After a grand f@3k up because of my miscommunication I missed out on Anas, but now I’m waiting for the train with a VALID ticket for half a gram Tranquil.
Thanks @mesOUD for this opportunity! Cannot wait to board the train. 😍

Vetiver samples from Eden. Java, India, Haiti organic and doubled distilled (also Haitian).
I’m sure I’ve sampled all of these before but I’m curious to see how the farmed Indian compares to the really specific smell of wild khus.

well?

Waiting on a gram of Maluku oil from Sabily collection, finally getting a chance to try out the famous region. The description sounds like it has some of the orris / powdery drydown, but not the purple aspect.

This brand has had more controversy on this board than most others. Some people had better results than others, I would proceed with caution.

As Mentioned by @Mr.P i proceed with caution. But I previously bought some socotre devils blood mixed with rose oil. The rose dominated the most but I’m still happy with my buy as it feels regal.

 

[Mr.P]

Costus root on the way from Apothecary's Garden. I hope I ordered enough - going to make some costus resinoid if possible. I ordered a couple hundred grams we should be enough for at least one load when ground up.

I haven't been able to find costus oil anywhere. I have a 2 mL bottle I got from white lotus that is actually amazing stuff, it's an incredible material that goes well beyond the "unwashed hair" scent that usually causes people to back off of it from smelling it closely.

Humility is a virtue. Be wary of those who boast. They're usually covering something up.

Got a nice little incense haul but have to wait til Monday to get the Minoran. Two boxes from Kangiiten and two sample sets of coils from an Etsy shop. The first set is for sandalwood and the second set is for agarwoods. One coil each which burn for 3.5hrs long they say. Wasn't expensive so I have no idea of the quality however just from the variety it seems the seller knows a thing or two about agarwood and sandalwood and they're beautifully packaged. Hopefully they pass the test.

 

[Mr.P]

This root looks excellent - strong costus aroma and no "processed medicinal herb" scent that some herbs pick up when they go through the process of being sliced and preserved for traditional Chinese medicine.

This stuff is going to be a bear to grind up. The aroma is excellent - has the classic "human hair at the end of the day" aroma but it is well supported by sweet, rich violet like and musky aromas. It has a unique deep sweetness, very interesting stuff. As I mentioned, I can't find authentic costus oil anywhere - very much looking forward to having a bottle of the resinoid.

They look hopeful. Keeping my fingers crossed they're good for you!

You know this reminds me, did you receive that box of Minorien's Kyara Ryugen or one of their other ones I seem to find that one quite perfume-y, it's not bad but it's a very interesting smoke it produces

Burning this one now and you're correct, it is quite perfume-y. I do seem to also hear little sharper/clear kyara notes throughout that overall perfume. That's what's holding my interest. Generally with a perfume dominate incense I'll trash it but this isn't encouraging me to do that. This is a sample box set I got of all three incenses. Maybe five sticks in each box? Unsure if I would buy a bigger box of these ones..?

 

[Mr.P]

I have got samples of the nicest looking custom made glass bottles coming my way. Borosilicate glass, ground glass closures, and range of volumes (even a mini 1mL flacon for samples or rarities). I have been looking for mass-produced solutions but this would be so much nicer on a number of levels (including being built around good quality laboratory stoppers).

Hey guys. I actually shelled out for the Minorien's Kyara Ryugen. I like it quite a bit. Nippon Kisi also dips incense, some of it, in oils. I prefer the traditional way that Shoyeido practices bur dipped doesn’t bother me all that much.
