IO super hoi an today, once again. I always have a bottle of this diluted down to about a 1% concentration in ethanol. One little swipe of this on my neck in the morning and the most amazing shining kyara / fine Vietnamese wood chip notes are revealed gently and gracefully throughout my work day. This is among my favorite fragrant things in the world right now.
How do u compare the two?Left - Yazuke : Right - Hulubalang.
Unfortunately I am not wearing both at the moment, but I’d say Yasuke is a bit darker, smokier and spicier with the classic cola notes. Hulubalang is totally AA style, very clean. Definitely Malay with a spicy heated wood cola resin smell. Side-by-side I get a sweeter resin note mid-wear with Hulubalang. I really enjoy both oils.How do u compare the two?

EO Borneo 3000 V3.
My first experience with this region. Still one of my favorite oils but the forum has mentioned many a times that the previous versions were far better.
For my reference I really wish to try a top top Malinau. My current options are Royal Malinau or EO White Kinam ... anyone who has tried both?

RO Oud Yaqoub 2018
Candied peach with a touch of florals and a hint of tobacco.
Dry down reveals the incensy oudiness.
