Oud of the Day

[Oudamberlove]

Today...
A funky Cambodi (EO Kambodi X)
and
a sugary sweet Cambodi (Factory oil)

Cambodi oud is really good stuff!!

Oud Royale Sri Lanka

Aging well, not developing any strange notes
and performs with good aromatic power.

You think this oil will get even better with age?

AA Koh Chang. Likened to Hainan. Bitter, citrus (kumquat), gently madicinal, a little sharp, faintly (but hardly) sweet. Borders on "green" (crushed leaves, freshly broken, moist branches and stems) smelling without committing.

Caught wind of some not-too-sweet sugar cookies after the opening before it went "full bitter".

Additional depth, or "body", maybe "volume" to the bright, sharp, bitterness means satisfying richness, while still being dry and medicinal.

Said to be from a very old batch of wood.

VERY different than FO Koh Chang Intense.

For my taste, no.
I like the edgy bite of Walla Patta, it’s almost a trademark of it’s profile. To see it mellowed out or rounded too much would be a shame.
A newly distilled Walla could benefit from a curing/settling period.

I bought 1g of this oil on the suggestions and remarks of other respected oudicts on this site. I have been nursing this amazing oil, every time I swipe I think “I need to order a full bottle before it’s all gone” I am now finally wearing this amazing oil , reassured that I won’t run out anytime soon as that full sized bottle should arrive any day now!

Oud Royale 2004 on the left
Oud Ehab on the right

OR ‘04 has such a mentholic glow
hovering above a classic Papua profile.
You can sense that it’s very aged,
makes my head spin😕

I can see the reference to OR85
but just a small percent.

I will in a couple days. I’ll report back. I am most interested to see how that OR85/ER85 drydown similarity presents itself. Is it present from first sniff or a scent until later stages. Is it a shadow of that note or same strength? Shades of it lower or higher... it will be a fun study nonetheless and I love wearing green oils anyways. One of the very few oil types I actually wear as a scent. All other oud are purely for meditation practice and critical sniffing.

Hey Rasoul how are you brother... did you manage to sample or test OR04 (Papua)... looking forward to your views...

Anyone else has sampled that please share views...

I love this Sri Lankan
Definitely an amazing value for this quality of oil from IO

Feel Oud Pa-Papua

Aquilaria Filaria

Cinnamon, anise, earth, minerals, oudy

after smelling this oud, the KZ Merauke stick
that I lit earlier, is making a lot more sense

Today I have a family lunch and it had to be my favorite region Papua

Eo Port Papua couple of swipes on the beard and Eo Sultani 1990 just a tiny dab (cant afford to let this one get over)

Love that green oudi bubble around me

Yes. It is to my nose and experience very similar to the original GP. Even the last GP batch is the oil that comes closest to it. Less top notes, more aged base. Similar spice, touch cooling green notes. Lovely oil. I was hoping for more tenacity and touch more top notes. But can’t complain at the price. Lovely oil.

on one hand, Ensar's Assam Organic 2005. Perhaps my favourite Hindi
on t'other - Kombrad Kambodi by EO. It's good, very pleasing to smell.
