Vendor: OleFaktory
Oil: Ve Dep
Year: 2022

Opening is fuzzy and has the unmistakable bitterness (yet sweet, too!) of viet oils - also opens slight terpy almost like a diesel hemp note. Also upfront you'll notice a minty candy camphorous blast too - this isn't so much part of the direct aroma as it is part of the scents overall texture and body (you feel a cooling sensation vs being actually minty). I appreciate that it's unique while remaining an excellent example of Vietnamese agarwood.

For me, Vietnamese oils are essentially the ultimate in agarwood smells - it's the smell that sums up agarwood in one sniff. Whenever I put Vietnamese wood on the burner, it's unmistakable - that bittersweet, creamy, woody, smell. Ve Dap has this in spades.

Dry down is a continuous aroma of Vietnamese agarwood but with all these interesting and changing chords. I smell a different aspect each time. In words, it remains deeply woody and fuzzy (like textured - I've noticed this in musk before), with petigrain, bittersweet/vanilla (not like a malinau vanilla, more like a safrole/ autumn spices.

Basically a great tier 1 Viet oil that I'm so excited to put away bc I think it will only get better. Support your local distiller 🙂

Much gratitude to @EJayB for really doing the dang thang - pumped to try more of his oils in the future!

So glad you liked the oil, much labor and even more planning went into this project. It s more complicated to distill oud in the USA then almost any other type of oil. A true labor of love and passion

Hello Ouddicts 🙂

Yesterday I swiped Emperor Kedah and Royal Burmese from Jinkoh store

Emperor of Kedah share similar sweetness with Emperor of China !
sweeet and clean opening !
fizzy sparkly resinous with lemony and vanilla cola !
I found a similar note in Blue Malay… minty lemony but not icy like BM
A dark purple bitter Floral scent that remind me also EO purple kinam ….
I get a cinnamon powdery with a sichuan pepper, ginger, gentle incense and strong balsamic vibe !
The dry down is my favorite part …
A sweet musky powdery resinous remind me why I am in love with OUD !
Black color but dark purple odor !

Royal Burmese is sweet fruity with gentle but real incensy vibe, almost smoky but still clean ! Full Raspberries and cherry jam in my nose with leather !
the dry down of this oil remind me the Perfume « Juliette has a gun » or even «Kirke from Tiziana Terenzi »
It’s amazing how the oils from Marius works like perfume ! Mashallah

EO Naga Raja. So unexpected and pleasing. The new gen Naga aromatics underpinned by blue-green depths.

Yusuf Royale today...
[does a pin dot.] [5 minutes later] [Frantically checks the bottle to make sure it's not Aroha Kyaku]
Well it doesn't normally do that.
Incense out the wazoo. Smoke. Then settles down into the floral lilacs and stonefruit, with a touch of spice.
Last time it did not give me the smokey experience. It felt a lot more basic. Something interesting going on.

Al janah 3 from Habzoud
Amazing Hindi oil Just a beautiful oil

 

[AbasFrag]

Cambodi smoke - Habzoud....

Perfect to my taste. Dark oudy smoke with the sweet cambodi DNA struggling to come through. So enjoyable and perfect for the swedish winter.

That one smells like liquid smoke in a bottle with oud underneath

Ensar Oud Naga Raja
Green-blue Gryinops-esque flavour with sweet, indolic white flowers.

JS Emperor of Kedah. I find the Emperor enigmatic: pleasing and lighter on his feet than I would have imagined for something of his opacity and weight. In a word most unexpected: elegant. Also, beguilingly youthful, fruited. God-willing, with so fine a pedigree, he will stand a formidable specimen of a man in some years. If he were a wine, I’d say it were a pity to pop the cork so prematurely. But it happens, and nevertheless one must take ample enjoyment in that.
