What’s the megalayan profile?
 
Ok, can you explain what you mean. I occasionally see folks using these color references as a kind of standard. Red, yellow, green, purple. What does purple smell like? Yellow? Have you guys worked out some shared language here, or are you just using the colors as an arbitrary adjective to represent the vibe of the incense? Like the + and - of electrical charge are arbitrary. There is nothing “negative” about negative charges, the symbols could have been reversed... but the + and - remind us they are opposites.

If you blend a blue oud and a yellow oud, do you get a green oud? Is there a logic to it or is it just something intuitive?


Let’s take a common shared oud here: sweet trat. What color is your basic trat oil? If I just close my eyes and don’t try to think about it, reddish yellow is what I get.

how about ASO Hind: strong barnyard Hindi. What color? Brown? Tan?
When I say I feel green I get some earthy grass feel and when I saw yellow I get some sweet honey like feel ...

Trat oils I'd put as yellowish, maybe orange so yeah - similar to you. Hind, perhaps black, a dark brown. I don't think there's a shared colour profile, just certain scents may give off that colour, so for example the leather, fermented smells of Hindi oils make me think of a much darker colour.
Another example: a Malaysian for me maybe be a lighter black mixed with brown, yet also reddish

Sure. Some connection between mental references to smells associated with plants, fruits, etc., that have certain colors. So, Mardelong has a honeyed leather/date/raisin note (brown), turmeric (yellow), and a parallel yet clear, distinct note of fresh, crushed leaves (green) somewhat to the background. That's what I'm trying to get across.
 
The color or shade of scent is semi abstract, but if we’re all on the same page, then it becomes objective.

My s o t d,
Agar Aura Sempurna

It’s like a Malaysian Oud Brûlée garnished with a tiny sprinkle of tobacco leaves, served on a plate of oudy resiny minerally spicy syrup.
Sempurna, wasn't it a Hindi?
 
EO Hun Yin
New Guinea/Sumatra co-distillation
First waft is the New Guinea component similar to that in Sultan Afnan. Then resin, oudiness, and incense kicks in.....I am reminded of Oud Royale 85. Later, there are fruits so ripe near fermentation. Then a little spice and a lot of complexity from the Sumatran side. Dry down is mostly resin, incense, and sour fruit.
