Ensar Oud, “Olde Hind”.

Warm spices, smooth, almost syrupy olfactory texture. Ensar’s tastes are evident, his aesthetic and style are expressed clearly. Endlessly comforting, soft and gentle, yet strong and masculine.

I wish he were active on this forum so that we could discuss more about his artistic process. The culture of oud, and art in general, benefits so much when artists work collectively, like seen here on Ouddict, or have a shared discourse with each other.

I own this attar and I like it more than the perfume form. There’s a overload of spices in the perfume which I don’t like.
 
Tambour by AbdesSalaam Attar (La via del profumo / naturalnicheperfume) - I have been experimenting with AbdesSalaam's products for close to a year now. I truly enjoy his style of blending. Tambour is only made up of rose and patchouli. Had I not read this in the description, I would've thought there are more ingredients in there. I find this inspiring since it shows you can make something amazing with very few good ingredients and getting the right ratio. My 5mL perfume bottle is almost finished.
 
Musc 1960 - @Al Hashimi (AKA Ghallia)

I have questions... for starters, how can something smell so good? And, more importantly, how can something make me feel so good?

I won't even bore anyone with notes. This is opulence. Regality. Apotheosis. Wearing this makes me feel equal to the gods.

Sorry, I did not see your comment until now as I am logged in as @Ouddict most of the time and in all honesty, I neglect this forum when it comes to promoting Al Hashimi as I am so busy running things and dealing with issues. However, this is about to change as we have a small team earmarked to run the Al Hashimi account on Ouddict, but even getting around to organising them is an issue at present due to a lack of time.

As to your question about the Musc 1960, the answer is simple. How can something feel so good and make you feel so good? I made it. That's why. 😅
 
Jade Blaze - @SULAYM earlier this afternoon.

I believe this is an unreleased attar, because I can't find any information on it. A sample was kindly included in an order not too long ago.

All I can say, is if you like Sulaym's perfumery you'll love it. I've tried maybe a half dozen of their attars now, and there's a thread of DNA that runs through them all. Quality, sophistication, and elegance.

Florals, musk, oud, and I think I picked up a touch of civet. It was both green and warm like the name suggests. Was really nice on this cool and humid spring afternoon.

Now I'm wearing their Firdaus, and once again I'm in awe at the beauty. This is peak perfumery.
 
I'm just blown away by "Begum" from @mesOUD. In fact I just opened the tops of every sample of material I have that he distilled and I just went from bottle to bottle to try to tune into the variations and the signature style of his ouds. I think there is a clear signature in the sense of every one of these oils having that robust full throaty presence. They are also transforming magnificently… I don't have many materials that started out this nice that I've had a chance to watch age.

but back to the Begum. This stuff is transformative… Sends my mind off into a little daydream. first of all the oud is killer. Just bad ass Indian oud without any question. The Rose is nice and tangy and present... and I'm getting some weird kind of tropical floral resonance - has me wondering if I have some residual sambac somewhere on my skin but I don't think I do. It seems like maybe it's a play between the creamy Hindi oud and some facet of the Rose.

Beautiful beautiful stuff that is immediately fascinating to the olfactory system at least as I see it. I wouldn't change one thing about this (though I would love to smell that oud on its own, because it smells like a good one)

This BEGUM was not a commercial distillation,it was an experimental and nice Hindi&Rose codistillation and was a gift to those who supported mesOUD from first day.
A new batch of it is in soaking process,but name will be different,as coming distillation’s wood quality is more better than BEGUM.
And the jasmine like notes are totally from oud

After reading the sumptuous review posted by @Mr.P I am very much interested in the second version of Begum. Are you at the liberty to disclose the approximate launch date, @mesOUD ?

Melati Gaharu Attar by @hunayn

First test was in the 1st week of Jan. The whole blend smelled mostly of indolic white flower melange on the oud base. Beautiful but I realized that I needed to revisit to understand better.

Second full wear today: Opened with the most beautiful photorealistic 'ripe banana served on a banana leaf' accord. Absolutely wasn't expecting that! The flowers are playing 'the maximalist chic lady' role today. The spicy oud is like their bodyguard, won't ever leave their side. I cannot pick out each oud mostly because I am not very well versed in identifying ouds but my tropical nose can feel the presence of Ruh Khus and black tea immediately. Beautiful work @hunayn
