Oud of the Day

[Humpdidumpdi]

Sulaym - Nr.2

 

[Olfactory Nomad]

Oudique - Huian Ateeq. Man, this hits so good. That aged soft wood perfumed dry down is almost straight out of the bottle and it keeps going for hours! Delicious.

Lao - local vendor

Very similar to Lan Xang from fushigi minus the bitterness. Clean smell and the difference is in its depth and “dusty" flavor which prominent in this one. Very nice and I’m sad that he didn’t have more than a half a gram. We split it and he said he’ll look for something similar if he comes by it in the future. Great guy. Honestly, a physical visit to experience the Oud and hospitality is something unparalleled.

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.View attachment 44948

I know that people here don’t like such comparisons, but do you think this oil will be on the level of Pusong LTD from Ensar?

Enjoying royal sumatra ,I don't know why but AA oils seem to be only skin scents ,no projection whatsoever compared to traditionally distilled oils .
I dowsed my self and yet no projection even though I do tend to smell the oils for hours after application. Even with moisturizer applied ,any tips for projection guys?

I found that many AA oils have poor projection. Are there any AA oils worth buying recently?

Would be interesting to know if someone already tested the new myitkyina 1987 from ensar.
If so, please give a short impression 😃

I am also curious to hear people’s review on this oil

Yavuz from @mesOUD is such a treat. What could be better than a rarity like this handcrafted by somebody you trust? Priceless benchmark crassna to me - sweet and appealing but also deep and resinous, custardy, suave, complex... I just can't believe I have a chance to smell something like this. I've said it before but I spent a fair amount of my time studying oud operating under the assumption that oils like this were 100% unobtainable outside of extremely rarified circles. Information was hard to come by and I believed some things I shouldn't have. I also think what mesoud is doing here can't really be explained by normal "supply and demand" forces not that I am an expert on such things - this is a guy with passion pursuing his own dreams, and we get to come along for the ride a little bit

This one is really growing on me. Each wear is giving me something new to discover. Today I'm getting some intense dark sweetness, as if Honey was stored in an antique wooded box. I'm getting some slight spice and bitterness, but also a faint lactonic quality.

 

[Mr.P]

Here's an odd one - the cheapest oil in the set from Yuzhi (no. 11 Kinam) - a very inexpensive CO2 extract. It has almost no odor whatsoever, which actually makes it kind of interesting as a perfume materials because it seems like it could be both a carrier and fixative, and is the only thing I have smelled that's more neutral than sandalwood.

EO Blue Yunnan
Today there is a delicious dates note that I never smelled in any other oud oil apart from the cinnamon dates combination in ASO Samandari.
Delicious!

That's true unfortunately, would categorize these ouds into meditative purposes and not as perfumes . The most recent oils that have good projection might be Keo and agar noir (lasts more than 8hrs on skin ,but I have not tried them out to on an outing .

Ensar Meghalaya 1977 this morning

And a midday swipe of ASO Thuraya

And tonight swiped ASO AMA Kalakassi

Been a good day

 

[Oudicine]

I have noticed that most high grade oils are top note crazy (very volatile ) but the mid and base smells are usually confined to skin . Any explanation?

Yes brother
Bcz most are attar
With attar what i mean is:For example if that is natural form of 10 grams oil(just Hypothetical example only)
40% Top note 4 gr
40% Mid note 4 gr
20% Base note 2 gr
But after people collect them seperately,doğng like this(bc thinkin that is best)
7 gr”Artisanal oil”
4 gr tope not:57%
2 gr mid note:28,5%
1 gr base note:14,5%
Rest 3 grams selling seperately
As i said just random numbers,but point is this
And i call them attar

That's what they fractioning the oil ? What's the purpose of fractioning the distillation, is it because each note is distilled as a different temp?
