Jungle : Buol Regency, Central Sulawesi (on the Northern Arm) - Indonesia
Class : Wild, Live Tree Filaria - Single Tree Harvest
You'll notice on a map that categorically, Buol Regency is considered to be Central Sulawesi - despite being on the Northern arm of the Island. Just wanted to acknowledge that, in the event you went map surfing.
The Filaria species is interesting in that, by photos alone, it can be challenging to gauge resin density as the chips are often a lighter color of brown (with some visible black resin) - but overall often don't look as compelling as more visually striking Crassna or Malaccensis chips often look. Resin Density is often gauged first by how heavy the chips feel (the heavier, the more resin) - and then by heating them ... when the resin and scent becomes visually and tangibly experienced with the nose.
One of the most bizarre things about Filaria is that even low grade/resin density chips can be very pleasantly scented. I mention this only to say that the resin density on these are superb - and their richness is easily enjoyed in stick form.
THE SCENT
Filaria is an interesting species, in that it can smell like several things...Grassy, Earthy, and Floral come to mind.
Until recently, Filaria wasn't really found in the Eastern Markets - but it's long been beloved in the Gulf Market, especially for it's green, foresty character. Makes sense when you think of it ... a region renowned for lots and lots of sand liking a scent reminiscent of greener pastures.
Arabs have a particular appreciation of Gyrinops and Filarias from Sri Lanka, various parts of Indonesia (like Papua, PNG, and Sulawesi), and most recently from the Philippines for this very reason - for these species ability to bring the jungle into the desert.
This batch of Buol is particularly enjoyable. Expect a really nice, thick Oud note with layers of grassy greens, hints of malty earth, and a peculiar note to my nose that seems to oscillate between florals and chocolate.
This batch wasn't too large - as great woods from Sulawesi can be challenging to come by - let alone a single tree harvest. Grab some while available!
