Better Than Coffee
Oriscent Kyara Koutan. Another heavy-bodied and nose-numbing oil, in the veins of Royal Kinam V1, Kyara LTD, Pusong LTD, and Nha Trang LTD. I'd say it comes closer to Royal Kinam V1 than the others.
Strong, medicinal, and bitter kinamic fumes that numb your senses and pierce through the cortex, down the spine, and in the back of your throat. I once applied too much and could taste the oil in my mouth. This is a powerhouse oud oil. Less is more. A tiny dot envelops you. And although I find it very similar to RK at the top, the body is very different. I never smelled a Burmese oil like this. No leather, no funk, no fermentation. Pristine and clean yet heavy. Deep and brown. It has three main facets that intermingle. And each time I wear it, I get something slightly different. I'm testing to see if the amount I apply makes a difference. Sometimes, it is very antiseptic, with an almost verdant and cooling quality like eucalyptus. Other times, I get a green jungle smell during heavy rainfall. More often than not, it displays steamed milk, hot chocolate, cocoa, coffee-like earthiness and flavor. This latter facet is always present, but sometimes it shows itself more than the others. Bitter-medicinal fumes at the top dissolve into this steamed hot chocolate body that soothes your soul. Savory almost yet never gourmand. Maybe I should let one drop slip into my cup of coffee and see what happens. That's how I'd like my coffee every morning. One thing is sure. It clears your mind and awakes your senses like a strong cup of black coffee.
