AlHindoud - Alamgir 1 + Habzoud - Jaya Qadeem. Fantastic combo.

It sounds like, now that I'm going alcohol free, I would use the steam distilled as a dilutant if the additional sandalwood note doesn't mess with my vision.

Habzoud - Al Jannah. Was generously gifted this sample from a long sold out oil. I didn't even know this oil existed but boy, I wish I had got some at the time!! Stunning Hindi oil. Honestly, this smells like honey to me. Honey and saddle leather. AMAZING!!

“Kyara Oud Oil” - ASAQ
Putting the product name in quotes because…well…I think people here know why.
This was a little over 150GBP for 3ml from the ASAQ store in London.
Not much of a top note here - just some faintly stewed fruits and a touch of acetone/nail varnish. In the dry-down, the first notes to emerge are touches of black pepper, ginger and some pleasantly astringent, bitter wood notes. Later in the dry-down it turns powdery, with a purplish sense, and even a slightly milky aspect. It’s all very faint, and I find I have to apply a lot of oil and wait patiently before all of these notes develop.
It’s a palpable step down from the ASAQ “Kalakassi oud oil” products, which are stronger and longer-lasting, though possessing a remarkably similar profile. I’m not sure what to make of this…similar profiles, but intensity scaling with price. 🤔
Anyway, while this oil is pleasant enough to wear, it is simply not a rebuy for me. I consider it part of my learning curve. 🙂

Hi Salam Ouddicts 🙂
Today is fell into excessive swipes of the day 😅
MesOud Havva 🍌🍦🥭🌊🪵💦🌾
An Najwa Omar II 🐴💼🐎🍑🌾🌶
An Najwa safeer 🥐🧈🥞🍯🌾
An Najwa Sher Shah 🍇🪵🍦🍑🌾
An Najwa Arakan classic 🫐🍑🌰
Havva is maybe the best clean Silani oil I tried with Adhrijaya…
The opening is a sweet Banana candies with a honey aroma in a kind of vanilla yoghurt ! It remind me Al Hashimi Lindaraja in the banana opening but with less incense than Lindaraja and more sweetness and power ! Then mango coming with an apple pear juice and a light resinous woodiness and airy jungle vibe …
After hours Havva got un unbelievable oceanic vibe of waves splashing the rocks and that mineral sea salt note coming to remind me how Adhrijaya is beautiful! I almost get a Borneo vanilla diesel like with a golden vetiver shadow !
This silani got all in one … Havva got the silani tropically profile with the silani Oceanic profile… full spectrum !
A real treasure…
Omar II is a very nice barny Hindi !
Opening is strong spicy leather barn but then calming down and sharing a dark leathery Agallocha Dna with horses skin scent which I love but not so hard …
Of course it’s barny but in a right way it’s not dirty to my nose …
For sensitive nose I recommend more safeer or Sher shah
Safeer is honeyed hindi with a sandalwoodish buttery smell, very well balanced between the smooth barn and the sandalwoodish butter smell !
It’s a lovely oil !
Sher shah got a powdery mighty Mizo opening with lots of additional notes …
I get dry berry and apricot and smooth sandalwoodish aura dry grapes and light incense! Very nice oil !
Arakan classic is the classical Burmese oil with the blueberry and apricot marmelade and a mild bitter sweetness, some almond and the smoothest clean crassna « barn » I have ever experienced which is very addicting ! It’s clean but the typical fruity crassna is kind of cheesy some time when it’s too much fruity ! Here it is beautifully balanced !
Sorry for the long post I have to be selective in my describing style 😅
I wish you all a Gooud swipe of the day ! ^^

Unapologetic fecal barn with a boozey zest
dominates the opening that will satisfy the hardcore barn lover.
Oudy hit, vanilla and fruits, resin and wood,
but I miss the camphor from the first Qandahaar.

Thanks but You too brother … ^^ you even convinced me few times to try some oils with your review 😉
You are an older member than me and you’ve got a very accurate nose Mashallah 😇
I post only the oils I like … if I am not writing about an oil , it’s cuz I didn’t liked it so much :/
But however, taste and color are subjective…

Hours later and drydown is nice, hopefully with aging the barn to base balance will improve.

Absolutely gorgeous Malaysian Oud. This has very good longevity on the skin. I bough this primarily to macerate some Mongolian grains in which I have done over a year ago. But I also have some for wearing in these warm days. Fruity on opening with medicinal notes wafting around also. The dry down in this always reminds me of something familiar that I can;t quite place. But it is something positive for sure.

Can you give more detail about how version one is different
Version 2.1 has a beautiful dry down. Almost like vintage Malaysian.

Kyara Classique by @Tabeer_Oud
Opened leathery (like a soft leather of a newly minted handbag) and smoky. This opening was a new experience today. In the dry-down it developed the familiar juicy aroma that I associate with drinking "aam-panha" on a hot summer afternoon.

At first swipe like smelling the green leaf of Mint, but not minty, then the Camphor, but airy, not too much Camphor, all the while, a creamy Barn lurking in the background.
Then the display of Oud matched by the Camphoraceous-ness.
Then the Barn comes forward, and pairs-up with the Perfume.
(The Barn is Musky and Indolic, but smooth and pleasant) (The way my imagination captures the Perfume Aspect, is as if you added 2 cups of Ta'ifi Rose hydrosol, 1 cup of Boswellia Serrata hydrosol, 1 tablespoon of Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan, and some Sinensis dust into the Degh during distillation)
Then the oil settles in harmony between the Brightness, the Oud, the Barn, and the Perfume. It stays that way for a good long while.
At drydown, more Barn, more Oud, and a Medicinal Vibe. The brightness is lessened but never goes away.

Habzoud - Al Jannah. Wearing this beautiful Hindi again today. Big problem with samples of oils that are no longer available. Very quickly you reach the point of no return. Anyone else have this oil? Don't believe I've seen it mentioned before. @Habz786 any plans on releasing something similar to this in the future?
