@PEARL Dear sir. I ve decided to look beyond all thats happening. Cause my brain is drained. Its sort of unbelievable to see such things happen in the Oud community. Its getting rather embarrassing now. I am not a diplomat but an absolute believer of peace and love. I can clearly sense something is not right between a group of people including vendors I respect. I cant stop them from wordraping each other but to guys like me see all this is extremely painful. I request you all to please maintain a decorum. Wear what u like buy what u like. Your choice but please dont bring your personal quarrels to us like this. Someone has to act mature here. What are the seniors doing ? Please stop all of you. Thank you very much. The community is bleeding. Repair it and stop hating each other. This is pure garbage in my straight words. And its stinking.

Dang it Pearl, it's like you can read my mind and put it into words. Hats off to you Bro!
Spot on with Mandeel, I love him, he is original, not a follower, speaks his mind, and gives us a different perspective coming from his culture. He is kind and generous too.
I however, am the epitomy of tolerance and forebearance.

I don't think your IP address was banned, I've had some connection problems with Ouddict over the past couple weeks. Usually I just leave it and get back to it later and it works A-okay.
Informative post on your nomenclature.
I'm assuming that Assamugo Senkoh gets its name from Assam, and Suriranka Senkoh from Sri Lanka. How about Chugoku Senkoh? A quick google search shows that Chugoku means "middle country". Did you name it that due to the wood being harvested near the border between China and India? If so... bravo!

@kesiro when I was banned I found out when trying to log in and it said my IP had been banned. I don’t know the functionality but in my case there was an error message that said so. I just tried and it seems to be working, only now you have to log in and there’s a message that says please register to view forum.
Thanks for this explanation @Ensar. I agree that Suriranka Senkoh is highly addictive. I’ve been swiping small amounts everyday and sniffing the bottle. Such an incredible oil that is tola worthy or even more. Since it’s such a young oil, it is worth using it often so that one can enjoy what it has to offer. I have a backup bottle that I’m going to let sit. I’m not sure if that will ‘age’ it, but it would be interesting to see how the aroma develops after several years.
Did the wood have this same aroma, or is that a result of your distillation techniques?

I haven’t been able to function without it! Just today, I was in a meeting and I kept sniffing my finger in a runny nose type fashion, when a VP says, “there’s some tissue on the side over there if you need some.”
That is seriously amazing though. To think that something from nature can smell like this. Is Walla Patta wood going to be offered in the future?

A few tolas? Holy Moly!! I am always open to holding a few if the need ever be 
I think the Chugoko Senkoh is one to keep very close as well. That kind of Oudh is very hard to come by and each time I smell it, I don't think it can get any better than the first time because that was mind blowing but come to think of it, it is a mind blowing oil every time I sniff it!!
Hopefully one day I will be blessed to smell and appreciate the Suriranka Senkoh!! These Senkoh's are truly a gift from nature and a gift who brought it for us to connect ourselves with @Ensar!!

I dont enjoy the Walla aroma much. Its special though. But gotta get that Senkoh now anyhow

Senkoh this, 3rd & 4th generation that, x+y+z axis blah, blah, blah. Frankly I’m a bit perturbed by it and I’ll tell you why.
But first...The other day I did a review, my own. Went in front of the board for my annual. Granted one is effective, they can fully meet expectations, exceed them or one more class above the others, be commendable. When I looked down at the results of my review, it read exceeds expectations and my response was, "what is this?" How am I not commendable? I began to enumerate all that I had done from projects that I had initiated, research involvement, outside efforts, etc., I vied for the ranking of commendable but fell short. I asked why was I not commendable and was told that what I had done did indeed impact my unit and area of practice as a clinician. I was told that in the history of the hospital that only a very few had ever been rated as commendable. My question was why have a category that's nearly impossible to achieve? I was simply told that in order to be commendable one had to go beyond impacting just their area, they had to be game changers. Commendable game changers whose work positively effected the game for the entire hospital and how it operates.
Oils like Chugoku Senkoh, Lalitya, Suriranka Senkoh and Chamkeila are commendable game changers; I'm perturbed by them as they have impacted me and have changed the way I look and examine my entire collection and all other oils I tried before them. Oils including the pinnacle of the Meghalayans, Assam Kinam, oils like Aatma, Purana, Kambodi '76, etc. all venerable and brilliant oils in their own right. The game changers aren't necessarily better or worse but they do showcase an entirely different expression all the while shouting OUD. Term usage has been coined, abstract usage of ideas like the axises have been implemented, generational category nomenclature used, phrases such as "distillation with no tricks" and "the smell of high grade agarwood heated on low heat" have been said~all in attempt to show and describe the truly indescribable expression that's happening with the game changers. Most that I see discussing the game changers talk of them in the same light, noting a sure and certain uniqueness and difference that they just can't quite put their fingers on; a challenging bunch of oils the commendable game changers are. It doesn't really matter what else is talking as the commendable game changers speak for themselves.

Hey Pearl,
Yes the oils will speak for themselves. Unfortunately they can’t type. So I believe the effort with the Cartesian metaphors and other wonky constructions are attempts to parse meanings and build frameworks that might help each other find the notes, commonalities or differences that will add to our understanding and enjoyment. Very few people have the type of synesthesia where scents are delivered directly to language nuclei. The huge majority of us are aphasic in this regard-in the extreme! As this thread has unhappily demonstrated, the lack of concrete meanings often leads to misunderstandings and rivalries. I do think struggling for a common language is a good thing though, and I hope discussions will always be founded in the collegiality and quest for understanding that brings us to wonder about oud.

As for myself, I experienced a game-changer, or should I say, Ajmal killer.
Eversince I swiped Assam Organic Meghalaya, I can no longer enjoy my Ajmal oils as I once did.
Something in AOMeg restructured my whole Hindi sensing pallete. It was a big let-down because my nose has been trained for years already, so I questioned WHY did I not rise above this hurdle sooner.
So I did side-by-sides with AOMeg and every other Hindi in my collection, and AOMeg comes out the winner each and every time.
I do believe that my personal taste is what made AOMeg the champ "for me", however, I think it falls a tad short of being the Holy Grail of Hindi oils. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll ever find my Holy Grail Hindi, it would be a very daunting task for sure.
