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. We've been running test batches and have been getting some spectacular results.

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.

Part of this batch was sold in Kuwait more than a decade ago. The last of it, here, was kept by the owner to age. He kept a few Tolas for himself, and the remainder of it is here with me. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oil itself is a bit of an enigma. Starts out like a smooth, aged oil of Indian origin that would make anyone who loves aged Hindi’s happy even if it ended right here. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs if to take us on a journey, Kakawit takes a surprising turn towards a breezy, tropically fruity Heart reminiscent of a beautiful Sri Lankan Walla. Although the species on this was never specified - it’s this Walla likeness that leads me to believe it’s most likely a Gyrinops species. Although the drydown has me wondering if there’s some Cumingiana in here, as well. More on that in a moment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter winding through India and Sri Lanka, tropical fruits and luscious ocean breezes putting our Minds at ease - what I can only describe as incense smoke emerges, made extra bizarre as I don’t detect anything that I’d call smoke in the Top or Heart of the oil. It’s here in the Base that I’d say Kakawit starts to hit me more as a Filippino oil, especially as it smells like a mix of Walla and Cumingiana chips on a nice ashy charcoal - smooth and refined…before drying down to a musk bomb. It’s bizarre and unexpected and oh-so-much fun 🤯\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the oil was distilled locally in the Philippines - I’m positive this is a 100% Filipino origin oil and is not mixed with any Walla or Agallocha - which makes the enigmatic journey through India, Sri Lanka, and crossing the finish line in the Philippines all the more cool. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiven the age of the oil - and we all know how insane the woods coming out of the Philippines were these recent past few years - it’s safe to assume the quality of wood that went in to making this oil more than a decade ago was some pretty damn nice wood.

Doubt he ever expected an American to be his umbrella nearly 50 years later 😆\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the tastes of his clients were different back in the 70’s - expect this oil to be more traditional, but in line with the quality and class of the other old oils in my Ateek Series. Which is to say - Smooth, like very old Scotch. It’s obvious this is an old oil, and was made from ancient trees. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo put it simply … it is superb. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhereas Kakawit 2010 is more of a pre-New Gen style - Manila 1976 is an opulent, deep, rich old Arab flavor that’ll hit the spot in a way that newer oils somehow don’t (yet 😆). Gotta be that intangible factor of Time that simply can’t be replicated. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts quite a complex oil, and I’m finding the words to describe it to be a little inadequate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpect a smooth, rounded opening. Similar to old Hindis … but different. It’s certainly nothing to be afraid of. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes I feel like I’m wearing an old Sri Lankan Oil. The drydown is obviously Filippino - but the ride from Beginning to End is filled with fruits and florals, hints of smoke, oceanic breezes and resin and musk and ancient wooden floors. There’s a lot going on. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI find Manila 1976 to be a very meditative oil. Very grounding. But also feel like it’s “charging my battery”.

Even more prized are the live tree specimens - with the most distinctive oils being produced from Filaria. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs many are more familiar with Meroke in the South, or Jayapura almost directly North - few have experienced woods and oils from the center of the Interior - in this case, from Asiki, within the Boven Digoel Regency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFar from the ocean and surrounded by dense jungle - I expected this single tree haul would yield something truly incredible, and it didn't disappoint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike many Papuan and PNG woods which come from near the coastline, Asiki comes from the interior and also from a live tree. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is of import because so many Papuan woods - especially those sold from the norther tip around Jayapura and the southern tip from around Meroke - are usually recovered dead trees from swamps, rivers, and mangroves. So they smell very earthy and sometimes muddy - not necessarily a bad thing, mind you (check out our Meroke 2018 currently in the shop - an excellent specimen of this type!).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLive Tree Filaria can have unique green or floral notes, and I'm proud to say - Asiki hits both of these nails on the heads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis oil has one heck of a mind buzz - piercing terpenes off the charts with our proprietary extraction method. If you like New Gen oils ... Asiki Boven is a MUST.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAsiki bursts out of the bottle with Papuan Green Kynamic notes. In fact, it reminds me of a batch of Green Papuan Kyara I have that I'll offer to clients outside of the shop 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.

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.

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 ...

These regions used to be home to some of the most prized woods in the Far East.

The vast majority of Burmese oils we see these days are farmed, overly fermented, and generally are of low (albeit \"market standard\") quality. Ngapali is neither of these.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2018 Ngapali, on the other hand, was distilled from a single tree that was nearing 200 years old. It was distilled from resinous black broken chips and shavings from all the top incense grade material from this single tree. And ... I have some of that wood here on hand that we juiced this marvel from that I've included in the photos.

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.

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.

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

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":"zero-to-fifty-2018-ztf-an-unusual-sri-lankan-oud-pure-oud-oil","title":"Zero to Fifty 2018 : Yogurt, Ocean Breeze and Berries Sri Lankan Oud Oil","description":"Jungle : Sri Lanka, mixed region\u003cbr\u003eDistilled : May - August 2018\u003cbr\u003eWood : Gyrinops\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE IDEA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis was an unusual project.

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.

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.

Qing oils usually smell quite herbal - \"like Chinese Medicine\". Blue, Green, and Qing oils are all HIGHLY sought after - both for their colors, as well as their unique odor profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the one hand - they can lean Minty - like some East Malaysian woods can be Minty \/ Medicinal smelling. On the other hand they can smell very Herbal - like the scent of a Chinese Medicine Pharmacy. If you've ever been into one, you'll recognize that scent immediately. As a Chinese Medicine practitioner, myself - it's a very familiar and pleasant scent profile, and one that is well-known and beloved by many East Asian consumers. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt's quite a rare profile, and highly desired. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this particular case - it's a potent Chinese Medicine Pharmacy profile, and smells soooo good. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI distilled this batch back in March of 2022 and then shelved it. I have several Malaysians I've shelved, and will be pulling out periodically to add some variety into the shop. (Don't overlook my Tiger King \/ TK Series, for example) (There are some special Malaysian woods in the shop, as well).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat often starts as Blue or Green or Qing will often morph into a brown or red color. In this case, after 3 years of aging - we now have a deep Blood Red-colored oil, like a liquid Dragon's Blood, or a really deep glass of red wine. So deep red that it almost looks black, like a dark garnet or ruby. For an oil, it's a really unique color of red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scent profile, Chinese Pharmacy scent aside, I find quite challenging to describe. It's Sweet. Very long lasting. The herbal notes morph and shift and smell like a dozen different things, yet like none of them. Star Anise and Dang Gui. Benzoin and Cloves. Humid Patchouli? Styrax and Mu Xiang? It's wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eI'll add that I get some occasional \"purple\" or \"grape-leaning\" notes, which leads me to believe some of the Ant wood used may have had some Beccariana mixed in with it - as Becc tends to smell like Concord Grapes.

The yields were exceptional (not something the average oils out there are doing), indicating the quality of the woods I reserved for this particular project were even better than I had hoped.
