Really good to see posts about Chugoku Senkoh - for me one of the most startlingly underrated ouds around; its strength and longevity are perfect for my tastes, but more than that is the sheer satisfaction of the aroma.
That bittersweet intrinsic sinensis animalic - good Lord!
Rasoul I would say it is primarily Sinensis only based on the fact that right at the bottom of that animalic note (so to speak) is a hint of babycorn, which for me is a hallmark of sinensis (and sometimes Vietnamese crassna), with the hay overtones providing the Assamese component. My first impression however was that it was primarily Assamese because of the golden hay and hint of rose (which I also got with the Assamugo). It also smells about three times its selling price.
By the way @kooolaid79, you, Sidi, are a legend.
