Hi all,
Just a bit of background.... I have been interested in fragrance for as long as I can remember. I have large collection of niche fragrances which I appreciate. I started to read further into how they are made, the ingredients involved, and as such, last year sometime, I bought the legends sampler pack from Ensar. (This was after buying some incredibly cheap 'oud' oils from the internet, let's not talk any further about that!)
Over a period of time I tried them out. What a journey it's been! So many different aromas and so many nuances to them all. Clearly i have a lot still to learn and i seek some guidance.
I appreciate there is another thread almost identical to this but I am keen to revisit the topic as what was available then is no longer available now. I wish to understand the different profiles and gain a deeper appreciation of this wonderful gift from mother nature.
What, in your opinions, are the best examples of their region and why?
For Example;
Vietnamese: Kinam Rouge- tobacco, spices, Kinam!
( I have a bottle of this on the way to me as a type, an early 40th birthday present!)
Maybe further to that.....What are the best examples in two categories. Still available and say 'legendary' or no longer available.
HINDI:
CHINESE:
THAI:
CAMBODI:
VIETNAMESE:
BORNEO:
LAOS:
MALAYSIAN:
MAROKE:
NEW GUINEA:
SRI LANKAN:
Thanks to all in advance if you take the time to educate me in this fascinating world.
