Completely agree, they have some oils that are old old stock wood distillations as well. If you find any of their Chinese or sinensis ouds pick them up ASAP! Chances are they’d be gone in mere minutes if posted on sales forum

Karatoya Assam Oud on the left & Chinese Guangdong on the right. Both acquired from Brother Abdullah(Mellifluence). He acquires some of the best artisan oud oils. I bank on his experience and vast variety of exposure.
Karatoya Assam is sweet animalic, cheesy, mildy barny, my absolute favorite. Lasts really a long time on the skin. Chinese Guangdong is clean, high quality Chinese oud. Airy and ligher, and literal smell of Fennel Seeds. The Fennel Seeds, make this one interesting.

Finishing the last bits of my Suka City sample this morning. This works incredibly well in cold rainy weather.

Hails from the nature’s lap. Garo-Khasi range in north-eastern state of Meghalaya, India.
The berry-cherry color is beautiful. Reminiscent of some other classical Hindi oils that I’ve had before. Does this oil have a kick? I would say it’s a head-hunter.
This stuff is serious. Opens quite animalic. It was a weeklong soak but feels like much much longer than that. The fermentation note is quite pronounced in this one. What’s a good Hindi with no fermentation anyways? Huh? That’s the hindi aesthetic and I accept it as is.
A few minutes into the swipe, the madness settles down and paves the way for a musky leather. If some perfumer composes a “Cuir de Inde”, this oil needs to go in there. Not a subtle suede polished leather gentleman, this has rather grim, unyielding, stiff necked character with a proclivity towards kink. Musky or musty, there’s a fine line between these two here. The salient muskiness is intertwined with leather and spiciness.
As the time passes, hints of hay, tobacco, and dates whistle by. Spicy like the local cuisine from Meghalaya, fierce like the headhunters from Garo tribe. I do not get woods of any sort. To me, the story starts from in the face musky leather and ends with a modest sweet vibe with resinous muscular undertone. The transition is quite nice. Today, was my fourth wearing. I would say, I prefer the later phase of this oil i.e. a couple hours after the swipe. I am developing a liking for it, the more I wear it.
If you like bold clasically done hindi oils, this could be your jam.
Looking forward to the other two oils which come highly recommended based on the comments on here. @rojas

I received Brahmaputra from Tabeer Oud today and I truly feel that no-soak Hindi’s will be revolutionizing the Oud community soon. I don’t think I can go back to heavy fermentation notes after smelling the work coming from trailblazing distillers in India like Mr. Umair with Tabeer Oud.
This oil opens with the cleanest and freshest hay note I’ve ever smelled with notes of green vetiver and honeyed florals. Pretty soon a creamy Hindi heart shows up and it quite literally feels like burning low temp wood without the smoke. The far drydown sees some nice freshly varnished wood notes that lead into a terpy sweet and sour finish. Great stuff and amazing work.

I’ll be excited to hear your thoughts on this one. I loved it! My only complaint is the tenacity of the oil but it’s still pretty fresh so I’ll be excited to see what happens in the future.

From my experience, oud tends to mellow with age/oxidation rather than make it more tenacious.

it's aboud time!
Got my bottle of al janah from habzoud. nice to take a big ol' swipe instead of scraping out my sample vial. This is a tier 1 oil in my book. Love the aroma. Fresh chai tea, spices, velvety smooth. I dig the consistency of the oil too, not too thin or anything. Dry down is fantastic too. Leading the 2021 pack for me so far for sure.
