So this oil is a legend? If so that's a really good price, people will buy. I mean it's definitely a good technique. @Ouddict where are you going to meet him? Is this at kinamfest?I used to give him the benefit of the doubt but not anymore. I have seen way too many instances of behavior like this. Too many stories from other customers and vendors of his poor behavior. The sad part is he will continue this as long as people keep buying from him. I don't care how good his oils are, I just don't find any blessing in them. I used to regret selling the classic Oriscent oils I used to have. I don't have that regret anymore. My only regret is ever giving him any of my money.

There is no prearranged meeting. But I know where he will be.

I am truly disturbed by this behavior of his. This is totally uncalled for and unacceptable.
I have personally read where he says that, he doesn’t come on this website. I am sorry many of us weren’t born yesterday. If he doesn’t come here and check how would he be releasing a oil every week or every other week.
There is much more to say but I will stop here. Open your eyes people before you regret but will be thrown aside like a piece of trash.
I could just be throwing myself on the rail tracks by saying this as it became quite evident to me very early on that there is no love lost here for Ensar with a few respected forum members having very strong feeling towards him and words to boot which may indeed be justified to some extent but in this instance just wanted to point out that some one else could simply have informed him about it, to give him the benefit of the doubt even if for some there is no inclination to do so.
How can an oil be legend? Who decide? What are the creteria?
Customers...

What I observed when an oil is sold, and no more available is declared legend.How can an oil be legend?
In fact, it is not decided, but declared, and declared by the vendor. This is again something else that generally in private legends are sold/ offered by the vendors.Who decide?
As per artisanal Oud vendors, and Oud forum terminology or jargon, legend is a sold oil. This is the only criterion as per the market. Here the oil's qualitative aspect is hundred per cent subjective, not even 99.99 per cent. So, I haven't found any other criterion.What are the creteria?
All high quality oils will be pricey. Ensar charges the highest premium. While you may find comparable oils for cheaper elsewhere, remember that no two oils will be identical. So some will be willing to pay the premium price just for that. Others will settle on cheaper (in price) oils that resemble such oils in their smell and experience.Are Ensar's "Oud Legends" just overpriced nonsense? Or are they of such a quality that it is right to command that kind of price range? I am hesitant to try those oils since they come at such a steep cost.
Thanks. I am not familiar with the higher end offerings of Oud so it's definitely nice to hear that. Where can I find a guide or something like that for the differences in oud oils with respect to region?All high quality oils will be pricey. Ensar charges the highest premium.

Eg: white kinam by Ensar, Royal Malinau by Taha and Malinau Qi(?) By Marius are all made of wood from the same area. They all have different price tags. Everyone has their own preference as to which of these is the best. And based on that, they will loosen their wallets as well. PS: there are other oils from this very region selling for much cheaper as well.
