and smelling like a farm is a bad thing??To me, the soaked Bandarnban oil is far "barnier" than Aasifah
I've worn both at night over this past week - both excellent oils, but Aasifah edges it for me. I let a friend smell it a while ago and she absolutely hated it "ewww it smells like a farm"
Al rubaie
Hands down one of the most horizontally and vertically complex oils ever. This evening even more complex than Kinam Rouge. Total shape shifter.

@Al Shareef Oudh if you can let go of a tiny bit more of this oil, I would love to have it. Pls dm or email me.
What a marvelous oil.
Al Ruba’ie may not be able to be replicated in it’s entirety, but the brains behind the distillation could certainly make a similar oil.......
“Al Ruba’ie Revamp”
Curt you are tempting me!
Al Ruba'ie is definitely on a different level, a sequel would be wonderful!
I layered Tigerwood95 with Zachariyya today. Amazing!Tigerwood 95 layered with Habib's Al Harara.
Beautiful MashAllah
Oud Yunan by IO
Oud Assam by RBO
Oud Malay (Private Distiller)
Aroha by EO
All are wild Agarwood oils. Oud Assam has snubbed the rest of oils, or better say it touched the victory line a second before the rest of oils. Oud Malay is so smooth and balanced that I always found in Malay wild Oud oils. Aroha is as usual what it is famous for- more smoke, less Oud. Oud Yunan is a newly released oil, but it is well cured. It is a beautiful addition in non-Hindi Oud oils.
It is really an ordeal to grasp the niceties of all oils at the same time. When the olfactory is caressed by Malay wafts, that are having the other nuances as well, it seems to be wearing a perfect blend. But Assam is always there to lead the others. It would have been rather balanced if I had worn one, either Aroha or Assam.
Polar opposites indeed. The way I apply.... With a toothpick i spread a drop on my skin. Then i take another oil and do the same. But i overlap them just 20%. So that the rest retain their characteristics. Then i study how they perform. The mix was pleasant today.A combination of polar opposites but if it works, it works!
Totally agreeOud Ceylon: What a blessing Ceylon Oud is!
