I find terroir notes in Jiribam that share some commonalities to all of these regions, which also makes it a bit unique and distinctive from each of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis oil was distilled back in 2006, so it's got some good age on it - which also makes it a bit of a rare oil. We found and acquired this particular oil while meeting with one of our wood contacts from the region. It's deep, rich, and as is increasingly the rarer case - genuinely wild. It also has a distinctive and unique scent ... more on that in a moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA NOTE OF OBSERVATION BETWEEN NEW GEN AND TRADITIONALLY DISTILLED OILS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA lot of Western and Far Eastern clients these days are looking for oils that are active mind buzzers - usually a class of oils that are termed \"New Gen\", as it is more of a modern distillation style for Ouds. These types of distillations have clean soaks, and are often devoid of any fermentation, with lower yields and smelling very \"clean\". \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, in contrast to the Upward Moving\/Mind Buzz of New Gens - Traditional Distillations tend to be very Grounding and Calming. Traditional distillations will have a more Downward Action\/Movement - helping to \"Anchor, Settle, and Calm\" one's mood (I put in quotes as Anchor, Settle, and Calm is an actual class of Medicinals in Chinese Medicine, of which I am a licensed practitioner here in the US).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSO - if you happen to need a little Grounding or are \"too often stuck in your head\" - I might suggest checking more traditionally-distilled Oud oils, of which I have been working to expand the selection of here at Rising Phoenix. These old-world distillations are potent, rich - and most importantly - very Grounding and Calming to one's mood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs I had previously mentioned, Jiribam is located in a unique geographical location, lending Terroir Notes found in Southern Assamese, Bangladeshi Sylheti, and other Manipuri Oils. And even though there is some terroir crossover - this also lends to some distinctiveness. Add to that, also - this particular oil was distilled exclusively from Guf - a particular formation formed from damage on the surface of the trees. Guf is beloved for it's rich - and often very resinous - formations, and Guf Oils are not something I see frequently in the market. Terms like Seufi are better recognized - however it's quite rare to find pure Seufi distillations (of which I offer several pure Seufi's here in the shop). I am increasingly known for my growing collection of unique and unusual specimens - and Jiribam Guf 2006 is not exception.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've been very fortunate to offer several Guf distillations here in the shop now, and everyone seems to be warmly embracing them for their distinctive scents. I also have several Char distillations - something worth browsing in the shop for, as they are as equally distinctive as Guf oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs this is a traditionally distilled oil - expect some very smooth and light fermentation in the form of some Hay Notes. On JK's Fermentation Scale, I'd place Jiribam 2006 as a Brie. Light, smooth, buttery fermentation. Not something to be afraid of, by any means. And the scent! OMG the scent !! This oil has become quite a popular pick.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis oil is soooo much more than Hay. It's dark and complex in all the right ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've recently loaded in Sujanagar 2016 - which has a lovely Milk Chocolaty\/Cocoa-ness to it. It smells like fond family memories and warm hugs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJiribam Guf 2006, on the other hand, is Bitter Cocoa and Musk, with some Black Tea Notes and Berries and Hints of Spice. If Sujanagar is Chocolate Mousse - Jiribam Guf is Molten Flourless Chocolate Cake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bitter Cocoa is interesting. It reminds me of the dark Ghanese Chocolates the Japanese are so fond of. Not sweet, but with a rounded Bitterness that is much easier on the palate than \"Bitter Dark Chocolate\" we find here in the US. I find the chocolate note here to be very dense - almost like a lightly sweetened flourless chocolate cake. Rich and mouthwatering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTea notes are some of my faves in Oud Oils, and I find some whispers of lightly smoked black breakfast teas - malty and rich, with stone fruits and hints of dark berries and tea-nuances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost interestingly - my better half is Japanese, and Asian Noses tend to be really sensitive to any level of fermentation. I mention this because ... she's usually not too fond of when I wear *Traditional* Hindi's - but when I wear Jiribam Guf - she always perks up and asks, \"IS THAT MOOSK (Musk) !??!\" I can't help but crack up - especially as she asks in a very positively inquisitive tone. For whatever reason, she loves how this oil smells on me, as the bitter cocoa'y muskiness she finds very appealing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe photo I chose for Jiribam Guf reminded me of the yellow skins of Cocoa Pods 🥰 and I'd say it very much encapsulates the character of this oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI'll also mention Jiribam Guf pairs wonderfully with Narcotic\/White Florals, Spice Notes, and Sweet Resins. Some Rose in here would be 💪🏼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePriced very friendly, especially for a wild oil with nearly 2 decades of aging on it - this makes for a perfect Daily Wear - and doubles as an excellent pick for special occasions.

Especially with years of age on them, in much the same way that wines will mellow with age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the character strengths of traditional oils cooked meticulously over wood fires is that there is a variable temp from the wood (as opposed to steady, consistent heat from gas).

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTanjung 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTanjung 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeographically, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoastal 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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 😉\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePersonally, 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 :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. Smokey Incense - more akin to heating a chip on charcoal\u003cbr\u003e2. 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTanjung Selor 2021 is distilled in the latter style - and you'll be quite pleased with the sheer depth of the scent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew Gen\/Non-soaking style means no fermentation notes and a clear, clean odor profile devoid of any barnyard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSubtle 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLasting an incredible 12-16 hours or more on skin, and lasting days on the label of my jacket.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first release of several new oils that are in the works with a new distillation partner.

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. Quantity is limited - I imagine this will sell quickly like my previous Terengganu Ant distillation.

I wanted an ass kicker produced from the actual high grade chips that we cleaned up, and as a deep lover of the floral notes from Haflong woods - I selected the Haflong chips, black with resin, to juice New Gen-style in a small copper set up. No soak, no funk - all squeeky clean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat I didn't expect was an Indian Agallocha, ripe with gorgeous floral notes - to also have a thick, kynamic nuance to it. Now you've heard me say - I really detest using that term, Kynamic\/Kynam - as I feel it has been hijacked and is used everywhere nowadays. But I have to say ... this new pristine Haflong oil really does smell ... like raw Kynam. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so I make use of the Chinese term, Qinam, to pay homage to this marvelous scent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaflong Qinam is a thick oil. Not quite thaqueel thick ... but it's dense. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scent is also dense. Ripe floral notes. Thick tea and honey. Hints of toasted nuts. Rich wood and resin - with a drydown that, on my skin, rivals any strong musky note I've smelled in just about anything else. I find myself reluctant to sell any of this oil, as well 😆\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI had a Taiwanese friend over here over the weekend. Asian noses tend to not be too fond of any detectable level of fermentation in an oil - but he's a rare exception to the rule. He LOVED After Burn. But Haflong Qinam ... I think was tugging on some heart strings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWearing After Burn on one wrist, and HQ on the other, he had his wife - a big lover of more clean New Gen oils - take a few deep inhales of his wrists. She was like warm on After Burn (no surprise there) - but man, her reaction to HQ! Needless to say, she was very quick to fall in love with Haflong Qinam. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo if you love those traditional florals and hays like me - go for After Burn. A personal fave of mine. You’ll love it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut if you yearn for those pristine, beautiful oils that make angels sing - take a swing at Haflong Qinam.

Part of this batch was sold in Kuwait more than a decade ago. The last of it, here, was kept by the owner to age. He kept a few Tolas for himself, and the remainder of it is here with me. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oil itself is a bit of an enigma.

It’s bizarre and unexpected and oh-so-much fun 🤯\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the oil was distilled locally in the Philippines - I’m positive this is a 100% Filipino origin oil and is not mixed with any Walla or Agallocha - which makes the enigmatic journey through India, Sri Lanka, and crossing the finish line in the Philippines all the more cool. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiven the age of the oil - and we all know how insane the woods coming out of the Philippines were these recent past few years - it’s safe to assume the quality of wood that went in to making this oil more than a decade ago was some pretty damn nice wood.

Woods and oils are especially beloved in the Arab\/Gulf Market - but there are some \"Asian Market\" flavors to be found in Laos, as well. Borikhamxay is one such example.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorikhamxay I had produced from some exquisite wild ant wood. Antwoods in general are known for their sweetness, and are especially beloved and appreciated in the Asian market. The Arab Market tends to go for the Malaccensis woods found in Laos, especially those closer to the Western and Northern borders in the country. Asians, on the other hand, go for the Crassna and Sinensis species, which are much more rare in the region - and that's what we've produced for you, here. Check the listing photos for some photos of the woods used to produce this oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOils like what we have here could easily be mistaken for a premium Central Vietnamese - and side by side, would be very challenging to differentiate.

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 😆\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the tastes of his clients were different back in the 70’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. Which is to say - Smooth, like very old Scotch. It’s obvious this is an old oil, and was made from ancient trees. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo put it simply … 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 that’ll hit the spot in a way that newer oils somehow don’t (yet 😆).

ATEEK. It reeks of ancient awesomeness. Timeless old trees in primeval forests. Scents from another Time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecondly - 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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 😉\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’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.

Most Burmese oils we see hail from Myitkyina, in North Eastern Myanmar. \u003cbr\u003eNgapali is over 1100km way - an entirely different region and scent - and a rarely seen one any longer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. The vast majority of Burmese oils we see these days are farmed, overly fermented, and generally are of low (albeit \"market standard\") quality. Prome is neither of these.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2021 Prome, on the other hand, was distilled from a single tree that was over 100 years old. It was distilled from resinous black broken chips and shavings from all the top incense grade material from this single tree. A rarity to purchase Burmese oils like this any longer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've had the opportunity to produce a few oils very traditionally, by Indian deg style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese old set ups are wood fired and controlled entirely \"by feel\". If we were in the kitchen, my wife would call this \"grandma style\" - no measurements or modern tech. Everything done by hand and relying on the senses. Deg distillations are often carefully control-heated by sensing the temperature inside the boiler by feeling radiant heat - and the boiler, itself, is heated by wood fire rather than by gas (or electric).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese kinds of distillations take a lot of skill to produce, and there is a certain character from them that can't be duplicated with more modern set ups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn thing I really like about these kinds of distillations is that there is often an opening note imparted by the wood fires used to produce them. You'll find the first few seconds of the Deg Series has a common similar note, a characteristic scent imparted by this technique - before diverging into their unique personalities. Personally, I love this scent, as I like a wisp of smokiness. Smells of cooking and wood fire are primeval scents, and tap into our DNA unlike anything else.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProme opens with a wisp of smoke and a hint of sour fruit, like an Indian chutney made from tamarind or plums, and mangos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's a toasted nutty quality to this oil that I've had emerge in one or two other oils from India that I've produced. In Prome, it reminds me more of a toasted Macadamia nut...quite a pleasant scent beside that sour fruit chutney note. Kinda making me hungry as I write this, haha.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs that toasty, nutty, chutney note develops, a swirl of white and indolic florals begins to ride the waves of scent into the nostrils. It's a nice contrast to the almost purpleness of the opening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurprisingly, Prome is quite Musky. I wouldn't call it straight up deer musky, though - its more of a vegetal muskiness reminiscent of the muskiness in my Musk Rose Attar. That quintessential Hindi Musk note, undergirding the white florals, purple fruits, and toasted nuts. On my skin, I find it gets muskier the further we go in to dry down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoving in to dry down, there are notes of plums and dried Hunza raisins ... notes often found in Cambodi and Burmese oils, and sometimes found in far eastern regions of India like Manipur and Nagaland. This is to say that there's an almost fruity Cambodi quality to this oil, like sticky raisin resin in the dry down that will leave you wondering if you landed in the eastern stretches of India, the northern reaches of Burma, or MUCH further South East in Cambodia. Geographically amorphous oils like this I find rather fascinating, as they take us on a journey not just to one place ... but manage to take our noses and minds on journeys of a thousand leagues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, expect tamarind, plum, and mango chutney, sticky raisins, that slight sour, fermented fruit vibe that’s typical for some ‘subcontinental’ ouds but this is still ‘clean’ oil. Milky tea like nuances ; a touch of spices. Vegetal Musk. Purple Fruits and White Florals. Sticky Oud Resin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProme is a fun ride through Indian, Burma, and Cambodia ... one I'm hoping you'll join me on!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Prome Oud Oil,Pure Oud Oil,Burmese Oud Oil","brand":"Rising Phoenix Perfumery","offers":[{"title":"0.3g · Sample Vial","offer_id":44154962411745,"sku":"","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1g · Glass Dipstick Bottle","offer_id":44154962444513,"sku":"","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3g · Full Quarter Tola (Glass Dipstick)","offer_id":44154962477281,"sku":"","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8955\/0305\/products\/il_fullxfull.3186885800_mn35_703a231f-c17b-4c27-bae9-76a17c835217.jpg?v=1698077045"},{"product_id":"dhansiri-ateek-1987-nagaland-hindi-oud-oil-traditional-wood-fired-indian-dehn-al-oudh-pure-artisan-oud-oil-rising-phoenix-perfumery","title":"Dhansiri Ateek 1987 : Vaporous, Varnish and Whiskey Nagaland Oud Oil","description":"Class : Wild : 200+ Year Old Tree - Ateek Series\u003cbr\u003eSpecies : Agallocha, Single Live Tree \u003cbr\u003eDistillation : Traditional Wood-Fired Deg and Bapkha, Copper - Minimally Fermented\u003cbr\u003eDistillation Date : 1987 - First 12 Hours\u003cbr\u003eDistillation Type : Vapourous\/Resinous\/Varnish\/Whiskey\/Floral\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Be sure to read the full description. 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.

This area was picked clean of wild woods awhile ago, and so this is a \"lost flavor\", so to speak. It was a mixed back of Microcarpa and Beccariana, which will translate in oil form as : Purple Flowers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo it, I added a small batch of exceptional Keningau Microcarpa - adding more of a Floral punch, along with the beautiful Mintiness of Sabah, lending to even more ethereal top notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs I'm co-distilling some West Malaysian Mount Panti with some East Malaysian Sabah Keningau - I figured a fitting name to be EMW : East Meets West, and it's a beautiful marriage, indeed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI'm sure I'll get questions, so I'll address it now - neither batch was big enough to produce enough oil (I'd have probably gotten around 2 Tolas of each oil ... I prefer to aim for 3-5 Tolas on small premium batches like this) - so instead I decided to co-distill them together to get a single oil, of which I got 57g out of a mere 5.8kg of wood - 4kg of Panti, and 1.8kg of Keningau. So almost a full Tola of oil out of each kg!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo how's it smell?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of you were fortunate enough grab a bottle of my Purple Myara LTD - which was an exception 2012 batch of pure Malaysian Beccariana oil. It was exceptionally Purple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI mention Purple Myara - because if you like it - you're gonna LOVE EMW.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's also worth mentioning that I juiced EMW in the same equipment that my Filippino Leyte oil, Adobo - and also my Brunei oil, Playboy Sultan - were both juiced in. I mention this because this pot seems to have a signature Maraschino Cherry note that develops in the oils I'm producing in it. Maybe it's due to the very high grade woods I'm using in this small pot ... but West Malaysia, East Malaysia, Brunei - and the Philippines - every oil I've juiced in this pot seems to develop this note. So now I'm wondering if it's the woods ... or the pot? Something to ponder ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeccariana woods tend to develop oils with a Purple Note reminiscent of Concord Grapes and Kudzu Flower Jelly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKudzu Flower Jelly is likely something you've not tried - but it's a delicacy in both Japan, as well as here in the South Eastern US, where Kudzu was originally imported from Japan to control erosion ... but has runaway as a bit of a tree monster, devouring swaths of trees here in the South. Over the last century, the flowers have been cooked into a bit of a delicacy and made into a very unique and delicious jelly that is delightfully \"Purple Tasting\" - reminiscing of Concord Grapes and delicate flowers. You'll find EMW to be full to the brim of these notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMicrocarpas, on the other hand, yield delightfully floral oils. In Japan, woods selected from Peninsular Malaysia and both Malaysian and Indonesian Borneo tend to be sub-species like Beccariana and Microcarpa - as these delicate floral notes in the woods are beloved in their Market. Expect this delightfully floral quality to abound in EMW.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo - if you loved Adobo Leyte or Playboy Sultan - this oil was produced in the same pot and you'll find some sibling DNA from the pot in this oil. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you loved Purple Myara - you'll love that juicy Purpleness from the Beccariana DNA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you love Japanese Indo woods - that floral Microcarpa note - you'll find that DNA here, as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you love rare woods, like those from Panti Mountain in Johor - that rare DNA you will likely smell for the first time, here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlus that glorious Keningau Sabah DNA - rich in Minty Top Notes and Flowery bouquets ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll juiced together in our unique New Gen style that yields a cornucopia of Floral Spiciness wrapped up in a Concord and Kudzu Purple Blanket of Goodness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf that sounds enticing ...

We also picked up a few woods from the area, which at some point I'll work on getting up into the shop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast to the heavier hay notes often found in the Sylhet area - Sujanagar 2016 has a warm and inviting Milk Chocolate Note.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a traditional Deg and Bapkha distillation, so expect some very light, albeit very smooth barnyard opening notes (I'd say this borders between a Brie and a Camembert on the fermentation, leaning more towards the Brie). It's the kind of opening that most Subcontinentals tell me has no barnyard and rather, they'd say is sweet. But Western and Asian noses may argue with that characterization, which is the only reason I mention it. Regardless of how we define it - it's not something to be scared of. It's quite pleasant and easy to wear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI wouldn't say there are any smoke notes to this oil, but there is a nice suede'ish leatheriness that is very comforting. As the weather is cooling at the time of listing - it's pairing perfectly with the cooler weather, so if you happen to live in a part of the world with more mild temperatures, I have a feeling this will perform marvelously on your skin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat I found really interesting about this oil is that after an hour or so into the wear, it transitions into a creamy, yet not overly sweet Milk Chocolate and very mild and smooth Hay note that is both warm and inviting. It's an \"I can't get my nose off my hand\" kinda yumminess.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWearing it reminds me of my youth, and the simple pleasures of drinking warms cups of cocoa in the Fall and Winter and early Spring months. Strangely enough, Sujanagar 2016 feels homely, conjuring images of my siblings and I in the kitchen with our folks, and cooking with our mom. For me it's more than just a pleasant smell, but that of warmth and family and love, and the innocence of childhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith it's chocolately - cocoa undertones, the oil pairs wonderfully with Narcotic\/White Florals (Like Jasmine or Rose), as well as with spicier notes.

I have 3 oils I'm releasing as a Traditional Deg Series - and Ngapali is the crown jewel of the 3. But first ... \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen it comes to Burmese oils, there are 2 general things folks are used to ... and Ngapali is neither of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. Most Burmese oils we see hail from Myitkyina, in North Eastern Myanmar. \u003cbr\u003eNgapali is over 1200km way - an entirely different region and scent - and a rarely seen one, at that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. The vast majority of Burmese oils we see these days are farmed, overly fermented, and generally are of low (albeit \"market standard\") quality. Ngapali is neither of these.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2018 Ngapali, on the other hand, was distilled from a single tree that was nearing 200 years old. It was distilled from resinous black broken chips and shavings from all the top incense grade material from this single tree. And ... I have some of that wood here on hand that we juiced this marvel from that I've included in the photos. As we juiced the entire tree, I have some quantity of this oil and will offer some in Tola quantities, as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNgapali is known for it's beautiful beaches, and is a popular destination for Russian speaking tourists, great seafood, and gorgeous mountain hikes with incredible coastal vistas. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat does that have to do with the scent? Nothing. I just want to set the stage...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe opening reminds me a bit of high altitude hikes out in the Western US. Ethereal, maybe a little oceanic, and wisps of campfire smoke out in the far distance. It's like oceanic, salty air mingling among alpine forests. It's very pleasant ... and is a nice warm up to the bliss that soon follows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scent of altitude and open spaces gives way to a really solid Burmese resin note that lasts for hours and hours. You know that base'y resin note that you get in many top quality oils? Well - imagine that in the Heart of an oil that stretches on for quite some time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe surprising twist here is that the oil, on my first wear, seemed to jump from the Top Notes to the Base, with that long resinous Oudy note. To my surprise ... that's not where the fun ends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo the first time you wear this, I won't be surprised to hear that it seemed to jump from the opening to the ending, especially if you don't ride out the entire journey before remarking on it's performance. That resin note that often ties up the nicest base'y oils is only a halfway point on this adventure. \"All good things come to those that wait\", right?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter several hours of very enjoyable Oud resin - the oil starts to transition into a sweet berry and floral medly. It's a surprising transition because these notes usually pop up BEFORE the resinous dry down ... not in the Third Act.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's a cornucopia of tropical fruit and floral notes that I get from my skin, made all the more interesting because the First and Second Acts are not sweet, nor fruity\/floral. The initial transitions aren't Bitter, nor are they Tart ... but they certainly aren't Sweet. Maybe a little austere. But this final Act that lasts for several hours twists and turns through Floral and Tropical Fruits with a sweetness that wasn't there in the initial hours of wear. It's pleasantly surprising, to say the least - and makes the transitions from each stage of dry down to be very unique and keeps you on your toes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo to sum it up - Ngapali hails from the South Western Coastal region of Burma - a rarely seen area of a highly regarded region. Juiced from the best material from a single, nearly 200 year old tree.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'll get High Altitude Coastal Mountain Air, ever so Smooth Resin, topped off with sweet, resinous Tropical Fruits and Florals. On top of that, it's an oil produced by a traditional Copper Deg distillation over a wood fire - but doesn't smell barny, burnt, sour, or leathery. We've managed to produce a complex, rather modern-smelling clean Oud oil that folks in the West crave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2018 Ngapali is a real gem and deserves to be in every collection.

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 gentle leather and hay, but they aren't in the forefront. More of a textural quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a dark oil profile - one that I usually call a Whiskey Profile - but there's not really any smoke or peat to it.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI wouldn't call this \"ethereal\" by any means, nor smokey - but there is a \"dancing in the nose\" quality to it that not unlike those first moments of ethereal vapors when a chip hits the subitism. It widens the eyes, so to speak. Not to mention smells really damn interesting. Some might experience this as a hint of smokiness ... but maybe not.\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.\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\u003eDhansiris 2010 isn't quite Ateek (my cutoff on classifying as such is 20 years of aging) - but the oil could certainly pass as one. It has an ancientness to its odor profile. Old antique furniture. Rustic library. Ancient spaces. Old jungle. It's not sweet - but there's that sweetness of old places to it. And the resinous drydown !! This is a book worth reading, a journey worth traveling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a really excellent oil, and I hope you'll find some space for it in your collection.

It also is the logistics hub for Indonesia’s thriving eastern oil and gas frontier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe origin of Sorong’s name comes from the word Soren, which means “deep and wavy ocean” in the Biak language. The name was first used by the Biak-Numfor people who sailed to different islands before they finally decided to settle down in Raja Ampat Islands. When the Biak-Numfor people came to the place called “Daratan Maladum”, they decided to call it Soren.

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 – Myanmar and Indo – Bangladesh borders, having rich biodiversity. As such, you may even find hints of Bangladeshi and Burmese nuances in the oil. \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 you’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.  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 you’ve ever tried 50+ year old Scotch - you’ll have an inkling what I’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.

Distilled from old wood from the Taman Negara Forest Preserve, sandwiched in between Kelantan to the West, Terengganu to the East, and Pahang to the South. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs for when it was distilled … I got this a few years back directly from the distiller, who retired back in 1999\/2000, and is currently in his 80’s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe hung on to this batch, which he had distilled  back in 1983\/4\/5’ish.

This is the last of his “retirement fund”, and I was lucky to have this come in to my possession a few years back. 2026 seems like a good time to bring this out and begin offering it.

I've only smelled something like this once or twice before - and this is a FAR SUPERIOR version of what I had previously smelled. 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\u003e•    Rotten onions or garlic\u003cbr\u003e•    Sewage, garbage, or dead animals\u003cbr\u003e•    Turpentine, gasoline, or gym socks\u003cbr\u003e•    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. \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.
