Oud of the Day

[Taesik Yun]

OudBase - Ceylon Nirvana

no oudiness. no opaqueness. no artistic distillation tricks.
just pristine, transparent air of Sri Lankan oud's jungle nearby a riverside.

you don't add additives to make lemonade when you have great lemons.
just like that, C.N is an oud oil juiced as it supposed to.

 

[Averroes]

EO Zazen. Rainy day simplicity.

Chiang Rai Oud. A beautiful sample Oud that I received from Mellifluence.

Wearing it right now. Bright and clean, with a lime tinge....you get that too?

Lime? hmm, well I can say it's lime-y but it's sweeter and less citrusy than a lime.

Thanks! I just posted a comment on Feel Oud's Koh Chang Breeze, saying that its the first time I smelt lime in an oud. Its was written before trying Ceylon Nirvana, so it was only correct at the time of writing 🙂

I finished the last of my Hawa Jinko sample from Al Hashimi last night. Woke up this morning to a lovely soft rosey oud that had facets of something like sandalwood on my arm. Imagine a quality wild Hindi in which every element has turned pretty and pink.

Mynma Gold swiped shortly after Oud Ehab 2

The woodiness of Oud Ehab 2 works wonderfully with Mynma Gold’s creamy citrus and herbs.

 

[Tauhid Shaikh]

Amir Al Hind on the left and Omar on the Right. Both from the house of An Najwa.
A treat for the Hindi lovers. I want say more but after wearing both a couple of times.

The Ruh Khus received is beautiful, may be comparable to the one from Tabeer Oud this year. Want to compare them possibly this weekend.

 

[OudGood]

Has anyone tried Shawq from ASO? I wonder whether its classical hindi or barn-free.

Al Hashimi - Ibn Zaydun

This was sent to me for a blind smelling purpose and I've been testing it for over a month.

Strong projection and complexity. opens up with tangy dark plum, wine, Dr.pepper, cola, incense.
10 minutes in, Malay green oudiness, medicinal herbs. and cookie-ish sweetness comes out after that.

not my cup of tea. too much in-your-face tanginess, herbaceous. and very alien to my nose.
Ibn Zaydun shares many properties with Ibn Zamlak but it lacks subtlety and elegantness.

I'm curious what others think about this one. can anyone else who tried this oil share their thoughts?

 

[Sproaty]

Al Hashimi - Saba Jinko & Hawa Jinko
two great oils, Hawa falling into the new-school type of modern non-barn oils, Saba being quite atypical Bornoe- much richer, darker and incense heavy vs typical sweet vanillic smell

 

[Rai Munir]

Brahmaputra by Tabeer Oud on right arm and Nangarhar Rose by Orzala on left arm!

This much oudy Oud, no off and auxiliary notes, and rose is simply divine!!!

Brahamaputra and Al Janah2 today. Can't really figure out the difference.😕

I find these new type of Hindis quite similar, was thinking the same with the Al Hashimi Hawa Jinko that I was wearing today. I've come to accept that my nose isn't nuanced enough to pick up much differences with oud!

You may be right. Other reasons Could be same distillation technique? Or maybe same location wood is used?
