It’s beginning to look like I’m going to have an Ateek Series - as this is now the 2nd very very old Oud oil I’m releasing ... and I have several more to release this year 😉

This is a relic distilled during the last World War 😱

This oil is a unique historical relic that I acquired directly from the distillation family that produced it in 1941. I was lucky in that they still had some of the distillation details, which I included above.

“Ateek” - for those wondering, our English word for Antique has it’s roots in this word, which is the same word in both Arabic and Hebrew. It means ooooold ... a fitting moniker for this rare gem of an oil.

Regardless of the specific geo-location, it’s not often we get an uncut family heirloom that is 81 years old and counting.


THE SCENT


First and foremost, I want to say that this oil smells ... ATEEK. It reeks of ancient awesomeness. Timeless old trees in primeval forests. Scents from another Time.

Secondly - Nagaland is known for delightful florals, and although this oil does have some beautiful floral notes - the real joy of this oil is the “antique parchment and scrolls” notes - like ancient books - coupled with an aged scent that simply can’t be duplicated. Time and phenomenal raw materials are the only way to produce this scent. If you’ve ever tried 50+ year old Scotch - you’ll have an inkling what I’m talking about.

This oil hits a lotta sweet spots for me. Hints of Oud Smoke. Deeply Fruity hooka bar tobacco - dry, not sweet. Some hints of fruit leather, a waft of something we might call Hay - and ancient temple wood floors. Not to mention the absolutely addictive musky, animalic notes that’ll keep your nose glued to your arm.

This oil hails from Mokokchung - and all I can say is - as much as I love Nagaland in general - Mokokchung oils hit a sweet spot for me like no other. I have a 1999 Mokokchung pure Kalakassi I’ll be releasing later this year, as well. Stay tuned on that one 😉

It’s hard to think ... this oil was distilled at a time during the last World War - and I’m releasing this at a time we are nearing a possible 3rd World War. Hopefully it’s not too ominous ...

I imagine this is what Gulf Arabs (known as Khaleeji) of the 40’s smelled like, back when oils like this were maybe a little more commonplace. Today - maybe a treasured gram or two are held as dear family heirlooms. Ateek Khaleeji Oud ... now available for the first time in over 80 years 🥰

I haven’t made a big stink about it - but this year is actually the 10 Year Anniversary of founding Rising Phoenix.

We’ve come a long way since starting RPP in 2011. I really started selling products as they look today in 2014 just before Christmas (and plan to have an Anniversary for that landmark, as well) - but we were custom distilling and making products dating back to when we started in 2011. So in wanting to commemorate that, I am releasing a slew of what Rising Phoenix is best known for - cutting edge quality products not found elsewhere.

And that brings us to this very very special release - a special reserve batch of a historical relic from the early 40’s, when the smoke of World War II was still burning fresh in the noses of peoples all around the world.

There’s nothing more Hallmark about Rising Phoenix than the BEST and most UNIQUE oils available aaaaaanywhere 😉💪🏼

1941 Nagaland Ateek is one of our Crown Jewels of our 10 Year Anniversary. I’m happy to share this rare historical gem with you, and I hope a bottle of it is held dearly in your own Vault of Family Heirlooms for future generations to enjoy.

Thanks to 10 Years of your Patronage !
