Legendary bitter/spicy green kyara. There is of course some sweetness and some sour and even salty, so i do not know why the masters label it only as "bitter-spicy". it is not any notes that I can recognize in it...i dont see florals, i dont see fruit, i dont see herbs, i see something new and there is not something i can relate it to. it is just a very rich bitter/spicy kyara-ness that has balanced but faint "sweet/sour/saltiness", i do not know how i get so lucky with these woods....this wood is impossibly long lasting on every heat. the oil droplets coming out of so many places around it. it feels hard to the touch but when you touch it with the razor it feels like you are cutting a candle. very strange wood, i had it in my hands thinking this is hard wood, but it tricked me. it is the smallest piece for being 1.5g condensed AF

The best moments I got with this kind of wood is when I touch it then I put it back in the vial, and I can still smell it in my hands.
Gorgeous piece Koz, Enjoy!

This one hardly smells at room temperature which is very strange, but on heater it’s insane. I have also noticed many of the other really crazy ones on the heater have the same thing, no aroma at room temp but heater they crazy. Of course I do wish it also had a room temp aroma. I am guessing if I shave the whole surface it will. It must have been cut very long time ago or it’s just the way the oleoresin is

Holy crap! Where did you get this from?

Holy crap! Where did you get this from?

My good friend, Kosmas. He's called @language scent here. He's an amazing guy and trust him when it comes to real kyaras and woods, and he doesnt do it to make profit, so there is no reason for him to scam, but he wouldn't scam anyone anyway thats not his nature. Very good dude, message him and ask him about some woods.

I buy all my Wild Kyara off him and pretty much (99%) all of my highest grade agarwoods too, and the Kinams especially I wouldn't second guess if they're wild, even a newbie can tell the difference between the wild kinam AND agarwood kosmas gives you and the cultivated kinam stuff.

I once thought to myself when I got into this hobby I would never be able to even TRY wild kyara. Now, because of kosmas (thank you brother), I have atleast 2.2grams of different Wild Kyara currently and once I get my new package coming with an entry top to mid top grade green oil half gram chunk named "Later Hatsune" inside ill have around 2.7g, 3 chunks and a few smaller pieces. Two of the chunks (when i originally got them, and the third being Later Hatsune when I get it) being 1g of a mid range Green Oil Kyara from Kyukyodo incense house, originally, and 1.25g of a mid range Black oil Shino-Ryu Kyara.

If you want I can upload pictures of some more wild kinam with a normal highb quality phone camera? And if you wanna see more pics and videos using a normal S24, follow me on instagram, my profile is in my signature in this post.

I will post this Black Shino-Ryu Kinam here though.

what does the bathing do?

It’s just a play on words 😆

He’s just testing / showing it’s sinking

Ah, thanks. I thought I was doing something wrong. That JK.

Even your Agarwoods like clean pits and crevices

what does the bathing do?

Sometime wood that has been parted a long time ago will have a kind of clogged surface and will not emit any aroma or weak aroma or just aroma that isn’t the pureness of the wood. Yesterday I washed a 50gram baby kinam. I could hardly smell the room temperature before. Now it smells very strongly of sweet amber, florals and bubblegum. This is the first time I was wood 😂 I think it will be a thing now that I will be doing to many thanks to Iori

this kyara so happy to be in my collection it was crying purple oil droplets. However the kyara is a yellow kyara of incredible beauty!

Is this board full of millionaires, or is Shoyeido's kyara just heavily marked up?

Was just doing test for sinking and washing them, not like they had any aroma from storage but it's habit now i do it with all my wood.

Here another piece after sinking.

Looks stellar, and yea i'm now addicted to washing pieces lol.

I have been told more than once that a classic way to reactivate the aroma of sandalwood showpieces that have lost their luster is to rinse them with water. I don't know if it's a matter of bring oil to the surface or increasing humidity make it easier to smell the molecules that are already there.

"Later Hatsune" Green Oil Kyara

This chunk of Kynam was apart of a log that was secured by the Japanese BEFORE the Edo period. The Japanese Edo period started at 1604 and ended im 1868. This wood is older than 1604 at the earliest.

ANCIENT Wood!!!

The whole chunk:

Two detailed videos showcasing the Kyara, "Later Hatsune". Once I smell it, I will give some first impressions and study it a bit and try and take people on a journey with me as I discover new notes and nuances in the wood:
