Smells so Oud
Habzoud - Oud Boran again. This is really good stuff. Went a bit harder this morning on the swiping as I've decided to get a bigger bottle so I'm using my sample liberally. It's actually got a decent animalic musk to it from the get go which I didn't get before. Excellent for a sweaty day mowing lawns.

UNS fine crafts (anyone remember them?) Irian Jaya - this has improved dramatically with time. Went from a "very nice lively interesting pungent fresh" irian oil to a "deep and ancient smelling resinous old indo/malay oud" over a period of about 15 years. There was some connection between UNS and Oriscent - common oils sold by both for a little while there. I believe UNS now just focuses on Islamic oriented handicrafts but not so much oils... I have to go check the site. OK I did that. I see they have a Jasmine sambac Sandalwood attar but otherwise are out of the oil biz

Brunei Kyara from Fushigi/E-Oud.
Very kinamic oil - Gasoline, resin opening, with intense mintiness, milky creaminess, spiciness, sweet, spicy, bitter at the same time playing a perfect note with the purple florals... garden greenery, gasoline after notes which smells kinda like a very nice leather smell.
Brilliant oil.

I get the same diesel & purple notes in Borneo Diesel too. Love this one.

HM Royal Maroke from Sulaym is the kind of deep and tangy maroke that makes me smile. Has the earthy mudcloth profile but that profile is not flat - it is bonded with this landscape of wild bright tangy, oily resinous, and old dark sweet wood scents. At the moment i am convinced that there is really nothing so fine as a really fine maroke. This brings the old Oud Royale to mind, and KM Super ateeq to a degree.

Wonderful super clean, floral, kynamic Borneo profile. It was initially a bit light but that was remedied by just using a bit more oil per swipe. Now it's much stronger and lasts a lot longer.
Side by side with Papua from Fushigi which is more of beast. Jungly, floral, kynamic, hard to capture in words.
To my nose oils like this capture the smell and feeling of really high quality high grade old stock woods.

Wow this Brunei Kyara even 2 hours later nearly (1hr and 50 mins) is amazingly kinamic bursting with colour, especially golden and purple right now with some green when i inhale deep with the greenery and mintness between that and purple florals and golden honey with white florals covered in honey notes, i think its been like this for probably 30mins but i was just not really recognizing it because i had some incense on lol #imstoned

Two Tripura oils for the evening.
AA Nashila
EO Oud Mostafa 2021
I love this particular Indian terroir. These two oils share that same woody backbone. Such a beautiful aroma. Dry, dusty, stern wood. Deep brown and red. Nashila goes more spicy-red, floral, hay, and honey-loaded contrasting further the dark cocoa facets in Mostafa that now feels like bitter cocoa powder in comparison. Part of me wants to source more Hindis from this region but the rational part of my brain tells me I have more than enough oils to stop pursuing further.
These Hindi oils from Tripura and the Cummingianas from Maluku(Seram especially) are among the most peculiar, beautiful, and rare oils I have had the pleasure to experience. I'd look to sample more down the road if there's ever going to be more as I heard the remaining wild wood pieces from Tripura are under lock and key while there has been no Cummingiana wood available from Maluku to distillers since forever(not that I know of).

This oil smells very settled now,
although a bit vaporous still,
berries, minerals, resin, oudiness.

Yes,for me it's the best Borneo oud oil, profile is similar like other ori (Borneo diesel etc)

It definitely shares the same Oriscent aesthetic as the other ones such as White Kinam, Borneo Diesel, and Borneo Kinam. Borneo oil for sure infused with some Brunei (supposedly sinking chunks hence its price and rever). The emphasis is on the woody facets. That ancient, soft, dusty wood aroma that I only smelled in a few oils (mostly old Oriscents), and a blue floral nuance with some creamy blueberries. Those floral-blueberry facets are prominent in the opening and then slowly give away the woody profile that lasts for the most part. It's a gorgeous oil but definitely overpriced. I'd put the other 3 Oriscent Borneos ahead of it, even Mehmet, Borneo 5000, and maybe OG Ertugrul, as far as the enjoyment factor goes. Objectively speaking, however, it is probably a top tier/top 3 Borneo oil I smelled in my journey, next to White Kinam (being number 1 as far as enjoyment factor goes and objectively speaking), and Borneo Diesel. Borneo Kinam is there too, maybe tying it with Kyara de Kalbar on the 3rd spot.

@mesOUD - Meleka
@Faizal_p - Assam, Zero Barn ‘23
Morning swipe of one of my favorite oils for a stressful day. Meleka has that murky ocean brine smell that’s so deeply bitter that it commands your attention when smelling. Something I like to put on when I expect a stressful day. Putting your wrist up to your nose with these dense oil has a way of silencing the outside world, even for just a second. Accompanying the bitterness is a sprinkling of orange zest and TCM herbs.
At night I applied a beautiful Assam oil from brother Faizal. Very much a squishy leather and bitter chocolate Hindi. Bit of hay and a drydown of a lovely resinous chunk of Hindi on the tail end of its subitism journey. Nice stuff!
