Oud of the Day

Looking forward to what @kban thinks as well. For me, it's a very boring oil, that is, if at all you can even smell it! Has that faintly vanillic scent in a woody backdrop and from the stick, you'll be struggling to find anything to smell, let alone deciding whether its good or bad.

Your comment intrigues me. Unfortunately, DHL Express has delayed delivery of the package, so I won’t be able to test it today. I will when it arrives. So instead today I am using Frederic Malle’s Dawn. It’s obviously an entirely different thing from pure oud oil, but I do love this house’s Night, Moon, and Dawn.
 
Ghazal 3 Habzoud

Mineral rich ambergris-like opening, which then settles into a sweet and round, resinous, creamy, musky oud. Light calfskin leather. Deeply satisfying. The most animalic and true to musk and ambergris notes in oud I’ve ever experienced..

I encourage those who find it challenging to give it another swipe after some time. It took me a few wears to really appreciate its depth. Very unique oil. One for animalic scent fans for sure.
 
Three Oud oils by Sultania Aroma got delivered.
1. Membramo
2. Filipino
3. Java

Well, Filipino is a class! Fillipino is more than a class, better say it is THE class that does emerge on the market once in years. This oil compelled me to write, and my mind and heart impelled me to write. At least I experienced it is just words that Golden Era or Oriscent is over. This Fillipino nullifies that approach of 'mine', drastically.
Deep into deep agarwood scent, the very core of agarwood, the core of the core of reainous agarwood, and then a tinge of aqua scent in the open fields during the Fall, and above all, the aroma of mother Earth coming through Oud is the gravity that pulls me and swallows me in toto. Oud starts where words end. Otherwise, it is just mustard oil if it falls within the limited boundary of a language.

Membramo and Java will be on the wrist if ever I could come out of the beauteous mystery of this Fillipino.

Agreed on the drydown. It’s one the top viet oils I’ve ever smelled. The quality is unmistakable. I’ve worn it probably 7 or 8 times now. First impressions were really rough though. The broth never goes away for me until the drydown. Once it leaves it’s pure heaven.

That's super interesting. I LOVE it the first instance I put in on me. Actually, I love it so much that I am about to get another bottle, just to save. I don't think there will be (m)any like it.
 
Vathimi Raja by ASO

Starts off with a massive blast of briny ocean breeze. This marine note calms down and it begins to also smell like the pit of a peach with some juices still coating it. I am also getting a bit of coconut, which when combined with the aquatics makes me think of sunscreen. Once it has fully dried down, the fruit and sunscreen leave and I pick up a very clean new car leather. Very clean refreshing oud for a hot summer day that develops over the wear.

“Kalakassi Oud Oil” - Abdul Samad al Qurashi

The stated “80 year” version of this notorious product we were talking about on a thread earlier in the week.

Taking off the cap and sniffing the top of the stopper-dipstick, there are strong notes of fermented fruit, with a somewhat coarse acetone character. I took a fat swipe and it opened up quickly with sour berries and spicy notes of ginger and black pepper.

This product is superloud - none of the artisan oud oils I own really ‘project’, but this does. After swiping, I hopped on my bike and cycled away on an errand - the oil was in my nostrils the whole way there and the whole way back despite a strong wind.

Not an artisan product…not at all…but I kind of admire and enjoy its brashness on some level.

This one's the vintage aged kalakassi. Totally opposite to the '80 year' version. Incredibly thick, resinous, dense and sweet profile.

TOL Kanbi Koh
EO Oud Extraordinaire

Initially I thought that TOL Kanbi Koh was similar to OE but after testing them next to each other it’s pretty obvious that the TOL is levels above compared to Oud Extraordinaire (I guess that’s cult vs wild for you). Naga I thought it was similar to them but I no longer think so.
