Got the new oils from OudBase today.
Ceylon Nirvana first Impression
~ 30 minutes
spicy, incense, a bouquet of florals, oceanic, sweet, jungle, airy, aquatic, invigorating, energetic, blue, gold, sunshine, expansive, clearing, shapeshifter, serene, tranquility
~ 1 hour
pink pepper(?), cardamom, becomes fairly weaker(opening is explosive)... or my nose is exhausted. pure water, mineral, pristine, somewhat reminds me of Sarawak profile(Al Hashimi's Eden) yet quite different.
Hindi Sultan first Impression
~ 30 minutes
Leather, hay, sweet, berries, zero barns, wildflowers, warm, soothing, nourishing, alluring, seductive,
It has the same assorted berry note of RPP's RDJ Nagaland and Nagaland study set: complete oil. but this one is cleaner or I could say more top note-ish.
~ 1 hour
Leather and berries are going back and forth, playing ensemble. yogurt-ish sourness. settles down. the assorted berry note changes to a different direction(cooler, sweeter). woody.

There's this saying in the wine world. "A great wine should taste great even without aging. a great wine becomes greater with aging."
Considering these are relatively freshly distilled oils, I can't help but have a huge expectation of how these will become over time.
Edit
At the 3 and a half hours mark, both oils smell weak to my nose.
