Oud of the Day

[Tauhid Shaikh]

A Malay Oud from Ulugbek. This is very very light smelling Oud and no funk or skank.

Two Malay codistillations,

Kakaya (Cambodia/Malaysia) by Al Hashimi and Altamsah (Borneo/Malaysia) by HabzOud

Both are great, different ends of the spectrum - the AH being fruitier, the Habz being sparkly and sweet yet incense heavy

Jinkoh Store Jinkoh Lokma Upper Assam 2021. A young oil that has a gorgeous sweet hay note.

Oud Tashi (Ahom Oud) - a wild Bhutanese beauty. It's animalic facets have already subsided a lot (since I bought it fresh around Ramadan 2021) and some of them have morphed into and merged with its dry, resinous and incensy base. In the trail it has a lot of similarities with very old Malaysian ouds. This oil will only get better with time.

M 207 Hindi Oud by Assam Aroma (Mr Taj):
Viscous, heavy, barn hay-ish barn tinged with fermentation, an elegant combo of traditional and modern Hindi Oud tones.

Koh Kong Melange (70% Cambodian / 30% Thai co-distill) by Feel Oud

I received a sample of this in the mail, when I ordered Burma Savage, and haven't quite smelled anything like it before in my short time as an ouddict. The first thing that you notice is that it is THICK, possibly the thickest, stickiest oil that I own, close to molasses in viscosity. Opening note is predominantly gasoline / diesel, which I absolutely love, lasting for 20-30 minutes. Middle notes remind me of fruit leather - when a blend of fruits are pureed together and dehydrated. Lots of red and purple, the former of which I'm told is common in Cambodian oils. Very rich and deep fruits, as opposed to the tropical top notes I'm more accustomed to. There's a great base note in here too, of leathery, animalic funk - more smoky or tarry than barnyard, brings to mind a classic leather perfume. I'm a fan of this one.

Went with Borneo Ateeq on one hand

Bhramaputra on the other.

Its interesting comparing a Hindi to an aged Borneo yet the comparison is very close. Sweet yellow florals in the Hindi with minty Borneo
florals in Borneo Ateeq. Borneo Ateeq is just so ethereal and gorgeous. I like it better than Beccariana.
