Been working on a small Ghaliya build and thought I’d share where it’s at right now.
Composition:
1g Nepalese musk grains
1g pure white ambergris
8g Non-Soak Karbi Anglong oud (Assam, India)
Process:
I started by breaking everything down using a stone mortar and marble pestle in hindsight...
I am having a tough time finding Yunnan musk (Moschus Fuscus). The goal is to find a non-animalic musk that's floral.
Any help or recommendation is truly appreciated!
Hey guys ,
Hope you are doing well,
I have gotten my hands on some musk grains about 0.5 g and wanted to know where could i purchase good grade Sandalwood oil for maceration (Middle East preffered )
If you could provide me with the brand and a rough price range.
If i should mix the musk...
It It is often necessary to answer this question in private, with the post a little late
So, how to store a musk pod:
1. If you have dried it completely and you cannot push through the skin with your finger, the walls of the pod are quite hard, this means that all the moisture has left the pod...
After years of working with musk among various other ingredients, I've arrived at the realisation that musk truly stands in a class by itself. Its unique profile, the way it interacts with other oils, and its profound effect on both the mind and body set it apart. It's akin to a profound...
Dear fellow respected Ouddicts,
First and foremost glad tidings to all, hope everyone is having an amazing day!
Feels good to do my first post😁
I am lucky enough to have bought a gram of Kashmiri musk from Pakistan. Originally my man in Karachi told me he would be able to get Nepalese Musk...

Any tips, tricks and pointers would be helpful and much appreciated
From what I have understood so far is that I need 10% or 20% musk in either sandalwood or oud. Then leave for about a...
In general, only a few methods of drying Siberian and Mongolian musk pods are common.
The first and most common method is deeply rooted in the past centuries and has been preserved to this day, this is the most correct method, it is actively used by hunters in Siberia.
A frame of sticks (most...
That is how tiny a 8g Mongolian Musk Pod look. And it smells amazing. It's semi dry, softer than they appear in the picture. The juices are oozing out.
I also ordered the Siberian Musk grains to compare it with some that I have.
I ordered the Shilajit, yet to try.
The Musk Pod is all I have...
How much the skin weighs in the pod and how much the grains weigh?
For clarity, I took 2 completely different pods of 16 and 25 grams.
Pod 16.3 grams shows us that inside the grain is 11.6 grams and 4.7 is the skin.
This means that 28% of the pod contains skin.
Pod 25.8 grams shows us...
Hey there Ouddicts:
Hope everyone is safe and well (and fragrant) during this quarantine. Strange times, but great times to get acquainted or reacquainted with the scented, sensual fragrances and materials we all love. I've spent more time perfuming myself the last two weeks than ever. It's a...
