acrid opening gets shorter. This is still an incredibly powerful oil, you feel it in your skull when smelling. Creamy aquatic gasoline and rock sugar. Rose florals and leathery cacao. Sweet woods you want to chew on. Blown away🤯

Nooo 0 clove
It is a relatively fresh oil from 2022. Barely 2 years old
Its like a srilankan and borneo profile fusion

Thank you to both brothers @Obada and @Ahmaoud for your suggestions.
After @Obada suggested Zamrad 2 I had to revisit this one since i had sample that was generously gifted to me with an order last year.
Top notch oil, smooth very round oil, but on my skin it leans more towords the green coniferous side.
Unfortunately these kind of profiles (green/coniferous) are not my favorite ones but everybody has a different taste wich makes this „hobby“ or „addiction“ so great.
I will hopefully try Sulayms Imperial Malay in the future since you made me want to try this one with your exceptional description as always 🤍

I applied a dab of Habz Maroke Qadeem yesterday. Brought a big smile to my face. I love maroke as much as any region but some maroke oils feel kind of "flat" somehow - there is this characteristic wet wood note that can be kind of dull, linear and simple if the oil lacks richness and depth.
This is the good kind of maroke - so much going on along with the mudcloth note. Tangy aged cola note, deep dark saturated resin note, smells mature, some hints of ambergris... scent of burbling resin on a coal. Just the right amount of bitter. Top shelf maroke it is safe to say.

Dark, bittersweet, moist, pungent, are the words that come fast to describe the first few minutes. There's dark cacao, a twist of orange zest, crushed tea leaf, all these bittersweet notes coming forward as it progresses. Spent coffee grinds and "new" leather, lead to an impressively long dry-down of woudy leather with a touch of sweet grass

oriscent purple papua at the moment - this is like a more volatile fraction zesty maroke - steam distilled in steel I recall. Fuzzy bitter herbal like maroke Oud and goldenseal root somehow. Has started to develop a bit of that old maroke note to some degree but is quite different from the heavy dark maroke oils. A nice specimen, glad i have it. Is this what you all mean by purple-smelling ouds? it is in a brown Amber bottle with a polycone cap, so nothing to photograph.

Oriscent Royal Kinam No 1
A special day today so I decided to go with my most precious oil. It is not my favorite but next to Hyang Kang, objectively, it is my most treasured/precious oil. Simple yet so grounding in its aroma. I have tried a handful of younger Hong Kong oils from various vendors but once you smell the likes of RK and HK you can tell they are from a different time (the material used).

powdery silky in the beginning, honey floral red fruits in the heart and sweet woody drydown. it is a gorgeous red hue oil. one of my favorite for sure.

maybe the most kinamic oil ever, but not that interesting at least for me. overly sweet and fruity, can't see a good depth.

Mesoud Vietking today. This oil gets a little better every time I smell it, a beautiful kinamic crassna. Opens with some pungency as a new oil, but there is something uniquely nice in terms of that sweet saturated mellow resiny woodiness that surrounds the main opening notes. Starting to get a smooth vanillinish beauty i associate with the dry down of kinamic oils but it is present in the top and mid notes as well. I feel like this one is still in the process of maturing
A bit later now I am getting some very nice incense notes.

You inspired me to also use a little dab of Levent
Today I'm getting a bitter scent, mixed with gasoline (reminds me of EO - Borneo 50k), rounded off with a delicious sweetness
Wearing it on skin is also a totally different experience compared to smelling from the vial
Totally different than my wear the other week, and it's amazing to see this transform each wear. I love this!

Thank you, I think you actually did a great job. Right to the point, easy to understand and wrap my head around!
How ‘dominant’ is the ‘old book’ component, would you say? I have a few oils that have some ‘library’ scent.
