Swipe of the night is cintaku. Clean, blue, vaporous , piercing and numbing. Some of my favourite qualities to be found in an oil .

IO Borneo
IO Beccariana

King Kalakassi sits at the top of the kalakassi’s in my opinion. Easily the best oil Prasun has in his repertoire.

My favorite aspects is the creamy vanilla and incense.

Have you tried the Kalakassi from Rising Phoenix by any chance?

How would you describe this oil? Any comparisons to other vietnamese you've tried?

 

[Justiciar Parfums]

For this night, a swipe of EO Borneo 3000 and cups of herb tea are all that I need.
I can almost taste the oud as I bring the swiped area close to my nose, it's like drinking the oud oil along with the tea.

 

[Ashfaque]

A newly discovered wild Bangladeshi oud. Incensy, musky, green trickle, leather, sweet hay, angelica root, ambrette seed, and lot more. Very happy with it.

Brother if that’s what you are wearing don’t be shy

@Mario P. I really have to try your oils one day... I only heard good things about them. 😊
problem is, that I already have more than enough aromatics for the next year. 😂
besides, don't be shy to talk about your oils. we(at least I) won't see it as a promotional post.

 

[Mario P.]

thx Taesik and Ed , its not about shy or so , but never talk about my own oil cuz maybe people consider its self promoting so no point , i let people who buy them to post 😛

 

[DubOudh]

@Mario P.
I too am coming closer to buying any selecting some oil from you too. So I would not see it as self promotion rather as imparting information to help me make a decision ....👍

When one considers the almost indecent level of self-promotion and indirect (influencer-ish) shilling of oils that mires our noble obsession 😂, I’d say you are well within your rights to say you like your own creation. And I think most of us would agree that they are strong contenders to excel—blasphemous, I know—even the big names.

But today I’m wearing a tiny drop of Elixir Attar’s SQ Grade Nha Trang 1994/5 once again. There are incense notes in it that recall two of your recent attars. Sweet, reduced cherry, medicinal, kinamic, with some nose-tingling fiery molecules that emerge and recede. I could rub a silk handkerchief or scarf with it and keep burying my nose in it for hours.

Opening is fuzzy and has the unmistakable bitterness (yet sweet, too!) of viet oils - also opens slight terpy almost like a diesel hemp note. Also upfront you'll notice a minty candy camphorous blast too - this isn't so much part of the direct aroma as it is part of the scents overall texture and body (you feel a cooling sensation vs being actually minty). I appreciate that it's unique while remaining an excellent example of Vietnamese agarwood.

For me, Vietnamese oils are essentially the ultimate in agarwood smells - it's the smell that sums up agarwood in one sniff. Whenever I put Vietnamese wood on the burner, it's unmistakable - that bittersweet, creamy, woody, smell. Ve Dap has this in spades.

Dry down is a continuous aroma of Vietnamese agarwood but with all these interesting and changing chords. I smell a different aspect each time. In words, it remains deeply woody and fuzzy (like textured - I've noticed this in musk before), with petigrain, bittersweet/vanilla (not like a malinau vanilla, more like a safrole/ autumn spices.

Basically a great tier 1 Viet oil that I'm so excited to put away bc I think it will only get better. Support your local distiller 🙂

Much gratitude to @EJayB for really doing the dang thang - pumped to try more of his oils in the future!
