I still remember to this day the look on my friend's face when I first swiped him with this oil. A mixed look of surprise, doubt, processing overload, and again, surprise!
We're in UAE, and the general oud taste is mainly Hindy and Cambodi. A Hainan Sinensis profile is basically foreign to most and is an acquired taste here in the region. However, long story short,.... my friend came back asking for more!
This oil gives you Hainan. simple, loud and clear!
Bitter, green matcha, medicinal, woody, and if I could borrow a musical analogy, it's on the side of a mid-high pitched note. It has this bittersweet piercing and sparkly note that satisfied all sinensis cravings. Clean, without any animalic nuances, with a hidden sweet note in the background.
This is an oil to enjoy with an incense stick drinking green tea. ..a meditative oil, a personal joy!
