Dry roasted nuts. Not overly savory. Not much Sweetness. At least not on the front end. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNaharani is an interesting area - well known for it's tea plantations, and a superb tea area at that. Although I wouldn't call this oil tea-like, I would say that it is like a good stiff cup of English Tea with no sugar and a little splash of milk. Natural sweetness of the tea and milk shining through.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough not what I'd call a sweet oil, It does develop a little bit of maltiness after 30 or so minutes of wearing. Hints of smoke and dry incense form the Heart of the oil, with that lightly malted sweetness poking its head out here and there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dry down, I would argue, does have a little hint of dry tea leaves in there. Just a hint of fruits and leatheriness common to the teas from the Naharani area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the JK's Scale of Cheeses - this is a Nutty Brie. Very little fermentation. Good milkiness. Not overly daring. Easy to wear, especially if you like friendly Hindis that are not New Gen's.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a comparison - 1999 Mokokchung Seufi is a VERY gourmand oil. TONS of chewy toasted nuts and caramel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2017 Naharani Seufi, by contrast, is dry-roasted nuts, incense, with hints of hay and suede. Both Seufi oils, but quite different characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeufi oils are distilled from the infected branches of Agarwood trees - and by default, they tend to be produced in small quantities. This oil has 6 years of aging on it already, so although it'll continue to develop over the years, I don't imagine we will see drastic changes to it in the short term. It's prime for wearing right now, no waiting necessary.

A real treat, to say the least.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo - knowing it's going to be a distinctive Seufi scent, I'm sure you're wondering - how's it smell, JK !?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs one client joked, \"Like the toasted nuts of those that would destroy me - or not send the oils I paid for\" haha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn all seriousness - the opening notes are that of savory toasted nuts. Maybe not of those that wish ill of me ... but seriously, toasted nuts. hehe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first time I smelled this oil it took me back to when I was a kid when my folks would take me to the Indiana State Fair (the madre is from Indiana - and her side of the family is still out there). Remember those cinnamon almonds and toasted cashews that would scent the air as you walked by the stands? That's the first memory that struck me upon smelling this oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oil transitions from Savory Toasted Nuts in to a Sensual Hay and Sweet Jaggery - that sweet, wood fired coconut sugar that if you've never had it, you need to. The Hay note in this is just gorgeous. It's not a fermented, farm'y hay note. Rather it's that sweet clover bails of hay that you smell in a barn - aging for winter. That sweetness from the Hay and that almost wood-fired coconut sugar note make me melt every time I open the bottle and swipe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs if the oil hasn't been enough of an adventure - the Dry Down begins to express hints of Dark Cocoa, and the Hay notes transition into a Leatheriness that highlights the Seufi Resin oh-so-beautifully.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe unique geographical mountainous region of Mokokchung, coupled with the exclusive top branches of centennial trees used to produce this exclusive Seufi oil yields an exquisite savory sweetness that highlights the pronounced aroma of the region. The oil has had 23 gorgeous years of aging at present, to boot - rounding out the oil in much the same way whiskies get sweeter and smoother with time. Oils like this are not found out on the market, and when they are on those rare instances - they hide in vaulted VIP exclusive access, often never seeing the light of day for the likes of you and me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a rare opportunity to add to your Ateek collection a superb example of a 100% aged Seufi oil, juiced exclusively from the top 1\/3 of branches from 5 centennial trees.
