Today, at the Zenith and during the hottest hours of the day, a mixture of pink Sultan Qaboos and Meroke.
The rose gives freshness to this oil with a dark and captivating heart.
Then very quickly, as the freshness gives way to a slightly smoky and barely green Meroke heart.
I wonder if they used Oud Royal for this blend because the drydown really resembles it.
I would like to point out that I acquired this blend from a collector in the Gulf and I do not believe that it is the same as the one sold by Souleym, even if it must also be very beautiful.

Smells so Oud
An - Najwa - Khlong Yai This a very easy to wear oud straight out of the bottle. My first impressions were that it reminded me of Trat Sweet from MesOud mentioned above and upon going into the description page I was very happy to read that this is indeed from Trat. Alright..all this smelling and generous samples from our brothers is paying off and I'm getting my nose "in" finally. I wish I'd gotten onto this a bit sooner and bought a larger bottle as it seemd to have sold out reasonably quickly and it wasn't released all that long ago. Very nice.

Everyone talking about a barny oud so I had to apply a drop of
Sulaym - Bandarban (Bangladesh)
Deep dark cacao, spices overdose, tamarind, fruit molasses, smooth suede leather in the background with the addictive hindi golden honey sweetness we are all addicted to.
I will keep inhaling this rich aroma till I fall asleep 💤

AA - Royal Maluku
Blows me away every single time. By far the most beautiful oil I've smelled to date. When we say "Oud can smell like anything & everything , oud smells like everything but oud" Royal Maluku is a prime example.
On a side note..can't wait for Mehmet's Maluku "ANAS" , if his 30 day prediction is correct we're a day shy from halftime. Another 16 days to go !

This is what fascinates me about Oud every time and what I really enjoy. "How Oud can smell so exotic and nothing like Oud"
Enjoy!🤩

Now the question is, why are our olfactory systems so blindsided by this bottomless olfactory landscape? I feel like half of what I said he was already discussed here before but it's what's on my mind and maybe someone has another thought or two to add...
Phenomena like this I personally think can be very interesting to contemplate through the lens of evolutionarily psychology.
If you see a physical feature shared by a variety of organisms that seem to be deeply involved in their daily operations, you assume that that structure (say, a nose) represents the outcome some type of specific adaptation to the needs of survival.
Common / frequent psychological phenomena and "mental formations" can often be insightfully analyzed from the same perspective. Let's say that there is some universality to the potential for humans to become entranced by the fragrance of agarwood. What ancestral survival instinct or mechanism is this tapping into? Is it releasing oxytocin, because of the warm animal like fragrances and it resembles snuggling up to a loved one or beloved pet? Does it create a sensation of bonding like smelling the familiar smells of one's partner when in an embrace?
Or maybe it's just tapping into whatever drives us to crave fragrant foods, ripe cheeses.
it could also be tapping into an instinct to create/inhabit clean healthy environments - the smell of wood, smoke, baked goods, humans, flowers, resins, clean earth, terra cotta, petrichor, bodies of water, healthy livestock. all seem like facets of oud
The experience is so profound that I can't dismiss it as trivial

Ah what a dream (no pun intended). I’d also love to do this but probably would be forced to sleep in the spare bedroom. Hindi barn isn’t for everyone!

It certainly gives pause to contemplate often. Could it also be related to sex? I can't help but notice (see assume) that many of the current members of the forum are male? Someone please correct me if this is incorrect. The world of scent and perfume's is generally dominated and marketed towards females and yet here is a forum full of blokes getting into that very thing. Is this totally cultural? I don't think so because we are from all over. Race? I'd say it started that way but it has evolved passed it's original intent. Also with the act of sex and attracting the opposite sex we know scent plays a huge role and oud seems to tap into something masculine.

definitely the more scientific/functional explanations have their place... would also add that in islam & sufi thought, smell is considered the sense closest to the soul & closely related to the imaginal realm (i.e. in ibn al arabi's work). scent calls to the emotions & provokes vivid associations in the mind in a way that is far less literal than the other senses. if you're inclined towards/open to that kind of thing, the draw is partly because it's so soulful : )

Very nicely put. I'm a caucasan Australian. We have very little culture here and our history ain't that great. Other than what has been brought by other cultures or the original custodians, they're all unique to themselves. Because of this, I can only make guesses and try to inform myself (hence why I love oud so much) so thankyou for that little nugget of information. It has brought me one more step closer to the source.

Yesterday night swiped on some no-name cambodi oil from Ensar. Good lord this was some yummy stuff! Purple creamy resinous sweet start that turned much heavier on the barnyard funk as it sat. Will need to give this one some more time but first wearing was phenomenal!
This morning I swiped on some Xiangshui. I try to talk about this oil as little as possible so that Habz doesn’t sell out. Goddamn the bitter leather on here is haymaker heavy. For being such a pristine clear and light oil the scent is a force to be reckoned with.
Tonight I swiped on some Royal Burmese from Marius. Sparkling grape juice and berry fizzy champagne pops out the opening. Just wow! Honey jam and slight spice notes are now coming out after about an hour. Goodness…
Have been writing a bit less about the oils but my enjoyment hasn’t wavered a bit. Been in pure oud bliss recently

Had the chance to put my nose on Sultan Pasha’s Hindi Oud Nasha. It was the first time I smelled baby poo from an Oud. 🤧
