I adore this oil.
Clean yet still has a growl. Fresh but not a freshie. Very full bodied. Not the same scent genre AT ALL but I would wear this on the same sort of days I would be in the mood for Areej Grandenia if that helps anyone.
Hope to be able to get a gram at some point.

This is a wonderful oil. It reminds me of a special Nha Trang chunk I have that is so aromatic and soul stirringlgy beautiful. Namely the bittersweet, chocolate milk and vanilla aspects. I can only imagine what type of wood was used for this distinction.

Any advice for newbie to approach purchases?

Given the financial dimension of collecting agarwood, it is hard to know what advice to offer someone who asks such a question!
Pretty much your budget will determine your options. It's one of those "how much are you willing to spend?" scenarios

Hi,
Funds are not restricted but I do not possess the knowledge required for purchase of quality products.
Then start with different budgets,start with mid tier ouds prices 200 to 500 USD for 2.5 g and sample them 0.3g -0.5g .
Start with habzoud as he provides sample sets .
Agar aura has samples but are very expensive ,they are considered high tier .
Ensar unfortunately might have samples for the very high end oils ,but will cost u a kidney 😁 (just kidding ).
Oils are varied even from the same region ,try typical regions i.e fruity Thais ,sweet Cambodis and horse shed hindis .
You will not stop exploring .I usually try regions that I have not tried ,and if I like the regional oil ,then I will buy oils from the same regions but different vendors.

I would consider myself a newbie as well. But what I have found helpful is going for samples of different regions and figuring out my tastes for each region, although, I have found this can also vary from artisan to artisan!
I would suggest buying in little quantities, that's what I have been doing so far. I have yet to buy an "Oriscent" or very rare ouds yet, (my rarest being an SQ oil), but I probably will soon. Just not sure when and where!

Is your intent to sample of wide spectrum of oils of different qualities, characteristics, and origins? Or are you just interested in the really top shelf material? Or for that matter, are you looking for more "daily wear"?

Honestly, my goal is to sample a number of oils, identify the constituents that are similar, both individually and as groups and assess aroma profiles. Next in order to understand what I am compiling I would compare the data to the written descriptions of users and assimilate.
For myself, ultimately I would love to find just 2 or 3 oils that send me to the moon for personal use. I have not purchased enough oils to make an informed judgement at this point. I may end up enjoying an oil or two that are not top shelf by the standards of the experienced user such as yourself, however to comprehend the depth of a truly complex oil would take experience or training.
Not to sound cliche - but if I were to obtain some magnificent, royal aged oil right now I think that would be like a teenager drinking Johnnie Walker Blue at his/her first exposure to liquor. So I don't know enough about Oudh to even guess at what would be a reasonable starting point for myself. All the science in the world will not assist my decision making process until I have experienced aromas of various oils for myself. Perhaps after that I can use science to estimate which might be preferable for me personally.
Based on some responses I have received some members appear to think I am an idiot, but I understand the plight of one that doesn't know enough about something to even ask the right questions. This is the position I am in right now, comparatively speaking, and just looking for some guidance.
Maybe this will help - for me I wear scents I enjoy, of which there are few, and I do not have daily wear vs. special wear oils/extraits. I wear scent for myself, not to impress/attract others.
I hope this explanation doesn't make me appear even more foolish to you, and I am trying to learn about Oudh. The descriptions are amazing so I am quite curious. Analyzing micrograms of oils is worlds away from allowing your brain and body to partake of the aromas.
Hope this makes sense!

Thank you for the advice, and kindly manner!

It makes sense. Given the gamut of aromas that fall under the oud umbrella, you have a huge field of potential fragrance to process. Sort of a 10 year project as I see it, if that makes sense, which makes any particular entry point into the whole thing kind of arbitrary. I don't think you will find anybody with a sample set that covers even a fraction of the variety of types of oud out there. Probably the most informative thing you could do (and I know this is obvious but I mean it very specifically because we're not talking about something like rose oil which has fewer variations) would be to buy sample sets from more than one vendor and take a look at the variation within and between the sets. Even if you did this with every sample set carried by every vendor here right now, you would still only have scratched the surface because the stock is always changing as is the characteristic of the oils.
The alternative would be to narrow it down to one region/category by some kind of discussion based process of elimination and just get to know that one category well. That will give you a strong foundation to begin investigating other regions.
It really is bafflingly complex which is part of what makes it fascinating.

Thank You for your sage advice. This is helpful to me. I have purchased from EO, and love a few, and one was like a wet ashtray. I figured that I have not developed enough experience to discern the full quality of the product at this stage. I appreciate the advice!
