Oud of the Day

Guess who is back!

Hope this note finds you new and old timers well.

I had stopped buying oils a while back. Iirc Ertugrul gazi was my last purchase. So didn’t see a point in my contributions. Also to save dollars for RL I didn’t want further temptation from all you naughty gals and guys.

Further, I found myself for a good 6 months or so to not showing any real draw or pull from any of my oils. My head space was else where. I was and still am heating wood (lesser so) and burn incense (a lot more than ever) but only recently I started feel that child like thrill and the excitement of early days in oud.

Oud of yesterday morning was sultan Abdul hamit. A ng/borneo co distill from ensar but the smoky kind. Like a pleated whiskey. Not overtly so like aroha or oud duhl but a very nice integrated smoke. Thnx to the old legend “behanny” for sharing a bit of this jewel with me back in I don’t know 2018?

Oud of last night was nirvata muana. Man I just loooooove that gently sweetened honeybush tea note with gentle ginger cookie note. So gourmand. So tasty. So comforting. There is a live oudy oud spine in this oil that keeps the profile away from becoming cloying or sweet. I have loved this oil since day one. Luckily many many other oils come close to this profile and when the itch comes they can scratch it. Naga3k, Royal imphal, Royal muana…

Todays wear started in the morning with the original rubaie from ASO. A wicked oil. The opening I struggle with a bit as it has that twangy sour fermented note and some animal profile but in about 20 minutes it settles into a clean and unique profile. Kinam/vietnam portion is not really smelled but it’s felt. Hard to explain. A must try for you to know what I mean. Respectfully the version two while similar, doesn’t cut it for me. I tried it towards the drydown of the Og and it didn’t really do anything for me.

Now that I am winding down and off to bed, I am going for mahkota from AA. That cola note and psychedelic like purple floral note is off the charts. The oils top notes vibrate. The heart is fat and full. Too early in the wear to see where the drydown goes but I am loving the pristine crystalline profile thus far. Linear compared to other distillers but focused and elegant. Delish.

Port Moresby. First wear today. I'll have to do a direct comparison, but PM reminded me of Borneo Kinam. Beautiful oil, very nicely balanced dark incense with smooth sweet wood

Dudeeeeee. Port Moresby is the king of greens. Easily along with kynam emerald and papua is the trio of greatest green oils I have ever tried. Lucky you. How much do u have?

What I love about port M more than other green oils is it’s maturity. It’s a very balanced oil like a refined older gentleman without anything to prove. Understated even like Armani.

Sultan Ahmet, Taha said this was his favourite oil and I can see why.

A slight barn note in the opening, about 5-10 minutes. Gradually the PNG/Brunei profiles emerge, blue and green, creamy and also fresh. Stunning!

@Renzo C Oooooof. My sultan ahmet has been finished for years. It was one heck of a sultan. Iirc it was SS distilled. Brunei ng co distill iirc. Bring ur ahmet and I’ll introduce you to the oil that started it all: beyazit. Insert droooool emoji here.

.........Today.......GRAND EMPEROR OF VIETNAM from JINKOH STORE..........I put a tiny dot literally on my wrist and took a whiff.......................................for the past two years I have been hearing kinam this, kinam that, kinamic this , kinamic that, kyara this, kyara that..........G T F O O H!!!

This oil, if Marius told me that it was distilled with 50% wild Vietnamese kinam and 50% agarwood I would believe him 100000%

THIS OIL SMELLS LIKE YOU ARE HEATING SOME HIGH END INCENSE GRADE VIETNAMESE WOOD ON LOW THAT HAS FILLED THE AIR AND ALSO A JAR OF WILD VIETNAMESE WHITE AND GREEN KINAM THAT YOU HAVE YOUR NOSE INSIDE OF THE JAR AND THE KINAM AROMA IS BEING MIXED IN WITH THE AGARWOOD HEATING IN THE BACK BUT THE KINAM AROMA IS DOMINATING. ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED! EVER SINCE I ADDED THIS DOT THAT WAS ABOUT 3MM IN DIAMETER AND SMEARED IT THE AROMA HAS CREATED LIKE A BUBBLE AROUND MY WHOLE BODY I SMELL IT IN THE AIR I N S A N E P R O J E C T I O N!

I remember Taha said something about Ensar "I dont know why anyone bothers making oils when you are creating oils like this", or something like that.....Now I am sure many distillers who smell this oil will wonder the same especially if they are very familiar with kinam. I hate to sound like this and be comparing and no disrespect to anyone here making oils as I know for a fact everyone has great oils but I never been this mindfooked about an oil and well this is the FIRST time I actually feel like an oil smells like kinam. I will probably try and come back with another review but honestly there is no doing justice trying to talk about how kinam smells or how this oil smells.

Extremely grateful to have this oil! AMAZING!!!

ah I’ve just sold my sample, but it was only the tiniest drop, just enough to sample 3-4 times. I’ll be very glad to become acquainted with Beyazit though…

It is indeed extremely refined. It is to green what a rich burgundy is to red…so elegant and classy. I’ve only got a sample drop, but may have to jump on a slightly larger sample in the future (I limit myself to 0.3gr or less of any oil to keep costs relatively low!)
 
AA Royal Maluku. Like I said earlier, I feel stupid trying to express these very special experiences in words. Just beautiful is all I would say. One must experience these.
The opening is so special, the heart true to the region. Unlike others, the fizz stays quite long. Yet to explore the dry down. I think I like

@Rasoul Salehi Welcome back and thanks for encouraging me to try this one.
