Yessssssss. Happy you are experiencing this oil similarly to how I see did. The purity of it brings one almost to tears. It doesn’t have the dry down of Royal malinau og version or malaya but when the tops notes and heart is that beautiful, it’s easy to still feel fully satisfied.

Thnx buddy. Good to have see u here too. I was thinking of u actually. I wore the vintage vetiver cologne decant from you earlier. As much as I love oud, sometimes perfumes hit differently.

Ooooof. Both great. Bahadur I recall had a drier and more high mountain feel of a naga oil but still distinctly Naga.
Shahjahan is hard to put to words. I call is smell of gold and sunshine. I just can’t find the right words to describe its profile. Along with Hindustan 1 and original chugoku is my top hindi oil ever.

Damnnnnnn. Look at you go. Papuya is a monster. Three headed tiger. Remarkably potent. My only issue with it at times is that it’s almost too powerful in projection. But what a complete oil. Three distinct stages of top heart and base. Each carrying different set of aromatics at each stage.
Having some of the wood that this oil was made from really helps in my appreciation of this oil. It has all the notes of the wood but thru alchemy some totally new and unexpected profile too. That oriscent bitter medicinal vibe that is as if some top grade true old stock vietnam sinesis was thrown in the batch.
Regardless papuya is in my top 3 green oil pick.

Tonight’s wear: Ertugrul gazi
Going off memory this is a pattani based oil (south Thai/north malay. Not crassna but malecansis. ) then has some maroke, brunei, ng and something else.
That unique blue of brunei kinam is clearly seen here. Loosely the blue part of crude oil scent. But in a much better way and in an elegant way. Brunei Nirvana wood and some other rare batches of brunei have this note too while many many other brunei woods or ones sold as such don’t have this note at all. The deep green of the south comes in latter stages. The pattani profile at first comes across as north malay: green but different green than png is mixed with gentle cola nut, but as the oil progresses pattani profile goes more Thai: gentle cinnamon but more so cardamom laced dried fruit. Apricots and papaya?
One heck of a complex oil. Horizontally and vertically. For the interest of newer to oud fans I am referring to horizontal as: at a given time many many distinct aromatics are smelled. Vertical: the changes of the aromas as the oil sits on the skin and progresses toward dry down.
Anyone else here has this oil?

The legend is back 👏 welcome brother, the oud community definitely missed you.
Nice to read your messages again, Rasoul. I, similarly, stopped buying oils a couple of years ago, but I am still lurking in the background haha 🙂
My sotn last night is remarkable in that for a Thai oil it's mostly smoke and incense. This is reminiscent of burning wood on coal, very woody, smokey and strong.

This was a wise impulse buy. At the time when feel oud was cranking out the organic Thai oils, I asked if he could provide a tola of some unsoaked Thai oil that was budget oriented. He sent me this oil which he distilled - it wasn’t listed on his site as far as I know and I paid for it without having smelled it or sampled that first which is not something I would normally do (a blind tola is an impulse buy for me).
For a while I really could only put on the tiniest bit of this because it had that certain sour Thai cherry pungent funk that most fresh Thai oils seem to come with. It still has that to some degree so if I put on a large swipe I don’t smell it directly or else it’s just overload. But the fresh mess is mellowing into something amazing and when I put a swipe on my neckline, it starts with the smell of a riparian zone in the spring (poplar buds etc) and then settles for full day of tangy white wood floral wafts of scent reminiscent of good Cambodian wood at low temp or even Vietnamese / sinensis in terms of the long sweet woody tail.
I expect it to be mediocre but every time I put it on I find myself six hours later trying to remember when I’d put on some super hoi an or royal kinam because it dries down to a similar scent

I have just received my Saif al Hind bottle. It is 2021 production, I dont know if this oil changes from batch to batch, but I was expecting a louder, more piercing profile. My first impression is I detect zero funk here. What I smell is a slightly fermented Indian oud with almost chocolate like sweetness. It become subtle within an hour, but starts to project again quickly with smoky, semi-sweet qualities. It easily stays on skin 7-8 hours. I think I need more time to explore this, but overall happy with my purchase. Any experiences with the batches after 2020?

No idea about your query. But in case you don't know, just decant the entire content from the bottle to some traditional bottle or something else. These crystal bottles ruin oils after reacting with the electroplated metal section of the cap and mouth area*. The glue used in the inner section of the cap will also adversely affect the content.
