Srimango certainly has a raw mango vibe for me. This one goes a bit "woodier" on my skin as opposed to Huian KO, which is more watermelon-y (perfect for summer). I got the ripe mango vibe from Fragrant Harbour, something I expected more from Srimango.

Malay Ultima @Faizal_p – A Timeless Jewel of the Malay Heartland
I still remember speaking with Ahmed from Sulaym about Malaysian oud oils. He didn’t hesitate when I asked which one to get as I had missed out on Purple Malay.Malay Ultima he said, without hesitation. That was enough for me. I reached out to Faizal, and without waiting for the official release, I had it in hand.
But as with all great things, patience was key. I held back, despite the urge, waiting for the right moment. That moment arrived on my first Jummah in Madinah, this past Friday, in the sacred stillness of Masjid al-Nabawi. One swipe and I was transported.
A sharp, almost petroleum like spark opened the show, but within seconds, it bloomed into something majestic. A thunderous cascade of deep, dark resin, rich wood, and aged sweetness poured out, layered with leathery, earthy textures. The scent was alive, primal, elegant, unapologetically bold.
The oil over 40 years old. And that maturity speaks in every breath, velvety, creamy, and hauntingly complex. You don’t just wear Malay Ultima; you witness it unfold.
From glowing amber to wet jungle earth, smoky trails of incense to that unmistakable “Malaysia blue” note that dances in the air. Its a special oil that draws you in, then leaves you silently in awe. There’s nothing rushed here, only time, depth, and character.
Malay Ultima has surpassed every expectation. It’s the finest SQ oil I’ve ever experienced and easily the best Malaysian I’ve had the privilege to own, and certainly in my top 3. It’s a crown jewel, and I’ll definitely be securing more for my vault (my special drawer for now lol). A true collector’s treasure, hoping Faizal will save me some more. I look forward to wearing at again on another special day; Eid

Ali @ over.oud on instagram. The theee oils i posted are the last of his stock.
He’s not like big vendors with dozens of Ouds. He only stocks a limited number of few well chosen ouds, at good prices too. Tell him Saud from Qatar sent you 😉. His Kalimantan oud chips are to die for too. Not sure if there’s any in stock.

Alhind's Burma Kalakassi came in and I'm stoked. It was a quick first impression, since I had just come in from traveling, but I got a spicy opening that then transitioned into some wonderful dried fruits and the ever slightest bit of hay. I was also getting some gummy fruits that reminded me of Khmer Tiger from Oudique but all this was wrapped around lovely dark brown, chocolatey notes.

About to apply some Old Cambodian Oud oil, and then put a sprayable Pontic Mountain Range Oud (جبال البنتشات). The smell is divine. Notes of smoke, wood, chocolate from the Oud and then spice, dirt, and citrus from the spray.
i had asked the vendor where is this location in Arabic and I couldn’t find it. He said in Turkey. I couldn’t find the location by transliteration. The closest I found was Pontic Mountain Range (which seems to have suitable climate for Agarwood). His website has a typo which says the location is between Cambodia and Thailand. I pointed this out to him. And he said this is an error.
He's a reliable vendor as I’ve bought many high-quality items from his store and he has many YouTube videos documenting his endeavors in perfumery and sourcing good Agarwood.

This is very odd, at first I thought you meant Pontic mountain rose, I don’t know where rose is grown in turkey but I thought maybe that’s one place.
But then I notice you said oud, I’ve never heard ever of oud grown in turkey, or really anywhere outside of coastal Asia aside from Australia.
Are you sure it’s OUD from Pontic mountains of turkey? And not Pontianak in Indonesia?
Or is it just the marketing name of the specific spray

No, Pontic Mountain Range was the only area I could find that was close to the vendor’s description. He said it was in the Turkish country-side. Yes, I have never heard of of Oud from Turkey. But this particular vendor is well-known.
It is not Pontianak from Indonesia. On his website, the spray is unclear what region he is talking about. He just mentions the name (Jibal AlBantashat). For his Oud oil of the same name it mentions that it’s from a range between the border of Cambodia and Thailand. I messaged him to confirm the discrepancy between what’s on his website and what his staff told me. He said what is on the website is a wrong information entry. And that Jibal AlBantashat is in the Turkish country-side. He said it’s from “Tshat” - which I couldn’t find.
I will double confirm the regional origin after Eid. Could be miscommunication as they have a huge backlog of orders. This was one of his staff I was talking to.
And as you said, it could possibly be a marketing name. But I think that’s unlikely. Will update you soon.

I liked the spray so much that I ordered another bottle and the Oud oil. Will go nicely for Eid. See attached. Name of vendor is masked for privacy reasons but a simple google search you can find the products.

What's the site?

Hi there,
I’de prefer not to disclose until I can confirm the regional origin for sure. Also, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to share vendor names on here.
Understandable

Ok. He wrote back and I translated.here is the translation “ The Bentchat Mountains, which separate the Republic of Cambodia from the Kingdom of Thailand to the east”. This is already written in the website.
I did a google search of Bentchat Mountains and found a Wikipedia page titled “Chanthaburi Mountains”.
The section detailed reads: [The Chanthaburi Range forms a westward continuation of the Banthat Range (the section of the Cardamom Mountains forming the boundary between Thailand and Cambodia)].
I believe this to be what he is talking about. I don’t know why they mentioned Turkey to me. Apologies for the confusion.

Oh yeah that makes much more sense, maybe they misheard or mistranslated the name , which does happen. I kind of wish it actually was some kind of rare undiscovered Oud species in turkey 😂

My thoughts exactly! At first I thought he said he was vacationing there. But in no uncertain terms, they said in Turkey. Anyway, guess that’s a new place to explore.

Both Torad Borai and Chantaburi Oud oils are divine and close to the style I like. Torad Burai is stronger and more spicy and a bit heavier or viscous. Chantaburi has a slightly lighter color but similar in scent profile to Torad borai and Laosi hatab. But is similarly spicy and more citrusy and a bit runnier or less thick. Maybe a bit of wood and slightly smokey but not too much. Very high-quality.
The spray is a watered down version I would say of the oil. It has the same scent but is more palatable and practical for someone who might not want the scent to be too harsh or who doesn’t have the time to apply the oil.

Raja Hijau 2 and Sultan Hijau, one in the morning, the other in the evening. I can clearly see why these two are wedded. Gem-like, fractal top notes of pine and pith, with a bit more fruits in Raja and more phenol in Sultan. Both would be amazing layered with Bandit. I'd also be curious what some rose might do, not that I would mix them in an attar though. Sultan ends up a little more leathery and is my preferred taste, as opposed to Raja, but both are tremendous.
Green fragrances are still a mystery to me; I'm finding that I can't quite tell whether I love them even if I enjoy them and keep getting more of them.
