Hainan 2005
So I love Chinese oud. I mean really love it. I've got Hainan05's cousins, Yunnan 2003 and Exclusive. Both of them awesome. Hainan05, the best of all three? Well it's darn good. The bittersweet neroli laced animalics here are slightly less aggressive than the Yunnans (which are lovely as well, and sometimes exactly what I want). But here they are hauntingly beautiful. Love this one.
Just put this one on again after bathing my young boys and had been wearing Kynam No1 all day, which I thought had unfortunately been washed entirely off. So I keep getting wafts of kinam from the Hainan 2005, it weaves its way in and out, could this be the Hainan05 or is it last bit of the Kynam No 1? Guess I'll be forced to revisit this one soon, what a shame
UPDATE 9/11. Ok. So DEFINITELY the most amazing kinam note in the drydown here. This oil is special folks.
