Ok Jzkk.

I use my oils on cloth too, as it helps with increasing the longevity of the scent I find. I like to smell the oud around me during the day rather than having to bring my wrist to my nose.
But I know a fellow ouddict who uses oud on clothes too. Just yesterday he mentioned to me that even after a wash the dry down from Luang was still present....

May be i should give it a try as well

I would highly recommend it.Just make sure you're not wearing very light colours as you may stain them!

Yes brother I usually use ouds from EO, ASO, Habz and others on my body nd clothes....


Only Agar Aura I use it purely for relaxation and mind medicine because of the uplifting, relaxing capabilities i experience from these oils...

AA cintaku today
A very nice smelling oil
I have yet to get anything different or special from the AA oils I have and honestly don’t understand what people are talking about.
Some smell nice and that’s it ,some I paid good money for and they smell just ok and 1 was just bad honestly and was taken off his site before selling out and I was just wondering why release a burnt oil that was a bad distillation and charge so much?
2g bottle a laung and jerri 2.5 for sale if anyone is interested both no longer available missing 1 swipe each.
 
Al Hashimi - Kakaya
I can't point out the region of this oil without reading the description from Al Hashmi website.

it's a Tri-distillation between Malay Malaccensis, Hirta, and Cambodian Crassna.
and I'm having a hard time describing the fragrance of this oil but I'll give it a shot.
sweet fruity but not that fruity we encounter in our daily life. and it somewhat reminds me of gum.
and... a lot more. I can't think of good words to describe this one. this is a weirdly beautiful oil.
if you have Kakaya, how would you describe it?

It may be that his "genre" of oils just don't suit you. Just a thought though: AA oils are usually sold much "fresher/younger" than many other distillers' well aged products. Also, a weird thing happens with the senses with some of these oils, and I don't know why. I don't know how long you've had these oils, and how often you've used them, but they tend to develop nicely over time. I bought AA Kog Chang. I wasn't excited about it at first. About a month later, I would consider it a "go-to." When I first got it, its opening was very tangy with nice and resinous/incense-y drydown. Later it developed a lovely, green, herbal note ealier in the progression that made the overall experience much more desirable. Similarly with Perampera. It cost almost double what Koh Chang cost. At first, it smelled to me JUST LIKE KOH CHANG, just with the volume turned up a notch. I sampled it numerous times and was so convinced, I contacted the distiller to see if there was a mix-up. Then, after maybe 2-3 weeks , BAM! It clearly evolved into having a hyper-bitter opening that quickly shifts to one of the juiciest floral arrangements; especially being preceded by such bitterness. I kid you not, I think I teared up. Anyway. Could be it's just not your thing, but you MIGHT want to just wait a bit and see. Just a suggestion.

I think when I spend top dollars I want top grade oud not early release or burnt smell.
When the oils cost more then any one else‘S my expectation is the highest And maybe that’s what it is. AA just cost twice as much but it’s actually more hit or miss and the miss is a total miss and the hit while good doesn’t merit the extra price. Just my 2 cents
 
With all due respect to @Anwar and @EJayB, who I have both had awesome interactions with, I think we should probably start a new thread outside of Oud of the Day for a discussion of price/value ratio or vendor bashing. As a newbie I was extremely disappointed to read the “Kyara/Kinam:is it Oud thread” go to bashing of a (seemingly bad) vendor. I’m concerned this thread might veer off in that direction. Right now, I am wondering to myself whether I should post my Oud of the Day, because it might cause someone to get upset or mad? Not a very welcoming feeling at all.

Nevertheless, here it is—I’m wearing Agar Aura Miri Royal this morning. Smells just slightly different to Royal Malinau, which I think is the best Oud I have ever experienced, with the only exception maybe being EO Nha Trang Ltd. which is a different region (and double the price.). Super happy I was able to get Miri, thank you @oudlover
 
Yesterday, I spent all day analyzing samples of the new oils from Al Hashimi. Some amazing oils here and the Brunei wood is really awesome too. I will post my impressions over in the Al Hashimi section sometime this week once I’ve spent a little more time with them.

No one here is mad or “bashing “so please feel free to tell us all what today’s scent you have Chosen . If we can’t be honest here and it’s only about pleasantries it’s kind of like giving every child that participation trophy And telling them they are a winner. I don’t think my opinion equals any bashing.
Truly Sorry if I’ve offended Anyone
I thought everyone described the experience in oud of the day ? should we all just list what we wear but leave no opinions Or impressions?
I appreciate everyone’s opinions even when different then my own.
My oud of the day is .....

I didn't understand your post as bashing at all.They were your honest subjective experiences with a brand, which is what these forums are here for you to express no?

Like you alluded to, if a bargain basement frag disappoints you can afford to be shtum about it and move on, but when its top end product you are well within your rights to express your opinion I think.The last thing we want is for this forum to become an echo chamber!
