Greetings fellow Ouddicts.
New member here. Apologies in advance if I overstep some rules as I get situated here and apologies if this question has been asked before. Recently started my oud journey in earnest, but almost immediately got burnt whilst on a trip to Malaysia. Got sold heavily...

My journey to oud stemmed from mainstream fragrances. Though my taste has now been more oud oriented, I really prefer the spray format over oud swipes. I also prefer the projection that alcohol based fragrances allow for. What I don’t appreciate however, are the synthetic ingredients. I also...
Assalamualaikum,
Curious to hear informed opinions on the use of ultrasonic water baths in perfumery, particularly within natural compositions.
Ultrasonic processing is often discussed for:
Accelerating maceration
Improving dispersion of heavy materials
Assisting tincture extraction...

Hello everyone!
I have been studying perfumery for about 10 years now and im currently working on a project that is a couple years in the making, creating a perfume inspired by the birthplace of perfumery Ancient Egypt!
I have soured all of the ingredients i need, except im having...
Hi all.
If you could have a bespoke attar, what would you want? Like, something that brings back memories, include notes, ouds, thoughts, purposes, etc.
I'll start.
I'd want something ethereal: like blue lotus, a Vietnamese oud dose, a dash of spicy Edward rose, brown ambergris, a dry woody...
I'm working on a small batch of attar and would love to hear your thoughts on blending directions, layering tips, or proportions using the following rare naturals from my collection:
vintage Mysore sandalwood oil
Ambergris tincture (7.5%, aged 1.5 yrs in pure ethanol)
Deer musk macerated in...

Carrot Seed EO
Caradamon CO2
Pepper, Black EO...
Hello,
Does anyone have any recommendations for perfumes of houses under the Vivace or Sealed Essence brands?
I’m close to pulling the trigger on some perfumes and any feedback would be much appreciated.
Aroha Kyaku by Ensar Oud
I love the packaging, speed by which it was delivered, and communication outreach by owners/vendors.
That said. It has a potent, heavy smoky and leather smell. It smells just like “Jurak” جراك . Which is a type of heavy hubbly bubbly smoked here in Saudi - I used to...
A higher-level perfume we think this community will appreciate!
Primarily Ambergris and Orris butter, at high volume, with only a few other micro notes to make it sparkle. More than one year in production.
INVOCATION is a captivating and richly pheromonal feminine perfume that exudes pure...
I would like to share that I have made my first perfume with not only high quality ingredients but everything that exists in my collection. Not only this perfume but my whole oud journey would never be complete without my brother/friend/Guide and last but not least my favorite Artisan @mesOUD...
So, awhile ago I seen this video by KyaraZen: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvy0vC8IH9n/ and I have TONS (over 300g) of sandalwood powder, good quality too, Mysore Sandalwood powder, and a ton of sandalwood oil I can use for just the perfumes. Now I have plastic long thin bottles instead of a...
Why the poll?
Curious to hear about the preferences of my fellow ouddicts. Whether you guys prefer 100% natural, the mostly synthetic stuff from designer and niche houses or a combination of natural and synthetic that seems most common with artisan houses. Feel free to share any...
