I love kangiiten! I spend way more than i should but cant resist, but I get really frustrated when stuff disappears out of my cart so I always check out as fast as possible. Seems like I always forget something and have to go back and make a second purchase, yesterday I made 3 and would have went back for a 4th but I couldn't justify another shipping charge.

Dude, I can relate to this so much. I also managed to get the Soil Ambon and a number of other products but there's always more I could get. The conversion of US to AUD is very painful lol.

Its very easy to spend much on the kangiiten website 😆 everything is 20 to 40$ and I am like: ok only 20$ its not much. Till it adds up to 200$+ and I have to clean my cart and take out some stuff 😮‍💨

From Kangiiten I picked up Santal Royale perfume, Sandalwood Special Reserve Oil and the Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal for Samadhi Attar. I also purchased from Rising Phoenix Perfumery. I got samples of Vietnam 2019 Oud, Lavender Côte d'Azur Attar, Shamama Ultra Attar, and Balsam Fir Needle Oil, cause I needed one more thing to hit 10% off everything. My wallet hates me, but my nose loves me 😀. I agree that it is so easy to spend too much on Kangiiten.

If I had not purchased the Kangiiten Samadhi Attar before I would have also went for the buy 1 get 1 free deal. It is a beautiful warming attar that has a perfect balance between the spice of the cardamom and clove and the sweetness of the cinnamon and sandalwood.

I passed on it assuming it would be in the realm of shamama style attars, and already having a some exceptional offerings in that style/scent profile. Do you think it's redundant if you already own or have experienced a couple shamamas before?

I have only tried one type of Shamama Attar and that is the one from mesOUD Shamama Malik, so please take my comments with that in consideration. For the inexperienced nose the comparison would be that they are both "spicy" and "sweet" and somewhat similar. The shamama seems to have lots more going on with many ingredients and is more earthy whereas with the Samadhi I can distinguish the few different notes clearly. In my opinion they are a very different and the Samadhi is worth getting if you like cloves/cardamom/cinnamon. Also, the cinnamon is not overpowering, I was worried about that.

Beautifully put Bay Oud! Shamama from what I've gathered from YouTube videos uses several more spices and herbs in addition to clove, cardamom, and cinnamon, such as mace, nutmeg, saffron, jatamansi, Himalayan Cedar (A true cedar), and even oak moss, to name a few, probably patchouli as well! All of which contribute to the earthy aroma, and a much greater complexity, but I can see Samadhi working well, as a brighter alternative to Shamama.

One thing I love about these compositions is their ability to transport me instantly to Autumn, whatever time of the year it might be.

Thank you dear Ahmaoud! I will be looking to try different type of Shamama.

In the evening after a shower I decided to put on the Samadhi again, I had to revisit it after our conversation. I noted before that it was energizing, but there is more to that. It clears my mind, which puts me in an energized but meditative state, especially during the first hour of applying it (maybe it is the added effect of Ramadan evenings 🙂) It then transitions to a sweeter note, like a mix of sandalwood and cinnamon. There are some smells that are energizing and wake you up, you can not really sleep after putting it on. The Samadhi is not like that, I was able to fall asleep with a clear mind.

If anyone didn't get a password for Craft Incense, it's "lily". There seems to be an issue as I didn't get an e-mail but my friend did. After placing an order it asked me to subscribe, so I was no longer on the list...

Nice haul! Next month I'll be doing a similar buy from Mesoud. So many nice things on that website.

I couldn't let that go by either. Very precious stuff.

2x clamps so I can build my own lab stand from wood and wire, a 12kg bucket scale to weigh my bucket-o-dust, some storage bottles, and a pump recommended by Clawhammer Supply (who sold me my still) to circulate water through a 55gal drum so I don't have to run precious water from a faucet 😀

Fingers crossed my Kangiiten order shows up today. I can't wait to try my KZ sandalwood spray, the agarwood powders, auspicious powder, smudges, and a prof incense sampler.

Unfortunately nobody from Kangiiten returned my emails and I got stuck with all 3 shipping charges for the one box shipped. That's okay Kangiiten I still love you! To prove it I spent another $200 last night.

They can still do a partial refund on shipping, maybe they were busy, try sending another email.

Got some early birthday money that I get the rest of (£700 overall, £80 less now) on around May 1st, and bought this from Kangiiten:

I really like Filipino wood and had some given to me for free, that was 20.85grams of different grades, some semi sinking, some sinking and some just average and all of it was wild, this was before I even knew what this forum was and was on reddit incense sub. The person who gave it to me is currently on this sub, but dont think he would like it if I posted his name, he never posts as he is way too busy, I will always appreciate him for that though, and I have some other high quality Filipino wood that I got gifted 6-6.5g of, so I know how GOOD wild Filipino wood should smell like. Hopefully this smells real good, since I do love the profile (every now and then as the super sweet medicinal notes can be quite intense so I am expecting this 6grams to last me a while). And I hope the Golden Leaf is as good as Olfactory Nomad's batch!!!
