*sarawak black pepper
*sichuan cypress
*tonga sandalwood

very excited/curious

Interesting I was going to buy a bunch of vanilla pods. Was going to use them in homemade ice cream.

I haven't, but since it is a type of angelica I am sure it will have some interesting facets. I have not tried any of those Kangiiten oils due to lack of sample sizes or reviews.

Whoo hoo! Arrived just in the nick of time as I was running out of No 1. I'll take more if anyone has some to sell?View attachment 49719

Nice! I don't have any to sell but how is it?

 

[Mr.P]

If all goes according to plan, I have a few things arriving today including a larger batch of kinam chips, some pink ruh gulab, and some ruh kadamba. There are also a handful of other oils in this order but those are for a forum member who I ordered a few things for when placing my own order - red gulab, ruh motiya, sandalwood and a few others. 🙂

That's the best use of them!

@mesOUD ‘s Andalas! I’m going to test my patience though, because it will travel with the upcoming Tarakan oil!

Cambodi is arguably my favorite style of Oud. With its iterations in Koh Kong, Pursat…etc

I buy many of my cambodis on the lower cost end of the spectrum. I wanted to turn it up a notch and do a mini splurge on this one. I fell for the marketing on this one too lol. The first email from them I was able to fend off my interest but the 2nd email from them got me.

I think I’m going to be pleasantly surprised. Hopefully.

any thoughts about Cambodi Caramel?
also @SteveE
cheers

The first time I tried it I didn’t think positively about it. But when I tried it the 2nd time things were different.

It’s very similar to a luxury Prachin. The darkness factor is ever-present throughout the experience.

There is a sweetness that is muted at first, but then it evolves into deeper gourmand facets. Its sweetness is not akin to fruit, but more closer to honey. I picked up the darker facets of the scents. In fact I would call it “dark” as if we were mentioning a color. Deep, rich, smooth, and luxurious are tied to that.

Getting more materials for blends on the way, in addition to some incense. Nice!

I once made a bakhoor style incense with dried fruits, vanilla powder and Aussie sandalwood chips. I macerated the lot in a red wine. Was pretty incredible really.

That’s a whole new take on bakhoor wow, must’ve smelled amazing! Didn’t it smell off from the sugars?

I am going to make a BUNCH more resinoid and I am thinking hard about heat-treating some prior to extracting to see if I can tap into some of the aromatic potential of the CK. I have some going on the burner right now and it is just smelling so freaking good. Capturing / condensing the smoke or vapor or whatever you call it that comes off of the subitism is what I would like to accomplish, i know I'm not the first person to try to figure this out.

Quite the contrary. I mean it was sweet but in a delicious way. Like a cross between a mead and a baked pastry. Raw vanilla powder can be very versatile.
