The DHL ealge has landed and Chiem Po Chai is in da house. This, like Taha's Khmer Special K, is a most unusual Cambodi. There is no tutti fruity smell, not even any fruity smell. No fermented notes. What it has is a very unique "red" incense notes. This is not an accessory note oud oil and to my nose seems to be mostly a resin oil. It is very smoky but not is any way similar to Aroha. It has a much less of a 'burnt' character. There is almost a dusty accord which I find extremely seductive.
This is an absulute home run oil, and along with Sulan Salman, rank as some of the finest and most sophisticated Ouds I have experienced.
