Must be Hareer as we haven't done a Hareem, would make an interesting name for a different type of fragrance

Its the darndest thing - I just now found a sample vial labeled "sample A," and realized that it was one of the vials from the Blind Oud Test of Fall 2018. This vial had found its way into my instrument case, and still had about .1g left in it!

I can't resist the fun of blind sampling it again. It's a barny, chocolately, thick-sweet and brown-hued oud. I'm thinking Bangladeshi, perhaps Al Shareef.

UPDATE: I checked, it was ASO Hareem.
 
Ceylon Royale 1 on left - very nice. Probably one of the finest oils I own. So pretty with loads of incense and creamy vanilla. Some oceanic notes too.

Then north papua gyrinops. An oldie from IO - has the spice and bite of some of those newer malays like yasuke but with the theme of a definitive green oud oil. Really cool and unique to me!
Ceylon No 1 .... wow!!

I always want to experience Taha's take on Walla Patta....

Applied my ceylon oil I bought locally. After all exposure with Ouds I can vouch this is Srilankan done indian way of soaking. The opening is musky and strong (unlike barn of indian oud) here its alty and oceanic with a drydown close to some of the sinking srilankan I had burned. To me it was grab of the year, meantime I wish they applied a bit of technique like our vendors here, if so this would have nailed it as the wood used for this one was indeed a real good grade one.

Today I am wearing a few swipes of a stunning Hindi oud oil called Funk Meister by oudbase
This oil opens up with an earthy/mineral and rather beautiful slightly smokey vibe. Fresh pipe tobacco nuances creep in along with a slight hint of barn. (maybe closer to hay than full on barn)

I was then slightly perplexed and expecting more funk from an oil called “Funk Meister” But around 10 minutes in the barn elements of this oil become much more prevalent on my skin and I am left with a really beautiful smokey, barny and dark chocolate affair with a rather sumptuous oudy base that made my mouth water.

The performance on this oil is great, it jumps off the skin, seems to last and has a real power behind it.
If I could sum up this oil briefly it would be ***Bitter smokey dark chocolate*** A very nice oud oil from Oudbase MashaAllah. Thumbs up from me .

Just swiping Mutahid for the second day in a row!
This oil is amazing !! I think this was my first Tola purchase . This oil lasts a full 24+hours on cloth. Just amazing opening and the dry down... pure oud base expression
It’s been a while since I used this oil, forgot how amazing
Thank you Habz for all your help in my journey
