Nice. In my experience, that type of wood ('teri kulit' in Indonesia) should give a superior smell, and probably a higher yield too.
I had the good fortune of smelling both 1 and 2 last week, and thought I'd share my impressions here, since this thread is dedicated to the oil.
Thai Encens 1:
I tested both 1 and 2 blind, and right away I could tell which one was TE 1, when I smelled it. It had that muted quality that I find in some very, very high quality oils. The kind of oil that blooms after coming in contact with skin. Almost like it comes alive.
The opening and heart notes are a pure agarwood scent, as if the agarwoodiness has been isolated stripped of all regional affiliations. It would have been impossible for me to tell where the oil was from, had I not known beforehand what I was smelling. Off the stick, it has a bottomless depth, much like Oud Mostafa. There's an ethereal quality which isn't really a sharpness, or a scent note per se, but almost like a halo - an uplifting aura hovering over the scent. The dry down is surprising. I smell grape chewing gum!
Interestingly, I didn't detect any fresh still notes in this oil, which is impressive given that this was my impression of the oil just 2 weeks after it was distilled.
Thai Encens 2:
This was love at first sniff. You keep producing organic oils like this, and other oud sellers like me don't stand a chance! : p
Like TE1, there is zero evidence of this oil being distilled from cultivated trees (I am beginning to see how using cultivated trees can actually be advantageous in producing high grade oils - IF done right).
Unlike TE1, this oil is very easy to place geographically. It is unmistakably Indo-Chinese, but there are two distinct stages (both Indo-Chinese). To my nose, the opening is actually the closest thing to Kyara LTD that I've smelled. It has that clean crisp woodiness, and that almost Irian 'cola' type note that Kyara LTD had. If you had sold this as a Kyara LTD 2, you would have had me fooled. Soon after this stage, the second Indo-Chinese stage unfolds, displaying a classic Cambodian fruity sweetness, not too different from that of Yusha. The heart notes are essentially a juggle of these two primary profiles, but of course with much more going on. There's no sourness in the drydown. Just good ol' Indo-Chinese oudiness.
Good job with these two oils, Ensar! The distiller must have thought you were crazy. I do too. : p
(such a huge risk to take)
Now I'm curious what the new TE 1 will smell like...
