Ok, I want to admit that, Hainan by Fushigi is growing on me, lol
It's crazy how our perceptions to things change with time.
so, Brunei Kyere and Hainan is the way to go : )

Not that Brandon
Agreed! Things can definitely change. I didn’t really like papua at first but now I really like it.
The hainan is quite good. As is the brunei 😁

Yes, Levent is awesome 💯 and it will be interesting how it develops as it ages.
Today:
Lao Gold 2 by AlHind Oud.
Beautiful golden green sinensis. Clean, pristine and piercing. I love that berry like opening that reminds me of Pusong Qi. Golden honey dipped vanilla incense. A very fine Lao oil.

Smells so Oud
Tried my sample of this after just reading your comment. "Piercing" is such a good word for a lot of ouds but absolutely sits with this one.

Maroke Qadeem from Habzoud. Just the perfect Maroke, relative to my experience. I have one other oil vaguely like this that I never wear because I have just one milliliter left and it's about 20 years old. I don't know how common this type of Meroke is but this is a category of oil i wish i could afford to have in great abundance. I would wear it all the time. Smells ancient, earthy, woody, musty, oily, herbal, slight canphor and very very oudy in the way that maroke oud oudhs.

Habzoud - Oud Qaysar Thought I'd give this a go as we're having an unseasonably warm and humid day today. I'm generally unfamiliar with the Hindi profile. This will take some getting used to I admit. Very sharp barn note. I'm reminded of @Escentually using the term of Gorilla shit with these super smelly ones. This isn't to be assumed this is a negative thing because it isn't, just an unfamiliar one to me. Not sure it's my thing but we'll see.

Oud Said by Mesoud.
I contemplated ordering a full bottle straight up (specially with 50% off) but decided against it as tobacco leather are not accords I have gravitated towards. However, I have some regret right now because this one is absolutely fabulous 😍. Yet, glad I picked some up before it sold out.
The tobacco leather in this is sublime. There's a certain sweet freshness to it that I am picking up into the late dry down that is so nice. The whole thing has this calming comforting quality.... This is like a perfume and one I could see myself wearing daily. Absolute love at first sniff.
Edit
I just checked out the description and "peace and tranquillity" are spot on with my experience. I also recognise that fresh, aquatic ambergris like that I am picking up.
A very special oil.

Eo Suriranka Senkoh 2017 -Hands down one of the best Ceylon oils that I have tried , the top note sharpness has calmed down after aging , it truly smells like placing a high grade chip on low heat , and the dry down is otherworldly, honey salty frankincense and thats after 12 hrs of application and taking a bath.

@YusaAromatics - Leyte Kukyoku
@YusaAromatics - Ceylon KO
Starting off the new samples with Leyte Kukyoku last night. Didn’t get to pay attention too much, but the opening was strongly reminiscent of Levent. So much so that I would believe they could come from the same tree. kukyoku had all the similar sulfuric gassy notes overlapped with the creamy oceanic florals that I got from Levent, just turned down a notch. Will have to do a side by side swiping of both of these soon.
This morning swiped on some Ceylon KO. Oh boy this one is yummy! It very briefly opens with a ashtray left out in the rain type of note. About 10 minutes until it’s shifting to a bitter mango and aquatic gasoline note. Strong strong silani gas with tropical fruits, ethereal. I went from having 1 silani in the collection to 4 overnight, so going to be quite fun comparing all of these.

Sumbawa Seufi from mesoud layered onto Indonesian patchouli from the tea guru. They compliment each other very well with the oud bringing some welcome sweetness to the dry down of the patchouli.
Id like to experiment more with some oud and patchouli blends. Maybe a dash of rose.
