EO Royal Kinam. intimidating potency and power, fumes marinating hair and cells in my nose. insane projection. 20hours on skin. extremely medicinal-bitter piercing oriscent signature top notes that last for 2 hours easy, honey from white sage and white thyme flowers, camphor, jinseng, yellow kyara, sweet gummy bears mixed with freshly ground incense grade sinensis. insane energy and mind buzz feels like the strongest cup of coffee without the jitters.
 
Unnamed Borneo** from @Habz786 : This is my 1st wear.
- Zingy but balanced green, fizzy 7up type vibe (not sure about it), touches of spices* (cinnamon nutmeg);
- quite herbaceous - crushed leaves and stems;
- green tea, wormwood, clary sage, chamomile, elemi, hiba wood, cedar, crushed lime leaves, angelica root, touches of galbanum;
- mimosa, helichrysum
- aquas fuity nuances (musk melon, green apple, dragon fruit, Malay gooseberries, etc.) too.
- A deep oudy wave is slowly revealing itself. Assuming it is a relatively fresh oil, it will only get better with age.
- I wore it 6-7 hours ago and it is still evolving. An excellent oil already.

* Wife gets pre-roasted fenugreek. I don't. 😂

Nice summary! I have a bottle of this. i also get nagarmotha, carrot seed, thymol. I find this oil to be very vibrant and consistent / linear (not in a bad way)… super hoi an from IO ends up in more or less the same place as RK does after a few hours. RK goes as the crow flies - up in the atmosphere direct from point A to point B. Super Hoi an starts in a wetland and follows a meandering river to the same sweet smooth tangy sinensis wood oudy destination.

Honestly, I am afraid to use it more, It hits my energy levels too high. I do not drink coffee because I like being in control of my consciousness, this oil just forced me into overdrive. It is so beautiful but so strong I am having second thoughts about using more it is just too energetic. I have never felt this energy before so powerful. The focus it brings is amazing but the energy just too much for me. Truly intimidating

Super Hoi An from IO today, thanks for bringing it up MrP

It’s a beast of an oil
hell yes this is my favorite “budget” oud (sub $300) and i cherish it as much as any other oil in my stash.

That’s wild. My nervous system only responds to blunt force trauma at this point, but i would say the RK has a pronounced zing/zest to it that i experience. A similarly vibrant oil was the “purple papua” from oriscent. Totally different direction - but a very zesty merauke - front forward, vibrant.

I am very sensitive to even the slightest changes in my awareness. I notice changes in focus, patience and perception qualities by anything consumed or applied to my skin. I can tell when something has synthetics or when there is a mind altering or stimulant properties. This oil to me acts as a very powerful stimulant with pretty good focus. 2 dots in two days and I am still feeling it 24 hours later. What would happen if i take a whole swipe? This thought intimidates me lol, maybe I am overreacting and it was just a lot of excitement involved which created more energy than was produced by the oil, however, I get very excited about woods also, some even more than royal kinam oil, and other oils that also am more excited about, so no, it is in fact the royal kinam. Very psychoactive.
 
I make an alcohol dilution of any agarwood oil that I like to wear on a regular basis. I enjoy both full strength and diluted - each has its pros and cons.
