Was fortunate to be able to sample this oil, and it is a marvel. If you like Chinese oud, you will LOVE this one.
It has a purity and depth you can easily appreciate. The orange peel notes are integrated with this gorgeous animalic note. Not the classic Hindi barn but reminiscent of it. Clearly an inherent scent from the wood.
It is hard for me to describe this scent but it is beautiful. Not quite as sour as the Hainan 2005 to my recollection but I need to do a head to head.

I will have to spend some more with it but I can safely say, this is the best Chinese oil I have tried.

Completely agree with kesiro's comments and conclusions. It has everything you love about CE and Yunnan with an added sweetness which really makes it such a complete scent and very desirable to wear. I love my Chinese oils but admittedly I don't wear them often. I would wear Sayang any day..any time..
