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

This is indeed from the same distillation family, distilled the same year, from a different single ancient tree.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhereas 1941 Naga Ateek is hints of smoke wrapped about a deeply fruity hooka bar tobacco - Mokokchung Ateek is hints of fruit hiding inside a blazing charcoal chip. I get hours and hours of incense smoke from this beast, and it's glorious. More on that shortly ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a relic distilled during the last World War 😱 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis oil is a unique historical relic that I acquired directly from the distillation family that produced it in 1941. I was lucky in that they still had some of the distillation details, which I included above.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Ateek” - for those wondering, our English word for Antique has it’s roots in this word, which is the same word in both Arabic and Hebrew. It means ooooold ... a fitting moniker for this rare gem of an oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegardless of the specific geo-location, it’s not often we get an uncut family heirloom that is 82 years old and counting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust consider for a moment how a good bottle of Scotch is valued. 16-18 years old is already getting rare. 20-25 years old, and maybe a fortunate few will get themselves a bottle. 30 years old? 50? Usually fewer than 100 bottles will be sold world wide. And to find an 80+ year old bottle - you could have a down payment on a house!\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 ... ATEEK. It reeks of ancient awesomeness. Timeless old trees in primeval forests. Scents from another Time. Whispers of history long past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecondly - Nagaland is known for delightful florals, and although this oil does have some beautiful fruity\/floral notes on the front end- the real joy of this oil is the dense incense smoke.\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 Mokokchung Ateek is RICH in thick incense smoke like billowing wafts from a thick chip on charcoal 🥰\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'll notice the artwork I have for this oil, and I'd say it's spot on for the scent. 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. Now imagine an additional 30 years of maturing and you've got an idea of just how delectable this oil is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMokokchung Ateek 1941 is an oil for the archives - a centerpiece on your trophy shelf.

By this I mean that certain types of woods are generally not seen in our market over on this side of the world, but are favored more over in the Far East - in the Asian markets of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat kinds of woods am I referring to? Woods like Kyara\/Kynam, Soil\/Clay woods, and particular insect formations - like Ant Woods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy is that?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerally for a few reasons ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first is the most obvious - price. The Asian market is generally willing to pay higher prices for certain types of formations that they consider special, having either a superior scent characteristic - or a more nuanced one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother obvious reason is direct heat vs. indirect heat - referring to the Arab's preference for charcoal heating vs an indirect method like electric, or burying charcoal in rice ash - like that used in a Kodo session. Some types of woods are best not enjoyed on Charcoal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is meaningful in a few ways ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirstly - delicate woods require delicate heat. Tossing on charcoal generally means you'll miss out on the nuance - and favor just the resin notes that tolerate the higher heat. Enjoying really expensive woods in this way means you'll miss out on what makes them expensive - the nuances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second thing here is that many of these other types of formations are more temp sensitive, in part due to how their particular formation forms - but also because many of these other types of formations tend to be thinner formations. In particular here - are Ant wood formations, like which we used to produce this oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnt formations tend to be thin formations made by the tree responding to ant colonies burrowing into the trunk wood. You read that correctly - the infected wood used in this distillation is formed by a particular insect - the ant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnt woods aren't often seen in Arab shops in the Gulf. In fact - I almost exclusively see them spoken of and offered in Asian circles, where they have a particular taste for their delicate sweetness. Ant wood is ideally enjoyed on delicate, indirect heat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough most distillations will likely have a little Ant or Insect Wood tossed in the pot as wood is being added indiscriminately - rarely do we see single batch distillations made SOLELY from Ant. Our first oil, Terengganu Ant was a big success and sold out quickly. As I am currently in the process of collecting enough suitable Ant Wood to run a second batch - I have a vintage batch of very unique Ant Wood oil that I present to you, distilled a few years back. I present to you, Ant-teek 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT ANT-TEEK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the name implies - this oil smells ancient. Or as we've come to be calling vintage batches from 2000 or earlier, \"Ateek\", after the Arabic word for Antique or Old. This oil smells like an ancient library. More on that in a moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst, a little history on this oil ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have a few distillers I work with in West Malaysia, and some of my own equipment and operation in East Malaysia. This particular oil was distilled by the same guy I work with to produce my Tiger King Series and several other West Malaysian oils I've offered over the years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular guy and his brother took over their Dad's operation when he retired. You should see some of the stuff he had in his inventory. OMG. But I digress ... I work with both brothers - and although they are brothers - they have their own individual operations. One brother deals solely with wood, and the other deals with woods, and also distills and makes beads. It's this brother that I tend to work and collaborate with, and we've been working together for quite a few years at this point. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oils he produces for me are custom productions - hence the Tiger King Series. He also distilled Terengganu Ant and Ipoh Strawberry for me. As I've been wanting to make another Ant distillation, and it takes quite some time to collect suitable material and some quantity of it to juice, he offered me an oil he shelved that he had originally produced for the Chinese Market back in 2016. Just a few Tolas of exceptional quality that for whatever reason, he kept. I imagine when you smell it you'll understand why he kept it. haha But, since we are currently collecting woods, and it takes longer these days than it used to, he offered this vintage oil to me to hold me over.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDistilled in the style that has come to be known as a New Gen style - but not quite the same. New Gens tend to be really Top Note rich, and although this oil will punch you in the face with it's Top Notes - it's the sheer depth of the scent that makes this oil truly unique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat I can't figure out is - does the oil smell like this because it has nearly a decade of aging on it, and this is what all my New Gens will smell like 8 or 10 years out - or was this oil unique to begin with? Whatever the case ... it's a winner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs mentioned previously - imagine the scent of an old library. Ancient hand-written works of art and hand-bound leather books housing sweet, vanillic parchment pages filled with the histories and stories of long past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou stop to thumb through a book, cracking it open and breathing deeply - that scent that only old books have - like vanilla and spice - greet your curiosity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs you browse endless rows of lovingly worn Teak and Mahogany shelves, you marvel at the worn polished and lacquered wood floors worn smooth by centuries of book worm's feet browsing the isles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWafts of varnish and stone catch your nose as the heat from your expedition gently warms the air.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mix of Beccariana, Malaccensis, and Hirta no doubt impact this unique scent, either. The oil has a Purple tone to it - likely from the Beccariana - like wafts of Concord Grapes and Kudzu Flower Jelly ... delicacies both in Japan and here in the Southern US. Rich Asian Spice from the Hirta that'll pleasantly tickle your nose. Rounding off with that hit of sweet, syrupy Malaysian Malaccensis Oud resin that'll anchor your feet back down to the ground after your head has been in the clouds from the opening. It's an experience that is both exhilerating and meditative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis oil smells ancient. The Ant Woods used must have come from quite old trees, because you can almost smell the centuries of intelligence locked into them. And knowing the stocks he had access to from his father's archives of inventory all those years ago - I have no doubt this unique oil was produced from ancient trees. You can really smell it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a special oil, not just because of the caress of age, nor due solely to it's unique production from Ant Woods ... this oil is different. You'll understand what I mean when you smell it. I can only hope that some of the New Gens I've been producing will settle into something like we have here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnt-teek 2016 is a true Ateek Gem - ancient Ant Wood that'll delight your senses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmall-batch vintage production.

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.

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. You can smell right here off your wrist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo the value, in this regard, is like 3 Origins and 2 Species for the price of 1 oil.

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.

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.

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. In some ways it's like capturing a single essence or soul - rather than the average of many distilled together. 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. I've already got several new things in the works for 2023 and 2024 - so I hope you'll join me in kicking off the New Year with a kynamic BANG!\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.

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":"emw-2022-west-malaysian-mount-panti-co-distilled-with-sabah-keningau-east-meets-west-pure-dehn-al-oudh-oil-pure-new-gen-oud-oil","title":"EMW 2022 : Purple Flowers, Concord Grape and Sabah Mint Malaysian Oud Oil","description":"EMW 2022 : West Malaysian Mount Panti Co-Distilled with Sabah Keningau - East Meets West - Pure Dehn al Oudh Oil - Pure New Gen Oud Oil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJungles : (Gunung) Panti Mountain, Johor - West Malaysia + Keningau, Sabah - East Malaysia\u003cbr\u003eClass - Wild, Vintage Batch of Panti Mountain + Keningau\u003cbr\u003eSpecies : Panti Mountain : Microcarpa and Beccariana\/Keningau : Microcarpa\u003cbr\u003eDistillation : Copper, New Gen - August, 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**This oil, btw, has taken me nearly 3 years to produce.

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.

I have some of that wood here on hand that we juiced this marvel from that I've included in the photos.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I know of two such VIP vaults, specifically - and I say this with confidence as I have a few customers in that echelon that have told me quite a few stories ... and prices - with the added burden of minimum quantity thresholds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI only mention this to emphasize just how rare it is to find an oil like this made available to the public, at a price that is less than a really old bottle of whiskey - and at a price tag far below what you'd expect on a dram of a bottle that old. These are historical relics, juiced from ancient trees, at a time when all the best wood would have been tossed into the pot to make the richest, most excellent oils that simply are not possible to reproduce today in any kind of scalable capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy Ateek Series collection of oils are curated by me, and are mine, and mine alone. They are not available anywhere else, and your access to them is exclusively through Rising Phoenix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBhutan, \"Land of the Thunder Dragon\" named Druk, who is the national symbol of Bhutan that graces their flag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular oil was distilled from a single ancient tree harvested in 1949 from Paro Taktsang, which already is much further up than most of the rare Bhutan oils and woods we see, which generally come from closer to the border with India. This oil is practically Chinese ! This particular oil was made from a tree harvested up near the modern day Bhutanese \/ Tibetan border. I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a nearly Tibetan Oud before !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaktsang (\"Tiger’s Nest\")  is a famous Monastery in Bhutan, for which the area is named. Guru Padmasambhava, popularly known as Guru Rinpoche, visited and sanctified Bhutan in the 8th century when evil spirits abounded and harmed people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLegend has it that Guru Rinpoche flew to this site on a tigress’ back to subdue a local demon. Thereafter, he meditated here for three months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaktsang Goemba or Tiger’s Nest Monastery was blessed and sanctified as one of Bhutan’s most sacred religious sites. It hangs on a cliff and stands above a beautiful forest of Blue Pine and Rhododendrons ... hints of which can be found in the scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs one would hope, this oil smells ... ATEEK. It reeks of ancient awesomeness. Timeless old trees in primeval forests. Scents from another Time. Whispers of history long past. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1949 Taktsang Ateek has a sense of rawness to its scent. Crisp High-Mountain Air, Wildflowers, and Thuja are followed by Ancient Woods and Moist Earth. As one of my Korean clients says, \"It sinks deep into the Lungs.\" It has an incense-y quality, and an even more masculine woodiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have a few clients that I've sent samples to, and several have commented that, although this is an Agallocha \"by definition\" of its origin - the scent profile is unlike other Bhutanese oils we've tried, making us all think maybe this is some sort of local subspecies, possibly even a different species altogether, as the oil is quite unique smelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scent has a general dark feeling, yet somehow has a vibrant foresty quality to it - along with a mysterious fruity quality that I haven't yet found the right words to describe. It's not like the Juniper Berries, Mulberries, Tamarind or Plumbs that can be found in Cambodi, Burmese, or Thai oils. It's an opulent scent, dissimilar to what I've experienced from other regions. Almost Cassis-like in it's blackness. It is unlike anything I've smelled even from other Bhutanese oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's made me wonder if this is a local subspecies or an entirely different species, as it's such a unique scent. But, for lack of knowing, I'll say it's an \"Agallocha\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe everlasting longevity is another notable quality of 1949 Taktsang. Like the hanging cliff monestary bearing the same name, it practically moves in and hangs out in your nostrils forever !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for something truly unique, but distinctively Oud'y - your search ends here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1949 Taktsang Ateek is an oil for the archives - a centerpiece on your trophy shelf. I imagine for those of you that like to commemorate special occasions with special scents, you'll want to swipe '49 Taktsang Ateek. For those that do, your future will hold garlands of rich Bhutani-Tibetan Gold, gracing your memories for years to come ... and maybe roar like Druk the Thunder Dragon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rising Phoenix Perfumery","offers":[{"title":"0.1g · Sample Vial","offer_id":45724702572769,"sku":"","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.3g · V-Vial","offer_id":45724702605537,"sku":"","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5g · V-Vial","offer_id":45724702638305,"sku":"","price":877.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1g · V-Vial","offer_id":45724702671073,"sku":"","price":1525.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5g · V-Vial","offer_id":45724702703841,"sku":"","price":2275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3g · Full Quarter Tola (Glass Dipstick)","offer_id":45724702736609,"sku":"","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8955\/0305\/files\/Taktsang1949_3.png?v=1726659133"},{"product_id":"garlois-2025-meghalaya-hindi-oud-oil","title":"Garlois 2025 : Tea, Saffron, Raspberry and Varnish Hindi Oud Oil","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarlois 2025 - Meghalaya - India - Pure Artisan Hindi Oud Oil - Dehn al Oud\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJungle\u003c\/strong\u003e : Garo Hills, Meghalaya\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies\u003c\/strong\u003e : Agallocha - Wild\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistillation\u003c\/strong\u003e : June 12 - 22nd, 2025 - 2 Day Soak, 12 Day Collection\u003cbr\u003eClass : Traditional Stainless Deg and Bapkha - Wood Fired - Distilled exclusively from high grade \"red\" wood and shavings from a single old tree around 150 years old\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfile\u003c\/strong\u003e : New Oil with, surprisingly, an \u003cstrong\u003eAteek Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eOld Tree Tea Leaves, Nutmeg, Saffron, Raspberry, Hints of Florals, Edible Tree Barks, Hints of Smoke and Ancient Resin, Ateek Vibes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a really fun small batch of oil I made not from a tree we took down ourselves, but was able to get some incredible wood and the top grade shavings from a singular 150'ish year old wild tree from the mountains of Garo HIlls, Meghalaya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurprisingly, despite being a batch I made in 2025 - it really has a tonality more similar to the Ateek oils I've been offering.

Fine nuances that are astonishing to have survived, as if in cryogenic stasis for three quarters of a century.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've only smelled something like this once or twice before - and this is a FAR SUPERIOR version of what I had previously smelled. It's an unforgettably unique scent, and I think you'll understand what I mean once you smell it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo my nose, it smells like a combination of Chocolate Grenache and Durian. If you've never smelled or tasted Durian before ... Durian is famously polarizing: its smell is often described as intensely foul (like rotting onions, sewage, or gym socks), but its taste is rich, creamy, and sweet, with complex notes of custard, caramel, banana, and nuts that many find delicious once past the aroma. Bear with me ...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe caveat here - and don't run for the hills just yet - is that this oil smells more like Durian tastes than it smells - and the scent is more akin to the sweet sweat of Horses than it is to onions or gym socks. I had some young teen ladies in the clinic recently smell this oil, and they picked up the Chocolate note, and said the other fruity note reminded them more of riding horses - so I think I'm on the right trek here in terms of the profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo many Westerners, Durian resembles a mix of :\u003cbr\u003e•    Rotten onions or garlic\u003cbr\u003e•    Sewage, garbage, or dead animals\u003cbr\u003e•    Turpentine, gasoline, or gym socks\u003cbr\u003e•    Overripe cheese or vomit\u003cbr\u003eBut people who grow up with durian often describe it as sweet, musky, and complex, with notes of tropical fruit, honey, and roasted nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--\u0026gt;It's the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003esweet, musky, and complex, with notes of tropical fruit, honey, and roasted nuts that I'd say this oil reminds me of. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've never tried Durian before - I probably just scared you. But it's really worth trying if you ever get a chance. To the people that love it, it's a really delicious custard, fruit and honey and nuts flavor that is eaten as a raw fruit, is made into ice cream and hard candies and all kinds of things in the Far East. It's a delicacy and a bit of an aquired taste ... but then again - so is Oud. haha Just trust me on this one. It's delightfully unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to that custard'y Durian flavor is the Chocolate Grenache. There's a rich, thick, syrupy Chocolate note on the front end of this oil that I find really mouthwatering. And that flavor of the Custard plus the richness of the Grenache that makes this profile so distinctive. That's really what I get from this oil - Durian Custard + Chocolate Grenache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oil is also Tobacco'y and Toffee'd - so if you like those Gourmand notes and Tobacco profiles (a very frequently requested kinda profile) - I think you'll be quite pleased with Taman Negara.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e15 years officially in business and I've only come across this note once or twice, and this is the finest example I've ever seen of it.
