Burn Of The Day/night

NK Borneo and Vietnamese
These granules were designed to be used
in their Sizuro heater.....
Mon Koh style basically.

 

Ken’s Deadwood, RP green Kyara, RP Malawi...ahhh...I’ve achieved liftoff!

 

Shoyeido First Class on the Sub

Wonderful top, but I wish the base were better.


Then some powdered Nha Trang
Incense House Old Stock
Yummm

 

Al Hashimi Filli wood
Soothing

 

NUSA wood from Oudbase
The High quality is amazing and matched the scent!

 

My AH Brunei just arrived
Beautiful resin loaded pieces,
that deserved to be put in a glass jar right away.
Jay was right....what a beautiful smell.
Just a little resemblance to KZ’s Brunei Heartwood,
so overall...not alike.
With Brunei Ghattas,
I get this very refreshing spring garden fully loaded with flowers and white fruit flesh.......
while I’m sitting at my wife’s vanity
with all the pretty perfumes.
Then there’s the oudiness and resins.
I’d swear I got a Rose Damascena note,
along with some Freesias, and even some florals akin to Malaysian agarwood.
A real unique treat to be treasured!!

Then at this same day, my 300 grams of Papua arrived. The region is Fak Fak and it’s known as Soursop Agarwood by the locals. Rightfully so, because it did smell as Soursop a bit,
it starts fruity floral, which then becomes heady, and then oudy with a touch medicinal......and as it gets cooked some more, a bit of a tar note. This wood will fumigate an entire house! not oil rich, nor sinkers, but has resin streaks througout. Not as valueable a profile as the main stream agarwoods, but not too shabby either. Take a gander...

 

Super sinking Khanh Hoa from LMK
This wood is amazing and it’s depth of scent is ridiculous
Not much of this quality and age coming out to the light of day !
Thanks Farid for cutting this chunk

 

Kalimantan Indonesia -

Opens with a chocolate condensed milk that becomes full of spice

Comparing high quality incense grade to super king - solid zebra wood.

 

Kungyokudo Kayo Vietnamese tiny cuts

Old and dry in appearance,
but delivers a nice aura of scent.

I usually go gaga for the sweet type of Vietnamese
agarwood, but some not so sweet can be just as satisfying, the Kayo is slightly sweet, a little bitter,
and quite oudy.

 

Hainan and Borneo

Two beauties

 

Brunei Ghattas from AL Hashimi
WoW!!!
This wood is totally relaxing And completely soothing.
This is the type of wood I loose my mind and most of my oud budget on.

 

Brunei again today!!
I could heat this wood every day and be grateful each and every day , so thankful!
Better get some before I buy it all!!!

 

Had another session with AH Brunei Ghattas.

Go low for the florals and perfume, but you can crank it up medium to high for the
resin, toffee, and dates.......
...by that time your room will be full of aroma.

 

Hey oud heads. What does the shape of the wood chips in the post two above this one tell you about its origins? I have some very similar looking wood. Are those drill holes, and a sign of plantation wood?

 

Absolutely not plantation wood!
Brunei ghattas From Al Hashimi
Full of resin and solid as a rock
