RPP TAO 1: A very pleasant, fresh, and airy oil. Clean aquatic and mineral notes, and very unique. The aquatic notes are different from the aquatic notes of a Sri Lankan or Fili oil. A very uplifting scent for me, like a portable trip to the beach. It’s also the only oil I’ve ever seen from Timor, pretty cool.
EO Kelantan: I really like this one so far. To me it smells like the purified quintessence of the oriscent line. The top notes fade quite quickly and the base notes pretty much do all of the heavy lifting. It stays in its prime for many hours and the whole time I have trouble keeping my nose from my wrist. The closest thing I’ve smelled is the dry down of Kyara Ketone.
I can easily recommend both of these.

I dragged out the old “sweet trat” from pureoudh. Every time I open this up it climbs up a notch in my estimation. It’s turning out to be a really nice crassna and the funk has toned down a fair amount. I found the funk a bit distracting at first and I felt justified its low price at the time. In retrospect of course this is another oneI wish I had picked up a few more bottles of because I think it was about $69-70 per quarter tola.
If I apply a little bit of it on my collar I get these delicious sweet bright and ethereal notes for hours afterwards that remind me of Vietnamese oud, sweeter sinensis extracts, cultivated kinam. The oil itself does not smell like these… smelled straight it’s still a fruity crassna with signs of a bit more aggressive soak than was maybe called for - but the little wafts and indirect hints of scent are just what I’m looking for.

The initial sweet n sour fermented phrase might be too harsh for some, but the darker side of this cambodi makes it special

I second your point, malaysian oud oil is really unique and the cola vibe

Saturday night relaxation - a piece of Fili Fu Sen from The Oud Lab on the heater, this wood is wonderful, hence why I keep mentioning it.
I’m a sucker for sweet agarwood profiles & this red soil Fili smells like chocolate / caramel / sweet cooking spices with a very Oudy resinous core. The bottom note is a dance between dark Oud resin, candy, anise & vanilla. It boggles the mind how most people in the west can’t appreciate such beauty. The room smells like heaven.
Oud oil of the night is - Al Ruba’ie II by Al Shareef Oudh. It’s a distillation of Hindi, Chinese, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Borneo woods all enhanced by 5% Kyara oil. As much as I love single origin oils due to the snapshot of an environmental terroir, oils like Al Ruba’ie II offer a complete experience akin to wearing a perfume.
All the different oils come together cohesively, while also offering a separation of the various profiles.
I perceive it predominantly as a Hindi forward oil with decadent chocolate notes, boozy tobacco, labdanum, barn, dry fruits & sun-baked hay. Medicinal herbs & honey from the Chinese. Golden vanillic / minty / Santal of the Borneo. Red fruits, cherry, flowers from the Vietnamese & the dark green mossy jungle camphor from the Malaysian. The Kyara unifies these accords in an understated & subtle effect.
A very complex structure that flex’s the skill of the artisan,
Luxurious oud perfection, an olfactory work of art.

I am typing this on my phone as my computer won't turn on and hasn't done for 2 weeks. I despise typing on my phone, always make a ton of typos and find it super annoying to edit the mistakes so this is my heads up .
I've worn a lot since I last posted here 2 weeks ago but being on my phone isn't conductive to writing well. Not that i do, anyway ...
I received @EJayB 's new Sri Lanka oil. What a stunner! My benchmark Walla oil is Ceylone Royale by Imperial Oud and unfortunately this didn't strike me to be the same caliber until maybe 30minsnafter application . It's a bit 'rough' at the start but I can't think how to desceibe what I mean by that. - I'm fact, it was very similar to another oil that I couldn't place. But then I remembered -a wqllq oil that I got from @Ulugbek Abdumominov . Both that oil and Ed's give way to this ethereal blue note that I get when hearing high quality Sri Lanka wood and is potentially my favourite smell ever. The IO takes about 2hrs to get there, but has more finesse to thwy note,and is more appealing in the journey overall.
Ed also sent a sample of Thai berry V2 which is fantastic ! Both of these oils are very long lasting with what felt like a good scent projection.
Currently I am wearing "Asia wild" by feel oudnwhich I think is unreleased and was in a sample that Adam gotmsent out to me. This is. Fantastic.good performance on this too. But, where in Asia is it from? No idea, I'm actually struggling to pinpoint it. Perhaps it's a blend.
So there. Excuse all the typos and run on words .

So on my other hand is Trat roots by Feel Oud. Fantastic oil too - I'm not sure if I've ever tried an oil from roots, but this is very unlike what you probably rhink ofnwhwn yoi thunk of Ttat oils. Lacks the fruitiness and goes much deeper. Not in a dark resinous way that yous get with a malay oil but just ....oh, I dunno . It's good, okay? Too frustrating to type tbh

What's your application strategy here?
Do you put them all on different spots on your body? Or do you apply them sequentially throughout the day?

Swiped Silani Sultan from hamza
A while ago I had just a small sample of Pursat Qi and it’s really wonderful. I wish I had more of it.

Several swipes on my forearms, usually at different times during the day
It is really nice, although I don't think it's a must have.

Jiribam Incenze - Rising Phoenix Perfumery
The opening is massive on this. Some very light barnyard and charred wood. Spice, vanilla, cherry liqueur. Hot fudge. First time I ever smelled this I got a big whiff of leather but I’m not really getting that today.
Over time the sweetness and creaminess grows. There is a burnt caramel note in there and some conifer pokes its head out every so often over a creamy, chocolatey base. The incense notes persist all the way to the drydown. I find on all of these distillations where JK is aiming to capture incense/smokey notes that there is a core of tightly bound florals and spice that exist within that incense smell. In this oil, it persists until the last stages of the drydown.
On my first wear I got some horse hair notes as the oil started its dry-down but I’m not getting that so much today… today I see that the barnyard notes are actually really subtle in this one.
I’m always fascinated how I can get something new and sometimes downright different out of an oil each time I wear it. It’s reminding me how important it is to give them multiple wears and experience the full dry-down as opposed to just sniffing from the vial or trying them once.

I just got a sample and it's very satisfying with a snappy, green, peppery profile and smooth oud resin prickle. Absolutely zero off notes.
