When it comes to Chinese and
Japanese incenses, the agarwood + sandalwood combo is a
match made in heaven. But if you've tried blending
sandalwood and oud oils together, you
already know that the result is usually an unpleasant medley
of jarring scent notes.
Not so with Jinkoh To Byakudan.
They say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
And so the very same formula as the previous versions was
used.
The first few iterations of JtB were great, but we've come a
long way since then.
This iteration contains groundbreaking ULTRA royal grade
Myanma and royal grade Laotian oud oils.
Loaded with true-to-the-wood oud oils from these two
countries, coupled with a massively opulent aged Mysore
sandalwood oil, the result is truer to the incense
experience than ever before.
The opening of Jinkoh To Byakudan displays a brilliant
ethereal oudiness. The oud oils were fused together
meticulously to try to achieve the "scent neutral" quality
of Kyara. The bright and clean precious Kyara-like halo hums
over a deeper woodier resinous oud, and impressively shines
all the way to the drydown. The sandalwood is not far
behind. The Mysore sandalwood oil purrs alongside the oud
adding a creaminess to the otherwise-rugged woodiness of the
ouds.
If you are a fan of the Monkoh style of heating agarwood or
granulated incense, you will be delighted to find that the
delicate vanillic-sweetness of agarwood that this style of
heating preserves is present in this oil as well - an aspect
of agarwood that is absent when using other heating methods.
Many of our earlier Japanese-inspired attars contained
various traditional spices and herbs used in the Japanese
tradition, and those ingredients defined the characters of
the oils.
Jinkoh To Byakudan, on the other hand, focuses on oud and
sandalwood almost exclusively. The spices used in this blend
work subtly in the background, and are only there to exalt
the oud and sandalwood.
The end result: an ultra refined attar that wonderfully
mimics high end Japanese Agarwood-Sandalwood incenses.
You have to try it to believe it.
It is a masterpiece. I don't
know how you did it but I have been searching for this
scent my whole adult life! How in the world did you create
this scent??!?!?!?!
It is killer!!!!! It is either a work of genius or a one
in a million happy accident.

You have captured that elusive kyara note for sure.
Trully smells like super elite, mega-pricey Japanese
agarwood incense. Really casts a spell. Thank
you again Taha, another precious and wonderful experience.

Jinkoh in Byakudan is delicious, superb blend, everything
is bright golden sparkling gold, the heart is a floral
fruity balance, with a superb golden amber notes.

I don't know if this is the best sandalwood I've ever
smelled or the best oud I've ever smelled - or both. I've
smelled the combination of oud and sandalwood before but
never like this. This is a marriage, a celebration of
harmony as two beautiful spirits come together, as sacred
as the convergence of two rivers. There is no discord
between the two, only an embrace.

I just got my jinkoh to byakadan sample yesterday; I love
it. In fact so much that I ordered a bottle just a
moment ago. You are doing an amazing service for people.
It may not be charity or saving lives but for me you bring
something that I otherwise might never have experienced.
It's a spiritual stimulant.

Sometimes burning incense makes me cough, and I have
trouble getting beyond the heavy smoke in order to focus
on the ingredients. Those things discourage me from
burning as often as I’d like, so this oil is real pleasure
for me, Taha. It’s not a substitute for the incense, but
it’s amazing how close you’ve come to capturing the
essence of some of my favorite sticks. Have you
thought about sending it to some of the incense
shops? I really think it would be a big hit!
