This is how I feel about RPP Phnum Samkoh. It's not fecal at all, or stinky, but it doesn't have that ethereal, light, mostly-top (in the opinion of some) gen 3 thing going on either.Swiped Tigerwood Royale
Lovely Malaysian. Not barny, but not new generation either. Distilled and aged with no extremes. Mature, resinous and beautiful.

Oud Angkor from NEFER•Tem
Very nice Cambodian , lasts many hours and really rolls right out of the copper pot and into a deeper lasting base Oud scent with just a touch of the copper twang left
I really like this vendor. Straight forward not a 160$ bottle of Oud and a 300$ story like some but a straight forward experience.
Wood was soaked for this much time , this type of pot , this long of a distillation.
Very honest and fair vendor

In this heat I have been mostly wearing sandalwood, ambergris and rose (sorry Joe ) oils instead of oud but today I made an exception.
Royal Nha Trang by IO.
Lovely oil - fresh scent, not really minty though, has nice depth, clean and open, slightly fruity, much less of the smoky character that is in Hoi An. Still I miss the stronger "natural shellac lacquer on ancient furniture" vibe of Hoi An. This one is for that rare wear when you crave for a sweet and clean experience.
But I have to say that even as such it would be better suited for cooler days, most ouds would be actually. Back to sandalwood!

No reasoning at all actually, just that some oils are off putting to me in hot weather and some aren't.

All day work,nearly 40©in Slovenia.Came home late and saw your post...
What should one do,to make a day worthy?
I applied exactly same oud,but you hitted to a point!
I discovered that Nha trang has uplifting effect,when you put just a tiny drop of Hoi an a bit under Nha trang.
In my case former is on mustages and later on the beard.
If you want to do the same,you need.to grow a beard
But thanks for suggestion,I applied a bit of rose oil too,its blooowiing(in the wind);

I dont think soo.As I know,some oils are yin and some yang...yin ican have a cooling effect(grasses,flowers),and generaly strong ouds are yang(warming effect).No?
Verviter is cooling for sure(;

The Ceylon Royale 2
Part of the scent smells like a crystalline precipitate of Walla Patte resin
Earlier today I tested my Deer Musk Tincture. It is stronger than a year ago. That’s very pleasing.
Several hand washings later, and it’s still in my skin. I feel like adding more grains to make it much stronger even. Hmmmmmmmmm

I mentioned the temperature as during my bike ride I will get warmer which will make the oil more pronounced on my skin as opposed to sitting around my cool house. I noticed the oil all around, the effect of cycling ~20mph in wind was blowing the scent all around me, awesome experience 🙂
Today I wore IO's Viet Zephyr, another great oil.

Has it stopped evaporating?
I don't think this was one of the problematic ones. From memory it was Encens Malay which I just took the cap off, rubbed my hands across the bit where the applicator 'stopper end' sits into the bottle and it left a streak of oil on my hand. Unscrewing the cap was a little tough too, like the oil had congealed or something 🙁
Viet Zephyr seems okay in that regards

In my case it will have to be on two parts of my wrist 😛
Also - in my experience rose oils are one of the few oils which really smell gorgeous when worn on clothes. Although I do love a rose dry down on skin.
I have IO's rose oil sample and am really enjoying it.
I can still smell some of Nha Trang now. Good longevity.
Oh and I completely agree that there must be a reason why certain oils feel good to wear in heat (Yin yang as you say). I only meant that no reasoning is used on my part apart from imagining how a scent would feel like if worn in the present circumstances. Relying more on imagination than on knowledge here.
Certain oils really need to be experienced in cooler air to make them come alive (like ASO's Kaashef for me, too heavy in hot weather).
Btw good to have you here on ouddict 😉
Slava vojvodini kranjski!
