FO Old School Kinam. Just before application I had burnt some Black Soil Kyara by Mr Tony Bolton. I wanted its smell to stick to my shirt. But it didnt. Glad I got this oil. What better than the smell of incense grade wood on your skin. Sweet dusty sharp smell with bittersweet smokiness that you get from low heat burning. Brilliant oil. Its a very specific smell. It didnt show my a complex spectrum of aromas but a linear smell with smokey intensity.

Feel-Oud Dr. Hindi,
Cardamom/cumin/clove-flavored 85% bitter dark chocolate beverage garnished with coriander, drops of condensed milk and handful of roasted cashew poured over tobacco leaves, some hay and Indonesian sandalwood rolled with suede leather to make incense sticks.

Then burn one…

Today I put on the beautiful Tigerwood Royale on one hand and the Chugoku Senkoh on the other hand. Oh my what a beautiful combo. Where to start and where to end. Lets just say that people kept glaring at me when I was constantly smelling my wrists. Oh wait, the public hasn't really come across anything so natural and real, so they will keep wondering. I think its good in a way just incase, they come and ask what in the world your doing. I say it may open up their eyes to the real world of oils and they can go home and bury the bottles of syntactic excuse me for saying this but the garbage.
Well who cares about other people. Oudh is not for anyone but You, Yourself , and You only!
The winner was Chugoku Senkoh for me but the TW Royale will always stay very close to me..

Dug up from my vault, Kyara de Kalbar. OMG! An expensive oil that feels like a bargain when you smell it. Purple smoke with Kinam and the most seductive orris scent. One of a kind gem and clearly an heirloom item.

Oh Doc, I still remember that one so vividly and clearly. A boss in his own league. A true emperor looking down on his friends and distant family. Ahh something to be put as a heirloom. Love that quote.

TW Royale brings memories of my grandmothers house. Maybe it is the aged oud scent that reminds me of her home, kind of humid and musty. But as I was going through Hainan 2005 Sultan Abdus Selam, and Xiang Liao Ling, the TW Royale and the Xiang Liao Ling are, at least for right now, the two oils that reach deep.

Its so ironic how these oils can create landscape images in my mind, with the emotional counterpart that I have been to these places in my mind, but in reality I have never been. I say ironic because our sense of smell is the deepest connected perception to our memory, but what memory?
