What should be of more concern is the exposure to oxygen, and storage away from heat and light.
Well the tape was for oxygen, but you are right. On bigger bottles, there is a stopper AND a cap. Samples is where I guess you run into trouble. All my oils are in the dark and cool, so got that covered. I was wondering about the plastic dauber in the bottles. Will that eventually ruin the oils?
And to keep on track with the theme: Select Cambodi tonight!

I never experienced the plastic dauber/wand imparting a plastic note to any oil.
 
Swiped EO Irian Erang

Thai...like Basic Kinam and Oud Extraordinaire.

Papua...part pretty, part jungle, with some mint and anise, and at the tail end of the sniff, vanilla, citrus, and pepper.

The “oudy force” is strong.

You’ve heard of gently heated chips, well, the next stage is when you smell more of the resin, that’s this oil, and it stays that way from dry down to the base, a pleasant subitism ride all the way.
 
EO King Kambodi
Distilled 2017-2020, is it a blend?
Upon application the focus is on the attributes
of new generation top vapors, tartness, oudiness,
bitterness, and a little creaminess.
Next up, is a little pepper, orange, and fig caramel.
It’s shaping up to a Cambodi profile, while oudiness is still there.
Finally, a little green, a little candy.

The middle and the base are the best parts,
but the oil is already a skin scent at that point.

Layering oud... feel oud thai bio chan #1 with ambrette seed co2 on one arm. Olefaktory economy Thai with ambrette seed on the other.

All Thais have some notes I don't love. The ambrette seed modifies / blends this note perfectly while still letting the oud shine through.

Definitely smells like a blend obviously. There is an interesting resonance between these materials, result is almost cologne-like at certain ratios. Kind of surprising for me. I'd recommend experimenting with oud plus ambrette seed for anyone making mukhallats. Add a little saffron, maybe frankincense or rose. This seems like a base it would be easy to enhance in a pleasant way
 
One of Adam's (Feel Oud) older oils tonight. I cant remember its exact name but it translates as ocean of Hindi or something along those lines.

For a hindi its a breath of fresh air(or water!). Although it has barnyard notes, there's something about it i can't pin down that just enlightens me. Its airy and powerful at the same time. Love it!
 
Malek al Malayzi brings together some of my favorite notes in oils I have smelled from Malaysia and Indonesia. Wish I could afford some...
