Same thing with @NinjaRobb ...went around Russia and then back to him...before finally arriving today...Right now the U.S. is not doing so great either. After I posted the above I had second thoughts about the "Order from overseas" part! Russia is NOT quick at all

Received my sandalwood from India, but I don't have much to compare it to. I find it woody,waxy, and a little sweet. Not very strong smelling at all. I have several kinds coming from Rising Phoenix, I think. Will be interesting comparing them. I must say, the little 10 ml aluminum bottle is interesting!

It will be interesting to hear your thoughts. So you haven't smelled sandalwood before? It is indeed a gentle oil - very heavy and good at modifying fragrance but gentle in itself.
I would say this is an average authentic sandalwood But does not compare to some of my vintage material from really high-quality sources.

Wow. DHL already bringing the IO Nha Trang & Yunnan oils that I ordered this weekend. Thats crazy. USPS just took two months to bring me something from Rhode Island!
DHL just pulled the old “we tried but you weren’t home”. I was sitting there watching the front door. Can’t trick me! Lol

Yes. $25 from a quarter of the way around the world. Not just within the same continent.

(I should say I love the usps and especially the media male rate for my business— it’s just been a tough time for them)

DHL is by far the most likely to shock me with the speed of delivery. It sometimes seems almost impossible. Like how could it physically travel and also clear customs in the brief time between when I order it and when it gets here.
FedEx is usually the worst but I actually had a large heavy air compressor delivered seven days before the estimated delivery date! I placed an order on New Year's Eve, it was processed the day after New Year's Day, shipped from New York FedEx free shipping and scheduled arrived in Oregon on 1/12. I got it yesterday! It's like it went air/express by mistake instead of cheap ground shipping. Given the holiday and two weekend days... I feel like there was a time warp or something. I am still confused honestly.

Yes. DHL amazes me. I don't know how they do it but I'm happy they do! To be clear. I don't blame the people mailing the items for the slow shipping times. They have no control over that. It does annoy me a bit when things take more that a week to ship. But I'm sure I'll survive

Purchasing anything on line is a good lesson in patience and its development in the self....🙂Yes. DHL amazes me. I don't know how they do it but I'm happy they do! To be clear.

Siberian Musk arrived from Ninjarobb
Looks like chocolate, smells like chocolate,
tastes like chocolate, oh snap! He included a free chocolate candy. Yummmmmm.
The musk...some fresh grains as requested,
did a side by side with the same stuff from two years ago, the older batch , even though stored properly, turned darker in color, and lost some of that fresh ZING😵 It’s nice to have fresh musk.

I thought it was compressed musk shipped to avoid suspicion until I tasted it too...
