Today is Kenmei, what truly smells like Vietnam Special K's baby brother. Unmistakable Vietnam oud scent. IMO, Vietnamese oud is the Rolls Royce of ouds. Gorgeous, stately, dignified and classy. The Kenmei does not have kinam in the forefront like VSK but neverthesless is a very satisfying Vietnamese oud.

Dr. H is certainly a special one, sad I missed it except for 1 wee bottle.
We spent the day in Philly, avoiding cheesesteaks, comically bad drivers and heatstroke.
I totally slathered on TWIS Island Of Cyprus and enjoyed it immensely in the heat. I gave a woman a couple of swipes as she was noce to the monsters and she asked for the website. Also tried to tell her about hreat Oud but she confessed that she was put off with her man wearing it, which I assume is the mostly artificial poop. I love directing people to real fragrance.

Sotn Laos 95 by Agarwood Assam....oh man. I was wondering why there's no muskiness. No salted butter which cracks my head. Instead a get a bitter green mentholic balm like that of a quality Indonesian oil. The green bitterness is rising with negligent oudy dried fruit undertones. There's a force to this. It's creating heavy green pulses of elusive oudiness. Reminds me of Papuan by EO sort of.
Today I tried the one and only, the super duper, extra ordinary, something to die for, the holy grail of Oudh, the extra ordinary, the King of Oudh, something I almost fainted while smelling the first time 5 years ago, the Holy Oudh Royale number 1.
I am just so happy that I got to put a tiny dab on my arm and it's been close to 7 hours since applying and the smell is still so alive and kicking.
This Oudh cannot be talked about enough and it's a mind changing Oudh. Simply perfect is all that can be said!

So you are down to only one kidney my friend?? 
Today was the tale of beautiful and funky. The beautiful was this morning's scent - Sultan Leather Attar. I swear this oils is getting better by the week. The rose and the oud are so well balanced yet you can easily pick them out. Dry down = bliss.
Was craving a little funky tonight so I reached for Royal Bengal from Adam. Burning Bengal incense with animalic, but in no way fecal funk, mixed with a deep sour citrus accord. Awesome.
