EO's CPR 💔 to my heart and wallet.

 

[Mr.P]

I have a bottle of the kyarashrine green kinam oil coming. I personally have found a fair amount of value in oils like this over the years. Kind of generic, kind of bland, not a complete oud / oud oil experience but still delivering some choice notes enjoyable on their own and especially blended / layered.

I'm always looking for some budget oil to bulk up on to enable me to give the good stuff a break without leaving all the goodness behind.

You're really getting stuck into this one! I've been doing the CK chunk in the tea light burner same as you. The chunk I have in it is pretty much spent now so I put a tiny dab of this CK oil onto the chunk and BLAST OFF!

 

[Mr.P]

So I received that second bottle of the KyaraShrine green kinam oil. It is not quite identical to the previous bottle - very slightly darker oil, has an additional faint layer / facet i am still sorting out. The small difference is insignificant to me - the profile is essentially identical, good stuff for what it is.

My recent order from Kangiiten:

50g Vintage Tongan Sandalwood
10g of Dreams of Silk Road
14g piece of Hainanese Baotou

 

[TheOudDood]

Just got in Numbay/Jayapura and Tarakan from Fushigi.

Jaypapura is much more like a Maroke and Tarakan is actually similar to the dry down of White kinam. Opening on it is definitely different almost more vietnamese.

Yeah baby!! Habzoud GAHARU UNO, BORAN and AL TAAJ.

Yeah baby!! Habzoud GAHARU UNO, BORAN and AL TAAJ.

This makes me soo incredibly happy! I was wearing Oud Boran yesterday, and I just couldn't stop swiping it again and again. Not because it's weak but it's got this mysterious, sorta anti-septic vibe which some aged Thais pick up which I can't get enough of! So I thought about your comment on the thread for it, but stuff came up so I could respond yesterday. Suffice to say, I think this will rocket to the top sloths of your Crassna oils! There's a lot of complexity here, which honestly blows me away considering where its priced at, and how difficult its been to find Crassnas which approach the level of transitions this one has!

Not to mention, the other two you have are also bangers!

Phoenician Perfumes - David Falsberg !

The entire suite of samples, thrilled by my bottle of the his natural and intoxicating, furry "FERAL OUD."

Dude.. I'm very excited to try the Boran. I'm going to let them all rest for a day before I open them up but yeah I have a feeling I'll be ordering a larger bottle of it for sure. The description really nailed it for me with the mention of Tigerwood. Yum! GAHARU UNO we all know is out of this world and if you haven't tried it yet best get onto it. I know nothing of Al Taaj.🤩

Very nice haul there. Have you looked into Habzoud Cambodi Smoke? Might be what you're looking for?

Got my package from Alex at @TheAgarwoodShop. Some very nice Cultivated Kynam pieces!!! Sadly... the purple Kynam 0.18g piece has no aroma at room temp, I am gonna buy bottles for Kyara though, the bottles that Kangiiten use (picture of the bottles in the attachments, these bottles are the exact same kangiiten uses, these bottles even have the Teflon thing inside the lid of the bottle, but the lid tops are black, but I got my KZ/Kangiiten Sinking Sumatora wood in a bottle exactly like this with a black top, so I think this is the exact bottles kangiiten uses.

Anyway, here is what I got, I just paid for the Purple Kynam and he gave me some nice CK pieces, and even a piece he even showed me a pic of a CK he had while in discussion and I said that I wanted it and he threw it in, I will point the piece out with bolded writing of what it is.

I am gonna try these CK's some point today/tonight, and leave the purple CK for when I buy the exact same glass bottles that Kangiiten use (gonna buy 20 of them, 2 different sizes), they're called PATKIL glass bottles if you want the same exact ones Kangiiten uses. They have the Teflon (plastic thing) stuck on at the top of the lids as well, so that's how I know they are the same ones they use, and the rest of the bottle look the exact same. And I am gonna put the Sinking Purple CK into the smaller glass bottles I am getting out of the 20, and leave it to simmer in the bottle for 2-3 days and then open it and see if any aromatic compounds have been moving around in the bottle, that you can smell.

you know what might really hit the spot for you is the Musk/Oud attar "Zumurrud" from Al Shareef. I'd be curious to hear someone else's reaction to that blend because the oud that makes up the body of it is quite distinctive in a way that feels very smokey and incensey to me. Smelled an oil like that a long time ago from a Singapore vendor QT Store - it was popular on forums, called "Oud Royale", was a smokey oil and said to be from Borneo.

Zumurrud is pretty interesting and would hit the spot, considering Personel's criteria, however I don't find it particularly "smokey" but on all other fronts there's no doubt it's "dark incense-y leather cola". It's also got this moist dirt like accord which recalls something Russian Adam mentioned musk could be like, "almost green, forrest like" which I never quite understood until wore Zumurrud.

Al Shareef Oud Modhesh is a bit more smoke forward, but it's not nearly as cola rich as Zumurrud or even A'meen

Good to know - if zumrudd isn't smoky (and I agree that smoky is not quite the right adjective) then I think i have not yet experienced examples of really smoky oud. Now i am curious, something to look forward to
