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. The sweetness, I think, would throw most people off. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter a few small test batches, I amended production with a few additional tweaks for a full small-batch run, and came out with an absolutely exquisite and pristine oil that I am quite proud of.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI can't express just how much I know you are going to love this oil !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorikhamxay is a squeaky clean copper-distilled New Gen.

It's floral without smelling like any particular flower. Maybe I'd say it's even a hint of Peach'y. It reminds me, in a way, of what the air in the Hawaiin jungles smelled like ... florals and greenery and hints of tropical fruits wafting in every breath. Almost sweet tasting on the tongue. Even just from opening the bottle and taking a deep inhale, the scent will linger in my nostrils for many hours, tingling and teasing me, begging me to apply some.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a single tree that we used for this distillation, which also makes it unique in the world of Ouds.

Meroke is an area of Papua Island generally known for its swamp and mangrove buried woods. However - this is made from a Live Tree - as opposed to the Dead \/ Swamp Woods of Merauke \/ Meroke in the far South. Yielding a lush, green, vibrant Filaria oil that’ll stick in your nose for hours just smelling from the bottle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've seen oils like this sell for thousands of dollars a bottle, and I think you'll understand why. It's a rare type of tonal quality to the oil, and it's a very enjoyable wear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first thing I notice about this oil is the viscosity. It's thick, but not syrupy. I imagine with age, this oil will thicken a little further, as it's already gotten thick in the better part of a year since we juiced it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the bottle, it’ll blitz your nose, straight to your brain with a piercing greenness. Many who have seen samples have noted how the scent will stick in their noses for several hours, even just smelling straight from the bottle. Muting is anything but muted - chalk full of lively nuances, and bursting with vibrancy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite being from Papua, there’s also some likeness to the Sweetness of East Malaysian oils - as well as an interesting Oceanic Silani vibe. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn sitting down to write the description for Muting, and found myself a bit perplexed. As simple as “Oceanic \/ Jungle \/ Earthy” sounds, the complexity of nuance and the sweetness of lush greenery has my mind bound up in imagery I can’t quite find words for. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThose with a fondness for Meroke oils, mostly made from dead swamp woods, know how flat they tend to smell. In contrast - you’ll note just how lively my Vacuum Series of distilled Live Tree Filaria oils are - and just how RARE this green scent profile is. And the depth of that Filaria Oud resin note - ugh - to die for !!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you like darker, complex, deep and nuanced Oud oils ... you're in for a real treat.

I was lucky in that they still had some of the distillation details, which I included above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have several of my own operations in various locations, and my Indian operation has become finely tuned at connecting with old old family operations, or their descendants, in the case that the operation is no longer functional. It's gotten to a point that they are now seeking US out, which is great news for all of you. Lots of cool relics to find their way into the shop for years to come. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an area like the Subcontinent, with such a long history of harvesting and oil production, it's amazing some of these historical finds from decades, even centuries past, that I've been able to be adding to the growing collection. It almost feels like an archaeological find !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Ateek” - for those wondering, our English word for Antique has it’s roots in this word, which is the same word in both Arabic and Hebrew. It means ooooold ... a fitting moniker for this rare gem of an oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegardless of the specific geo-location, it’s not often we get an uncut family heirloom that is 75 years old and counting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust consider for a moment how a good bottle of Scotch is valued. 16-18 years old is already getting rare. 20-25 years old, and maybe a fortunate few will get themselves a bottle. 30 years old? 50? Usually fewer than 100 bottles will be sold world wide. And to find an 80+ year old bottle - you could have a down payment on a house! A nearly 100 year old bottle might buy a neighborhood of them !!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtremely old Oils like these are rarely, if ever, available to the public - let alone in small quantities. Even when I find them, it's \"all or nothing\" - take it all, or lose the opportunity. So it's quite a rare convenience being able to even be able to sample an oil of this caliber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually these rare finds are vaulted in VIP circles where the opportunity to purchase them is by invitation only, and at that - at prices manifoldly higher than what I offer them for. I know of two such VIP vaults, specifically - and I say this with confidence as I have a few customers in that echelon that have told me quite a few stories ... and prices - with the added burden of minimum quantity thresholds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI only mention this to emphasize just how rare it is to find an oil like this made available to the public, at a price that is less than a really old bottle of whiskey - and at a price tag far below what you'd expect on a dram of a bottle that old. These are historical relics, juiced from ancient trees, at a time when all the best wood would have been tossed into the pot to make the richest, most excellent oils that simply are not possible to reproduce today in any kind of scalable capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy Ateek Series collection of oils are curated by me, and are mine, and mine alone.

This oil is practically Chinese ! This particular oil was made from a tree harvested up near the modern day Bhutanese \/ Tibetan border. I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a nearly Tibetan Oud before !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaktsang (\"Tiger’s Nest\")  is a famous Monastery in Bhutan, for which the area is named.

Thereafter, he meditated here for three months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaktsang Goemba or Tiger’s Nest Monastery was blessed and sanctified as one of Bhutan’s most sacred religious sites. It hangs on a cliff and stands above a beautiful forest of Blue Pine and Rhododendrons ... hints of which can be found in the scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs one would hope, this oil smells ...

Whispers of history long past. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1949 Taktsang Ateek has a sense of rawness to its scent. Crisp High-Mountain Air, Wildflowers, and Thuja are followed by Ancient Woods and Moist Earth. As one of my Korean clients says, \"It sinks deep into the Lungs.\" It has an incense-y quality, and an even more masculine woodiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have a few clients that I've sent samples to, and several have commented that, although this is an Agallocha \"by definition\" of its origin - the scent profile is unlike other Bhutanese oils we've tried, making us all think maybe this is some sort of local subspecies, possibly even a different species altogether, as the oil is quite unique smelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scent has a general dark feeling, yet somehow has a vibrant foresty quality to it - along with a mysterious fruity quality that I haven't yet found the right words to describe. It's not like the Juniper Berries, Mulberries, Tamarind or Plumbs that can be found in Cambodi, Burmese, or Thai oils. It's an opulent scent, dissimilar to what I've experienced from other regions. Almost Cassis-like in it's blackness. It is unlike anything I've smelled even from other Bhutanese oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's made me wonder if this is a local subspecies or an entirely different species, as it's such a unique scent. But, for lack of knowing, I'll say it's an \"Agallocha\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe everlasting longevity is another notable quality of 1949 Taktsang. Like the hanging cliff monestary bearing the same name, it practically moves in and hangs out in your nostrils forever !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for something truly unique, but distinctively Oud'y - your search ends here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1949 Taktsang Ateek is an oil for the archives - a centerpiece on your trophy shelf.
