Khmer is really nice.
AH Akkad today. maybe the darkest oud oil I've ever smelt. it conjures up the image of decaying wood in the ancient jungle. very comforting...

Is anybody familiar with this oil ?
In my limited experience, I haven't smelt an oil quite like this one yet. This, to me, smells like a woody floral oud mukhallat rather than a pure oud oil. Very round in aroma. Is this what aging does to an oil ?

Swiped one of my very first pure oud
Thai Spice
Either Russian Adam or someone in his camp sourced this, presumably from a Thai distillery.
When I first got it, I was shocked at the burnt rubber smell, but today, it has smoothed out that note to nil.
This oil kicks booty!
Well done!
Reminds me of EO Maroke Muah with a touch of fruit, and the color contrasts in Oud Royale no.5

Around 3am, suffering a spell of insomnia caused perhaps by too much caffeine, I decided to indulge in a few swipes of AA Bhamo - an oud that has definitely taken me some time to grasp (and I suppose I am not done yet!). Last night I resolved to recline and listen to the oil, take deep breaths and let my mind wander. I must admit that until today I was a little skeptical whenever I read reports of the so-called “mind buzz” effect of certain oud oils. Well...all I can say is that I felt “the buzz” alright (mind you I laid on 3 generous swipes). In a matter of minutes, I “felt” my brainwaves down-shifting into a lower RPM. I would describe the “buzz” as nearly identical to the sensation of that sudden “falling off” feeling that occurs when you are deep in meditation - not a gradual transition, but an immediate and unmistakable switch (from beta waves to alpha?). I’m intrigued.

Green Papua and Pattani LTD - an at home version of Halime Sultan 
So far, a superb combo ;-) Perhaps next time Port Moresby + Pattani
Pattani's sharp earthy green jungly incense pairs well with green liquory sweet --> creating a sort of sweet and sour green that is oddly indulging. Keep in mind two separate swipes side by side, I didn't actually combine...

I have it, but due to a loss of my sense of smell that is only very slowly returning, I can't fully appreciate it yet. However, wearing it on several different days seems to have coincided with the cat that regularly visits me looking at my face and suddenly getting terrified of me and running away, spooked for hours. Bizarre.

Finally tried Gyrinops 0 thanks to all the love it gets here. Powerful. Dark! Dry Incense and humid jungle notes. I’ve been trying my first Agar Aura oils(hugely educational) and they can be so subtle that this one feels like it punched me in the face!
