Wild Thai oil Naphung from Yusa Aromatics. I find this Opens with a really interesting mix of notes, it is hard to decipher what they are which I like, there is a silky smoothness with a lovely piercing note punching through it. I get this great raw animalic that seems to fade in and out of the picture, I feel like I am in a tree house deep in the jungle with the smell of sweet fruits, florals, animals, Green notes and rich woods permeating the air. Some leather and tea notes starts to arrive in the background. The dry down I get a slightly minty leaf, sweet resinous oud. A very nice oil!

Enjoying sime cambodi qadeem on my wrist at the moment. I posted a detailed reaction a while ago. It’s smelling a little bit different to me today than last time because this is just a residue in one of the plastic Eppendorf tubes and has had a lot of exposure to air and
This time the smell is a little less tart, more mellow warm fuzzy and woody. The oil is not one of the pure candy crassnas - it has some ferment notes but not the cheesy kind. I feel the base notes are a little more emphasized after the exposure to air, which is probably to be expected.
This is a nice crassna that reminds me of one of Ajmal’s pricier ouds.

HabzOud's Al Hareer, Sulaym's Purple Malay and Sulaym's No. 1, needed something to help decompress from a long day at work, so I went with all three!
They're very different oils, but wearing them together offers the ability to, not only smell them together but to sniff them in different orders, which as strange as it sounds, allows different aspects of the oils to come through.

RoyalBengalOuds Wild Oud from Thailand / Chanthaburi - 2014 distillation @Royalbengalouds
Sweet berry and dried plum almost molasses like smell, slightly wood/resin/menthol in the background. I love this oud and can wear it anywhere. It doesn't have any fermented/animalic/barnyard notes to it.

Aceh Green by Maunamoku, got a small (free) sample from @Athsmos, thank you brother!!!
Beautiful traditional oud from Maunamoku here (I only have his Deadwood Hirta and that is new gen, which I love) it starts off with (resinous note too*) a very strange scent I am not used to in ouds (since I dont have a lot of experience, collection is still quite small) it was an oudy, herbal, fresh, clean wet jungle smell with a scent of greenery all around, with hints of creaminess, that dissipates after the top notes though, sadly, as I am a huge fan of creamy agarwood and ouds. It transitions into a super citrusy and camphor mothball dance, that is quite sweet, but not cloying, just a nice gentle sweetness. A very nice Indonesian oud, from Aceh region. Some fizziness as well, also what I can only describe as a "honey" note. Lovely oil, and very affordable for a full bottle when I looked on the website.
@Maunamoku you did well here, and I think everyone should try this!!!
EDIT: Ahh, I understand what Sam was saying to me, I do smell a cola note in this too!!! It is also got a very fizzy cola finish to this oil, as well as a spring water breeze type effect, as well as a creamy "nuttiness" to it. Longevity isn't that long, but the experience is fantastic.

Tigerwood royale by ensar oud
A bench mark in malasian oils.
Tigerwood 1995 was the oil which made me fall in love with malaysian oils tiger wood royale is more refined version of that.
Ensar is magician when it comes to oud he is the person who knows alchemy of ouds he knows how and what to offer and most importantly how to treat oils and than present to his customers whatever he do how he age or treat or keep his oils some of his oud speaks volumes its very rare to get any malaysian like this one the lasting power strength potency just outclass.
Tigerwood royale is dark berries diped in musk tobaco leather barn with fumes of borneo such a powerful oil it is .
Medicinal properties of this oil will keep you sniffing your wrist and wearing it again and again.

Still loving this Sri Lankan oil after all these years. Only wish I’d bought another bottle. Was a great deal that only lasted a few days after they released it. I love the dry character of the wood presented. Sun-soaked

Today it is a Wild Vietnamese oud I got from Kareem from PureOudh. It is very, very nice. Notes start off with a nice sticky golden resin hue with a honey note with camphor but not much mintiness, although there is some sort of mintiness after around 10-15mins after applying then 5mins later it turns into a nice fruity scent with a real focus on a orange note, and other fruity "nectarines". So far it is such a pleasant oud I was hesitant of using it, I have barely any left. Update: there is some kinamic notes like there was in the beginning, at the beginning it was floral and honey sweetness in a kinamic way, now there is a nice, slight and soft mintiness. Lovely oud... fascinating.
Lovely oud, by PureOud!!!

I am working my way back through samples that I have received from various people to try to see how things smell now that some time has passed. I think you all know how one’s impression of an oud can change with time, due to personal changes, or due to maturation of the oil.
I just dug up that Mystery Oud Al Hind sent out. Remember that one?
Holy crap! The effects of time on the small sample I have are pretty striking. Or my sense of smell has become more sophisticated. This is really at an interesting point in its maturation - when it first arrived, the top notes were much more intense (almost solvent like) than I’m used to smelling. It was kind of hard to process, almost like staring into light that is too bright to really see the details of what’s behind. At this point, things have settled and rounded and melded a tad (or at least that’s how I interpret it).
This is a fascinating oil - very wild tangy, resinous, green, with elements of frankincense and zdravetz. There are many different layers to be perceived in its opening which is really quite striking. I’m shocked just because it is so transformed by the small amount of elapsed time.
I have no idea how to predict which oils will develop wonderfully over time but the effects of time on some of the small batch distillations are not to be underestimated. Some of these oils are going to be really surprising in a decade.

They were couple of oils I offered as a blind test. (1) Sinking grade Malay and (2) North Sumtra. I think you’re talking about the former one. They were quiet a number of people participated and It was exciting to read the reviews and the guesses.

Wearing some Jinkoh store emperor Maluku. Top oil. Is gryinops distillation. Shapeshifting between Sri Lanka and Borneo profiles, constantly evolving and developing on skin.
Enjoying with a gong fu session of a sheng puer. Lao manE from 2019
And a stick of seijudu shiragiku ( white chrysanthemum)
Prefect way to start this east coast snow day 😍
The tea liquor and the Maluku almost have same exact color 🥹

The vapours streaming off my wrist are giving me a blissful mind buzz. Gonna rummage around and find a good white tea to pair it with 🫖
