Oud of the Day

To me it represents the Green Kyara because I have actually tried Green Kyara from Taha’s personal collection in his home. I haven’t physically tried black Kyara.
This in my opinion surpasses all those Vietnam oils which a person has to sell a kidney or another body part for.

MUSTAQBIL (ASO). I received this oil last week and have worn it most days since then. The unusual opening reminds me of Fajr (a kind of immortelle-citrus rind opening?), another organic oil from ASO, but Mustaqbil is smoother and more complex and that unusual opening yields pretty quickly to . . . I'm honestly having a most difficult (but delightful) time naming the notes. I reviewed ASO's description which suggests bamboo in the beginning (I concur), but thereafter I get a wonderful smooth kaleidoscope of . . . sunshine-warmed tree sap, sweetened ginger, gentle yellow flowers, melting amber resin, milky reeds, fresh oak leaves . . . these are soaring and rather bright notes, but the oil is very aromatically dense and longevity is all day. It really is like a complete perfume. No harsh or smoky notes, nothing off in any way. Is it oudy? Yes; but although I think of oudiness as a base accord, here it's higher up. I've thoroughly enjoyed exploring this oil, both in trying to "figure it out," and just simply the aesthetic experience of its fragrance. A very satisfying wear, and well worth the moderate price. Am really happy to have it, it is a genuinely new profile in my little collection and discovering this reminds me again why I love oud! Great work Jawed & co. at @Al Shareef Oudh!

I couldn't agree more. I wore this today as well. Aso told me this is a typical malinau profile although it's so much more novel a smell than any malinaus I've smelled before. It's more this sharp gingery green yellow opening with this undertone of Amber cinnamon. Almost like a vetivery thing going on - with some cedar. I love this too - but it's totally unique. Like no other ouds I've smelled.

Okay! Thanks for sharing that insight fromASO!
Also am glad you and I had similar impressions, as this profile is so unusual (to me anyway) I was doubting my impressions. And you know what? I was gonna write of vetivery and cedary notes too, so apparently our noses are aligned. LOL!!! Mustaqbil is such a satisfying oil also because while the notes are a cheery-uplifting sort of combo, there is a core oudiness and the oil is by no means a lightweight, it's complex with lots of heft and depth (say it 5 times fast).

Mixed TajOud's Khudie (199) + Kyarazen's Al Ghaliyah 2019...

Left it for 10 days aside and swiped today ...

I couldn't have thought of something better .... what an impact the Assam Oud had on that Composition... used under 0.50ml each.... now tempted to make more of this....

Respected Dan, Taj's oils and Misk blend layering is my favourite nowadays.
 
TajOud Imani

It’s like there’s no heavy molecules to hold the scent down. Upon application the aroma is on a steady mission to dissipate, and that which doesn’t fly away, gets absorbed by the skin.

So it’s a race against time to keep sniffing-in the inherent aroma of the Oudh chips, before it’s all gone.

Nice profile, that gradually settles very close to the skin.

EO OR04 + B3K + ALD Russian Oud

Happiness Bubble [emoji7]

I hope ALD continue making Oud focused Parfums like Russian Oud .... their recent launches have been Musk focused which isn't bad but I miss Oud centric ones

went the economy route today with People's Pursat. Meh - it's good but it's so thin smelling, feel like it's magic is on the front end and that goes away too quickly. While it lasts, it's an incredible aroma. Airy, floral, coconut, white beach sand, pink florals with blue hues, somewhat creamy. But I have to say, I've been a bit spoiled with other cambodi's recently like Muhib which every time I come back to is fuego. I forget who said it, but that one truly smells like a super low heat 9 of some cambodi on my subby.
 
Kanglei (2018, Agarwood Assam) - herbaceous (crushed leaves and twigs), sun-dry red chilli, woody, incensy, leathery, bitter medicinal with a tangential mild sweetness and a mild mineral/metalic smell, tobacco, hay and relatively very little barnyard, alluvial soil, fenugreek and few more things. Not sure (since I haven't had any for a long time) there is probably a green tea like bitterness as well. I'm detecting all sorts of things - probably because I have not worn it for 8+ months. One of many reasons why I love oud.
