Having spent most of the week in the ether thanks to the sublime Vietnamese twins Kiyosumi and Kenmei, I fall like man himself deep into the earth, where I keep the company of my ancient teachers Assam Organic 07 and Oud Zachariyya...the latter thanks to a very generous member here.
An amazing experience - like stepping into Biblical times.

Harita. Super vibrant and lively sri lankan oil. Green apples aplenty in the beginning! Spot on vocabulary! Refreshing and soothing in a woody sense. Classic Walla Patta pleasant dry down, which lasted 9hours++ total on my skin (with a few rinses and one shower). It has matured well since the last time I tried it, in which the last time(fresh) it was more rugged, dark , piercing, and bitter if I recall correctly. A sri lankan oil worth stashing away for future generations IMO (especially for the current pricetag! )
In the early morning hours, getting ready for a day of surgery, I am sipping some Ceremonial Matcha tea and inhaling stunning note's of Syed's Succor. Merauke has become not just one of my favorite types of oil, but one I find indispensable for dealing with life's stresses.
The SS is so medicinal in its effect. The powerful dark incense contrasts with a delicate bright sweetness, all without any of the wet jungle smell is pure love at first smell. Mesmerizing.

Aku Akira. I got a sample of this with the sampler set and then another little bit free with an order. We've dipped and scraped away at those samples, getting to like the oil very much. Sadly it sold out but we recently got hold of a bottle and this evening we've just had our first swipes from that bottle. There's a certain pleasure and excitement in getting to know an oil through samples and then being able to a have a bigger swipe of the same oil from a full bottle. I think it's only then you can get a true feel of an oil. From the samples we didn't get the 'oomph' mentioned in the description but we get it now, oh yes. It's early days and we're looking looking forward to spending some time with this oil and I'll try and give further thoughts at a later date but for now oud and technology aren't compatible.
Oud Kinamantan (Sample). Mindblowing. Green bitter burning woods. I can best describe it as Siver Forest Balsam. Very Sinensis like aroma without any hallmark beeswax, honey or fruity tones of oud. Sublime and spritual. Like sitting on a tree house after rains and the fog hitting you with a cold moutan breeze. Thank you brothers Ensar and Adam.
