Oud of the Day

[Dr B1414]

EO Oud Salahuddin
AA Khmer Rosso

These two are endgame Cambodi oils for me. Old wood, pre-fruity Crassnas. No leather, no tobacco, no fruit, no funk. Incredibly "ancient smelling" and dusty. I imagine if the tree oozed resin and it got petrified on the bark for centuries, it'd smell like this. Deep, resinous smell, dark-red, dusty, like an old cellar or wooden attic. Tacky in texture. With a fine incense smoke accord running through and a green-mentholated cooling sensation that tingles the nose. Salahuddin is more intricate and abounds in dark smoke. Rosso is a tad sweeter, and the smoke is less noticeable. Maybe one day I'll try to get my hands on more of this type of Cambodi oils. I imagine Ko Kon is in this vein also. Never cared much for Cambodi oils, but this DNA is something else.

Maraoki Qadeem - Oudique

The Indonesian profile is pretty clear on this one, sometimes I wonder if it's a Borneo oil, but then the darker and greener aspects of maroke/papua come out.

Has anybody else tried this one? I'm sampling it now and loving it, but wondering if going for a full gram from a higher end supplier would be worth it? The scent profile is green earth and an interesting coffee note, perhaps even rain hitting jungle/oceanic rocks.

Oud Lab Garo Jing. Yummy leather. Dry down smells like dark, dusty cacao nibs. A little bit of fermentation.

The dry down has this earthy, grounding and quality that lasts all day.

This is liquid gold 💛

Ahom World. I saw some reviews here. Checked it out and got two oils. Mainly initiated because the logo is the elephant. I do have an elephant tattoo and a tapestry of Ganesha. Anyways, I got...
Crassna Musk 2.5g
Hindi Chypri 2.5g

Both are awesome. Hindi is gentle and very tea-like. Musk's incense oud is mesmerizing. Great buy. It's also on sale for those interested.

In spite of my enthusiasm I continuously underestimate the beauty of a decent CK oil. They are clearly not substitutes for fine old oils, not even close but they are wonderful things in their own way.

I woke up this morning catching hints of clean split wood, beautiful florals, resinous vanillaish balsamic notes. Very pleasantly surprised that this is what I woke to because this is the tail end of the oud I applied in the evening yesterday, a CK distillate which is not particularly engaging when you first apply it (although it's quite pleasant). I expected pleasant but not a base of such good duration and appeal.

Ck really comes across more as a raw material than a product in itself but it is an incredible raw material.

Particularly enjoy crassna musk as well.

Oudique maroke for the morning. In love with this profile. New to me.

I'm wearing three huge swipes of KC, it's so malty and rich, the hospital infusion clinic reeks of me!

Man, it's so potent, still blasting my face with its thickness.

Like scuba at great depth (200'), when the air coming from the second stage is under so much pressure you have to drink it in and it makes this metallic sound. Krishnai Char has texture like that!

I've never experienced this but your description gives a pretty visceral sense of it... wild

(Hope the chemo goes well)

Wow, you make KC sounds really really good. I love a high performing, dark beast of an oud.

 

[Olfactory Nomad]

@RisingPhoenix thought I'd look this one up on your website (KC). Sounds very nice and maybe just what I'm looking for in a Hindi. Might have to get myself a sample. I have a handful of Hindi samples and all but one so far seem to make me a little nauseous.
