Pursat Gold - MesOud. Like a golden honey. Very, very nice Cambodi.

Muzaffar Atarji - Aged Vietnamese
It starts out Smokey and woody. Then has a pungent peanut scent. Not medicinal nutty like some Indonesian ouds, but pure peanuts. The longer it lasts on the skin and clothes the scent gets tempered and the peanut smell fades into earth and spice.

HM Royal Yunnan by @SULAYM
This is a loud dark, and unapologetically primal oil. The piercing opening notes are not for the faint heart. This is one for the true oud connoisseurs, those willing to take the journey and let the oil unfold at its own pace. Patience is rewarded as the storm of animalic, barnyard intensity settles into leather smoked Laos like facets, laced with a whisper of dark cherry.
It’s addictive,I find myself constantly returning to my wrist, getting suprising notes as it evolves. The richness that emerges is unlike anything else, smokey, citrusy nuances woven into a velvety vintage backbone, where cherries and shadows mingle in perfect harmony. HM Royal Yunnan doesn’t whisper, it stands in its own category, very different and very loud.

Feel Oud - Virgin KS.
Wood from Kalimantan and Sumatra - hard to tell from its write-up if it's a co-distill or
What an oil! Bright, vibrant, shimmering like looking upon a still mirrored pool/pond. Very high quality to me
For the next 2-3 weeks I'm gonna be revisiting my MesOud oils

Sultan Hijau of Habzoud - wild Terrenganu (relatively recently distilled):
I am sad because it is not really applying 'Oud of the day' today but sniffing the empty bottle with the very last speck at the bottom shaken out vigorously - all gone too quickly - I am not a very good collector but a very good user 🙂 - if I love it I use it up,
and Sultan Hijau is my favorite oil from Habzoud so far (out of 7 I've tried, including the 'Qadeems') - indeed a superb celebration of Green Jungle' Incense, with a fresh and lively maritime-spice edge - of driftwood, salty air and wet stones, and a whiff of moist soil and roots. The secondary 'lemon cake' overtone (for which I personally do not care) has been diminishing in a few months since I've got it.
The most important (and what I really appreciate and love in an excellent Oud) - is the central unique incensy- vaporous-'mushroomy' character and less of the auxillary notes - of leather or fruits and flowers (if I'd want flowers, I'd buy flowers);
'Sultan Hijau' is full and loud with that gorgeous singular incense note as a central character, interpreted in crisp, bright manner, and with a minimum of secondary undertones, which are beautifully mineralic and cool bitter- personally favoured (and no funk or sweet distractions). I need to buy it again, and maybe this time - extra bottle to keep and let it age, as I am certain it will be growing in its charms.

When sproaty mentioned this I realized I had a bit of it left over, almost a reference sample, and I've just taken a sniff. Now I've never smelled Al Jannahs from Habz and as I recall Mighty Mizo was Incense grade Mizoram material which was distilled with Assamese hydrosol, I believe it was a super small batch.
It's good stuff, but it's not in the same league, at least for me as Oud Safeer, which is a sweeter clean Hindi and Sher Shah, which is more petrol-y almost giving me hints of that Silani industrial smell. I might have already rec'ed them before but have you had a chance to try them out ? If you have already then ignore my question, but if you end up getting some Mighty Mizo, I'd highly, highly recommend getting a sample of both Oud Safeer and Sher Shah while you're at it, I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Yes. I have a TINY bit of the original (First release) and it is truly regal, but it was so pricey I mostly just open it and take a whiff.

I have a sample and this is spot on. This is one when you want to seriously EXPERIENCE an Oud - not as a background or wallpaper but in your face. I got animalistic but not fecal - I wore it one hour and then had to shower for an event in mixed company, and didnt get to the drydown. I will soon. This is definitely a double black diamond (ski run metaphor)!

Ok, yeah "nutty" is a good way to describe it. I almost bought a bottle of it and after having received a sample of it with my recent order of Tigerwood, I am glad I did not. When I compare it with Borneo 50k, Borneo Reborn, and Borneo 2000, it doesn't really fit in with them. I figured the original (actual) Borneo 3000 must have been much different, and probably more in line with the others I just mentioned.

Sounds great! I will try this tomorrow!

I do have samples of both actually. Oud Safeer is still a tiny bit band-aid-ish for me. I wish I could get past that note. Al Janah doesn't have that at all. Just straight to the sweet Hindi. Sher Sha I had not tried for a very long time. I could definitely see myself getting more of this. It has that burnt honey soft chocolate note that I'm loving so much from Alamgir 1.
