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. Consider picking up a Tola to keep you warm and lovable through the coming cooler months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Jiribam Guf Oud Oil,Manipuri Oud Oil,Hindi Oud Oil,Indian Oud Oil,Pure Oud Oil,Traditional Oud Oil,Agallocha","brand":"Rising Phoenix Perfumery","offers":[{"title":"0.3g · Sample Vial","offer_id":44154935673057,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1g · Glass Dipstick Bottle","offer_id":44154935705825,"sku":"","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3g · Full Quarter Tola (Glass Dipstick)","offer_id":44154935738593,"sku":"","price":510.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12g · Full Tola","offer_id":44154935771361,"sku":"","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8955\/0305\/products\/il_fullxfull.5063506195_7s8d.jpg?v=1698076336"},{"product_id":"jiribam-incenze-2019-manipuri-hindi-pure-indian-oud-oil-traditional-deg-series","title":"Jiribam Incenze 2019 : Sweet Incense Smoke and Resin Manipuri Oud Oil","description":"Jungle : Jiribam, Manipur - India\u003cbr\u003eClass : Wild Agallocha, Incense Grade Chips\u003cbr\u003e*Single Wild Tree Distillation \u003cbr\u003eDistillation : Copper, Traditional Wood-fired Deg and Bapkah - solely the first 12 hours of distillation\/1st Jal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow this is a real gem ... one that I’ve shelved and has been awaiting the right time to emerge.

This oil is a real delight! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJiribam Incenze is an unfermented traditional copper Deg and Bapka, wood fire-distilled oil - and it is oh-so pleasant on the nose!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA lot of folks have somehow been scared off traditionally distilled Deg and Bapka oils, or Hindi’s in general, as I think folks fear any potential offputting notes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe good news is - not all Hindis are fermented, and even when they are, they can have a depth and character that most other oils simply won’t have. 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). Anyone who cooks understands how wood-fire cooked foods have a depth and complexity of flavor that is unmatched by other methods. The same can be said of any well-made traditional oil ... the key here being properly made!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scent on this is just gorgeous, and if you’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 incenses’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 Jiribam Incenze is rich in those sweetly Smokey first moments of a chip on charcoal 🥰🫶🏼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you're a whiskey lover, we'd call this a light to medium peated, with sweet wood notes and hints of fruit and flowers, layered over rich resin and incense woods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you love the scent of rich, resin dense wood on charcoal - you will absolutely LOVE Jiribam Incenze. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome tropical florals and fruits peek out through the smoke and resin - but the overall character will leave you wafting through high grade Manipuri smoke and resin 🥰🎉\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmall, high grade batch made from incense chips from a single tree.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an oil that punches way above it's price.

Nice also that I'm able to give a specific geolocation from Kumlong - one of the towns inside the Mokokchung area of Nagaland. Considering so many woods from India or Bangladesh are sold simply as \"Hindi\" or \"Assam\" - it's nice to be very specific, and I always do my best to narrow it down as much as possible so we can enjoy the specific Terroirs of where the woods and oils are coming from.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs I mentioned, mountainous Agarwoods can develop some unique scents - and there is an airiness to this oil that reminds me a bit of some Borneo oils. It's not oceanic, like many oils from nearby the ocean can develop, so it's not like a Borneo in that regard. But rather - an airiness like that ozonic scent you get when trekking up in the mountains. There is the scent of elevation in this oil. Of stony rock outcroppings and dry forest air. The scent of campfires far away in the distance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an easy oil to wear. I'd place it on JK's Cheese Scale as a Grassy Brie - very light fermentation, with a dry grassy note that's more aged dried grass than fresh green. Not Hay, either, mind you. Just a lovely dried grassy note like you'll sometimes find in some cheeses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI also detect both types of Incense, as I denote them. Both a light smokiness - like heating chips on charcoal, as well as an incense'y note - which is not a smokey note, but reminiscent of incense. More incense'y - and only the slightest hints of wafting smoke peeking through on occasion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI'd say this is more of a Dry Oil - it's not really Savory or Sweet. More of a Dry Incense, hints of smoke, grassiness - and high mountain airiness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot much Hay or Leather - although there is maybe some hints of chewy toffee in the underbelly of the oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs I said, it's a very easy to wear oil.

It's piercing, in a very positive manner. I want to dump it all over me. I wouldn't say it's brain piercing ... more like a soul piercing. I don't know how to say it other than ... this oil touches me in an 18 and Older kinda way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this is a traditional distillation - it's very clean.

Very light and clean, and oh-so-smooth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, there are some Hay and Leather notes throughout, but they are not overpowering. Seamlessly weaving, I'd say, through the other aspects of the oil. It's a charismatic oil that wears like an old pair of jeans, or your favorite pair of leather boots. You can't help but feel good when wearing them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI get this \"Je ne sais quois\" floral quality from it. The oil, itself, is a lovely golden-orange color - and I'd say the flowery notes are reminiscent of its striking, visual color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is an almost saffron spiciness to it. That's part of its floral tone, I mentioned above. Some Hindi woods have a \"Zafran Note\" - I'd say that is what I'm smelling. And Zafran really gets my engines revving. But it's more than that. You'll soon see what I mean ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI love Tea Notes in Ouds, and both the color of the oil, itself - as well as it's potent aroma - reminds me of a stiff cup of orange'y mountainous Assam tea.

Especially the old players, and with folks where the newer styles of production just miss the mark for.

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\u003eNaharani 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 2017 - pure and uncut, and distilled exclusively from the upper branches from old trees - all around 70-90 years old.\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\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an interesting Seufi oil.

Natural sweetness of the tea and milk shining through.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough not what I'd call a sweet oil, It does develop a little bit of maltiness after 30 or so minutes of wearing. Hints of smoke and dry incense form the Heart of the oil, with that lightly malted sweetness poking its head out here and there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dry down, I would argue, does have a little hint of dry tea leaves in there. Just a hint of fruits and leatheriness common to the teas from the Naharani area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the JK's Scale of Cheeses - this is a Nutty Brie. Very little fermentation.

Both Seufi oils, but quite different characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeufi oils are distilled from the infected branches of Agarwood trees - and by default, they tend to be produced in small quantities.

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.

The lake was commissioned by the Ahom king Siva Singha.It lies about 360 kilometres (224 mi) northeast of Guwahati. This city is surrounded by the Dehing rainforest, where the Dihing (Brahmaputra) and Lohit rivers meet. The Dikhow river flows in the east.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSivasagar, formerly known as Rangpur, was the capital of the Ahom Kingdom from 1699 to 1788. The Ahoms ruled Assam for six centuries until their kingdom fell to the Burmese in 1819 and their ruling class was all but wiped out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe province was conquered by the British in 1825 and was completely annexed in 1826. For administrative purposes, it was divided into three sub-divisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is said that the original name of Sivasagar was - ‘Kalansupar’ after the name of ‘Kalansu Gohain’ who resided in a village that originally existed in the place where currently the Sivasagar tank is located.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Hindi Oud,Upper Assam Oud,Sivasagar Oud Oil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly 1 available","brand":"Rising Phoenix Perfumery","offers":[{"title":"0.3g · Sample Vial","offer_id":44154968572129,"sku":"","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1g · Glass Dipstick Bottle","offer_id":44154968604897,"sku":"","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3g · Full Quarter Tola (Glass Dipstick)","offer_id":44154968637665,"sku":"","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12g · Full Tola","offer_id":44154968670433,"sku":"","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8955\/0305\/files\/IMG-3193.heic?v=1750778872"},{"product_id":"sujanagar-2016-pure-bangladeshi-oud-oil-dehn-al-oudh","title":"Sujanagar 2016 : Milk Chocolate, Suede and Smooth Hay Bangladeshi Oud Oil","description":"Jungle : Sujanagar - Pabna District\u003cbr\u003eSpecies : Agallocha - Wild\u003cbr\u003eClass : Traditional Copper Deg and Bapkha\u003cbr\u003eProfile : Whiskey Distillation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Milk Chocolate and very smooth Hay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to custom distilling the majority of our own Oud oils, I'll also pick up unique stuff I find along the way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSujanagar 2016 is one such example of a wild oil from a region of Bangladesh that we hardly ever have a chance of getting our hands on, as the vast majority of Bangladeshi woods and oils we see in the market are plantation stock, and from further north in the Sylhet region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular oil we found down in the Pabna District, with the oil hailing from Sujanagar, bordering the Pabma River - famous for its Elish fish (the National Fish of Bangladesh). 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.

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 180 years old, with already over a decade 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 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. Let's just say its deep without really being overpoweringly dark.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd strangely - there is a lightness to it - as it is also a rather floral and spicy oil. \"Spicy\", as Indians would say. Don't expect \"cinnamon and spice\" notes. There is a piquantiness to it in the nose. It dances a bit. 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.

I've been doing more and more work directly with various forestry departments - which is what brought this unique specimen in to my sights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack in 2007, a tree well over a century old came down in the wilderness preserve of Sonai Rupai. It was collected by the forestry department and then handed over to a local distiller, juiced and then the oil was shelved for aging.

With that...a quick story :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn February of 2023 I hosted another Artisan OudFest here in metro Atlanta. There was an Indian gentleman who has been in attendance at several of my events now that flew in the other side of the country, all the way from California. Great guy who's been all over the world. Aside from his stellar personality - one of the things I appreciate about him his extensive travels in the pursuit of Agarwood, and has had the opportunity to browse - in person - quite a few woods and oils directly in the countries of origin, as well as across the Gulf. I mention this because - he mentioned at the event that the specimens that I brought out here in Atlanta were the most diverse and best he had seen in any single place he's been, and on top of that - I had what is likely the greatest collection of Indian and Subcontinental oils anywhere on the planet...and I didn't even bring but a fraction of the collection out over that joyous weekend!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs I briefly mentioned - this oil hails from a unique geographical area. Sonai Rupai comes from Northern Assam, where it bumps up against Arunachal Pradesh and Bhutan. This makes this oil really unique in that I find elements of all three regions present in the oil, and they meld together in a way that makes for one very unique oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite this being a traditional distillation, conducted over a wood fire in a traditional deg setup - don't expect Sonai Rupai to be a stereotypical hay and barn profile. Rather, Sonai Rupai is what I class as a \"Whiskey Distillation\" - akin to several of the VERY popular oils currently in the shop like :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJiribam Guf 2006\u003cbr\u003eKrishnai Char 2016\u003cbr\u003eDawki 2016\u003cbr\u003eSujanagar 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've tried one of these oils and liked it - you'll love Sonai Rupai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor starters - it's a DEEP oil. It's not bright. It's not airy or ethereal. Like the above mentioned oils ... it's on a spectrum of BLACK. Even the color of the oil is nearly pitch black.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the Whiskey Profile suggests - expect Peated Malt, dark woods and hints of what could be Bitter Cacao - layered over rich Resin, Hay and Leather.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't expect florals or fruits or amber sweetness.

Giggidy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've been slowly trying to educate folks on some of the industry terminology - as often different areas have different types of formations or lingo for those formations. Terms like Guf and Char are often found in Gulf\/Arab markets - and are commonly used terms in the Subcontinent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this case, I'd like to introduce you to Guf.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHAT IS GUF ?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuf is a type of formation that is similar to Char. For those that are not familiar with Char ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChar is formed in naturally felled trees where the tree may come down and seemingly be dead, but portions of the roots or trunk continue to live. Char is also formed in the stumps and roots of previously harvested trees - again, where one would think the stump dead, but actually goes on living for years, or as is more often the case - for decades, even centuries. More on this in one of the Char listings, but for now - suffice it to say that Char and Guf are similar formations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow is Guf different? Guf is found in the outer portions of the trunk and large branches where there has been injury to the tree. Where Char comes from \"dead stumps\" - Guf is formed in live trees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuf is a highly sought out formation in Khaleeji\/Gulf markets for its resin density and very enjoyable scent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's rare to find woods from Mizoram, let alone oils produced from this specific type of formation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgarwood from mountains and elevation always have distinctive scents - and this batch is no exception. Nice also that I'm able to give a specific geolocation from Lunglei. Considering so many woods from India or Bangladesh are sold simply as \"Hindi\" or \"Assam\" - it's nice to be very specific, and I always do my best to narrow it down as much as possible so we can enjoy the specific Terroirs of where the woods and oils are coming from.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to grab some and find out just why it's so highly beloved !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e+PS - we have some Guf chips in the shop from Lunglei, as well, that were harvested in November of 2021.
