This is indeed from the same distillation family, distilled the same year, from a different single ancient tree.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhereas 1941 Naga Ateek is hints of smoke wrapped about a deeply fruity hooka bar tobacco - Mokokchung Ateek is hints of fruit hiding inside a blazing charcoal chip. I get hours and hours of incense smoke from this beast, and it's glorious. More on that shortly ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a relic distilled during the last World War šŸ˜± \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eā€œAteekā€ - for those wondering, our English word for Antique has itā€™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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegardless of the specific geo-location, itā€™s not often we get an uncut family heirloom that is 82 years old and counting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust consider for a moment how a good bottle of Scotch is valued. 16-18 years old is already getting rare. 20-25 years old, and maybe a fortunate few will get themselves a bottle. 30 years old? 50? Usually fewer than 100 bottles will be sold world wide. And to find an 80+ year old bottle - you could have a down payment on a house!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI only mention this to emphasize just how rare it is to find an oil like this made available to the public, and at a price that is less than a really old bottle of whiskey - and at a price tag far below what you'd expect on a dram of a bottle that old. These are historical relics, juiced from ancient trees at a time when all the best wood would have been tossed into the pot to make the richest, most excellent oils that simply are not possible to reproduce today in any kind of scalable capacity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst 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. Whispers of history long past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecondly - Nagaland is known for delightful florals, and although this oil does have some beautiful fruity\/floral notes on the front end- the real joy of this oil is the dense incense smoke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scent on this is just gorgeous, and if youā€™ve been following my work, you know I break down Incense notes into 2 categories :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. Incense Character - which can include anything that smells incensesā€™y or resinous, but not necessarily smokey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. Smoke - like incense smoke from a Japanese-style Senkoh stick, or smoke from a chip on charcoal or a Subitism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI love both categories, but I personally really love Incense Smoke in oils - and Mokokchung Ateek is RICH in thick incense smoke like billowing wafts from a thick chip on charcoal šŸ„°\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'll notice the artwork I have for this oil, and I'd say it's spot on for the scent. Kinda reddish purple florals layered over the orange burn from the charcoal, and thick, dense smoke permeating your nostrils.šŸ«¶šŸ¼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese kinds of ancient scents are hard to be duplicated. Time and phenomenal raw materials are the only way to produce this kind of textural scent. If youā€™ve ever tried 50+ year old Scotch - youā€™ll have an inkling what Iā€™m talking about. Now imagine an additional 30 years of maturing and you've got an idea of just how delectable this oil is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMokokchung Ateek 1941 is an oil for the archives - a centerpiece on your trophy shelf. I imagine for those of you that like to commemorate special occasions with special scents.

By this I mean that certain types of woods are generally not seen in our market over on this side of the world, but are favored more over in the Far East - in the Asian markets of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat kinds of woods am I referring to? Woods like Kyara\/Kynam, Soil\/Clay woods, and particular insect formations - like Ant Woods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy is that?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerally for a few reasons ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first is the most obvious - price. The Asian market is generally willing to pay higher prices for certain types of formations that they consider special, having either a superior scent characteristic - or a more nuanced one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother obvious reason is direct heat vs. indirect heat - referring to the Arab's preference for charcoal heating vs an indirect method like electric, or burying charcoal in rice ash - like that used in a Kodo session. Some types of woods are best not enjoyed on Charcoal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is meaningful in a few ways ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirstly - delicate woods require delicate heat. Tossing on charcoal generally means you'll miss out on the nuance - and favor just the resin notes that tolerate the higher heat. Enjoying really expensive woods in this way means you'll miss out on what makes them expensive - the nuances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second thing here is that many of these other types of formations are more temp sensitive, in part due to how their particular formation forms - but also because many of these other types of formations tend to be thinner formations. In particular here - are Ant wood formations, like which we used to produce this oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnt formations tend to be thin formations made by the tree responding to ant colonies burrowing into the trunk wood. You read that correctly - the infected wood used in this distillation is formed by a particular insect - the ant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnt woods aren't often seen in Arab shops in the Gulf. In fact - I almost exclusively see them spoken of and offered in Asian circles, where they have a particular taste for their delicate sweetness. Ant wood is ideally enjoyed on delicate, indirect heat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough most distillations will likely have a little Ant or Insect Wood tossed in the pot as wood is being added indiscriminately - rarely do we see single batch distillations made SOLELY from Ant. Our first oil, Terengganu Ant was a big success and sold out quickly. As I am currently in the process of collecting enough suitable Ant Wood to run a second batch - I have a vintage batch of very unique Ant Wood oil that I present to you, distilled a few years back. I present to you, Ant-teek 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT ANT-TEEK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the name implies - this oil smells ancient. Or as we've come to be calling vintage batches from 2000 or earlier, \"Ateek\", after the Arabic word for Antique or Old. This oil smells like an ancient library. More on that in a moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst, a little history on this oil ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have a few distillers I work with in West Malaysia, and some of my own equipment and operation in East Malaysia. This particular oil was distilled by the same guy I work with to produce my Tiger King Series and several other West Malaysian oils I've offered over the years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular guy and his brother took over their Dad's operation when he retired. You should see some of the stuff he had in his inventory. OMG. But I digress ... I work with both brothers - and although they are brothers - they have their own individual operations. One brother deals solely with wood, and the other deals with woods, and also distills and makes beads. It's this brother that I tend to work and collaborate with, and we've been working together for quite a few years at this point. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oils he produces for me are custom productions - hence the Tiger King Series. He also distilled Terengganu Ant and Ipoh Strawberry for me. As I've been wanting to make another Ant distillation, and it takes quite some time to collect suitable material and some quantity of it to juice, he offered me an oil he shelved that he had originally produced for the Chinese Market back in 2016. Just a few Tolas of exceptional quality that for whatever reason, he kept. I imagine when you smell it you'll understand why he kept it. haha But, since we are currently collecting woods, and it takes longer these days than it used to, he offered this vintage oil to me to hold me over.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDistilled in the style that has come to be known as a New Gen style - but not quite the same. New Gens tend to be really Top Note rich, and although this oil will punch you in the face with it's Top Notes - it's the sheer depth of the scent that makes this oil truly unique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat I can't figure out is - does the oil smell like this because it has nearly a decade of aging on it, and this is what all my New Gens will smell like 8 or 10 years out - or was this oil unique to begin with? Whatever the case ... it's a winner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs mentioned previously - imagine the scent of an old library. Ancient hand-written works of art and hand-bound leather books housing sweet, vanillic parchment pages filled with the histories and stories of long past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou stop to thumb through a book, cracking it open and breathing deeply - that scent that only old books have - like vanilla and spice - greet your curiosity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs you browse endless rows of lovingly worn Teak and Mahogany shelves, you marvel at the worn polished and lacquered wood floors worn smooth by centuries of book worm's feet browsing the isles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWafts of varnish and stone catch your nose as the heat from your expedition gently warms the air.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mix of Beccariana, Malaccensis, and Hirta no doubt impact this unique scent, either. The oil has a Purple tone to it - likely from the Beccariana - like wafts of Concord Grapes and Kudzu Flower Jelly ... delicacies both in Japan and here in the Southern US. Rich Asian Spice from the Hirta that'll pleasantly tickle your nose. Rounding off with that hit of sweet, syrupy Malaysian Malaccensis Oud resin that'll anchor your feet back down to the ground after your head has been in the clouds from the opening. It's an experience that is both exhilerating and meditative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis oil smells ancient. The Ant Woods used must have come from quite old trees, because you can almost smell the centuries of intelligence locked into them. And knowing the stocks he had access to from his father's archives of inventory all those years ago - I have no doubt this unique oil was produced from ancient trees. You can really smell it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a special oil, not just because of the caress of age, nor due solely to it's unique production from Ant Woods ... this oil is different. You'll understand what I mean when you smell it. I can only hope that some of the New Gens I've been producing will settle into something like we have here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnt-teek 2016 is a true Ateek Gem - ancient Ant Wood that'll delight your senses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmall-batch vintage production.

This oil, like Kakawit 2010, was produced specifically for a Kuwaiti client - the very client whom I sourced this from. This is the remainder of what was a very well received oil, and he squirreled away a portion for a rainy day, of which I have acquired all that remains of it. Doubt he ever expected an American to be his umbrella nearly 50 years later šŸ˜†\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the tastes of his clients were different back in the 70ā€™s - expect this oil to be more traditional, but in line with the quality and class of the other old oils in my Ateek Series.

Itā€™s obvious this is an old oil, and was made from ancient trees. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo put it simply ā€¦ it is superb. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhereas Kakawit 2010 is more of a pre-New Gen style - Manila 1976 is an opulent, deep, rich old Arab flavor thatā€™ll hit the spot in a way that newer oils somehow donā€™t (yet šŸ˜†).

Parts of it may sound like Dhansiri 2010, but I assure you ... this is an entirely different beast !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an exceptionally unique oil - distilled in a tiny village on the border of Assam\/Nagaland, and harvested from a small hilly\/mountain range East of the village, in Nagaland. The town is not easily accessible, and I had to send my team down through Nagaland to reach the area. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe acquired a few oils from the small distillation family that's been making oils for the last few decades - this same oil I used part of to make Anahata 2023. Highly worth checking out. The other is Dhansiri 2010 ... a highly unique batch distilled from a single 180+ year old tree. Keep an eye open for those.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a really unique scent. Distilled from a single, old tree at least 200 years old, with nearly 4 decades of aging on it - this is quite a rare specimen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scent, itself, is exceptional. It's a Traditional Oil, but don't let that scare you. What little fermentation there was has been dramatically smoothed over with time ; like old whiskey that loses its bite. To my nose, I wouldn't even say there are any fermentation notes. Rather, more of a very gentle leather and hay, but they aren't in the forefront. More of a textural quality, layered over a transcendental experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a dark oil profile - one that I usually call a Whiskey Profile - meaning some smoke or peat to it. The smoke, however, is secondary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore than that - this is an exceptionally rare profile of oil that most connoisseurs would call VAPOROUS\/VARNISH. These types of profiles are near impossible to find, and are highly coveted once they are. Usually found only in very aged oils, made from exceptional base quality material. Nobody quite knows the secret to distilling these - and I highly suspect it is a profile quality that can only be developed over time - making these excedingly rare gems that belong in every serious collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterestingly, this oil reminds me of some scents from my childhood. I grew up in New Jersey before moving to Atlanta in late elementary school. I can't even pinpoint what it is that it reminds me of, except that it smells ANCIENT, and that it invokes a nostalgia that I can't quite explain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven more strangely - there is a lightness to it - as it is also contains some floral and spicy aspects to it. \"Spicy\", as Indians would say. Don't expect \"cinnamon and spice\" notes. The floral tone to it I wouldn't say smells like any particular kind of flower - but rather that floral quality that the best Nagaland woods are known for. Not right out in the open, but they are there, waiting to be discovered, adding to the tonal quality of that intoxicating vapor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a definite hint of smokiness to the oil, like a hunger for delicious wafts of incense smoke that only a chip on charcoal can satiate. It's not overpowering ... and it'll leave you licking your lips for more. Paired with that coveted vaporous note ... this is sure to knock your socks off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's a lot of development on the skin. Twists and turns. I've noticed it also shape-shifts as I walk from inside in the air conditioning to outside in the heat and humidity. This oil has a lot of personality. A lot of faces. I imagine this will be fun to wear in any season. Certainly suitable for celebratory occasions, as you will feel like a Sheikh wearing it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've sent samples to a number of clients and gotten a lot of feedback on it. Funny, and highly positive feedback. Funny because, really complex oils like these usually need several wearings for your brain to wrap itself around what it's smelling. There's no context in most of our cultures for the brain to compare it against, so it'll have to form new pathways to interpret it. Don't be surprised if you don't quite warm up to Dhansiri on first application ... but by the 3rd or 4th have grown to love and crave it. I see this happen a lot in oils like this. All the feedback I've gotten on this oil has been so - with several loving it right away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'll notice a superbly vaporous resin note to the oil, as well. Deeply resinous and piercing, like peering into a bottomless pit that somehow manages to peer back into your soul. Like points of light rippling on the deep ocean's surface at night. Like the green eyes of a Jaguar from the jungle's darkest night.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've ever heard the term \"VAPOROUS\" or \"VARNISH\" - this oil belongs in your collection as a reference. Use it to train your nose - and to recognize this rare quality in other oils.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDhansiris 1987 is a super Ateek Series oil. One that belongs on the shelf of every collector.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has an ancientness to its odor profile. Old antique furniture. Rustic library. Ancient spaces. Old jungle. Vaporous Resin !! Peer into its depths ... and it'll peer back. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a really excellent oil, and I hope you'll find some space for it in your collection. I've offered this at what I consider a very gracious price for the experience. This is a gem worth grabbing.

It was presented by Jean Patou as 'the world's most expensive perfume' right at the time of The Great Depression in 1929, when the market of luxury fashion crushed and Jean Patou's house could survive only through the perfumes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJOY is created of rare flowers in unique concentration of 10600 flowers of Jasmine and 28 dozen Roses adorn the exceptional heart of this perfume.

The composition starts with fragrant jilt tuberose, luscious rose, ylang-ylang blossom, aldehydes, sweet and mouthwatering pear, and green notes. The heart beats passionately in pure and sweetly fresh jasmine notes, seductive and balmy spicy and darkened iris root. The base whiffs with sensual musk, warm and milky-powdery sandalwood, with mild musky civet tones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bottle, of simple and straight lines with a golden thread around its neck, was designed by the architect Louis SĆ¼e in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml sizes for Eau de Parfume and 30ml and 50ml sizes for Eau de Toilette. Regardelss of its simplicity, the bottle leaves an impression of luxury and hints that its content is one of the best perfumes of the world.

Its name is derived from the French transliteration of a Japanese female name, Mitsuko.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a fruity chypre whose Top Notes include : \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBergamot, Rose, Jasmine and Citruses\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeart Notes are Peach, Ylang-Ylang, Lilac, Rose and Jasmine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBase Notes are Oakmoss, Spices, Vetiver, Cinnamon and Amber.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMitsouko was created by perfumer Jacques Guerlain in 1919. The perfume has remained continuously available ever since, albeit reformulated countless times. Finding an old iteration is quite rare, and highly coveted. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMitsouko is preserved in its original 1919 formulation in the archives of the OsmothĆØque, donated to the collection by Thierry Wasser. It has been re-formulated several times in the modern era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was a favorite fragrance of Charlie Chaplin, Ingrid Bergman, Jean Harlow, Sergei Diaghilev, and Anais Nin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is no definitive information on the origin of the name. One account of the origin of the name is that it was inspired by the name of the heroine of Claude FarrĆØreā€™s novel La bataille (The Battle). The novel is set in Japan during the Russo-Japanese War, and chronicles a fictional amour fou between a British Navy Officer and one ā€œMitsouko,ā€ the wife of Fleet Admiral Marquis Yorisaka. Both Yorisaka and the British officer sail to war, and Mitsouko awaits with reserve to see which of the two will return alive to her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe other possibility is that it was inspired by the story of Mitsuko Aoyama, the mother of Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e__________\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Very limited quantity available\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Obviously this is not 100% natural, as it uses the original juice which was not\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Mysore Sandalwood,Mitsuoku Essence","brand":"Rising Phoenix Perfumery","offers":[{"title":"V-Vial 0.3","offer_id":44154982760673,"sku":"","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"V-Vial 1.5","offer_id":44154982793441,"sku":"","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Boxed Quarter Tola 3","offer_id":44154982826209,"sku":"","price":625.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8955\/0305\/products\/il_fullxfull.3549259723_n8ol.jpg?v=1698077482"},{"product_id":"mokokchung-seufi-1999-ateek-series-pure-wild-nagaland-oud-oil-pure-dehn-al-oud","title":"Mokokchung Seufi 1999 : Toasted Nuts, Jaggery and Hay Nagaland Oud Oil","description":"Mokokchung Seufi 1999 : Ateek Series - Pure Wild Nagaland Oud Oil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJungle : Mokokchung, Nagaland - India\u003cbr\u003eClass : Wild Incense Grade Mountain Agallocha - 100% Pure Seufi\u003cbr\u003eDistillation : Stainless, Wood-fired - 1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet me say simply - this oil is punching above it's price point. Way above.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is mountain oud, which some would consider a distinct category in and of itself.\u003cbr\u003eThis is also a pure Seufi Oud - also a distinct category in and of itself. More on that shortly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHunters have long known that agarwood trees growing in mountainous areas yield the sweetest smelling wood, especially those from rocky cliffs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch of Nagaland is known for its gentle sweetness of flowers and wildflower honey present in the woods, and very lucky when those floral notes carry over in to the oil. It is already the well-known key feature of agarwood from this region, but extracting the oil can highlight those nuances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'll notice this oil has a some good years on it, too - which is why I'm adding it to the Ateek Series - a series of some very aged oils that I'll be releasing through 2022, and possibly in to 2023 if I don't get them all out before the end of the year. These are some real gems, and testaments to Time, History, and the Quality of Yesteryear. Distilled by veterans in the field often long gone from this earth. Be sure to search \"Ateek\" in the shop to discover some of these unique olfactory opportunities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI mentioned before that this is a pure Seufi Oud oil - and that Seufi oils are a class in and of themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeufi oils are produced exclusively from Agarwood found in the branches. Many don't realize it - but different parts of the tree, as well as different types of infections - all can have distinctive olfactory characteristics. Seufi oils are a mainstay in Gulf tastes - but as you can imagine, the quantity of oils being sold contrasted against the number of branches to be distilled ... you'll be lucky if a \"Seufi Oud\" on the mass market is 3-5% actual Seufi. Even that small percentage can impart a distinctive flavor to an oil that sets the mouths of lovers of Hindi Ouds to salivating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMokokchung Seufi, in contrast, is 100% Seufi. This is an unusual rarity generally found only direct from distillers or from exclusive VIP corners in select locations, and only in small quantities. Commercial companies usually blend oils like this in to big batches (rarely do you get single distillation oils from big companies). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this instance - we acquired this directly from the distiller who produced this oil back in 1999 - pure and uncut, and distilled exclusively from the top 1\/3 of branches from 100 + year old trees. 5 trees over a century old, to be exact. A real treat, to say the least.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo - knowing it's going to be a distinctive Seufi scent, I'm sure you're wondering - how's it smell, JK !?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs one client joked, \"Like the toasted nuts of those that would destroy me - or not send the oils I paid for\" haha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn all seriousness - the opening notes are that of savory toasted nuts. Maybe not of those that wish ill of me ... but seriously, toasted nuts. hehe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first time I smelled this oil it took me back to when I was a kid when my folks would take me to the Indiana State Fair (the madre is from Indiana - and her side of the family is still out there). Remember those cinnamon almonds and toasted cashews that would scent the air as you walked by the stands? That's the first memory that struck me upon smelling this oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oil transitions from Savory Toasted Nuts in to a Sensual Hay and Sweet Jaggery - that sweet, wood fired coconut sugar that if you've never had it, you need to. The Hay note in this is just gorgeous. It's not a fermented, farm'y hay note. Rather it's that sweet clover bails of hay that you smell in a barn - aging for winter. That sweetness from the Hay and that almost wood-fired coconut sugar note make me melt every time I open the bottle and swipe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs if the oil hasn't been enough of an adventure - the Dry Down begins to express hints of Dark Cocoa, and the Hay notes transition into a Leatheriness that highlights the Seufi Resin oh-so-beautifully.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe unique geographical mountainous region of Mokokchung, coupled with the exclusive top branches of centennial trees used to produce this exclusive Seufi oil yields an exquisite savory sweetness that highlights the pronounced aroma of the region. The oil has had 23 gorgeous years of aging at present, to boot - rounding out the oil in much the same way whiskies get sweeter and smoother with time. Oils like this are not found out on the market, and when they are on those rare instances - they hide in vaulted VIP exclusive access, often never seeing the light of day for the likes of you and me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a rare opportunity to add to your Ateek collection a superb example of a 100% aged Seufi oil, juiced exclusively from the top 1\/3 of branches from 5 centennial trees.

Hailing from the mountains near the Assam\/Nagaland border town of Dhansiri - this oil is DARK. Of special note are the hints of smoke, varnished wood floors, antique woods, maybe a touch of florals and berries - and a gorgeous Vapourous drydown. I acquired the oil awhile back directly from the distillation family, and the oil was distilled from a single tree that was around 200 years old in a traditional wood-fired setup in a copper pot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo this 46 year old Ateek Hindi, I paired it with what is probably the most unique Rose Oil I've ever smelled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1960's Rose Ateek\u003cbr\u003eThe exact origin of this oil is unknown, but I suspect it is from Eastern Europe. It does not smell Turkish, nor does it smell Saudi. It has me leaning towards Azerbaijan or Moldova ... but the thick, syrupy scent of mature age has me not quite able to place where it's from, and the gentleman I got it from said there was only an age but not a location that he could provide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterestingly, this oil has a bit of a pedigree - as I was able to acquire this by way of the grandson of the man who taught the Ajmal family how to compound fragrances. This comes from the vaults of his late grandfather. I don't have much of it, and wanted to make the best and most unique use so as many can experience it as possible. Considering it is quite Vapourous on it's own, with a deep rose jam heart and citrusy nuances. I figured, what better way to honor this legendary Rose with roughly 6 Decades of maturing than in a truly glorious and unique Oud Rose oil?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOud Oils in general connect with the Kidneys and Stomach. \u003cbr\u003eRose - connects deeply with the Heart ... hence the name of this oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite being such old oils - the Vapourous quality of them has Ateek Oud Rose feeling quite lively, and the vapourousness of them has them feeling a bit bottomless.

This is not simply true. What IS true is that Time can smooth some rough edges - but simply put - shit oils that are aged are simply old shitty oils. If you want a fine aged oil, it's gotta start out as a fine new oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI used to live in Avignon, capital of the French Cote du Rhone wine country. Known for their tannic wines that often needed aging to smooth the rough edges. I used to study wine - and I was fascinated how vinters could spot a wine that needed to be sold quickly - and one that needed to be set aside, knowing that additional age would magically cause the wine to blossom in a way that only Time could do. It is an art that few can master, but when they do - it's a fireworks display that drops jaws.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike aged fine whiskey or wine or tea - aging an oil can add layers of complexity and character in a way that no other process can duplicate. Generally speaking, a little aging can smooth out some rough edges on an oil - but you can't fix ugly. On the other hand - distillers - myself, included - will sometimes set aside great batches for further aging, knowing full well that a great oil now will yield an exceptional oil down the line. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhich brings us to my Ateek Series - a collection of oils that I have collected, directly from collectors or from the distillers, themselves - that have shelved oils in the pursuit of showcasing what age can do to beautify an already excellent specimen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the greatest ironies of traditional Hindi distillations is that many non-Arabs (Hindi distillations tend to be destined for the Gulf Market, after all) find traditional oils and fermentation to smell like farmland\/manure\/fermentation. This will generally yield an oil that smells of some level of cheese - all the way from Bries and Camemberts to the far end of the spectrum of Blue Cheeses. I do not classify rot the same as fermentation - the same way that cheese is not the same as rotten or spoiled milk. Now the irony to this is - many Arabs and Subcontinentals will say that traditional\/fermented oils smell SWEET. I think this categorization differs from how, say Western or Asian noses perceive fermentation - as I detail above. However, Jiribam Ateek 2000 I would say is categorically a genuinely Sweet, Ambery Oud oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI see this happen over and over again when I have visitors to my workshop - and it's even more pronounced in mixed company. A white or Asian visitor will say, \"I smell animals!\" whereas an Indian, Pakistani, or Arab visitor will exclaim, \"It's so sweet!\" Just goes to show that aromatic context matters, and that there is no accounting for tastes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJiribam Ateek 2000 I think everyone will agree - is a sweet oil. Yes, there is some barn and hay and leather, but the overall personality I find in this oil is AMBER. It's a pleasantly sweet, Ambery vintage Oud that's easy to wear and brings a smile to my face every time I apply some. And the Dry Down ... soooo sweet! I feel a little bit like I am eating one of those Indian Sweet\/Sour candies ... tart fermentation paired with the natural sweetness of Amber.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn top of that delightful Sweetness is the beloved character of Manipuri \"King of Indian Oud\". Manipur has a flavor profile that many in the game recognize as the most sought after flavor profile, that of the wild and lush forests of Manipur.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd to that pleasant sweetness and Kingly geo profile what only 23 years of aging can add, and you've got Jiribam Ateek 2000.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've had quite a few Jiribam oils and woods in the shop at this point, and I think it's safe to say that they have all been well received.

This sanctuary covers an area of about 120 odd square kilometers. The Ngengpui Wildlife Sanctuary covers a dense virgin forest and is home to many wildlife animals, such as tigers, langurs, elephants, common clouded leopard, gaur, barking deer, sambar, rhesus macaque, wild boar, leaf monkey, hoolock gibbon, and many more. Here you will also find a variety of birds including the national bird of India, the peacock pheasant, as well as imperial pigeons, and hornbills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is situated at an elevation ranging from 200 meters to about 1200 meters above sea level with virgin sub - tropical evergreen vegetation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated at 296 kilometers away from Aizawl in the southern part of Mizoram, the wildlife sanctuary is also close to Indo ā€“ Myanmar and Indo ā€“ Bangladesh borders, having rich biodiversity. As such, you may even find hints of Bangladeshi and Burmese nuances in the oil.Ā \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet me start by saying - there's not a whole lot of information to be found out there on Mizoram Agarwoods, as the old stock trees were largely harvested centuries ago to satiate the markets and Sultans of the Middle East. Finding historical relics like this is a genuine treat !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs one would hope, this oil smells ... ATEEK. It reeks of ancient awesomeness. Timeless old trees in primeval forests. Scents from another Time. Whispers of history long past. Yet it's surprisingly vibrant and lively, I presume because this was the first 3 days of distillation that was collected and reserved. Those first few days usually contain the most lively and zesty sesquiterpenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong before Cambodia became famous for Agarwood - or Laos or Malinau or Sri Lanka, for that matter - even before magjestic Manipur - Mizoram reigned as Sultan. The most beloved and sought-after woods in the Gulf market of of the 18th and 19th centuries came from Mizoram. Imagine having the chance to smell an oil from the tail end of the heydey of Mizo production, and from an ancient forest, at that !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scent on this is just gorgeous, and if youā€™ve been following my work, you know that these old traditionally-produced oils would have likely been made from the best grades of wood and fermented for some various time. Much like whiskey, the bite found in young productions fades and develops in to something that only Father Time can meld. You can smell the Age and Character in this oil in a manner unheard of in youthful juice, making these old Ateek oils worth more than their weights in gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHidden within the ancient depths of it's orange-golden hue, you may find hints of Varnish, Golden Pipe Tobacco, Horse Saddles and gently Tanned Leather, and whispers of Oud Smoke. There's also an almost milky yogurtiness to it, which to my nose almost smells edible. I mentioned Vanish, and if you know anything about my personal tastes, I absolutely ADORE oils with that Varnish note. Like freshly laquered wood floors ...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wouldn't call this oil citrusy, but I detect hints of what almost smells like what we'd call Qing Pi in Chinese medicine - Aged Bitter Orange - floating atop the merest hint of smoke. Ā It also reminds me a bit of a nice steep of Assam Tea, devoid of any sugar or sweetness, on a cold Winter's day. Brisk !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt goes without saying that these old traditional Hindis smell quite different in different weather. On a cool and dry day, it may smell more Tea-like. On a hot and humid day (and I loooove wearing Hindis in the heat and humidity) - it takes on an entirely different character that showcases more Leather and Tobacco. I mention meerly to remind you, to experiment wearing them in different seasons. You'll definitely experience some shifts in personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI usually don't gender any of my oils or Ouds, but I'd say this particular oil leans more masculine. It's brauny and shirtless and hairy-chested, and I fricken love it. If you love Testosterone, you'll love 1936 Ngengpui Ateek.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese kinds of ancient scents are hard to be replicated. Time and phenomenal raw materials are the only way to produce this kind of textural scent. If youā€™ve ever tried 50+ year old Scotch - youā€™ll have an inkling what Iā€™m talking about. Now imagine an additional 33 years of maturing and you've got an idea of just how delectable this oil is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1936 Ngengpui Ateek is an oil for the archives - a centerpiece on your trophy shelf. I imagine for those of you that like to commemorate special occasions with special scents, you'll want to swipe Ngengpui Ateek.

If you're one of those kinds of people ... this is next level Patchouli - an Ateek experience like no other !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aroma is very different from the Patchouli's everyone knows and loves, which tend to be more woody and damp and humid smelling. This vintage solo batch is incredibly unique - easily mistaken for a vintage Oud oil at first whiff. Maybe even the first few whiffs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe viscosity of this oil is insane. It's thick, like pomagranate molasses on a cold day kinda thick. Age has condensed this oil down to an almost vintage Modena Balsamica goodness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the complexity !! This oil is iron-distilled, which is quite hard to find these days, as the industry tends to prefer the lighter oils produced in a stainless steel setup. When I first opened the bottle, the aroma that met my nose was almost as if I had opened a superb bottle of vintage Scotch. The first whiff isn't Peaty, but it's definitely a gentle, Phenolic smokiness. Wafts of delicious smoke flitting through the jungle leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't be afraid of it being a little smokey, as it is in the most delightful way, like those first moments a chip hits the heater. The consistency is tar-like, Oudy in its complexity - and yet, almost tea-like in its delicate aromatic caress on my nostrils, in the way that some of my favorite Ouds are tea-like. It's not punchy, like you'll see from fermentation - but it'll definitely throw you a hook and an uppercut right to the schnozz, piercing your brain like a Syrup of the Ancients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Oud-like complexity lasts throughout - and it's a few hours into the wear before the oil begins to smell more like what we would expect from a superb Patchouli specimen. The first time I wore it, it was quite some time before it morphed in to something that I could peg as Patchouli. There's a lush, forest'y green'ness to it, almost like a Patchouli Absolute, but way more complex and interesting. I imagine between the age and the density of this oil, the Patchoulol content is through the roof !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've had many tell me this is hands down THE most unique Patchouli they've ever smelled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is isn't just premium stuff. It's Royal. Rich, deep, Oudy and oh-so-good !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-----\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe materials that I get are not often found among more commonly accessible aromatherapy suppliers. The quality is in the top 1-3% that is reserved for perfumery use - and the production is often from small artisan operations rather than huge commercial commodity producers. This is a rare treat, from a small batch of aged oil reserved by a small artisan producer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chinese Medicine, Patchouli is known as Huo Xiang, Enters the Spleen and Stomach, Transforms Damp, Expels Summer Heat and Wind \/ Cold. It is ideal for Damp Environments prone to mold and mildew. Smells damn good, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for compounding your own perfume or aromatherapy blends - and incredible in an aroma diffuser.

Fine nuances that are astonishing to have survived, as if in cryogenic stasis for three quarters of a century. These Ozonic Notes, alone, make me wonder if the wood was a coastal harvest, as I normally find these notes in oils distilled from trees breathing deeply within mere kilometers of the ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand ... there's an oil I had many years ago from the Phnum Samkoh Forest Preserve, which is a protected forest area within Pursat. It's the forest that borders right up against Trat, in Thailand - and of which they share terroire DNA. This old Thai relic reminds me a bit of how that old oil of mine smelled. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the trees used to produce this Thai oil actually originated on the Cambodi side of the border. But, considering political borders aren't terroir borders - it's also possible this is purely Thai, and Coastal, at that. Whatever the case, you're in for a rare treat, putting your nose on an odor profile most of us have ever read about, yet never experienced first-hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis oil is THICK. So thick I don't think I can get this into a sample vial - and I fear orders during the colder months, as I'm sure the viscosity will be a lotta fun. haha With that said - you'll only need a little dot of this, and the oil is easily over-applied due to its thickness. Fair warning !\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the glorious floral tonality of Hyacinths and Coastal Tranquility - Dark Red Currants, Raspberries, and lighter Stone Fruits like Apricots and Peaches - with hints of Darker fruits casting a shadow in the background. If you like the fruit of really clean Cambodi oils - the opening on this will knock your socks off and set your mouth to salivating. I feel like I need to smear this oil on some nice thickly buttered sourdough toast !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut there's something about it that's also reminiscent of Malaysian subspecies - a Floralness and Mint that hints of peninsular woods often mistaken for Vietnamese origins. There's also a hint of purple'ish Beccariana and Black Currants, coupled with those cooling Oceanic notes that again, make me wonder if the origin of the wood isn't more coastal, like Koh Chang or Koh Kood - or maybe the coastal thread of mainland across from those Islands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn my skin, the floral and fruit notes twist and turn for several hours, turning the corner many times and keeping my blissful attention. And despite my initial impression of coastal breezes and flowers, the journey also transports the wearer to the heart of Pursat, before winding it's way back over to Thailand. Those Red and Black Currants and tart Raspberry remind me more of the inviting notes from that region. The oil then transitions from luscious, juicy fruits to more of a resinous incense profile with Thai DNA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bottom Mid and Base Notes tug more in the direction of excellent old Thai oils. Less fruit, and more of an Incense Core with delicate white floral tonalities. For those that are familiar with my work, you know I break Incense Distillations into 2 categories - and that I'm a h-yuge fan of Incense Distillations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Two Incense Types, according to JK :\u003cbr\u003e-Incense Resin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Incense Smoke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a smokey oil, but rather more of a Resinous type.

It's almost like combining a gourmand with a meditatively blissful sutra. Very easy to wear, and crazy to think how hard it is to find oils like this these days. It's simply superb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThai Thaqueel Ateek is one for the Library, and an Ateek at a price point that I think is within the realm of more regular use, especially with how little is needed to enjoy it.

It's an unforgettably unique scent, and I think you'll understand what I mean once you smell it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo my nose, it smells like a combination of Chocolate Grenache and Durian. If you've never smelled or tasted Durian before ... Durian is famously polarizing: its smell is often described as intensely foul (like rotting onions, sewage, or gym socks), but its taste is rich, creamy, and sweet, with complex notes of custard, caramel, banana, and nuts that many find delicious once past the aroma. Bear with me ...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe caveat here - and don't run for the hills just yet - is that this oil smells more like Durian tastes than it smells - and the scent is more akin to the sweet sweat of Horses than it is to onions or gym socks. I had some young teen ladies in the clinic recently smell this oil, and they picked up the Chocolate note, and said the other fruity note reminded them more of riding horses - so I think I'm on the right trek here in terms of the profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo many Westerners, Durian resembles a mix of :\u003cbr\u003eā€¢ Ā  Ā Rotten onions or garlic\u003cbr\u003eā€¢ Ā  Ā Sewage, garbage, or dead animals\u003cbr\u003eā€¢ Ā  Ā Turpentine, gasoline, or gym socks\u003cbr\u003eā€¢ Ā  Ā Overripe cheese or vomit\u003cbr\u003eBut people who grow up with durian often describe it as sweet, musky, and complex, with notes of tropical fruit, honey, and roasted nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--\u0026gt;It's the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003esweet, musky, and complex, with notes of tropical fruit, honey, and roasted nuts that I'd say this oil reminds me of.Ā \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've never tried Durian before - I probably just scared you. But it's really worth trying if you ever get a chance. To the people that love it, it's a really delicious custard, fruit and honey and nuts flavor that is eaten as a raw fruit, is made into ice cream and hard candies and all kinds of things in the Far East. It's a delicacy and a bit of an aquired taste ... but then again - so is Oud. haha Just trust me on this one. It's delightfully unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to that custard'y Durian flavor is the Chocolate Grenache. There's a rich, thick, syrupy Chocolate note on the front end of this oil that I find really mouthwatering. And that flavor of the Custard plus the richness of the Grenache that makes this profile so distinctive. That's really what I get from this oil - Durian Custard + Chocolate Grenache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oil is also Tobacco'y and Toffee'd - so if you like those Gourmand notes and Tobacco profiles (a very frequently requested kinda profile) - I think you'll be quite pleased with Taman Negara.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e15 years officially in business and I've only come across this note once or twice, and this is the finest example I've ever seen of it.

The first whiff isn't Peaty, but it's definitely a gentle, Phenolic smokiness. Wafts of delicious smoke flitting through the jungle leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't be afraid of it being a little smokey, as it is in the most delightful way, like those first moments a chip hits the heater. The consistency is tar-like, Oudy in its complexity - and yet, almost tea-like in its delicate aromatic caress on my nostrils, in the way that some of my favorite Ouds are tea-like. It's not punchy, like you'll see from fermentation - but it'll definitely throw you a hook and an uppercut right to the schnozz, piercing your brain like a Syrup of the Ancients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oud-like complexity lasts throughout - and it's a few hours into the wear before the oil begins to smell more like what we would expect from a superb Patchouli specimen. Ā The first time I wore it, it was quite some time before it morphed in to something that I could peg as Patchouli. There's a lush, forest'y green'ness to it, almost like a Patchouli Absolute, but way more complex and interesting. I imagine between the age and the density of this oil, the Patchoulol content is through the roof !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM MY 1979 PATCHOULI ATEEK and from my PATCHOULI DAHREE ???\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatchouli Qadeem has comparable lovely attributes of my Patchouli Ateek and my Patchouli Dahree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eā€”\u0026gt;There is this uniquely FRUITY HEART that this batch of Patchouli has.

The Qadeem and Dahree both have a lovely fruitiness that make them very unique, and their fruitiness is similar, yet distinctive from one another.

What we might call in English, Eternal.Ā \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI thought this was a fitting term for this incredible batch of vintage Patchouli, as it is quite unique, pitch black, thick and juicy - even FRUITY and VAPOROUS. ITS WILD !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT PATCHOULI DAHREE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI get a lot of inquiries from Patchouli lovers and Oud Heads looking for really unique batches, and ultimate Patch experiences. If you're one of those kinds of people ... this is next level Patchouli - an Ateek experience like no other !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma is very different from the Patchouli's everyone knows and loves, which tend to be more woody and damp and humid smelling. This vintage solo batch is incredibly unique - easily mistaken for a vintage Oud oil at first whiff. Maybe even the first few whiffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe viscosity of this oil is insane. It's THICK, syrupy, and unlike new, or even other aged batches of Patchoulis I have. Itā€™s also pitch black in color. Quite unique in this regard.Ā \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the complexity !! This oil is iron-distilled, which is quite hard to find these days, as the industry tends to prefer the lighter oils produced in a stainless steel setup. When I first opened the bottle, the aroma that met my nose was almost as if I had opened a superb Ā bottle of vintage Scotch. The first whiff isn't Peaty, but it's definitely a gentle, Phenolic smokiness. Wafts of delicious smoke flitting through the jungle leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't be afraid of it being a little smokey, as it is in the most delightful way, like those first moments a chip hits the heater. The consistency is tar-like, Oudy in its complexity - and yet, almost tea-like in its delicate aromatic caress on my nostrils, in the way that some of my favorite Ouds are tea-like. It's not punchy, like you'll see from fermentation - but it'll definitely throw you a hook and an uppercut right to the schnozz, piercing your brain like a Syrup of the Ancients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oud-like complexity lasts throughout - and it's a few hours into the wear before the oil begins to smell more like what we would expect from a superb Patchouli specimen. Ā The first time I wore it, it was quite some time before it morphed in to something that I could peg as Patchouli. There's a lush, forest'y green'ness to it, almost like a Patchouli Absolute, but way more complex and interesting. I imagine between the age and the density of this oil, the Patchoulol content is through the roof !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM MY 1979 PATCHOULI ATEEK and from my PATCHOULI QADEEM ???\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatchouli Dahree has all the lovely attributes of my Patchouli Ateek and my Patchouli Qadeem + some interesting additional nuances that make it really unique.Ā \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eā€”\u0026gt;There is this uniquely FRUITY HEART that this batch of Patchouli has. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve previously smelled a Patchouli that has a fruit note like this. The Qadeem and Dahree both have a lovely fruitiness that make them very unique. Itā€™s like a fruit compote wrapped in a shell of dense forest floor, green jungly goodness, and a glass of scotch. A kaleidoscope of Jungle and Berries.Ā \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e==\u0026gt;To top it off is this VARNISH NOTE. Those familiar with my own personal tastes, know that my all-time favorite note in Oud oils is the elusive Varnish Note. People describe that particular note in different ways, but to me, it is like a freshly polished or waxed wood floor. Terpenic and piercing. Ā Itā€™s an incredibly difficult note to find in an oil, but when it hits, it slaps so hard it makes my grandmama laugh. šŸ˜†Ā \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI've had many tell me this is hands down THE most unique Patchouli they've ever smelled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is isn't just premium stuff. It's Royal. Rich, deep, Oudy and oh-so-good !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-----\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe materials that I get are not often found among more commonly accessible aromatherapy suppliers. The quality is in the top 1-3% that is reserved for perfumery use - and the production is often from small artisan operations rather than huge commercial commodity producers. This is a rare treat, from a small batch of aged oil reserved by a small artisan producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Chinese Medicine, Patchouli is known as Huo Xiang, Enters the Spleen and Stomach, Transforms Damp, Expels Summer Heat and Wind \/ Cold.
