Fiet Atiq from @Al Hashimi - simply gorgeous, from start to dry down. I increasingly "get" why these higher priced ouds are priced the way they are... as hard as it can be to stomach. Granted, there IS a sale going on...
Can't wait for this one . His oils are amazing ,I love that it's nothing fancy, no magic tricks in the distillations just pure quality oud with a good distillation and storage . His Cambodian ouds is what I called bottled nostalgia ,they are oils of the gulf from the 80s and 90s ,can reproduce these kinds of oils now .

Ok, so first impressions of Nizam ul Mulk - Alhindoud. Out of the bottle, I immediately get that kind of burnt honey note. This oil is a Nagaland and Alamgir 1 also had Nagaland oud as part of the distillation so I'm guessing that's where that comes from. This one sits quite close to the skin as the viscosity is very thin. It's almost earthy in it's personality. Like a clean soil. I'm really gravitating towards these clean Hindi's as daily personal scent. They make me feel grounded in some way. Has anyone tried African Black soap before? It also has a very earthy clean scent and it's reminding me of that. Loving it.💚

@SteveE , here's my impression after applying a couple of times.
I like this Koh Kong oud very much.
I am. wearing @Al Hashimi 's Koh Kong oud.
It's quality oud with a rich, congruous profile.
It opens with a diesel note at first, with a smoky vibe note, then settles into a smooth, resinous scent with subtle sweetness. There are earthy and woody undertones throughout, giving it a grounded and natural character.
The oud starts off strong (not overpowering, just good sillage), making it suitable for both experienced oud-heads and those new to traditional oud profiles. On the back of my hand, it leaves a lasting aroma that’s fine. Overall, it’s an excellent example of Cambodian oud (ig memory serves me well) and well worth buying.

Thanks! We don’t do new age stuff (with one exception that’s now sold out which was our Lindaraja).

Lindaraja is magical though

Oud Fanatic
Wearing @Al Shareef Oudh ’s Al Malek Al Kalakassi II this morning in celebration of an order long in the making—some of the house’s attars finally en route. AMAKII is a masterclass in Hindi balance: full-bodied, complete, with a dual-leather dimension—one grounding and warm, the other high-pitched and sun-dried, almost crackling.
This one’s all mellowed earth tones and ambered brightness: dried apricots, sun-baked leather, cracked spice on a dry breeze in the uplands.

Feels good to be missed—and even better to be welcomed back!
Not quite sure what happened, but after two years of full-on obsession, my nose suddenly got hypersensitive to oud.
Luckily, the collection that I’d built waited patiently for my return.

Smells so Oud
Went a little too hard yesterday with a second and third swipe of Nizam ul Mulk. Was getting serious brain buzz while waiting for it to settle down. When first applied it doesn't do much so it's easy to think you might need a little more but don't be tempted to do this because once your skin warms it up it becomes a power house. Had definite diesel notes coming in underneath. It's still making me think of African black soap. These are the ingredients of that product. Plantain skin ash, cocoa pod, shea tree bark, palm tree leaves. They turn these materials into ash and then mix them with coconut oil and palm oil. Very earthy.

First Batch old Pure Kalamentan Pontianak Hattab Oud Oil - Trade Oud
The name is a mouthful. I decided to give this oil another shot after reading a follow up comment by @mesOUD
I’m getting smokey, woody, honey, maple syrup, butter, and burnt sugar notes. It’s different than all other ouds. It’s got a unique scent profile that’s kind of akin to leather, dried raisins, and fig newtons or any dried fruit for that matter. Really enjoyable this time around and the dry down is superb.

Malinau Maliki - Habzoud. First impressions.... speechless. I have not smelled an oil like this before. I actually don't know how to describe this at all so I'll wait until others get a go of it.

Inspired by your review, Dabbed this up… very viscous but still flowing (not waxy or paste-like). I get caramel, sweetness and no sharpness. It’s poised immediately. I get cola and strangely I differ on this: no diesel. Perhaps my calibration of “diesel” is different as a person who spent dozens of hours on a tractor.
Tinge of antique varnish deep in there but behind mellow dark fruit. No smokiness.
20 minutes in now over coffee I rate this a “heck yeah” as a great Oud for daily use, a friendly one, and probably a good one to use to bring a newbie into the cult I mean… Hobby.

Oh thanks for reminding me that I have two arms to apply Oud to… I’ve just doubled my sensory experience and acceleration through this hobby (and wallet?)
