IO Ceylon Royale II
I spread the swipe out thinly and now I can pick up more of the resiny oudy note.

Hainan Imperial by IO.
Smoky fermented tea scent. Slightly reminiscent of pu erh (not a fan of the tea but the scent is enjoyable, has a bit of that minerally decomposing roots in dark earth smell to it) to which is added a minty aspect diffused across the profile. But I am not fond of an aspect reminding me of peanut shells. Regardless, that note joins the others and becomes softer while the fresh minty note gets a bit stronger which is where I really start enjoying the scent.
This one took a while for me to enjoy. The first five wears I found it lackluster but now it feels very nice. Thumbs up.

IO - Cambodi 2002, a MASSIVE swipe, covered the entire back of my hand,
EO - Green Papua, another big swipe, trying to finish off my sample. perhaps 2 wearings (or rather, testings) left!
I hardly seem to 'wear' oud as I apply several at once and for months I've been wearing vintage sprays to the office as opposed to single ouds. Bit of a shift compared to a few months back - weird.

I kept going back to my empty sample vial for occasional sniffs, but Hark!, never fear!, a new bottle...is finally here!
Creamy, oudy, agarwoody, and addictive. Sweet Vietnamese that’s not too floral or fruity.
The barn doesn’t come into play for my nose, but it’s presence here does help give it a classic feel, as opposed to some new generation genre.

Beguiling aromatics. Iris absolute is the front and center act and spicy lilac tinged baking spices, an herbaceous thyme compound butter and crystalline sweet cummingiana notes I associate with places like Sulawesi, mindanao and Ambon are what make this oil a stellar example of an aromatic compound that is absolutely complete and more complex than some of the most amazing perfumes.
Earlier today was EO Bhutan red. A remarkable classy oil. Perfect balance of minerals, honeybush tea, gentle leather, gentle barn, hay and black tea. No sour note. No cheese. No sharp notes. Just Clean funk. Best of the bunch from my 6 Bhutan oil haul.

Glad u like it more than I. Barn and that old school rustic vibe profile and Vietnam just doesn’t work for me. I can get along with hindi and cambodi oils and this profile but like my Vietnam’s pristine!

I guess I agree with both you and Rasoul. I find it to be addictive but would probably enjoy it even more with less of that smoky barn aspect to it.

Today I layered,
Sultan Mujeeb with Ceylon Royale II.
I always love the marriage of these two Gyrinops cousins.
Wonderful scents!!
I’m so tempted to blend some of theses two oils into a vial, but I never made a blend that is synergistic, so I will just have to settle for layering.

This evening...
Feel Oud Sumatran Green Chocolate
Sniffing it sends my head spinning, and if you told me it was Sumbawa, I would believe you.

Going back to my early day love: walla.
Eo suri senkoh vs iO Ceylon royale vs eo orsl vs iO Sri pada
Suri senkoh and Ceylon royale are both focused on the green and blue spectrum of the walla note. Cedar plank beach hut next to a mango grove and nutmeg farm. Salty oceanic sweet and yelling summer and high intensity sports. When worn together the differences are rather big. Yet in minds eye these two have been somewhat intrrchnagble for me.
Orsl is full spectrum grand daddy. An oil that will age for eons. Compete walla profile. Fruit spice earth green blue red yellow black. Is all.
Sri pada is on the red spectrum. Most dominant spice and fruit nose. Lacks the elegance of others and that high pitch but nice base.

Nice findings after spending a pretty long time. I wish Oud Shams were there in juxtaposition.
Well, with the passage of time, Sri Pada has developed ripeness, and some shades of A grade Malysian depth. Strange. Its viscosity is more than the other Walla Patta oils. Oud Shams is inclined towards Borneo. Oxidized! But I am happy as the first Walla Patta kich, if not ripe, leads the rest of nuances to monotony. I am sniffing Oud Shams, Sri Pada (Siddhartha), CR and SS now. Owing to allergy, not able to wear. If I didn't know the vials, it would have been an ordeal o decide which one is the costliest. I experience elevation in Oud Shams more than the other Walla Pattas. It is like Usain Bolton. Slow start, but when it gains momentum, it is a fragrant thunderbolt. Sri Pada is a fragrant Rainbow. Muti coloured. SS is multi-dimensional. CR is Royale, but no casino effect.😉
