I got this 1ml deer musk from a seller and its sublime. The musk is so potent and smelling it in intense form is so good. Smells like a sweaty deer! The seller was kind enough to put in more than 1ml, looks like 1.5ml to me.

I am now waiting for order for 6ml of this. Can't wait to receive more of this. For the price it's unbelievable.

After sitting on a sample for 6 months & only swiping when the time is right, I’ve finally ordered 1gram of Silani Sultan - The Attar Store. This was one of my favourite discoveries in 2023. I haven’t tested too many Sri Lankan oils but this has been my favourite so far. It’s actually hard to imagine it gets any better!
There’s a kinamic Taiwanese hint in the very top note which then quickly shifts into the most gorgeous clean blue / oceanic / petrichor / mint. The type of freshness that still amazes me it can come from wood. When the beautiful Walla Patta resin note emerges it’s honeyed, softly vanillic, incensey, buttery like Sandalwood, very refined reminding me of oils from Malinau. I wish I could afford more than 1gram but I’ll savour it & make it last.
This sounds divine. I love your description. May have to get myself some.

Awesome… looking forward to seeing your adventures in sandalwood distillation. you’ve got to find a couple of those wild Sandalwood trees down there in florida and get it going in your yard (can it really be there is Sandalwood growing wild in Florida? )

it was easy to source thanks to our wonderful forum! i ended up getting it from Puresantal at £120 before shipping which came out to about $180something American all said and done.


that sub youre getting makes me want one lol
Lol, you got it from puresantal? You got it through me lol. I get customers for Kareem's sandalwood 😛. And he sold it to you for less than he bought it for, because of me 😉
 
Getting the last Walla Patta, Red Soil (3.54g) from Maunamoku, his Deadwood Hirta oil 1.25ml, full tube of Mysore Sandalwood sticks and some samples (surprises, didnt want to know what the samples were). I honestly really cannot wait, this will be my first real "special" wood, and "new gen" (ethereal) oil 😀

Also got some Tarakan wood, 5g, from Tea Guru or @Guru_AromatiX on the forums, very nice wood, very hard to describe the notes from this, but what I got first time, was notes of intense woodiness (oud scent), resinous, somewhat fruity or floral, or perhaps jumping between both, and a facet of maybe leather (not sure tho) and maybe notes of spice too, the one note I definitely got down was the light sweetness. It's bead making wood, here is some pics:
