Compared to the nose buoying action packed gen 3 madness of Malaya and Maluku , the Prachin is a gentler Oud treading firmly yet peacefully like a sail boat over a calm ocean stretch...I don't think it's remembered but Taha's very first Cambodian Ateeq shared some profile traits, it does have those hallmark fig jam ripe fruit notes with peach nectar sweetness but nothing over the top. Now and then it reminds me of kyara ltd the burmese one..I haven't really reached the dry down yet but the scent development is fairly even...It's more of a zen oil to me, comforting soothing, good for stilling the self..I made a mistake pairing it with the purple blue hulamaluku and the brown cola smoke Malaya... :S

Last Night Swipe : AA - Royal Jerai

After sampling Hulubalang, Kirana and Pra Rachini it was time to bring out Royal Jerai. This came last, for it being an oil from an aged single tree my expectation from this was sky high.

So let's see how it plays, When you take a whiff from the vial it smells pretty similar to Malaya to me. First swipe of the oil it paints everything green on a white canvas sitting on a moist-aged wood stand. 20mins in, this changes to something unusual everything becomes minty it's not the etheral note I'm talking about more like eucalyptus mint. When you feel okay once this goes we get to the oudiness .. this oil surprises you by making you feel u bathed in cola.. this is my first experience with a cola note .. I guess this note could be an acquired taste in an Oud for a few, certainly it would be for me... Cola doesn't leave you for a good 2-3 hours with the power slowly diminishing and the oudiness coming to play ... oudiness gets overpowered by the cola note for my nose here ... I would wait on this one to settle for a few months being a fairly new oil I think there could be new facets seen by then...
