doecon, As a reference I just received two keris( two other received but as yet unopened, kids wife reason why) from you and the scent is what I was looking for. I had sandalwood oil but am running low.

louieblades, Thanks if I can't find the scented oil (that is safe to use, I have heard that some of the essential oils can cause rust) I will take you up on it.

I guess as a side note to this thread what are the scents used for keris? I know of sandalwood, any others? What is mistik and cendana? I am unfamiliar with the terms.

Mistik and cendana (sandlewood oil) are mixed for the "parfume". Mistik is a bit darker, so the pamor might become blurry, but the smell is better. (less sweet indeed).

My on-line research seems to imply that kenanga and ylang-ylang are one in the same. Can anyone verify this, since ylang-ylang oil is easy to find here in the States.
Doecon, can you elaborate on Mistik? I can't find any references to it. Is it an essential oil or a mix?
