Well this may be my nose but in my opinion it doesn’t come close to the complexity of Emperor of China. In my opinion this smells most similar to Siam 4K if it had some Hainan vibes sprinkled in the mix. It really just feels like a nice mid-tier oil from Agar Aura. Also Kinabang is a good reference to get a feel for Royal Kinam.

Today's swipe is a little bit of Yusuf Royale.
It's good. I wish I could get my hands on an actual bottle of Oud Royale 1985 though.

Hello ouddicts 🙂
JS Royal Tripura
JS Emperor Kedah
Craft Oud King kalakassi
Royal Tripura is the only oil that give me this special feeling about love. I can’t explain what I feel but it’s deeply satisfying ! No doubt the cleanest leathery scent with the Hindi DNA
Emperor of kedah is the sweetest Malay oil I have ever smelled ! Cola , honey , cola , and resinous oudiness with cinnamon ! Purple floral pollen !
And the dry down … rich sweet resinous muskiness ! Mashallah
King Kalakassi from craft oud is just unbelievable…
Opening like a Borneo vanilla cream with a pleasant incense , and moving to a Chinese sinensis yellow kinam vibe … not as strong as EOC or Guan Yu but it remind me IO Hainan Qinan and cultivated kinam sinensis at a moment… and then turn in a clean Hindi DNA when it drying down !
It’s amazing how an hindi oil can share different faces like this …
Ouddiction is soo deep !! More than Every top tier oud oils ^^

Another textbook old-style hindi distillation. What a nice oil, to begin with. Some of the best hindis I have tried hail from Manipur and Assam. Just a tinge of barn, just to make things hearty and engaging.
In the beginning I get this slight pepperiness, musky sweetness with some phenolic undertones. After a while, settles down to gorgeous leathery oud that I loved. This one is rather dark and leathery, did not get any of the spiciness and berries that we associate Manipuri oils with.
Ultimately the resinous base reveals itself, which then paves way for powdery oudwoody facets.
Cannot really beat these oils and the reasonable prices they come at. Guilt free-fat swipes, all day!!

Emperor Guan Yu ... wish I had a better vocabulary and more experience with aromatics to do this one justice in my description.
It is pornographically sticky when pulling the dipstick out. I've been told that this smells like yellow kinam but to be frank, I haven't smelled yellow kinam before. I smell light-colored honey (like the wildflower-fed mountain honey of North Yemen) and vintage sandalwood.
3 hours later ... still piercing fresh honey and creamy sandalwood. There's a mentholated character that I notice in the profile. This isn't a minty green/blue smell but only the impression of cooling menthol. Like a numbing Novocain-laced character.
It's relatively linear but that's also pleasing since I enjoy the smell and would like it to continue.
@SamiterkiW why would you sell me this bro? I mean thanks but damn

On initial wearing I get that high frequency/piercing opening that makes your nose tingle and you can almost taste the oud in the back of your throat. Followed by honey, cola and lots of "purple" with a beautiful sweet oud dry down.
This is extremely pleasant and easy to wear.

AA Sink King Kho Kong
AA Kuno
AA Koh Kong Spécial K
AA SKKK (from full sinking Koh Kong agarwood 🤯)
A big and strong clean clear opening similar to Kinabang with more yellow kinam vanilla cream and stronger X10… better and heavier without the typical olive oil note that you can find in Kinabang or Siam sk, lao 4k etc… it’s creamy, buttery , sweet and very very clean ! I get hint of KKN powdery and JS Royal Burmese perfume vibe after few hours …
Honestly this oil is too much complex to my nose and I can’t fully appreciate but it’s without any doubt the most kinamic oil from Taha … even more than King K Nam ( i mean it smell strongly close to my cultivated kinam shaving) and last long time on my skin like King K Nam …
Maybe the best oil I have tried from Taha even if I miss lots of nuances cuz my nose is not enough trained…
AA Koh Kong Spécial K smell pretty close to Pursat QI with less strawberries and tobacco, and a Pursat 4k vibe !
An amazing oil with a strong bitterness and wild berries turn around a light vanilla cream ! It’s like Pursat QI and Kinabang was mixed ! this oil will be loved by lots of Oudhead !
AA Kuno is a blue color oil that smell strongly buzzing terpenoids ! It’s green , it’s Blue , it’s stronger than Mulia , between Blue Malay, Mulia and Karas Utama ! This oil is from an old old agarwood tree …
I never smelled an oil like that …
Icy mint with green jungle vibe and bergamot ! Top notes are phénoménal ! Not as quite as Blue Malay and more volatile than Mulia .
i wish you a very Gooud evening 🙂

How much I wish that Taha would sell the wood that goes into making his oils! That's probably my biggest gripe about oud ever! Not towards him personally but just generally 😤

Totally agree !
Bro wallah I asked him yesterday about that ^^
But nothing left …
It’s a fabulous idea to selling the wood used for an oil and also very interesting for the marketing of a brand !
They should do it in future

That’s a very good idea, I think this is what I’ll do next time I distill a new oil..🙏🏾
He wouldn't do it. At least not on a small scale. It's not a good business move for his profitability.

Maybe they would selling only limited wood batch… like few pieces of wood per each gram of oil available ^^ like this each of us can enjoy the wood and the oil from it ^^
Just for marketing not for value … I can understand it’s not good buisness for them but it’s good for the buisness 🙂
