You know that feeling you get when your favorite sports team or, race car driver pulls off a miracle and, you feel blessed to have been there, in that moment. Its the type of exhilaration that makes you cheer and, jump out of you seat with uncontrollable joy. That's the feeling that washes over me when I smell Pencerahan.

The hands down mirrored effect of burning chips is just mind boggling!

I'll need some time with Pencerahan, but it's the best oil from Agaraura I've ever tried. Has that vaporous Kinamy opening
These oils have a certain transparency and clearness about them, it's difficult to put in words.

It’s hard to believe Pencerahan is Malaysian! It’s quite unlike any other Malaysian oil I’ve smelled, being totally devoid of the mulchy damp notes I’m accustomed to associating with them. It soars with clear and crystal terpenes, rindy notes of neroli brigarade, bright citrus notes of lemon myrtle, tender balsamic notes, hints of the ripe sweetness of golden nectarines, the nutty scent of sunflower seeds and a trace of premium Madagascan vanilla. After a while some deeper notes of moist tobacco and sweet clover begin to surface and there’s a soft, powdery dry down that reminds me of some favorite notes when heating wood. It’s sunny, energizing, playful and dynamic- the kind of oil I want to wear when I’m anticipating meeting a favorite friend, on my way to a long-awaited event or when I’m in a super good mood and feeling especially joyful.

Brilliant oil. An excellent balance of sweet, smoke and spice with no off notes.

Pencerahan has the best longevity in dry down of all oud oils I have ever had the pleasure of.

I'm sort of enamored with this one. Took about a day to get there, as it was powerful and sort of masculine at first (which really isn't something I'm normally concerned with but somehow this time had an impact). It's so very very different, and time and time again, as I catch whiffs, it just really strikes me how reminiscent this is of burning chips. I mean I put my nose to it, and it instantly takes me there.

Pencerahan is an amazing rich medley of spices, mouthwatering dried berries, permeated with unmistakable scent of burning chips.

Pencerahan est pure ! Cette huile m'a rappelé Sultan´Solace : la pureté d'un bois lumineux mais en mieux encore... Il peut y avoir une petite odeur moisie , au départ ( et je sais que celle-ci peut en rebuter quelques uns) , mais vraiment , après , lorsqu'on porte cette huile , cette odeur finit par disparaître pour donner un parfum addictif , très distinct . Et le fond , incroyable ! Je ressens une odeur très étrange , que je ne parviens pas à qualifier , spécifique au Oud . Ce Oud , qui à l'origine , m'a profondément attiré , mais sans qu'il y ait de notes caravane , ou basse-cour.

Pencerahan, crystal clear vapour and powdery resin, a heavenly smell, nothing to take nothing to add to it. This is something one always hopes from an oil but rarely gets. Like smelling some crazy flowers that have only one chance to attract whatever insects could pollinate them and a whirl of fantasy berries, resin, and more resin, no wood at all. Wild strawberries and raspberries, pomegranates producing vaporous and cooling incense, narcissus exuding resin. And it doesn't stop doing that, releasing vaporous stream. Makes me want to forget words and just enjoy. and then it gets a little green fresh, like smelling fresh roses with leaves still on them, or accidentally discovering unknown small impossibly fragrant flowers. This oil is complex and yet at times deceivingly simple, faint lilac-likeness during short inhalations, later moss made of petals, temperament of kewda, presence of nature, softest peppery. I could continue listing what it reminds me of, but it still wouldn't explain what I'm smelling.
The scope of fragrance somehow expands in high quality oils, there are high and deep notes not usually present in oud. That elusive ethereally transporting vaporous note in the opening, only exceptional oils seem to possess, and I don't mind calling it kinam. In short, your best.

Oh how lucky the one that can manage to save a drop to mature, as, it is, an everyday oil. When the dry down hits is where I'm finding the scent of fresh super king chips, the scent of the wood as gentle heat is first applied, marvelous! Smelling my arm is bliss but, the gentle teasing scents I keep catching in the wafts as I move about my house are, unreal and, not to be missed. I really could go on and on as its my favorite oil that Agaraura has ever made! I thought about pulling back a bit on this review but, after 4 days of wearing the exp., remains the same.
