@Tauhid Shaikh I've been looking for a good Ruh Khus for this summer. 😃 sounds like this one might be it.

will do!
yes his attars definitely have this "feel" which I'm not too keen on, overall. Many feel quite samey to me - I've only kept Fougere Noir, Encens Chypre and Nankun Kodo.
Today I am wearing Russian Musk 2 by Areej. Very pungent. Had tons of negative feedback from my colleagues - "that smells awful", "jeez, that stinks", "smells like walking into an old people's home" 🤣🤣🤣
I'm liking it though. Not very green to my nose, I was expecting more of a foresty type smell.
I've swiped Al Ghalia 1 by our very own dear @Oudamberlove - he sent me a lot of samples quite a while back (2019 or so) and I'd stashed them away along with a bunch of other samples which I pulled out last night.
Last night was his AG4 - this had a very similar smell to Turath 2 by Al Shareef - very rose-heavy - at first swipe I got a big dose of a Hindi oud which faded away to reveal a dark resinous rose, muskiness and ambergris.
The AG1 is more ambergris focused, giving it the saltiness/oceanic aspect and sandalwood is jumping out too.

My OZ still on its way ... the wait continues..
Btw, how is it different or similar with War & Peace and Agar de Noir?

I felt exactly the same with his attars despite the fact that I use very very small amount. Especially with his leather and spices based attars. Irisoir was tooooo much for me.
The only attar of SP that suits me is 'Incense'..... a really gorgeous incense laden fragrance ❤

Hello.
Different from War and Peace by a mile.
It does share some cocoa/chocolaty assets with Agar de Noir but I would not say that they are similar. I detested Agar de Noir cos I found it overly sweet. On the contrary, I find Oud Zhen to be quite balanced.
Let us know How you like it once you receive yours.

Wearing Vanilla Paradise again by Marius P aka Jinko Store.
Now that this has settled I’d go so far as to say this is THE best tobacco based Attar in the Attar world. Marius’ blending skills are rivaled only by Sultan Pasha in my opinion. The way Marius creates distinct stages and accords that work harmoniously throughout the wearing shows not only intention but immense skill.
Vanilla Paradise has a drydown that I also feel rivals the way Russian Adam uses vanilla, Oud, animalics and ambery nuances to create something dark, furry yet sweet. The drydown of Vanilla Paradise feels like a smoother Agar de Noir where hints of chocolate, spiced vanilla, musky resinous Oud and castoreum play out in a balanced and mature manner. This doesn’t feel overly sweet nor does it feel like materials slapped together. Marius just may be one of the future great perfumers in the community. I’m calling it!

Al Ghalia 2 by @Oudamberlove and his champaca attar too. AG2....not sure where this sits - definitely somewhere between #1 and #4 - not very heavy. I gave my colleague a smell and he liked it - but was a bit disgusted by the Champaca attar 🤣🤣. The champaca attar to me is rather sweet and according to Oudamberlove, it contains 4 different ouds! It's a great blend to my nose
My really likes most spray fragrances on me but really dislikes any oils/attars I've asked him to smell

Sunset in Ceylon today!
I struggle with the opening lime terpenes and Taif Rose accord but after a few short minutes that dissipated into a gorgeous rose and sandal melange. It’s not often you smell such an ethereal and uplifting Rose scent like this especially with how many sandal/Rose Attars are on the market.
Marius continues to blow me away with his skills as a perfumer. Sunset in Ceylon is a unique take on the oceanic Rose genre where you gets hints of a salty sea breeze amidst fields of fresh rose petals. The sandalwood is what really piqued my interest though. It almost imparts a Walla Patta’esque ouddy vibe to the whole composition. Marius tells me it’s from a custom Santal distillation and I find it fascinating. It’s unique enough to make you go “hmmmmm what is THAT!”

A generous amount of a Kelantan (Malaysian) oil with a Taifi rose dab. Simply blissful! IMHO, once you try genuine rose and oud combo, it is very difficult to like most oud-rose combos available in the niche and Indie worlds (let alone anything else). It also never becomes dull like the latter.
Al Ghalia 3 by @Oudamberlove - think this may be my favourite of the 4. Hits the sweet spot of not being too "heavy" while having this beautiful ethereal shine throughout. Not sure what the main note is here but it's gorgeous.
I think he posted the notes of all 4 somewhere, I'll try and track them down. Good work here - I've enjoyed wearing all 4 😁😁

Ceylon Sandal that I distilled last week, and wore today after curing that. Juxtaposed Musk Ambergris maceration in Patchouli, Sri Lankan Oud and a few drops of Frankincense (distilled on my own).
Loving this hydrodistilled Ceylon Sandal a lot. Wood logs were that much good I thought again and again not to turn them to dust and distill. And this Patchouli Musk Ambergris maceration is so complex.
I wish someday I could succeed in distilling floral oils, esp Jasmine and Plumeria. I tried thrice but all ended in hydrosol, and even that wasn't worth tasting and worth sniffing.

Wearing Rohit Jadoun's Roh Khus. It just arrived from India today. I thought Umair bhais Khas from Tabeer Oud was spectacular....this is right there next to it, same stuff if not better.... Lemony 🍋 citrus opening, no algea like smell. Very very good. It's a dynamic oil, transforms and moves through notes the whole time.
Also the price. STUPID cheap!
1 toola (12ml) for 1200 INR = 16USD!!!!!!
Yeah. That's right...
12ml for 16usd.
I also got his roh gulab, roh motia and roh kadamb. Going to try those one by one. I have to say I'm blown away. At this price my expectations were very low and I would have settled for a nice oil. This however is not a nice oil, it is giving the best roh khas I have a run for its money!
note. He doesn't ship out of India, only within. I had my package shipped to someone who then shipped to me.

My experience on the other hand was completely different. I got all the oils except for the Kadamba that he distilled recently.
I had the Shamama too. None of them went past a few sniffs from the bottle and a drop on skin.
The Ruh Khus I have is very mossy, earthy, algae like.
I forwarded all the oils to a friend.
