Hana Matsuri by Di Ser. There was a big sale for 20 years anniversary by one reseller (gents), and this natural fragrance won the Barcelona Olfaction Week award for the best creation in 2021. I know it's not oud, but I'm very stoked about it and it's because of the novelty. Let's see if it delivers
 
From Fraterworks, currently out for delivery 🙂

Will definitely get back to you on those.😁 Actually, I might pull out one of those you have mentioned to give myself a break from the Crassna's as well.

A. crassna is one of my favourite woods for oils, and one of my favourite woods as well, the scent from my wild Koh Kong 2015 from CraftOud is amazing!!! A lot of the time the Cambodian crassna oils can either be super simple, or super complex (I believe) but they are definitely somewhat newbie friendly, IMO, since (depending on oil) they aren't offensive at all, and are quite simple, aroma wise (although my Koh Kong 2015, can throw me off each time I wear it soooooo 🤷🏻‍♂️). Now I believe Vietnamese oils and woods are way more complex, but can be just as simple to. So I wonder if it is the same for Cambodia, I only have 2 Cambodi Ouds, and I have tried a fair share of Cambodi woods and have some high quality Cambodian incense from Kangiiten, and a tube from NIneRegions. Cant wait to get more Cambodi oils and my Vietnamese organic (naturally infected, but plantation) oil 1g form JK.
 
The fragrance arrived a few days ago: Hana Matsuri by Di Ser. I find this to have a very nice sharp green, green and floral smell. The fragrance feels damp. The house boasts as being completely natural and it shows here. My notes breakdown would be various pine/citrus and floral notes, all carefully balanced with some regal damp notes. I don't get any oud from it that is advertised, and don't find distinct oakmoss (though some more experienced reviewers claim they smell oakmoss). All in all, the fragrance is lovely, it leans into smelling a bit mature though mostly unobtrusive, and I think this makes in acceptable in almost all settings.
Also duration/projection: both good

In my zeal opening my package from @An Najwa and immediately testing my Arakan Classic, the samples also sent in the package must have fallen before I saw them. I knew he was sending some so was surprised I didn't see any. That is, until my bare foot walked on some bubble wrap...🙄
Thank you for another speedy transaction dear brother...❤️❤️

That is such a nice crassna, I was shocked. Delicious and incensy with no funky pungency
 
Just received my Order from An Najwa the Ruh Khus is Brite emerald green and smells great I love this stuff. The kuppi is nice,I want to use it to a Musk maceration and brother sent me some samples as well. A really beautiful Mysor Sandalwood, Assam Oud, and a very nice Khaltat Baghdad. Thanks so much for the samples An Najwa.
