Jungle : Tanjung Selor, North Kalimantan Bulungan Regency
(Adjacent to the Coast, and across the Bay from Tarakan Island - Bordering both North and East Kalimantan)
Class : Wild, Incense Grade Malacenssis and Candan/Hirta Chips
Distillation : New Gen : Stainless/Copper Hybrid Hydro-distillation - Distilled at the beginning of October 2021
The town of Tanjung Selor is the capital of both the North Kalimantan province in Indonesia, and of the Bulungan Regency. It is the only provincial capital in Indonesia that is a district (kecamatan) and which as of 2021 does not yet have city status, except for Mamuju in West Sulawesi.
Tanjung Selor was a small market town under the Sultanate of Bulungan, which later became the subject of the Dutch East Indies. After the Indonesian National Revolution, it became part of the Swapraja (Autonomus Royal Region) of Bulungan following Decree No. 186/ORB/ 92/14/1950 from the then-Kalimantan province governor. This later changed again into the Special Region of Bulungan under Law No. 22 of 1955. In 1959, the sultanate was abolished and became a second-level administrative region, now called a regency.
Tanjung Selor was split from Tanjung Palas District, based on Bulungan Regency Law No. 13 of 2002, together with other seven new districts after the decentralization. Before the creation of the new North Kalimantan province split from East Kalimantan, it was determined to locate the provincial capital on mainland Kalimantan rather than the in the then-largest provincial city of Tarakan, which is an island. As such, Tanjung Selor is among few Indonesian provincial capitals to be created from scratch, alongside with Sofifi and Palangka Raya.
Geographically, the district is mostly a flat, low-lying region with hills whose height varies from 0 to 500 meters above sea level. The district borders Central Tanjung Palas District in the north, East Tanjung Palas District in the east and the south, and Kayan river in the west. Soil in the district is acidic, with a pH range between 4 and 6. Another river, the Selor, also runs through the district - and just to the East is the Celebes Sea.
Coastal Agarwoods, especially with proximity this close to the ocean - usually smell spectacular - with hints of sea breezes and salty air present in the oil - and the specific region is known for a lovely floral note in its Agarwoods.
THE SCENT
This is the first oil I'm releasing from a new distillation partner - which means juicing on new equipment, which means a new and distinctive scent, as the equipment really does impact how an oil smells. New Territory for us at Rising Phoenix, with several test batches we've run, and multiple new oils in process. 2022 should be a lot of fun 😉
Personally, I really like incense-style distillations both for their complexity, as well as their potency, and I break those down in to two types of distillations :
1. Smokey Incense - more akin to heating a chip on charcoal
2. Not necessarily smokey - but an incense'y character to the oil that is like the first wisps of heating a chip on one of our Subitisms
Tanjung Selor 2021 is distilled in the latter style - and you'll be quite pleased with the sheer depth of the scent.
New Gen/Non-soaking style means no fermentation notes and a clear, clean odor profile devoid of any barnyard.
I often shelve oils for 1-3 years before releasing them, or at the very least a few months. However - I wanted to get this oil out as I think it'll develop a spicy floral quality that I want you to witness while it's in your hands. It'll continue to deepen and thicken as it ages, and the floral notes should get even stronger than they are now over the next year or two.
To produce Tanjung Selor 2021, we juiced Incense Grade Malacenssis and Candan/Hirta Chips, and you'll notice a hint of floral milkiness already present on the front end of the oil.
The oil when it first came out of the still was GREEN. It's settled to a BLACK’ish GREEN color, with hints of red when the light hits it right.
Subtle notes of Sea Salt and Ocean Breezes are also present - notes I find more commonly from trees close to the ocean. It's as if the trees inhale deeply of fresh sea breezes, and in turn store those beachside memories to later be released when heating their resin.
What you can expect here with Tanjung Selor 2021 is the enrapturing scent of gently heated resin dense chips releasing their minty floral aromatic goodness on one of Rising Phoenix's Subitisms, along with delicate incense smoke and deep, deep resin bubbles.
Lasting an incredible 12-16 hours or more on skin, and lasting days on the label of my jacket.
This is the first release of several new oils that are in the works with a new distillation partner. We've been running test batches and have been getting some spectacular results. Tanjung Selor 2021 is the first release in what I'm sure will be an awful lot of great smelling oils from Indonesia and Rising Phoenix!
