Oud of the Day

[Saudalhajri]

Ajmal Seufi
This brings back memories, it’s the scent we grew up here in the gulf, the “old oud” Hindi scent, medium barnyard on the start, dark smokey resinous and slightly rubbery with a little chocolate sweetness in the end. you can tell this is a very traditional oil. Got 3ml for the upcoming winter, and tried their ruh gulab and turkish rose oil, the gulab is a little expensive but nice, the Turkish rose is sweeter than expected and smoother.

Are they coming up for release anytime soon?

A wee dab of the old Oriscent Royal Kinam. Nice rich oud, this time i get a bitter soapy hit I get with quality oud from a number of regions - I think this soapiness is less of a specific scent and more a kind of saturation / olfactory glare effect in undiluted high quality oud. The main scent association I get in the top notes is like a toothy carrot-seed / cypriol accord with a slight sense of sour or tart; this oil leans in the topnote direction, with lively cut wood and sinensis facets more prominent than the heavy sweet kinam base scent. Nice clean profile, no funk, and blasphemous though it sounds, this is a oil that has a lot to offer once it is diluted (as far as what my nose tells me). A drop of this in a sample vial filled with alcohol and allowed to age for a while is a treat. 🙂

Oud Altamash by Tabeer Oud
Malay Moattaq by Tabeer Oud
Both vintage, and both emanate fragrant energy. Greeting notes testify their being aged and aged.

Malay Moattaq is at par with any high end Merauke by the first five artisans (pioneers). It's being replete with multi shades is divine. Oud Altamash is aged Hindi. Traditional Hindi, but vintage! Hence, its Oudy barn is the most sought after profile, but for a Hindi Oud veteran can appreciate it.
Loved both oils, esp their being genuinely aged.

« Anas », @mesOUD. Un éclat scintillant, poudré, violet et blanc ; un fond de pollen sucré, des notes de rubis cristallin qui jaillissent de derrière des vagues violettes. Superbement distillé.

Des fioles gravées absolument charmantes. Mehmet offre une expérience phénoménale.

Bonjour,

Je ne doute pas une seconde de la qualité des ouds de notre ami mais WOW ! les prix sont exagérés par rapport à ce que l'on paye en France chez des fournisseurs de très bonne qualité en plus !

Jiribam Guf - Rising Phoenix Perfumery

Dried fruit, conifer, vaporous opening with a cacao drydown. Mellow barn balanced by a persistent sweetness.

A favourite. Easy to love, grounding and comforting oil.

Two heavy hitters on either side this morning. Firstly Al Hind Oud - Thai Zen, followed by An Najwa - Arakan Classic. My world is full of jam and incense.

Were there any others which you found smelled nostalgic or noteworthy while you were there?

Was there more than one Altamash that was released? The one I have is a Malay and it’s more new Gen than anything.

Oops I just realized you put Tabeer. I was thinking of Habzoud’s Altamash. Sorry!

Kadim was also quite good and nostalgic. Seufi is Assamese at least that’s what the seller was telling me at ajmal, I forgot to ask about the Kadim. They also have a nice traditional Burmese but that’s 880$ per tola.

Mentholic, dark and resinous.
I like the hint of Vanilla in the background

And I just realized Habz Oud had also released an oil with the same name.

Slight spelling difference but very similar, my oil was called Altamsah ❤️

I see I’ve had a dyslexic moment with this one from the very beginning haha!

It is, but oddly enough I didn’t really enjoy it mixed with ruh gulab. The first time I mixed it I got a very weird engine lube kind of scent , but after a day it kind of settled and started smelling better. I did 20% rose and 80% of the oud which I know is a lot but hey it’s good to be adventurous.
I also started a few dilutions to experiment more freely with.

You know those days when you want to smell Filippino wood? It’s one of those days for me!
But I don’t usually light up a coal before bed so i just swiped this gem! The profile is so breathtaking, it’s like falling in love every time i swipe.
