Today Co2 Oud I can't remember the name of the distiller but it's Chinese Oud #2 Smokey sweet with a deep Maple molasses. I'm loving ❤️ it.

 

[Mousse de Chene]

There is one olde Burmese from the same region ,just now presented for sale by Ensar . Might not have the characteristics but will be awesome

Thanks for the tip! I can almost guarantee it won’t have the same characteristics as AA’s Myitkyina was produced with a clean new gen aesthetic. Regardless, I’m sure Ensar’s 1987 batch will be spectacular, I love those spicy, leathery, purple-red incensey old world Burmese oils.

HM Badshah - Sulaym.

I was graciously sent this sample with my order of Sultan Qaboos 1979 Burmi. What an absolute treat…I love aged Hindi’s & this is one of the best I’ve smelled.
The barnyard top note is still prominent, but it’s smoothed out, caramelised, boozy, absolutely delicious! I’ve always appreciated the fermented top note of traditional Hindi Oud, even when the oil is young, yet here Badshah’s barn is almost ‘pretty’.

As the barnyard top eventually begins to settle, the oil opens up & showcases the most glorious woody incense note, a touch smoky, dusty, earthy. Hints of patchouli.
Following the incense, the signature Agallocha resin reveals itself with notes of cherry pipe tobacco, spices, animalic leather, sun baked hay, labdanum. HM Badshah displays a mature, ripe sweetness of amber, cacao, dry fruits with a vivid boozy rum / cognac nuance. The boozy quality is unique, I haven’t experienced such a realistic & forward boozy quality in a Hindi oil until now.

This oil has been aged to perfection, every note seamlessly falls into place in perfect timing during the scent progression. Refined, complex, elevated yet a comforting, true hearted aroma.

Wang lia Ko Eo-nice bitter oil, reminds me of an old oil that with traditional aesthetics, woody cinnamony bitter sweet oil ,very nice oil ,with good projection
Lao gold v1-I am sucker for AA aesthetics, bitter sweet slightly herbal pears . I personally prefer this over this EO.
Keo-AA this was amazing oil for the price ,peanuts top notes and then goes into peppery woody oil .

ASO Qandahaar 2.1
Part 3
Completely ouddicted to this oil. In love. Waking up to it. The way it's long legs stretch in the morning, the incense. That said, I don't recommend this to an oud neophyte. Don't try this kids.

 

[Mr.P]

What have you got in that Guerlain bottle there???

 

[PersonelHigh]

What have you got in that Guerlain bottle there???

It's a Hoi-An tincture. Very cherry forward. I even added more alcohol to it because the Qandahaar 2.1 doesn't really need it. Just to give breathe to it's fecal forward opening.

Ha! Today's oil is a gem! It immediate stands out as something special and unique with facets of aged leather and whisps of spicy incense.

U should try his attar based on oud said . It's 4D compared to oud Said, in other words it amplifies each of the facets ,that's mind u with just the leftover when opening the plastic cap of the vial . I still didn't use it ,as I am saving it as a last resort just in case I run out of Oud Said.

give some time for the aged oils, they take time to bloom.

RPP - 2020 Agartala Wardi
I had it for quite some time but it's about two weeks I tried it a few times.
It's a very nice warm Hindi oil that has a tranquil quality to it. I just find myself closing my eyes when I smell this one.
Evocative? Yeah, I'd use that word for this oil. I really like this one.

Al Hashimi - Kambodi Katheef 3
I didn't like it at first but it kept growing on me. Now I really love this one. Super fruity, sweet, cooling. It reminds me of various purple fruits. Ugh, just so good.

Yavuz by @mesOUD, A Masterpiece of Time and Place
When Mehmet first introduced me to Yavuz, I knew this was no ordinary oud, it was a soul-stirring creation, a distillation of art and mastery that demanded the right moment and place. For almost a month, I resisted the temptation, knowing that something this exquisite deserved more than just a casual wearing. And so, I waited until yesterday. Jummah at Masjid al-Haram in Makkah. The perfect moment.
From the first swipe, Yavuz revealed itself like a symphony, a bright, piercing citrus layered with honeyed resin, a high pitched green vibrance that settled into waves of silky, spiced wood. The fruit of 42 days of meticulous distillation by a true master, it embodies the very soul of Laos, mango, papaya, guava, red berries, and a gentle incense rising through floral whispers of jasmine, rose, and violet. You would expect nuances of barn, but there isnt any, but a radiant incense harmony.
As it evolves, the oil deepens, unfolding into a tapestry of earthy, meditative warmth, certain spices smoothed by the dry, powdery allure of aged wood. Sweet, bitter, rich, and complex, it dances between layers, captivating and elusive, a fragrance that shifts and transforms with time.
And yet, this is only the beginning. Not even a month old, Yavuz already hints at a future of unimaginable depth and beauty. Its journey has just begun, and once I return, I have no choice but to place it into my own oil vault (a special drawer for now, at least!) where time will continue to weave its magic, allowing this masterpiece to mature into something truly legendary.
