@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.
I reviewed it a while back on my Insta. I could see how a traditional Hindi can cause such a reaction. It's extremely heady, but there is zero funk in this. Very peaty, earthy, malty.
 
(Hope the chemo goes well)

Wow, you make KC sounds really really good. I love a high performing, dark beast of an oud.
When is the last time you saw an exclusively char distilled oil? One of those whiskey profiles, as I call them, that I love so much.

Krishnai Char has been really popular. It’s kinda starting to run low, actually. Now’s a good time to grab some.
 
Light Cambodian oud + Siberian deer musk
This maceration has turned very fruity, has a black pepper spiciness to it as well as a light sweet resinous nature, as well as the known deer musk effects. However I can smell the faint sweet smell of alcohol, so I’m leaving the bottle open today to see if I can get rid of it.
I made it a long time ago, by putting a few grains of deer musk + a few drops of a musk tincture.
 
Going with Blue Bakhoori Oud oil from Sokkat Alteeb today. This one is special for me. It doesn’t have that varnishy nutty scent that I like. But has woody, smokey, sweet floral notes and still packs a punch. Wonderfully mesmerizing.
How can I purchase Sokkat Alteeb in USA? 🤔
 
Habzoud - Zamarad 2, a heavy swipe today, no holds barred big Oud bubble. This and burning some wild Nha Trang incense. Edit..as the dry down comes along I've now paired it with Vintage Ruh khus from AlHindOud. Amazing.. just amazing. That green green grass of the khus with the green cola of Zamarad is wonderful.

Arakan from @Al Shareef Oudh
Loving this from the Sampler pack! Some initial impressions of fruit and a sweetness at first, with a strong Oud heart. No barn…. Thinking about getting 2.5g of this one.

Edit: this has is settled into sort of that pine-y, almost powdery Smell you get on the initial whiff of a Borneo - some lacquer, and ancient books as well, (again forgive me as I’m new to this affliction… I mean, addiction… I mean hobby, so I don’t have the exact terminology)

This has moved into one of my new top favorites quickly. Let’s see how long it lasts as the dry down continues.

Purple SQ (aka Oud SQ) - 90s Terengganu with the thick leathery resinous SQ style. I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, and I'd probably argue that at this point Purple now functions as a similar kind of oud trope to 'Kinamic', where it's an umbrella of different profiles, signifier of quality and loose but compelling hypebeast marketing term all in one.

I haven't tried Sulaym's SQ Purple Malay, but given how this is performing I would guess that these oils are in a similar ballpark AND that the ballpark is very enjoyable but not mindblowing. Smooth, rich, malted, unfermented (though it does have a tang in the opening that settles quickly), aged Malay. On this first wear, I'm not detecting smoke, florals, purple or any piercing incense notes (but I'm looking for them because of write-ups elsewhere). It's something that smells immediately familiar, in the sense that it's very calming and satisfying even though I don't think I have any oils in my cabinet that nail down this exact profile and make it redundant.

A good addition to any collection, but not something that people should be agonising over to search out at any cost.
 
Burmese Special Oud - Sokkat AlTeeb

A dark and thick oil. Starts off with the scent of mud being slinged in my face. Then it develops earthy, muddy, woody, slight nutty notes. I’m also getting hints of sour cream, olive oil, and parsley. I’ve swiped this before but I’m getting a little apple note this time. Very delicate. Beautiful Oud oil.

Firdaus by Kymya

The first dab of this oud I didn't like at all, but as the conversation continued and the scent evolved into this intense purple flurry, I couldn't help but catching a whiff everytime I moved my arm, and throughout the entire night and the next day. It kept growing on me and is honestly one of the most complex and addictive oils I've ever smelled, to the point where I started smelling it randomly in my environment 😅 10/10 would recommend.
 
Sweet fruity smoky at the beginning with a chewy quality, then it moves to a sour ripe yogurt direction at the heart, and ends with a spicy woodiness.
It's a very Dynamic oil, moving quickly, I like it.
Thanks for that. I have M4K V1 from Agar Aura so I was curious about this one.
…....…............…

Today:
Havva - MesOUD.
Tropical fruits, the beach and incense. It feels like it has opened up even more on this wearing. Golden in colour and golden with a touch of blue and purple in my mind. 🤯💛
