…like in the 80s. It was not uncommon to have gigantic well resinated woods pass through the hands of Mr Lee as you can see in this picture from 1985 🙂 Some parts of the block had resin more than 1 inch thick and almost solid in nature! How I wish i was there to buy this piece in the 80s, that would definitely serve my “kodo” needs for this lifetimes and many generations to come. This piece was eventually sold to Japan if Mr Lee did not remember wr…

Impressions of the Ranjatai
…us fragrant woods. Amongst these 61 fragrant woods, there are 36 Kyara, 3 Shin Kyara, 1 Sasora (Horyuji, but debated to be Rakoku), 4 Rakoku, 10 Manaban, 6 Manaka, and 1 Sumatora. This suggests that some Jin-koh itself can be exceptionally fragrant despite not having the identifying features of being Kyara. However, Jin-koh of such grades and qualities are perhaps as rare as Kyara these days….
Cultivated Agarwood
…just on one surface. Without further ado, a small chip was put on the mon-koh test. Starting with a low temperature, the wood was really quiet, i could imagine it being gagged and tickled by the heat but no sound was heard…. Disappointed, I revved up the heat a little more and got a little bit of life. The resination seems a little queer, the coloration was rather dark, but it was just so hard to get the scent properly released, it doesnt bubb…
De-mystifying Onycha
…I think of that “legend” to be plain hogwash, but it is impossible to “out-talk” them when it comes to these things. So what is Onycha, and what is its role in Incense? We seen the use of onycha in Biblical incenses, where Moses had to offer an incense called the Qetoret to the Ark of the Covenant. The recipe for the Qetoret calls for the use of onycha. On a “Judaical” time line, Moses lived around the time of 1500 BC. Around the same era, ther…
KZ ventures into oils
…ike how we brought back this sandalwood oil that a Taiwanese suppler had constantly stocked pile for the religious communities to use over the past few decades. What is our business model on this? Don’t drop your jaw on this. We’re looking at narrow margins for ourself, in the spirit of sharing. We’re not here to corner the market or to disrupt it, but just to share good scents. This is not in anyway to rock the boat for the oud trade. There are m…
Pu Erh Tea Storage issues
…the pursuit of alternative drying methods 3) The tea cake must not be over-compressed 4) There must be sufficient moisture in the cake, it cannot be absolutely dry. Perhaps so far from experiments it seemed that many of the delicious sealed stored cakes had a moisture content of around 10-12%. Once these parameters are fulfilled, you may have considerable success in a few years when your tea matures with decrease in bitter notes, the appearance o…
Usage of Kynam or Kyara in the naming of modern Incense products
…re are some interesting products : This is a fine product from a Taiwanese company, with the words “Qi-Nan” in the product name, but it is made from Indonesian agarwood. Another “Kyara” incense for ten dollars? (when kyara is hundreds of dollars/gram?) Golden Kynam, the label says, but the contents are pretty much kalimantan agarwood or a mix, because the smell reminds me pretty much of Irian/Merauke agarwood “Kyara” Sinking Grade Incense. When…
The Importance of Incense Stick Angle
…. At very high humidities, such as in Singapore where you can have an RH of 100% at night, fine incenses can smell a little muted, dull. Apart from turning on the air conditioner to dry the air and cool the air to about 25 degrees celsius before I sample an incense, it took quite some experiments to figure out the optimum burning angle for myself in such environmental conditions. There is no “hard and fast” rule to this due to weather fluctuations…
Little Vials of Joy – the ASAQ Thaqeel
…d on skin starts to unfold itself, just like the petals of a blooming lotus- opening layer by layer to reveal an aged honeyed core reminiscent of how the sweetness of ripe plums is intensified upon drying and aging. Bold yet not overbearing, mature florals weave through the aged honeyed, occasionally leathery richness, slowly transmigrating into a phase of woody, perfumed softness. Silky, deep, like the thick sweet fragrance of wild Cambodian agar…
Scent classification by the Chinese
…is diagram for quite a while, a common diagram used by the chinese when it comes to perfumery and other scent related applications. Decided to spend the past week translating it so that more people can get access to the information.. so here it is!.. Basically, they had classified all scents under 4 primary tastes (from which spicyness is now a subset of bitter?), and under each taste there is overlap and contributions from both plant and anim…
