Oud of the Day

[Oudicine]

Pailin atiq (Alhashimi) opens like a carmal and salted popcorn mix ,and then becomes darker with purple floral scent and dry down into a slight sweet cedarwood .

7/30 - SQ Burmi 1979 by SULAYM

I don't think there is any way my words can do this oil justice... I feel very blessed to have some of this oil, even if it is not a lot. Burmi 1979 holds a top position in my collection.

Just opening and smelling directly from the vial takes my imagination to another place and time. I truly hope I can find more of this oil someday, otherwise I will definitely try to preserve the amount that I have for the rest of my life.

7/31 - Leyte Reverie by AlHind Oud

I recieved a generous sample of this oil with my order of Kinabalu Gold 2 (more on that beauty at a later date) and this oil was an instant love for me. In my opinion this is a very well-rounded and unique oil with an excellent bang-for-buck.

The description mentions some "damp earth" but I want to mention I don't get very much of that at all and it is definitely not the type of profile where it has musty earth/dirt going on. It is a very clean oil and has a very beautiful peppery resinous incense dry down that you will catch wafts of the next day. Exactly the sort of thing I tend to hope for, and something which reminds me of my Tigerwood oil dry downs.

Needless to say, I have already put an order in for more...

Habzoud Zamarad 3
Earthy without moldy trail, not menthol but stronger than minty upon opening, deep dry woodiness, sublime incense that is not overpowering.

I forgot to list this above...

Did you ever review his maroke? I think I recall you buying it.

I did purchase, but I have only applied once, and I will definitely need more time to sit with it.

My introduction to Oudh oils has not been typical, it was purely analyses of samples for a client. I did find a few to be pleasing to me but had no idea of source, location, species etc..
To jump in and attempt to digest so many subjective opinions and thoughts on a single subject is by no means an easy go for me as I am used to hard date, mathematical analyses, etc.....
I can only decide if an aroma is pleasing to me after I experience a composition, honestly have not been able to set up a flow chart for myself based on experiences of other purveyors.
I ask for patience and understanding when I ask what appear to be "foolish, amateur" questions. Time is required for assimilation of experiences prior to formulating an opinion I consider to be valid for myself.
While I enjoy reading the poetic descriptions of the Oudh oils and perfumes an incense everyone records so eloquently, to be honest it makes me feel like I am trying to read "Beowulf" in original form.
I may be slow on the uptake of descriptors commonly utilized, but when I truly enjoy an aroma I know it, yet this is not mutually exclusive when considering appreciation of the thoughtfulness and labor that was required for each and every quality product.
None of my comments carry malicious intent, I am simply obsessively curious.
Thank you for your patience in advance.

I have found infinite patience on the forum. It's one of the reasons why I love it. We all walk in each other's shoes.

Kanbojia - Oudique. A very easy to wear Cambodian. Like a Cambodian with training wheels. Opens quite vaporous but that settles down very quickly which leaves you with a lovely rich tobacco, molasses scent. It hints at soft powdery wood notes. I think this one could mature really nicely.

It's a blue kind of day, Sultani Blue that is. I unabashedly declare myself to be a big fan of @SULAYM. I've only talked to Ahmed a few times, but he's a genuinely good person. As for the products, the scents are beautiful, complex, and intriguing. And they last for a long time. All of these speak to quality and care, and so I will continue to support this store. I recommend @SULAYM highly.

The Sultani Blue is intriguing. I am putting it on for the first time and enjoying it as it evolves on my skin.

Thank you @kban for your kind words 🤲

Bamboo mid-spring in Northeastern USA. My mom has lots of bamboo that emits a unique airy greenish aroma- a light scented blossom mixed with day old grass cuttings. I believe I smell something akin to that springtime bamboo in
Habzoud Zamarad 3.
It has been several hours since application and this scent is now riding above woody incense.
Lovely

I will have to smell the knotweed across the road when it blooms and compare myself.

Interesting, I hadn't thought of knotweed VOCs

Layering with Habzoud - Zamarad 2 + Al Hashmi - Qadeem. Bringing out the big guns.

 

[Olfactory Nomad]

I want to add regarding Al Hashmi - Qadeem. This is the strongest Cambodian oud I've tried. It is first and foremost a Cambodian even though it's co-distilled with a Malay. I'm assuming it's in the Gulf style. A little certainly goes a long way and it takes a bit of getting used to, but I'm finding this aspect of it quite addictive. You can smell the quality here. Very worthy of being a top shelf oud.

Did you try all 4 ?

Aged Burmese (Muattag) - Muzaffar Atarji

Beautifully balanced woody, earthy, sweet, and slightly animatic notes. The dry down lingers nicely on the skin.

Hello Ouddicts 🙂

Today I swiped :

MesOud Levent 🪵🔥💨😶‍🌫️🍫🍦
MesOud Havva 🥭🍌🍦🌊💦🪵
Craft Oud King Vijaya 💨🍌🍦

MesOud Levent becoming my favorite Phili oil … this oil got a special Oudiness!
The balance of Incense, Smokiness, cleanliness is perfect
This oil got everything I want in a Oud oil … this is why I love oud !
Even if it is clean that raw character is really beautiful and manly …
I can definitely smell the quality of the wood used here … that Resinous smell is something I find only in MesOud oils but in Levent this is Even more noticeable …
Such amazing oil … I need to get more !

MesOud Havva is just soooo beautiful !
I don’t know what to say…
This is beauty In an oil …
Think about Vanilla , Banana and mangoes in tropical landscapes…
Creamy Oudiness with light low heating incensy subitisme sensation
I also get The iodine silani signature of oceanic breeze …
This Silani oil got the best part of the two different Silani style … Tropically and Oceanic !
The best Silani I tried with Adhrijaya…
I can’t imagine when this oil will be aged …

CO King Vijaya is a very nice Silani when you wearing it alone ! Don’t swipe it next to Havva …
But it is a good choice for a lighter version of Havva … in similar vein in terms of tropical profile banana vanilla incense … but no oceanic here …
It is a very nice oil anyway

I wish you all a a very Gooud swipe Ouddicts 😇

Havva is "Havahhhhhhhhhhhh!" to me. Truly exceptional. (@mesOUD oil is once in a lifetime stuff if you haven't tuned into that yet, but i suspect you have).
