trio of new agar aura oils. quick impressions on the skin:
kuzen: while there are those red pursat cherry laced tobacco notes, there is more bitter and even green notes here. shares some resemblance to IO viet zephyr and kinam rouge. very young. needs time. aside from the aromatic profile, the behavior and spine of this oil is more Vietnamese to my experience. shows that is a young oil. fair price. great for keeping for future unless you really enjoy the teenager behavior of this oil and find yourself takign great pleasure in oils like viet zephyr at their current stage of aging.
sutera sumba: pretty. floral, perfumed, lifted notes like the texture of some borneo/malinau oils (not in scent) meets a oil that otherwise has resemblances to green papua. but then there is a bit of a more serious substance underneath. as a fellow respected member
@kesiro told me, he sees port moresbey as closest oil to this. for me i dont really see another oil close enough to this to compare. maybe a 50% green papua, 10% malinau, 10%kianamantan and 30% something else with more pretty, lithe, ethereal notes. i was expecting a much louder and more angular oil, but this oil for its young age is very settled and quite refined already. i strongly recommend trying this oil for it carries a unique top note and overall scent profile. i was expecting to have an aha moment having known sumba via the co distillation of ensar's sultan abdus selam. but nope. nothing registers now or yet.
p.s following in 30-45 minutes post application. as it sits longer on the skin what had originally registered with me but i coudlnt pick out is now zoomed in: sandalwood. a creamy buttery, diacetyl, milky high beta santanol sandalwood scent. first time i am seeing this in any oil. por favor professore
@Taha , explain! also a very slight nuanced note of ambergris and sea spray.
and now drum roll pls. hindustan no 1: mokokchung. wow! this is a serious wow oil. chugoko senkoh like body/style but a slightly to moderately different and prettier of a scent. high mountain, glacier like scent. i see that something blue but not that obvious (which i am happy). super refined, super fine, and terrific hindi. to come from me i guess it means something. the hay is there. that coumerinic note. the super clean barn. but it comes and goes and it is so light on its feet. this stuff is awesome. price is high, but a small purchase is a must for every one. mark my words: this will be a benchmark oil for all to be comapred to for years if not decades to come. this will be a legand. a masterpiece and even more so than philipina no 1, the quadro of vietnamese oils... this is even considered on a higher plain in my eyes and experience than syed ascent or even much beloved royal malinau.
