Qadeem and Kaashef are so good. Really curious what you think of them.
I've customized the size 0.3 to 0.5 depending on how light the pocket with each gram ordered [emoji23]
I'll sure share my views on them [emoji4]

Hindi Kadeem Attar Mohammed ayub on left hand a cheesy barney oud and Super Malinou oud from Majid Iterji on the right. This one is more incensier than Borneo 3000 of EO "my feeling".
In the chest Iris Noir EO, it's long lasting in this Dubai weather.

Agar Aura L’essentiel Cambodgien
Reminds me of Trat Selvagio and Almas Oud.
The focus of the distillation was auxiliary notes, I guess that’s the norm for Factory Oud😀

Excerpts from Taha:
- a ton of auxiliaries are integrated into an oil's scent profile even before the actual distillation starts: right at the soak stage.
- depending on the species of wood, and the method of soaking (or lack thereof) implemented, the scent profile can be shaped according to what the distiller had in mind (sadly, its usually left to chance in the case of run-of-the-mill oils).
- an important point: the 'flavor'+intensity of auxiliaries is usually directly correlated to the amount of oleoresin in the wood. With more resinated wood e.g. King Koh Kong (wood soaked for 10 days as well), the effect will be different. Zero ripe fruit in this oil. Of course there were other factors as well, and other auxiliaries too. When one compares L'Essentiel Cambodgien to King Koh Kong, I'm sure 99% of folks would guess the latter is a steel brew and the latter a steel brew, whereas its actually the opposite. There are of course other factors too, but right now we're focusing on the first LOT lesson, The Soak.
- Different species will present different scent notes, even if the same single set of parameters are applied to Specie A and Specie B.
- Auxiliary notes are not necessarily a bad (or good) thing. It all depends on what the aim was.
- It is worth noting that generally speaking, auxiliary notes play a less crucial role in high grade oils (i.e. extracted from high grade wood) than lesser grade oils. The reason is two-fold: (1) soak-related auxiliary notes are automatically more muted in the case of oils extracted from higher grade wood, and (2) auxiliary notes are more important for "making up" for the gaps in the case of oils extracted from lesser grades.
- Finally, let's not forget that when raw agarwood is burned, auxiliary compounds other than the oleoresin (wood volatile compounds) ARE also released. Strictly speaking, those auxiliary compounds are not foreign elements. But by the same token, other auxiliary notes are indeed foreign. But.. there is no sign in the desert that sayeth thou shalt not eat stone (translation: who says you can't enjoy a good tasteful barnyard note?!)

I am not sure I understand any better after reading that unless this is just a way of saying parameters of distillation have an effect on the product. one could imagine an oil distilled with some baseline set of techniques, against which tweaks could be tried in order to judge what notes they add or subtract. How does one figure out what is normal and what us auxiliary? Lots and lots of experience I guess - you begin to see what is constant and what is variable?

In a nutshell......
Auxiliary notes are not the intrinsic notes of the oleoresin in a particular agarwood.
I imagine that heating the oleoresin/chip at low temperatures, then gradually increasing the temperature will give the most accurate display of it’s intrinsic notes.

The ones I got was better. I had that doubt by when I bought a sample of EO new Borneo and compare I was a bit convinced. I had their Malaysian oil which too was a ok. Their newly distilled ones might be tricky. I didnt buy after that.

[QUOTE="With NT Ltd it’s like a faint/wispy note that resembles peanuts in the shell but it dissipates.[/QUOTE]
A peanuts in a shell note isn't quite flattering for an Oud to hear about itself lol but in a strangely ouddic way it seems okay when it combines with the overall smell. Another respected Oud member described it to have a slight metallic note. Yet another mentioned a sort of initial funk...Wonder if it's all the same singularity that's being spoken about. As to the origin of it - the wood itself, distillation parameter, pot type, soak or non, perhaps only those distilling can shed light.
IO's NT U in any case does not seem to have the same note.
