Must wear again and study it. I definitely get sinesis in there but as a nuance and sprinkling.

How r u finding the strength silage and personality of this oil? Is so interesting how some oils are so divisive and different wearers find them almost entirely as two different oils. E.g how brother pearl and I are seeing chugoku so differently not in scent but strength or oil quality. Ditto me vs taha on ayu. I found it way too loud right off the bat and he found it almost dumb and closed down for a long while...

Strength and sillage are both definitely above average for me, however, this is something I really appreciate - it's not often you have a meditative oil which is also loud. It wraps me in a cloud of primordial zen, and as is the norm with the Senkohs one has the urge to wear it all the time and wear a lot of it.

The personality for me is firstly primordial (the intrinsic sinensis 'twang' which some people may call a non-barn barn - also corresponding to the depth of the scent), secondly it is stable (the overtones of hay, the golden colour of the scent) and thirdly serene, which is the raw babycorn note that has an element of petrichor also attached to it.

Speaking of stable - is Christmas the most appropriate day for a barnyard oud?

Merry Christmas all!

Ensar Oud’s Sultan Abdüs Selam that I’m finally able to grasp. And now it’s sold out. Great. It’s my own fault, as I put off getting my sample for way too long in the first place. Still hurts, though.

Today I put on Agar Aura's beautiful Au Luong Oudh. This is one best Cambodian Oudh I have come across. The oleoresin which is so apparent in this Oudh straight from wild Cambodian agarwood is so unique hitting the notes of iced tea?? Something peachy, I cant really express the sweet aroma. Mind blowing stuff here! I think this is on the same lines as Kanzen, which I will wear another time. Maybe the uncle or cousin? A definite oil to get for people who want to experience wild Cambodian Oudh!!
