True Ouddict
AA wanmei other day
It has put on weight, gathered more intensity and fully come out of its hibernation. Is a wow oil now. Take kenmei, less green mint, more bittersweet and darker honey notes.
AA philipina 1 last night
Forever a joyous delicious and mind bend oil. Terrific tenacity. Marjoram, lavender leaves, tarragon clover honey. Cooling notes too. Beast oil but oh so smooth and sensual.
AA kencana
Hmmm. Not yet. Or not for me. Too much smoke for my liking for now.
AA royal lao before afternoon nap today
Royal guallam meets shah jahan. They have a baby in China and their neighbour is IO Abdullah cooking FHI. Medium - projection makes it a mustache oil. Mind medicine and a great scent both.
Encens royale 85 few wears in and below is my complete impression:
Was expecting a maroke like oud with more incense and less damp wood, mud, forest floor. I was far off. Virtually zero relation to maroke except maybe the colour and viscosity.
Instead I see it as:
80% Malay (of which tw95 aged longer and lost 30% of its camphoric note + the antique magagony musk note of TWR and a couple pinches of that classic hardcore malay resin in kannan koh or Ahmad)
20% new guniea or more in particular Abdus Selam.
No relation whatsoever to the two Sumatra oils I know FO vsi and AA ambrosia. Also I don’t see any relation to the Aceh variety grown in Sumatra or the wood of VSI from FO.
Great oil for the price. Trrrific after the camphor note quiets down. Very satisfying.
