Agarwood

So sometimes we'll go on a sourcing trip and we'll come back after a meeting with so many different distillers and we don't have a good contact yet.

But I'm really hoping to have a really good contact for Agarwood by the time I come back at the end of November.

So Karen is going to be teaching this series on two different Wednesdays, maybe three, but two for sure.

And she's going to be talking about guava leaf.

Yeah, time's... concept

so I actually get a bit crunchy on the literal number of days without looking at it but what I will say is that Oud who smells unbelievable by the way she just smells of Oud

sandalwood

it's like that sort of you know that super the kind of scent that is super neutral it doesn't really speak to like masculinity or femininity just like that is just great on a person that's good on a person um She explains sort of how many days it's been and you are two days out.

I've got

that, but I've got Oud as well.

I've got Oud.

I've got all of that going on.

I ain't heard of...

You ain't heard of Oud? Oud.

Come on, bruv.

Okay.

But still, you know, you've fucked off your moped, and now you've gone all pipe and slippers, and you're not wearing your fucking, uh, what's that one you love? That oud one.

Uh.

Oh, Oud Infini.

So I was thinking about this whilst I was on the toilet the other day, which is, uh, information that you probably didn't need to know.

[laughs] Amazing.

But, but, but what better place for Oud Infini to crop up?

Just, uh, number one or number two, Ben? You know.

Uh, well-

For WCYB Digital Radio, this is today's cybercrime news.

First to Hong Kong, where police arrested six people suspected of involvement in a nine-year cross-border investment scam involving Agarwood and cryptocurrency, with losses totaling approximately 14 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 1.78 million US dollars.

South China Morning Post reports that investigations began last month after authorities received 21 complaints from victims, mostly aged 52 to 82, who said they had invested in products offered by BBB Group Hong Kong since 2017.

The company allegedly promoted business opportunities through claimed international offices in locations including Malaysia, Singapore, and New York.

you do great work together.

And I hear sort of some variations of that of people thinking, you know, I want to work with so-and-so because I know they're great at Oud and I know that they love white flowers and then rose.

But to sit there and hear someone say that the personality of the person creating not just because it would be nice to work with them because they're nice people, but because they have a certain level of optimism or they have a lightness or their worldview can really help create a perfume.

I think that's just fascinating because they're creating a feeling with their fragrances and you're trying to create a feeling when you're working with them.

Come on, man.

You can't go Oud.

Yeah.

You gotta have a little light time, little, little light little fragrance.

the ones that, the ones that do the juice.

Well, like when you, you mentioned Ouds, and I was saying the American candy shops-

Yeah

... do a sideline in Ouds as well, so you can-

Really?

Oh.

If you look, there's always a shelf.

There's always a shelf.
