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.

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.

Usually fewer than 100 bottles will be sold world wide. And to find an 80+ year old bottle - you could have a down payment on a house!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI only mention this to emphasize just how rare it is to find an oil like this made available to the public, and at a price that is less than a really old bottle of whiskey - and at a price tag far below what you'd expect on a dram of a bottle that old. These are historical relics, juiced from ancient trees at a time when all the best wood would have been tossed into the pot to make the richest, most excellent oils that simply are not possible to reproduce today in any kind of scalable capacity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst and foremost, I want to say that this oil smells ...

Kinda reddish purple florals layered over the orange burn from the charcoal, and thick, dense smoke permeating your nostrils.🫶🏼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese kinds of ancient scents are hard to be duplicated. Time and phenomenal raw materials are the only way to produce this kind of textural scent. If you’ve ever tried 50+ year old Scotch - you’ll have an inkling what I’m talking about.

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.

Those shavings were used to produce a traditional Deg and Bapka distillation by fire - and it's an absolutely explosive oil that I love and have been a bit reluctant to sell, I'm loving it that much.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow - imagine distilling those high grade incense chips New Gen style, with no soak … and that's exactly what we did!

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.

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. I'd place this as a Mozarella on JK's Fermentation Scale. 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. Very rich and bold. The kind of oil that'll wake you up in the morning with a jolt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe drydown is like those old animal skin rugs I used to see in my childhood. Furry. Leathery. Cozy. I used to love rolling around and sleeping on those old fur-skin rugs, and HHJ is really stroking those aromatic memories of mine from my youth. We don't really see rugs like those any longer (thankfully) ... but I do think there are DNA memories from our more primal histories, clad in leathers and furs long before the threads of cotton and linen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaflong Haranga Jao manages to dig down deep and stoke those aromatic ties wound deep in my genes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePotent.

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.

Gorgeous, green jungle air and Kynamic mind buzz - and I don't use that term lightly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe floral notes on this are just incredible. 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.

I think that is in part why this oil came out so unique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond saying it is Green and Floral and intensely Oudy and that it has great mind buzz - I wanted to offer this oil as my first new Oud of 2023 and launching just in time for Chinese New Year as a way of commemorating this unique vacuum distillation project I've undertaken in Indonesia.

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.

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.

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 ...

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

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

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.

When I felt like we had collected enough - it all went in to the pot - and what came out was nothing short of perfection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne note on species ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany logs get labeled as being Malaccensis or whichever species - but a few old timers that I've spoken with tell me specifically that Tigerwoods from peninsular Malaysia actually come from the Rostrata species - a name some have heard of but few have ever seen batches of surface. I think there is an argument to be made that Tigerwoods have been mis-identified in the past, and are potentially the specific creations of Rostrata trees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes Tigerwoods special is their characteristic stronger than normal room temp scent, which is also one of the reasons they are highly prized for making beads. The other is the beautiful \"flower\" patters of resin the logs usually form, which when cut, make beautiful resinated patterns in the beads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother interesting note - Tigerwoods rarely sink, although they can and do get quite resinous. The highly aromatic woods are due to a very high oil to resin ratio, which is why they are more aromatic at room temp than other woods. Even lower resin dense Tigerwoods are highly prized for making beads for this reason - as the high oil content is more meaningful than the resin density inasmuch as the beads will be aromatic, regardless. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith that said - I wanted to juice a batch made of exclusively Tigerwood bead waste to see how it would turn out. And oh my did it turn out !!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContrasting against my previously sold out oil, Terengganu Ant, which was made exclusively from Ant woods known for their sweetness - Tigerwoods are often known for their floral aromas - one reason that Tigerwoods I think are often mis-identified as being Microcarpa or Beccariana species. Tiger King II 2021 strengthens this theory of mine ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTiger King II 2021 opens up with a burst of bright tropical fruits and narcotic florals - even more vivid than our initial batch. It's punchy - Roaring off the dipstick and on to your skin looking for its favorite prey - your nose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis oil is so complex I'm not even sure how exactly to describe the cornucopia of fruit and floral notes, and I seem to pick up different things on different wears, making it more difficult to pinpoint exactly what I'm smelling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a few customers have mentioned to me - it’s as if the Top, Heart, and Base are perceptive all at once - swirling around in multifaceted form, showcasing different facets from one moment to the next. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes its Guava and Citrus and Gardenia - other times its Passion and Jackfruit and indolic Jasmines. The one constant is that these swirling tropical fruits and narcotic florals are always tightly wrapped around rich, resinous Tigerwood Resin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite being brightly fruity and floral - Tiger King II 2021 also manages to be deeply Oudy and Resinous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of my fellow vendors who has tried this oil was having a little trouble pinning down the origin, which isn’t surprising as the oil is very enigmatic, and doesn’t shout out as being Malaysian in origin. Viet? No. Laos? No. Burmese? No. Thai!? No. It’s a Sinensis, right!? Nope. But I will admit - the drydown DOES smell like a rich Sinensis. 🥰\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's an incredibly complex and fun to wear oil.

Each location has a unique set up, yielding unique oils - and we are generally distilling woods within their own countries of origin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular oil comes from my proprietary Vacuum setup in Indonesia, one that we juiced back in February of 2022 - so we have the added bonus of a little aging already at the time of release. We are able to distill these oils in a very unique way, unlike anyone else out there is doing them, and in-so doing, we are able to capture notes and profiles you've likely never experienced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the unique set up - we combined harvests from 2 species from an area of West Kalimantan for a unique co-distillation, combining Malaccensis with Hirta\/Candan. Hirta\/Candan is a small, incredibly rare type of Agarwood species that normally wont yield huge amounts of wood due to the small size of the tree, but the wood it does produce is incredibly prized, especially in the Arab market. It's known for it's unique spiciness, which plays out delightfully in this distillation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen we talk about Kalimantan or Borneo oils - names like Malinau or Tarakan, areas to the north eastern part of Indo Kalimantan - come to mind. West Kalimantan we see less frequently in our market - and Melawi, a region within West Kalimantan and further inland from the coast - even less so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'll notice the oils is called Melawi Kalbar ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKALBAR, which is short for \"Kalimantan Barat\" - is the local name for the region that has gone into the legends of the History of Oud in the Gulf Region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApart from Malinau and Tarakan in the North East, which I had previously mentioned - Kalbar is known for some legendary Agarwood profiles that are craved by Agarwood connoisseurs that are in-the-know. From Sekadau to Putussibau, this region has got a number of forests with delectable profiles. Melawi woods and oils we rarely get to see, as it is further South and Inland ... juiced like nobody but Rising Phoenix can, so this is an extra special treat!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSCENT\u003cbr\u003e\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\u003eMelawi Kalbar 2022 I'd say has elements of both - and you'll be quite pleased with the distinctiveness 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. So if you don't like the funk - you should really give this a try.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo produce Melawi Kalbar 2022, 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 reddish color that is rather soothing to the eye.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe floral notes on this are just incredible. It's floral without smelling like any particular flower, wound around incense smoke, and a little bit of a vivid spicy jungliness, without smelling overly green. I had to wear it several times before it all started to make sense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond saying it is Floral and Incense'y, Jungly and Spicy and intensely Oudy - it has great mind buzz that some folks rave about. Maybe even a little Oceanic and Minty. This oil is certainly a more \"active\" oil - a good pick-me-up. And like Borneos are known for - this is an excellent hot weather oil to wear, as it's not heavy or overbearing. It also shows a nice personality shift between the heat and humidity outside, and the cooler interior of the home. Makes stepping out into the heat a little more bearable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI can only imagine what a few years of aging will do to this oil - I'd highly recommend grabbing a bottle to use, and another to shelve. I promise - this oil is gonna be absolutely magical in a few years. It's not a huge batch - so I suggest not sleeping on this one too long.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon’t forget to light up a stick of our Melawi Senkoh and contrast the wood against the oil !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Melawi West Kalimantan Kalbar Pure Oud Oil,Malaccensis Hirta Candan CoDistillation","brand":"Rising Phoenix Perfumery","offers":[{"title":"0.3g · Sample Vial","offer_id":44154993574113,"sku":"","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.3g · V-Vial","offer_id":44154993606881,"sku":"","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1g · Glass Dipstick Bottle","offer_id":44154993639649,"sku":"","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1g · V-Vial","offer_id":44154993672417,"sku":"","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2g · Glass Dipstick Bottle","offer_id":44154993705185,"sku":"","price":525.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3g · Full Quarter Tola (Glass Dipstick)","offer_id":44154993737953,"sku":"","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8955\/0305\/products\/il_fullxfull.5216287651_lt9m.jpg?v=1698077616"},{"product_id":"dhansiri-2010-nagaland-hindi-oud-oil-traditional-wood-fired-indian-dehn-al-oudh-pure-artisan-oud-oil-rising-phoenix-perfumery","title":"Dhansiri 2010 : Floral, Spicy and Whiskey Nagaland Oud Oil","description":"Jungle : Dhansiri Distillation - Wood is from adjacent mountains of Nagaland Forest - India\u003cbr\u003eClass : Wild : 180+ Year Old Tree\u003cbr\u003eSpecies : Agallocha, Single Live Tree \u003cbr\u003eDistillation : Traditional Wood-Fired Deg and Bapkha, Copper - Minimally Fermented\u003cbr\u003eDistillation Date : Early 2010 - First 12 Hours\u003cbr\u003eDistillation Type : Floral\/Whiskey\/Spicy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a super 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.

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.

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

I remind only to say - this was produced for the palate of very deep pockets with a very refined taste, for the collection of a single patron of financial stature that most will never attain. Something many of us likely would never get a chance to smell or experience if it weren't for my very unique relationships with some very out-of-sight people, known only to a certain unusual class of customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing I find very interesting about woods and oils from the Island of Leyte, specifically - is that in the Gulf, Leyte is adorned above all others for it's Cambodi-like sweetness. I find it interesting because, to my nose, the WOODS don't particularly smell Cambodi-like. The scent of the woods I find to be a very distinctive scent to the Philippines - and in this case, to Leyte, specifically. The OILS, however - the oils I DO find can carry some of the Red and Purple Berries of Cambodi oils that are so beloved. And so it is in the OILS that I find the Cambodi comparison to hold some water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeti Neti - bridging the old self and the new - brings forward that warmth of berry compote from Cambodia to the distinct island flavor of Leyte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a rich, brothy Umami to the oil that reminds me of the punch vinegar and fish sauce bring to Filipino dishes (don't worry ... it doesn't smell like vinegar or fish sauce, haha). But it has a brothy punch that reminds me of how these flavors bring a certain zing to a dish, giving it a life and mouthfeel just not found in other cuisines. That same Umami punch is here, in Neti Neti.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Berries here really shine for me. The Tartness of Raspberries and the Dark Fruitiness of Cassis, combined with that brothy Umaminess - it's not an overly sweet oil - but the combination reminds me of some kind of French Cassis Pastry I used to eat ages ago when I lived in Avignon. Great at any time of year, but especially hits the spot in cooler weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeti Neti has hints of some oceanic notes - but it's less oceanic than many of my Island oils. Leading me to believe that maybe the woods used for this production came more from the mountains of the interior. It's still there - but I fund the jungliness of the ocean breeze to be more humid and dense, than light and sandy. There are some humid soil notes I occasionally catch, as well - lending more to the dense humidity of forest canopy than that of toes in the sand. Whatever the case - it's quite enjoyable, and lends a textural note to the overall vibe of the oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral of my Saudi, Kuwaiti, and Qatari clients have seen samples of this oil already, and every single one of them has LOVED it.
