Do you get so called 'mind buzz' from any oud oils?

nope. I enjoy wearing them and smelling but don't get any sorta 'other' effect as others attest to
Saying that, I've had my fair share of mind buzz through other forms

Feel Oud Pa-Papua
Aquilaria Filaria all-in-all or mostly in part.
A lot of top and middle performance, has a resinous base, no barn, no smoke.
It’s not dark, nor any menthol.
Filarias used to move me more, soul stirring even, but after becoming very familiar with the scent, the romance is gone. I “fall” more for Maroke Gyrinops lately. But I still get an oudy pleasure from Filaria.

If I close my eyes and inhale deeply and slowly from a fine agarwood or sandalwood, I do become transfixed and deeply calmed. experiencing the development of the scent with my eyes closed and focused attention feels like a kind of daydream. I think this same state could be achieved by breathing alone but the oil kind of guides you there. I have no idea if this counts as a mind buzz.

Today I swiped RPP's 1999 Vintage Combodian Co-Distill. It's leather, sour fruit, smoke, powdery sweet, hints of mint . . . a darker profile, the color of blackish red. Cambodi seems to be a varietal less explored in my experience thus far, and I'm curious to see how this oil from RPP compares to others from the region.

Today I'm enjoying Habz's Qamar. It was sold out but I loved my sample of this so much that I convinced generous Habz to sell me his last 1gram 🙂
I adore the unique bitter accord of this Burmese oil . . . interesting that others describe it as visually green, my impression is more reddish; the background notes of mace and pollen add a spicy sweetness and create a warmer tonality . . . that's what my nose-brain has to say . . .

Al Rubaie (Al Shareef). I ration this oil carefully as I adore it and I don't have much. Today I felt it is time to indulge. What an engaging and intriguing oil, really an olfactory adventure, but with subtlety not brashness. I'll skip heating wood today to avoid olfactory interference with the oil. 🙂

Manek II (A. Assam): I was squeezing some limes and other citruses to make fresh juice earlier for iftar today. After washing, my hand somehow smelled like a leathery citrus. It immediately reminded me of the top-mid notes of Manek II. So I reached for it after the meal.
Zakir has another oil called Kalakassi Aagaz which has even a better lemon/lime peel facet. Both are maturing quite beautifully.

Habz Mukhmil - after wearing 2 hindis from Agarwood Assam earlier this week (Baraka Taraka and Oud Naga), I'm hoping to notice subtleties and differentiate Mukhmil . . .
Whereas ON was blue cheese into high-pitched oud woodiness, and BT was milder fruity-sweet barn, Mukhmil plays in between those two;. it opens sharper than BT but less pungent than ON - hay is the loudest note to my nose, supported by lactic creaminess, lots to enjoy about Habz's hindi.

ASO Al Shareef IV
Reminds me of Malay Encens in the opening, the heart is an uncharted mix from the blend of two oils, dry down puts me in a private chamber where I’m going through the final carving stage of a sackful of Malaysian oudh chips.
