Kyoryoku is Bhamo's
sister batch, not only from the same region but in fact the
very same harvest.
And although Bhamo's raw
material was all-out royal level, the wood for
Kyoryoku (the two bags on the left) was not that far behind
(solid high, bordering royal level).
With nearly the same scent profile and 🧠⚡️ effect as Bhamo,
Kyoryoku is a no-brainer – especially for the price.
Scent-wise, Kyoryoku possesses practically the same profile.
Salient notes of herbs, spices, tea, and flowers.
But the herbs are more herbacious and there is a distinct
addition of wildflower honey.
The mind buzz was undoubtedly the most prominent feature in
Bhamo – just read the reviews. So how does Kyoryoku compare?
Intensity-wise, Kyoryoku is less electrifying but
rather carries a heavier punch. Also, the place where it
hits the brain is the same but for those who got overwhelmed
by Bhamo's 1000V zap, the good news is that Kyoryoku's hit
is smoother. We'll call it a 750V zap.
In short, if Bhamo was out of reach for you due to its cost
(or if you want a second bottle of a not-so-lite 'Bhamo
Lite' for more regular wear), Kyoryoku is the perfect oil
for allowing you to experience one of the most beautiful
(and unique!) oud profiles out there.
Best of all, the wood grade was well above the
minimum threshold to qualify it as 'mind medicine' oud –
Agar Aura's forte.
Bang for buck? You need not look further.
Kyoryoku is amazing. Herbal
and honey all the way through. It's a very tranquil oil,
and I can see myself coming home and sitting down to a
swipe of this after a hard day's work.

For top notes I got a tangy, spicy, soapy scent. I the
middle I got bitter kyara scent. For base I got a lot of
sweet cinnamon mixed with wood. It was an extremely
pleasant oil with a lingering scent. The dry down was
intoxicating. Very nice!

both oils amazing in their own rights. tbh if i didn't
know bhamo existed, i would think kyoryoku is royal level.
Has an amazing scent and no lack in buzz department.

I tried Kyoryoku and it remind me of Koh Chang with the
backbone of Bhamo.

Golden color, moderate viscosity; like light honey.
Smell: to my nose it opens with fruit on a bed of camphor.
Begins with a melon+green fuzzy sweet+slightly citrus hum
on a bed of cinnamon heat
Then anise-dusted-marshmallow.
I see it as a sweeter (citrus, not kumquat, but w/melon
and crystalline florals), more kaleidoscopic (back and
forth upon the senses w/fruits v. florals [light a bright
jasmine w/some fresh, vegetal notes]), more nuanced
version of Koh Chang (in its Indo-Chinese [so-called] DNA
of tart-to-[not quite] bitter notes, and gentle medicinal
quality), with peppery, slightly musky-but-sweet drydown.

Highly perfume-y and resinous.
