No doubt the Z is amazing! I am planning on bringing it out tonight.
This morning is the very very nice Syed Succor. I love Merauke oils. This one is deeply satisfying. Deep, dark and brooding yet with a sunny brightness. Most of the damp jungle smell does not exist in this oil and there is beautiful subtle sweetness which creates a lovely balance. Dang!

Hey @Gaianmind, the Borneo Thaqeel was unique among Borneos for two reasons: one, it was entirely from Sarawak Province (Malaysia, politically speaking), and two, it was THICK.
I have no plans to do any thick Borneos at the moment (quite the contrary, I'm working on a pretty thin one!) but I AM working on a super thick Thai/Cambodi organic by the name of Oud Haroon. Whoever was infatuated with the original Thaqeel ought to try it and give us their thoughts.
Oud Dhul Q (now sold out) was also a thick version of Aroha Kyaku. Dom Kwan, too, was pretty thick, if not the thickest we've released so far.

Today I put on the beautiful China Sayang. I don't know what is so attracting to these sinensis Oudhs but I'll I know is, that it's some of the best stuff out there in the market crafted by a precision Artisan. The sweet citrus/tobacco coupled with some of the finest agarwood can equal only one thing in a bottle: peace and solace.
"Vietnam Special K" (AA) - holy guacamole, what an oil - I received a .3g qty and transferred most of it to a .1ml v-vial for storage. The remaining little puddle sits at the bottom of the the sample vial, slowly oxidizing and thus "aging" rapidly (and ultimately, probably not as well) in relation to the v-vial sample - a small bit of this is quite delightful today, a soaring and majestic sort of scent..

Not yet ,but Kenmei I did try. It is still young and curing but smells like a baby brother of the VK. Perhaps a little more base but that gorgeous kinam not is there, just not as intense. Basically I would totally agree with the notion that the oils differ on oleoresin content. The Kiyosumi is also on my must get list. Its a Vietnam Oud, what's there to contemplate? LOL
