This
was the raw material for distilling Royal Myanma,
from Tuanggyi, Shan State.
Fully royal-grade oil, or per Agar Aura vernacular it's what
we call "ultra royal". In my opinion, it is impossible to
distill a Myanma oil of higher grade and quality than this.
To my delight, a lot of folks got curious enough to finally
try a fully royal-grade oud oil for the first time, Myitkyina
4K. As expected, minds were blown and tongues
were tied.
So what happens when you jump up one more grade-level for
the raw material?
For over a year many, including myself, have attempted to
try to wrap our heads around it's aroma, and failed. Don't
know what everyone's on about, talking about "mind buzz"?
Try this oil, and see if your brain can function long enough
to grasp it's aroma. From talking about vibrations, to
sensations, and imagery, the bulk of feedback has been not
about the scent, but what it does to the mind.
My own attempt at the scent breakdown:
Narcotic steely-blue-purple floral twang, bubbling resin,
ancient agarwood petrichor, thickened cola concentrate,
Japanese top shelf agarwood-soliflore incense. In no
particular order.
The scent whole is greater than the parts.
The mind buzz is greater than the scent.
Many Myanma oils came and went, Royal Myanma was distilled
far before all of them, and yet didn't get released. I had
hoped I'd "crack the code" and be able to put together a
worthy writeup.
I couldn't.
In a scale 1-10 I 'll give to
VSK a 9,5...for Royal Myanma...well difficult to
describe...maybe ....even more 😃😃😃😃.

Hi Taha! Oh my word! I'm blown away!!!
I just wanted to say that I'm lost for words when it comes
to Royal Myanma! It's 100x stronger compared to Blue Malay
I felt literally 'high'

I just have to say I’ve never experienced anything
remotely like it.
It buzzed my brain open. My lady said: now myanma gold
smells totally flat, nice but flat and Myitkyina starts to
fill in the spaces but RM is laser focused. I had to sit
down because my eyes felt all fuzzy.
I literally had to sit down. I literally didn’t know Oud
could capture that Japanese incense quality that somewhere
a mile away the most beautiful scent is lingering and I’ll
never know exactly what it is. The scent of a fond memory
from another life.
Just beautiful.

Royal Myanma is insane man. It’s got that bitter,
aromatic, sharp clove/cinnamon spice like Mahkota but
whereas in Mahkota that profile is out front and more
flinty and cooling, in Royal Myanma it’s dialed back a
touch and a tad softer with much more stone fruit and
tobacco sweetness making it have even more depth and
roundness than Mahkota. And I love Mahkota.

It is BY far the most mind-altering oil I own. It IS
POTENT. And finally now the scent is starting to move into
Heavenly territory. You weren’t wrong, it may be creeping
into that level which only a few oils I’ve sampled are
in.... Ensars KLTD, NTLTD, your Royal Maluku, Royal
Malaya, Royal Malinau, Pailin SK.... mind buzz tops ALL of
them....scent is coming around 3rd finally.!

Royal myanma 💥🧠🥝🌪🪵💦😱

Royal Myanma seems to be most balanced of the four with
mentol medicinal note laid on reddish dry leaves of
slightly suede surface. It's not shouting but it doesn't
have to. Its whisper gives impression of Genghis
Khan's tent with fine carpets, filled with low
light, refreshing evening breeze from outside mixed with
subtle and delicate burning incense.

Subhanallah Subhanallah Subhanallah. Hands down,
a pinnacle of Burmese oil.

What do I perceive in Royal Myanma right after
application? A certain “smell” (for lack of better term) -
nothing I can yet describe, I simply have no adequate
referents and perhaps it is simply too
complex for me to disentangle. What I am visualizing
is a ball of tightly woven scent strings vibrating
rapidly. Deep inhales send numbing bolts up my cranium and
I notice my facial muscles relaxing. Fuse blown. I realize
as I write this that I feel more “embodied”, more
present.
30 to 45 minutes after application, with my nose at an
arms-length away from my wrists, I start to sense this
ball unfurling slowly, slowly. One moment I am getting
cooling blue freshness, the next moment I get flecks of
purple-red sweetness, the next moment cola soda (my wife -
who for the record is generally ambivalent about oud with
the exception of Royal Malinau - picked up on the soda
facet immediately and even likened it to Dr. Pepper soda,
with their 23 flavors haha). The next moment I sense
kyara - a purple, chalky powderiness that rises upwards
and is of such depth...such depth...that words fail.
I am moved. I will have to send updates later on what I
observe as the hours roll on.
What completely blows my mind is that this is just the
beginning of the journey. Based on my experience
ever-fulfilling relationship with Royal Malinau and Bhamo,
I know to expect even greater revelations once as I
continue to wrap my head around Royal Myanma.

Royal Myanma might be 2x more expensive, but it's in a
league of its own! It's my first encounter with Oud from
Myanmar. The biggest question I have now: where do I from
here? 😁
By the way, if someone else buys it, make sure to pack in
"directions for use": sit down when inhaling otherwise you
might get weak knees and tip over! 😀 I had to
lean against the wall!

Will need to time to share my note break down and
experience. Right now I'm just in awe of this oil and just
enjoying this ride without going into over critical and
analyzing mode.
