Oh,its an exccellent oil and i could not word it better than you

And powerful! Easily the most intense oud in the Blind Test.

IO Cambodi Vintage 2002 - properly grown up oudy oud! Leather, little bit of cherry, smooth, well balanced are words that come to mind at the moment...

I second that, I pick up a note of latakia tobacco which I really like.

Was craving a beast and I know of no bigger beast that kyara ltd2.0. Feels like 4 oils swuished to one. So dense that even a micro dot takes for ever to fully open up. At the same time red resin cambodi, old school wild proper hainan and the most bitter sweet medicinal Vietnam. Kinam oozing our of its ying yang. I happen to love the zen scent but oud at this level is. Or about the scent but the mental pleasures.

Has the smoke integrated? The sweet sunshine cinnamon kissed malinau note coming out?

WILL the smoke settle is the question? Right now, I can smell it all the way from beginning till the end. It has more green, grassy opening compared with Borneo 50k with similar sweet, flowery and fruity notes. But the latter notes are more prominent in the Borneo 50k and hidden beneath the green grassiness and ths smokiness in Kencana.

Mirrors my own read and thoughts. Fingers crossed.

I agree with what was said above: the smokiness might not disappear but maybe it will tone down only to the drydown. Who knows. Lets see. Between Kencana and Borneo 50k, which one do you guys prefer?

Kencana v3 I do get slight smoke at the start. It is blending in much better than when I first got the oil. The first hour is still challenging for me but then the sunshine comes out and it is beautiful.
Borneo 50K is the opposite for me. The first hour is great but then the wer cardboard note ruins it for me.
I would take Kencana v3 over 50K especially considering the price is a little more than half of 50K.

royal malinau from taha. the greatest malinau i have had the pleasure of trying. borneo diesel aka white kinam is next followed by b50k.

kencana is not in those tiers but also not priced as such.
