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.

It's a beautifully wooded area, dotted with farms and nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI work with two brothers, both of whom have Biodynamic farms in Khao Yai and Prachinburi. We three have been distilling together from the very beginning of Rising Phoenix - and several of the Wild Thai and Plantation Thai oils that I've had in the shop over the years has been produced by one of the two brothers for me. Often from superb incense woods from older 30-40+ year old trees from their farms, but on rare occasion, from wild woods, usually from old stocks we find from a farmer friend, or from the occasional wild tree that comes down in the area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike many parts of Thailand - swaths of farms of Agarwood grows in the region, as the area grows and produces some incredible woods, and some beautiful oils are produced from the area. Khao Yai, Prachinburi, Trat, Rayong, Chanthaburi - these names conjure some of the most commonly found regions for plantation woods and oils. These regions used to be home to some of the most prized woods in the Far East. In fact, some of the most prized pieces of wood I find when I'm in Japan - the kinda stuff they don't readily show you - are not from Vietnam or Cambodia ... but from the old jungles of Thailand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinding wild Agarwood from the area these days ... is quite a challenge. \u003cbr\u003eEnter Wild Thai Khao Yai 2021.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oil really allows the sweetness of the Incense and Oud nuances from the region to shine through in an easily accessible way.

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.

More on that shortly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHunters have long known that agarwood trees growing in mountainous areas yield the sweetest smelling wood, especially those from rocky cliffs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch of Nagaland is known for its gentle sweetness of flowers and wildflower honey present in the woods, and very lucky when those floral notes carry over in to the oil. It is already the well-known key feature of agarwood from this region, but extracting the oil can highlight those nuances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'll notice this oil has a some good years on it, too - which is why I'm adding it to the Ateek Series - a series of some very aged oils that I'll be releasing through 2022, and possibly in to 2023 if I don't get them all out before the end of the year. These are some real gems, and testaments to Time, History, and the Quality of Yesteryear. Distilled by veterans in the field often long gone from this earth. Be sure to search \"Ateek\" in the shop to discover some of these unique olfactory opportunities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI mentioned before that this is a pure Seufi Oud oil - and that Seufi oils are a class in and of themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeufi oils are produced exclusively from Agarwood found in the branches. Many don't realize it - but different parts of the tree, as well as different types of infections - all can have distinctive olfactory characteristics. Seufi oils are a mainstay in Gulf tastes - but as you can imagine, the quantity of oils being sold contrasted against the number of branches to be distilled ... you'll be lucky if a \"Seufi Oud\" on the mass market is 3-5% actual Seufi. Even that small percentage can impart a distinctive flavor to an oil that sets the mouths of lovers of Hindi Ouds to salivating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMokokchung Seufi, in contrast, is 100% Seufi. This is an unusual rarity generally found only direct from distillers or from exclusive VIP corners in select locations, and only in small quantities. Commercial companies usually blend oils like this in to big batches (rarely do you get single distillation oils from big companies). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this instance - we acquired this directly from the distiller who produced this oil back in 1999 - pure and uncut, and distilled exclusively from the top 1\/3 of branches from 100 + year old trees. 5 trees over a century old, to be exact. 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.

This is not simply true. What IS true is that Time can smooth some rough edges - but simply put - shit oils that are aged are simply old shitty oils. If you want a fine aged oil, it's gotta start out as a fine new oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI used to live in Avignon, capital of the French Cote du Rhone wine country. Known for their tannic wines that often needed aging to smooth the rough edges. I used to study wine - and I was fascinated how vinters could spot a wine that needed to be sold quickly - and one that needed to be set aside, knowing that additional age would magically cause the wine to blossom in a way that only Time could do. It is an art that few can master, but when they do - it's a fireworks display that drops jaws.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike aged fine whiskey or wine or tea - aging an oil can add layers of complexity and character in a way that no other process can duplicate. Generally speaking, a little aging can smooth out some rough edges on an oil - but you can't fix ugly. On the other hand - distillers - myself, included - will sometimes set aside great batches for further aging, knowing full well that a great oil now will yield an exceptional oil down the line. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhich brings us to my Ateek Series - a collection of oils that I have collected, directly from collectors or from the distillers, themselves - that have shelved oils in the pursuit of showcasing what age can do to beautify an already excellent specimen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SCENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the greatest ironies of traditional Hindi distillations is that many non-Arabs (Hindi distillations tend to be destined for the Gulf Market, after all) find traditional oils and fermentation to smell like farmland\/manure\/fermentation. This will generally yield an oil that smells of some level of cheese - all the way from Bries and Camemberts to the far end of the spectrum of Blue Cheeses. I do not classify rot the same as fermentation - the same way that cheese is not the same as rotten or spoiled milk. Now the irony to this is - many Arabs and Subcontinentals will say that traditional\/fermented oils smell SWEET. I think this categorization differs from how, say Western or Asian noses perceive fermentation - as I detail above. However, Jiribam Ateek 2000 I would say is categorically a genuinely Sweet, Ambery Oud oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI see this happen over and over again when I have visitors to my workshop - and it's even more pronounced in mixed company. A white or Asian visitor will say, \"I smell animals!\" whereas an Indian, Pakistani, or Arab visitor will exclaim, \"It's so sweet!\" Just goes to show that aromatic context matters, and that there is no accounting for tastes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJiribam Ateek 2000 I think everyone will agree - is a sweet oil. Yes, there is some barn and hay and leather, but the overall personality I find in this oil is AMBER. It's a pleasantly sweet, Ambery vintage Oud that's easy to wear and brings a smile to my face every time I apply some. And the Dry Down ... soooo sweet! I feel a little bit like I am eating one of those Indian Sweet\/Sour candies ... tart fermentation paired with the natural sweetness of Amber.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn top of that delightful Sweetness is the beloved character of Manipuri \"King of Indian Oud\". Manipur has a flavor profile that many in the game recognize as the most sought after flavor profile, that of the wild and lush forests of Manipur.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd to that pleasant sweetness and Kingly geo profile what only 23 years of aging can add, and you've got Jiribam Ateek 2000.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've had quite a few Jiribam oils and woods in the shop at this point, and I think it's safe to say that they have all been well received.

By denying everything you are not, you move closer to what you are at your core - Pure Consciousness, beyond description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phrase is rooted in Hindu philosophy, particularly in the teachings of the Upanishads - used in self-inquiry and meditation. Instead of defining yourself by what you are, you gently deny everything you are not - your roles, your emotions, even your very thoughts - until only pure awareness remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes the Path to Truth isn't about adding more, but in quietly stripping away what doesn't belong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering this oil was produced right before the Pandemic began back in 2020 - I thought the \"not this, not that\" concept fit perfectly - born of one world, and then thrust into a new. Just as many were forced to come to terms with their new realities, the death of our old selves and way of doing things opened the door to new opportunities and expressions of self. A New Consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd so - Neti Neti was born, right as our old world was about to meet an abrupt death, and the new and unexplored Consciousness of Post-2020 was about to begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSCENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Philippines is the latest, and likely the last, of the old world jungles yielding incredible old-growth woods. Add to that the difficulty with which to get your hands on any materials due to the rampant corruption over there - Filipino woods and oils are a rarity in a class all of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis oil, as I had mentioned, was produced by a colleague of mine for a private collection belonging to a very wealthy Gulf client of his. 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.

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.

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.
