KinamFest 2017: London

[Rasoul S]

A big Thank You to all who attended the UK OudFest this year! We were thrilled to catch up with a couple of familiar forum voices in person, so I just had to sneak in a few shots with them…

Here we've got @JohnH, who really digs the Hindis (the barnier the better!)

@Shabby (in the middle) who is still recovering from Nha Trang LTD

… and old-time Basenoter Nick, who many will remember for the comprehensive scent chart he complied some years ago.

It was a true pleasure meeting all of you, and to see the genuine appreciation and love you have for oud.

Comprehensive scent chart you say! Any chance you may have a copy or link to share @Kruger? Ty in anticipation.

@JohnH Oh my goodness. I have never smelled a beauty as haunting as Nha Trang; it is like the deepest twang of mahogany sadness, or the mellow beauty of a cello being played by a master cellist...echoes and reverberations of a thousand years of the life of a tree from a sacred jungle. It smells like kinam, undoubtedly, just like the Borneo Diesel (piercing white kinam) and Port Moresby (kinam smoke) which I also tried, but the Nha Trang takes the kinam note and buries it in the heart of the most excruciatingly beautiful Vietnamese woodiness.

Ah Nha Trang...one oil that you would gladly trade your oil collection for it! [emoji16]

I was told that their participation was very last minute, hence no forewarning was given.
I too was hopeful to attend, and would have likely made the trek to meet some faces, noses, and be at ground zero.
I stand by my earlier proclamation that a group field trip is in order, let's make it so for 2018, insha'Allah.

Seconded.
