Just thought it'd be cool to have a thread in which we can post about what we're burning/heating, and share some thoughts on it.
I've been really loving Aluwwah's Lamb's Breath bakhoor. There's a warmth and roundness coming from the musk that just puts this over-the-top into Hall o' Fame status, for me. That dimension of this blend reminds me of my favorite part of my favorite Tibetan incense; Tibetan Medical College's "Holy Land". The rest of their respective profiles are different from one another, but that fresh, warm bread component is pure, cozy serenity for me.
I also appreciate the absence of frankincense from Lamb's Breath. As much as I love frankincense on its own, I often (but not always) find it to be overwhelming and somewhat cloying in blends. The absence of any sharp and bright top notes in Lamb's Breath allow the warmer, woodier, earthier, and animalic notes to be the centerpoint of this gem. Even the florals are humble and subtle in this symphony.
I thought that Deer's Breath Ultimate was incredibly good, as well (a little more floral than Lamb's Breath), but I think Lamb's Breath is a big improvement... if they should even be compared.
Top notch stuff.
Still available, as of right now, from Aluwwah.
