Laos Ant II 2024 : New Gen Incense Grade Wild Central Laos Antwood Pure Oud Oil - Dehn al Oudh - Rising Phoenix Perfumery - Borikhamxay Series

Class : Wild, Incense Grade
Species : Crassna / Sinensis
Distillation : New Gen w/ a Soak, Copper
Distillation Date : December 2023 - January 2024 (30 Day Clean Soak / 15 Day Gentle Distillation)

This is a small batch of Wild Laos Antwood Oil that I produced spanning December 2023 and January 2024. It’s a sibling to Laos Ant (I) 2023, which was produced with no soak, from the same batch of high grade wood from the same Borikhamxay region.
Here with Laos Ant II we took a long, very clean and controlled 30 day Soak, followed by 15 days of “low and slow” distilling. No barnyard at all - and what we got was rather surprising …
I tweaked the temp curve on this oil, even lower on the front end, and higher on the back end than I did with Laos Ant (I).
**This is NOT a Taiwanese Oil - I had this custom produced for me in Vietnam
Wild Laos oils in general are quite challenging to produce, as they've been harvesting woods out of Laos for literal millennia. Woods and oils are especially beloved in the Arab / Gulf Market - but there are some "Asian Market" flavors to be found in Laos, as well. Laos Ant II 2024 is one such example that straddles both worlds - a floral and squeaky clean New Gen distillation with hints of that beloved Hay & Honey the Gulf loves so dearly. .
These Laos Ant oils I have produced from some exquisite wild ant wood.
Antwoods in general are known for their sweetness, and are especially beloved and appreciated in the Asian market. The Arab Market tends to go for the Malaccensis woods found in Laos, especially those closer to the Western and Northern borders in the country. Asians, on the other hand, go for the Crassna and Sinensis species, which are much more rare in the region - and that's what we've produced for you, here. Check the listing photos for some photos of the woods used to produce this oil.
This oil is exquisite, and although from Central Laos - I think anyone smelling this blind would easily think this is a pristine Vietnamese oil. I think I, myself, would have been fooled had I not been the one producing it ! The oil is a deep Burnt Yellow color - and the scent profile is like some of the ancient Vietnamese woods I've sourced from Japan in years past. Incense'y. Maybe even a little spicy. Deeply resinous. Ooodles of Oudy Goodness !
Now that I've made a few batches of oil from the Borikhamxay haul of insane incense quality batch of woods - we are really working to explore what we can creatively pull out of the scent profile. This is downright DAMN GOOD.
I can't express just how much I know you are going to love this oil !
THE SCENT
Laos Ant II 2024 is a squeaky clean copper-distilled New Gen. Whereas previous batches in the Borikhamxay Series have been super sweet, bright, and uplifting oils - Laos Ant II 2024 is a Darker, Deeper, more Incense'y oil. Even the darker Burnt Yellow color leads one to presume it'll be a deeper, more Zen-like scent.
What we ended up with is an octave or two lower than Laos Ant (I) 2023, with the smoothest Suede, like the softest leather imaginable, and wisps of Golden Hay. That alone sounds enticing! Now imagine those golden notes Entwined around Melipona Honey and hints of white florals, drying down to Oudy Incense and Musk. Simply put - it’s exquisite !
Compared to Borikhamxay, which has some unique notes of Juiced Pear and Fruit Peels and a subtle Citrus Zing - Laos Ant II straddles more a Japanese / Arab aesthetic, complete with Florals and Honey and Golden strands of Hay.
Complex. Very lightly and Sweetly Resinous. Old old wood tones. Even a slight Bitterness, reminiscent of the sweet / bitter dichotomy you'll find in the best Chinese tea leaves - sweet on the front of the palette, bitter on the back.
Further in to the experience is a medley of Wildflowers and just a tiny bit of something earthy, reminiscent of fresh-tilled Garden Soil. It lasts forever too ... the drydown on me lasts a solid 12-15 hours or more with just a tiny drop. We've got a real performer on our hands!
Laos Ant is Japanese Incense Sticks, Vaporous Mint, Golden Hay and the plushest Suede, Wildflowers and Bitter-Sweet Tea Leaves, and Deep, Incense'y Oud Resin - and maybe a touch of Muskiness in the drydown. Really smells like ancient wood here, and that Vaporous quality really gets my nose revved up.
I'm a little relutant to sell this oil ... it's so damn good. This oil came out even better than I had hoped it would.
Very limited batch - grab some while available !
