Oud of the Day

[Hakim]

I would love to hear what you think of the SD series

Not good at reviews but here it goes

Both are 2016 distillations, very thick dark oils due to continuous stirring on magnetic stirrers.
SD8/59 - At the start theres a dark sweet preserved plum aroma and some smoothened out barn(will be nicer in a few years time), heart notes and drydown are like gently heated Cambodi/Trat chips to reveal the resinous aroma.
SD20/59 - This one is quite linear yet the nicer one to me, has a very slight herbal scent which leaves quickly to reveal slightly smoky scent of Cambodi/Trat chips heated at higher temperature like on a mica plate, this lasts for almost 5+ hours even in our 60++% humidity here

Friday Prayers Oud - Pampering Mode on

Heavy Hitters

AA Malaya - this is benchmark oil for any Malaysian oil in my head ... this is just wow!!

EO Guallam Liquide- Medicinal Vietnamese vibe very difficult to explain since not very common experience...

Habzoud Muhib - I'm usually not a big fan of Cambodian Oud ....but Habib always surprises me ... first with Dhahab and now with Muhib .... dont remember I got a green vibe on a Cambodi earlier...

Regret not ordering a bottle with Fahad

EO B3K. After a blind buy I realised I am not a big fan of Srilankan and Borneo profile lucky it was just an ml. I just dont get it.

Meantime side by side sniff of Meitei (this this relaxes me and one oil that connects me to my inner self).

LMK Eau de Vietnam, it's become more matured but dark green on me. Tiny drop goes long way. I enjoy for pairing.

AA Kuzen. Red and green, simultaneously, both distinct, without bleeding into one another.

Yesterday it was AA Koh Chang (intro level) + AWI Root Sandal swipes. Worked well together.

 

[Sproaty]

Rising Phoenix's Hainan oil and Al Shareef's Al Malik Malyizi

still full of cold and can't really smell anything, so such a waste to swipe some of the most expensive ouds that I have!!!!

I have a buddy that constantly sends me stuff to try, but he doesn’t mention where they’re from.
This is just some of it:

wow giving feedback about them will be a full time job. ha ha

My SOTD
Oud Yaqoub (new batch)
Not quite the “Oud Sultani” of Thai
but I like swiping this oil
I get a Thai profile that isn’t your typical factory profile. Notes that are more true to it’s region, and enough resinated wood used to distill to give the base a resinous fullness.

Yes...with my schedule lately, I haven’t even tried all the woods.

Habzoud- Fahad .... if you like Walla Patta oils you will surely love this one .... clean, reminiscent of the Walla patta wood in the opening ... later settles down well ....

Not a big projector but amazing longetivity

I love this one. Are there others that share a similar tone? I get a big similarity to a Borneo oil like b3k bc of the vanillic dry down.

What other gyrinops are there?

Ceylon Royal 2 by IO ... dont know if it still available but it is also a fantastic oil ...

Heard "Ratna" by Azhman Oud is also a good Walla Patta

Gyrinops 0 by LMK

Abu Tomiga one of our fellow Ouddict has a few Gyrinops oils including Malinau and SL profile for sale.
