Gram-for-gram, this is the highest grade batch of 'Special K' agarwood I have ever distilled. Yes, even higher (by roughly 40%) than even the mind-boggling Pailin Special K, which was distilled in the boiler next to this one's.

It is hard enough to track down high quality, incense-grade, wild Thai agarwood. Collecting enough to distill is even trickier. Getting your hands on a 'Special K' batch of Thai wood... you just found the needle in the haystack.

('Special K' refers to batches of agarwood that smell mindbogglingly close to the king of all agarwood: kinam / kyara)

Whereas Thailand has for the most part become the most frowned-upon agarwood country in advanced oud lovers' circles, what many folks fail to realize is that its because Thai oud is generally (99.99% of the time) synonymous with plantation oud.
Wild Thai wood is very rare. Wild Thai oils, even rarer.

Time to turn that frown into an ear-to-ear grin -

Explosively powerful from opening notes to drydown, Prachin Special K is pure mind medicine. No fruits. No flowers. No barnyard, acetone, leather, or any other funny business. Amazingly, what Prachin Special K smells like is.. oud-flavored kinam.
Allow me to elaborate.

All kinams have certain 'markers'. Country markers, species markers (harder to learn), region/terrain and oleoresin-formation markers (hardest).
High grade Vietnamese kinam / kyara has the least markers, making it the most balanced.

As for Special K oils, its the same idea: our Khmer Special K smelled like Cambodian-flavored kinam. Malay Special K smelled like Malaysian-flavored kinam. And so on.
Prachin Special K is an unusual case where... it smells like "universally oud" flavored kinam. Imagine the aroma of Cambodian, Indian, Malaysian, Vietnamese and every other oud you've ever smelled. You know its oud, and not rose or sandalwood or some other essential oil.
What is that common denominator? Whatever it is, imagine kinam of that flavor.

And that, gentle ladies and men, is Prachin Special K.
