Yes agreed on all points. I was thinking of offering a bottle of oud from Al Hashimi or Kinana as a prize.

I think for the name, that you want it to be a feature under the luxarti umbrella, rather than another name.
e.g. if you name it 'Oud Dudes', and folks talk about it, they'll look for ouddudes.com or otherwise, but its just the Luxarti Directory, or the Luxarti Source, or Luxarti Library, elevate the luxarti name, and this is just part of it, much like the desire for ouddict to be more associated with luxarti. (And just 'Library' in site header or whatever)
edit, since below says 1 entry - Luxarti Library as my contender (just Library in the header nav)

i'll give this some thought. I have to apologize because I think you communicated about this but can you outline more or less the purpose and function and specific information that the archive contains? That might help pick the ideal name/logo…
Is it like a database / catalog of all of the different individual batches that have traded hands over the years? What information is provided about each oil by default? it's good that you have a system for user feedback - I imagine that will prove challenging given some of the drama in the industry but the idea of having the descriptions from the original vendors matched with reviews of experienced users would be useful. It would be very interesting to have documented sales prices over time but that would be challenging I imagine...
update: I just realized I can access this so I've just answered some of my own questions by clicking around a little bit. One thing which I'm sure you have a plan for is that the marketing copy that shows up in the product description needs to be edited because some of the stuff that is posted in marketing copy (hype, fomo, self-congratulations) really would look unprofessional on a site like this. The first one I clicked on was somebody bragging about themselves and decrying the state of the industry for a stretch before talking about literal details of the listed oil (and it was cut off mid sentence so the full description was not there).
I feel like any verbatim marketing copy should be on a sub page, not the main information page for each oil and in quotes and clearly identified as such. This might also be one acceptable application for an LLM: feed it the long narrative paragraph and ask it for a condensed summary and then give the people visiting the site a link to the full product promotion text.

My vote would be for Luxarti scent library then. If it gets popular folks will find a shortform themselves, organic design applied 🙂
