Needless to say - it was met with a bit of disbelief...until they smelled it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe making of Blue Kyara was made possible by several colleagues chipping in the raw material in exchange for some of its yield. I had put together about 1\/3 of the raw material, to which they contributed the other 2\/3 of raw material. Their payment for their considerate participation was a portion of the yield. The remainder of the oil, I did two things with ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlue Kyara was actually the \"artistic sibling\" - I had taken that pure Kynam oil that and split in 2. The 100% pure oil was sold privately to 3 clients. Never made it in to the shop, unfortunately - for which I was given an incredible amount of grief (apologies again !) The other half of the distillation was 99.5% Kyara and 0.5% 2005 Distilled Indian Blue Lotus, which I named Blue Kyara. BK shook the foundations of Artisanal Oud.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI felt really bad about not having had any pure Kynam oil for folks, and I wanted to find a way to make it up to everyone ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2021 was the 10 Year Anniversary of the founding of Rising Phoenix - and if Blue Kyara was the highlight of the first 10 years of being in business - I wanted to raise the ante in a way only Rising Phoenix could. The planning, of which, went back to 2019 and the success of Blue Kyara.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2019 BK was a mix of wild Vietnamese and Hainanese. I wanted a puuuure Hainanese Kyara Oud Oil, and not just ANY Hainan ... but the elusive and most highly valued White Hainan Kynam. And this time ... I wanted no artistic sibling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI understand that BK was expensive - and despite the cost, I was able to keep that cost down because nearly 70% of the raw material was \"donated\". In other words, the cost was subsidized and done in a way that really helped me keep the cost down. I just want to mention that to prepare you, because none of the production of this oil was subsidized ... AND - it was produced using THE single most expensive type of Kyara - Wild Hainanese White Kynam. The Connoisseurs Kynam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, I'm sure you're asking at this point, \"JK, did you reaaaaaally extract a WILD White Kynam oil??\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd I understand the question and skepticism, given the storming of the scene recently with \"plantation Kynam\", which I really feel is like \"Agarwood +\" - as it makes for a nice Agarwood, but in my opinion - doesn't quite hold a candle to the old wild Kynam stock. And to prove this reality in the only way I know how ... I also produced a Plantation Kynam oil, which I named \"White Tiger\" - to which you will receive an equal amount of when you place your order for Bai Kynam, so you can compare and contrast the scents side by side. There is NO DOUBT that what Bai Kynam was made from is wild, and you will know the truth of this with a single whiff of both bottles. There is simply no comparison !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis groundbreaking offer of not one, but TWO revolutionary oils is how I wanted to start out the first year of my second decade in business. This is the Way.

Keeping in mind, this oil isn't \"Kynamic\". Thats a term way too often overused, usually applied to minty notes, or any oil with hints of bitterness. It's an overplayed term.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis oil isn't Kynamic. This oil IS Kynam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhite Kynam is known for being \"Cooling and Floral\" - and the mintiness of this oil is oozing floral notes. To my nose it smells almost like Osmanthus. The Chinese expression you'll often hear is \"Chrysanthamum\" - but I perceive it to be more Osmanthus-like than Chrysanthamum-like. Mincing florals aside - the opening notes will split your brain in two. Hundred. Two Hundred. Million. Two Hundred Million little fragments. You'll see.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the oil progresses, you'll notice a persuasive pollen and bee pheromones note - like sexual honey wrapped around interstellar white florals. If you've ever smelled White Kynam - you'll understand what I'm referring to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dry Down is this unbelievably long, drawn out Kynam Resin note. Those bee pheromones and interstellar white florals weave in and out - while that resin note drags on and on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a rare oil that I would say you should exclusively wear on your chin, or a dot in the groove of the center of your upper lip. Why, you might ask?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrior to Bai Kynam - 2019 Blue Kyara was hypothesized to be the most expensive liquid ever produced. This oil is expensive. 2021 Bai Kynam is likely THE most expensive oil ever produced on the planet kind of expensive - and you don't want one whiff of it to escape from piercing your brain like a bolt of lightening. Trust me on this one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemember - your purchase of 2021 Bai Qinam will ALSO include an equal amount of 2021 White Tiger - produced from what is known as \"Golden Silk Kynam\".

Chinese Medicine is interesting in that the Medicine influenced China's Socio - Philosophical\/Spiritual practices, and vice versa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the olden days, Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism were not religious practices as you and I know religion. They were more philosophical world views - less concerned with religious concepts of \"God\" and more about Spiritual and Natural Truths (very similar to what you and I would call Science).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is for this reason that, when I chanced across the original unusual turn-of-the-century Hainanese oil - that I wanted to pay homage to China's Buddhist roots in the naming of the oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn both Hindu and Buddhist cultures, the Sanskrit word, Bija, means \"Seed\" - and it is used as a metaphor for the Origin of All things (what Daoism would refer to as the Tao or Dao).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an important medical\/philosophical term within Chinese Medicine, as well, for it is from the Bija\/Dao that come Yin and Yang, further differentiating into the Five Elements, and from the Five Elements that \"The 10,000 things manifest\" - i.e. - all of Creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chinese Medicine - this same imagery is also used in describing Conception - and the differentiation of a single point of origin (the single cell we all start as) into a living being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe see the same concept in Western understanding in what we call the Big Bang. All things originated from a Single Point of Origin (the Seed, so to speak) - from which stars and all matter and all of Creation coalesced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo Bija is an important concept, and one I wanted to share with you. Especially since China has been harvesting and exporting Agarwood centuries before other regions you and I know to be centers of modern day trade. Chinese Agarwood is, in a very literal sense - the Bija of the Agarwood Trade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBACKSTORY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHainan \"ran dry\" of it's wild woods nearly a decade ago, and so finding old-stock wild woods and oils come exclusively from old traders and connoisseur collectors, and the occasional Hainanese resident who's been holding onto some wood for a rainy day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe occasionally offer some Hainan Senkoh (Japanese-style incense sticks), buying wood from an old, small incense maker to make high grade wild sticks for us. The kind of stuff no one is making any longer. Small batch, premium stuff. I may have a new batch of this rare wild Hainan incense coming soon ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the original 1999 Bija came from this Chinese incense maker I work with - I reached out to see if he had any other batches of wood that would be suitable to make a new batch of oil of the same caliber as the original. We were in luck ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**I've attached a photo of the quality of wood this oil was made from...as you can see - it's a wowzer!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis oil is thick.

Makes it a beast to transfer to the vials, but I digress ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor those who don't like those funky barn scents from more traditionally distilled oils - you're in luck.
