Oud of the Day

Batalat Oud - Hindi Forest SQ

I’m on a wild ride with ouds today!

It starts off with slight barn and hay. But then plum and cherries permeate the scent. Then leathery and smoky spice follow. Very sumptuous.

Sounds beautiful.

JS Emperor of Kedah V1
Top 10 oil for me, one of the best if not the best from JS, purple honey butter vanilla milk, when people said EOC is kinamic, the drydown of this on fabrics smells like spicy sweet kinam from the vial. If you got a chance to try this one don't hesitate because everyone tried it with me rate it 10/10.

Couple of multiple day sessions:

Sink King Shan - Agar Aura
Top grade, piercing and hyper focused. Very nice but for my tastes, Myitkyina 4k is more enjoyable.

Thai Zen - AlHind Oud
I love the complexity in this with my favourite part being the Viet incense phase. This is a gem in my eyes.

Brother..I need to ask. Have you counted or do you know how many ouds are in your collection? I'm blown away daily by you talking about a totally different oil. Sometimes multiple oils a day. When did you start collecting?

Thanks for your honest question. I started my journey on January 1st 2025 (go figure) after smelling Oud off a colleague which reminded me of my grandfather. Then it began. After a manual count I have approximately 156 oil/attars/mukhallats with 80% being ouds. I think I’ve finished around 20. I can’t stop it. I can only hope to contain it. A lot of the fact I have a lot is that I live in a region where these ouds and attars are “at an arm’s reach” - readily available and plenty. This isn't including the Oud chips, perfumes and (incense).

This forum has helped me a lot with learning and buying from the artisans on here. I get a foreign perspective and I’ve benefitted a lot from that.

Also, I’m gobsmacked by some of the prices on rare oils - and shocked at the amount some people with more leverage have at their disposal to spend. I mean Ultra high like $3000 for 2.5 grams of Oud/attars/perfume/incense.

Hey, @mobyus, I'm just less expensive than many because I'm relatively new, at least on ouddict, and it was suggested to me that I keep my blends affordable. I purchase much of my materials from local vendors, and they're not inexpensive for you or me (though they are VERY generous with weights!).

Penetration pricing.

Wow! You are very fortunate.🙏

ASQ - Smoked Agarwood oil

This Smoked agarwood oil carries a deep, resinous warmth where charred wood intertwines with balsamic sweetness, leathery spice, and a lingering veil of incense-like smoke. It’s light yet dense. It’s not as sticky or jammy as I thought - which makes it more wearable. It has a buttery feel to it too. Very beautiful. There’s a lighter perfume that came with it to add this to it. But I prefer the full on experience.

Wow! You are very fortunate.🙏

I’m up to maybe 50 so far and started early this year — so thank you for helping me feel normal. I’m also gonna print out this post and hide it in my storage area in case my wife decides to take count someday 😂

EO Purple Kinam

Big Big oil!

@Olfactory Nomad Following your path, though I’m on the other side of the equator and entering Fall weather. I couldn’t agree more!

Kinabalu Gold 2 by Alhind Oud (@AlHind Oud)

I have had this oil for a while now and decided to give it a wear today. I love the bright, fruity opening and the resinous woody dry-down. I pleasure to own, and wear.

AlKhudair Oud - Aged Burmese

Resinous warmth with smoky leather, earthy woods, and a subtle thread of dark honeyed sweetness that’s so delightful.

Garo Jing today!

I love taking break and coming back to ouds. Also, after a long round of sinus infections, antibiotics, and eventually nasal rinses, I think my sinuses are at their best ever, as I've been picking up on a lot of top notes that felt muted before.

Garo Jing is still unapologetic and barny but there's also a not so pleasant swampy note I've smelled in some oils along with a very nice, umami tea note. It's a nice oil especially for the price. My bed sheets always smell like it for days after.
