Suriranka Senkoh

[kesiro]

The eagle has landed! Suriranka Senkoh is in 'da house!

So what is it like you ask??? I have had the blessings and good fortune to experience some incredible oils from the undisputed masters of our time. So I am not easily prone to overwhelming praise and ogling. But......, this oil is such a thing of beauty, I can hardly contain myself. It is like a piece of music so beautiful and moving, it can bring you to tears. Handel' Messiah comes instantly to mind. The depth of the scent is stunning. It has a honeyed sweetness which is so sublime. Not in your face, but coying and delicate. A brilliant blue green scent is up front and center the whole time but it is not overpowering. Whips of white smoke permeate through ever so gently. This oil however, is by no means weak. It is quite potent, but at the same time so delicate in its presentation. I have never smelled anything like this. Ever. It is a masterpiece and an instant legend.
Still. In. Awe.

How do you compare it to AA Ceylon 1?

The Ceylon 1 is an incredible oil in its own right. The honeyed notes are unparalleled but it does not have the blue green element. It is also more sweeter in general. A gorgeous oil and in the same league quality wise but the SS has its own thing. I would consider these to be the finest walla patta oils i ever experienced.

Many many congratulations to you Sir. I wish I could have gotten it as soon as the release happened but hopefully soon in due time. Very happy for you Doc!! Keep us in mind when your applying it next time!!

I tried Adam Bro s Sri Lankan today. Second time. Ceylon had no blue green notes (Absolutely second that Kesiro Sir) This one has it fortunately. I will get my SS soon too when I recover from this month's overindulgence. The blue green notes are delicious. The turpentine notes of Walla is not the most soothing to my nose but the DNA is unique overall. Really excited. But my oh my those walla woods look so damn ancient in the videos. Full of resin. Wow.

I have applied Suriranka Senkoh a few times now...and what an astonishing oil it is. Off the dipstick I get a hint of pennywort bitterness and a dash of violet, and of course this aquamarine heart which is utterly unique. On the skin and as it evolves, there is a perfect freshwater note which cools a cocktail of soft florals. One wants to speak of the walla patta signature notes, like apple and honey and so on, but this time it's different - you are so deep in the core of the oleoresin that you only get half a honey note, and a quarter of an apple peel note, so to speak, because all of them are so tightly bound together that none of them gets a full particular expression. Instead you have pure walla patta heart in a cocoon of aquatic floral sweetness. A serene masterpiece.

Both Ceylon No. 1 and Suriranka Senkoh share in this quality of heartbreaking beauty and for me they are unparalleled treasures. All I can say is God bless the artisans.

@Nikhil S Is that Si Lani by Adam or is it a new Sri Lankan?

@Shabby - You have more eloquently put what i was trying to say. These are treasures of the highest order.

What a marvellous description sir ! Regarding the sri Lankan the name on the bottle is Sri Lankan Artisan. Pretty linear structure but quite beautiful. However too early to say.

greetings fellow scent hounds. this oil was my second full vial order of any oud. i dont have much to add except highlight the following from kesiro's post: " It is quite potent, but at the same time so delicate in its presentation." airy, ethereal with an energy that is uplifting instead of grounding. when i wear it, the sensation is it makes me feel weightless.
