Did you know this is like my favorite oil? Yeah, this one is so rich you can drown in the depths.
I'm wearing a Tarakan from JungleOud

Assam Classique - Craftoud
minimal (or no?) fermentation, this opens without the expected barnyard animalics, it has a beautifully rich, creamy cacao, resinous Oud, dark dried fruity overtone with aromatic tobacco and hay notes from the get go.

The opening and beginning stages are very much reminiscent of Chugoku Senkoh.

Oudimentary “CFO” Cambodian fine oud from back in the early basenotes heyday. I could in theory look back through the discussions there to see when people were posting about this one to figure out how long I’ve had it.
I think this was their second generation of higher end Cambodian agarwood oils, and somehow I still have a full bottle of it. There was one oil of theirs that was especially praised that came and went before this one (“Ksss”) which you should try to get a sample of. I am told if you ever have a chance…, I missed that bought a bottle of this when it was released since I figured odds are it would please. I don’t think it was quite as rich as that original oil, but I am enjoying it quite a bit. I remember wearing it when I was visiting my sister-in-law in Brooklyn when my daughter was in grade school - maybe 10 years ago. It was one of just a few Cambodian oils I had and it really did smell different from the others. A little fresher, a strong ethereal top note and a syrupy heart… very much an enticing dried fruit and tobacco aroma, doesn’t smell like urine or musk or dung but still somehow feels “pheromonal” (I use
the term loosely) and animalic in a sense. As it settles some floral elements emerge. It does have a certain sweet/sour note that Thai oils sometimes also have that I don’t care for.
This oil has no other off notes and is clean smelling from top to base. It has mellowed and converged a bit in fragrance with other Cambodian and Thai oils I have smelled (who knows if any were actually Cambodian back then - there was little Info on provenance available)
Some of my oils from Cambodia settle down into this amazing fairy subtly sweet and salty spicy wood scent bordering on kyara that you can almost feel in your nose. Like dry, white bleached wood in the sun. This oil has a bit of that but I suspect there’s a little Thai mixed in, and that competes with the Cambodian delight.

Nice lineup! I'm curious about the rose - how would you describe it?

Good day 🌞 Wearing Red Emperor from Jungle Oud 😍 Cambodian oil lover this one is very nice. 7 hours on wrist and the aroma is still great. Berries and leather dry down.

Depletion of Water content
Got to be more to it than that, I have thick oils like old honey and one I can think of as loose as water and the only remarkable difference I can find is the aroma is much more potent on the watery oil. CO2 vs. Hydro in this case.
Paratchin core cinnamon honey woody intense tobacco
Sumbawa oceanic salty , wet sand, oceanic green sweet
Sumbawa green amber, woody
Sumatra smokey rains, ash, fresh cut lawn, ginger spice
Paratchin 10 years aged cinnamon honey
Khao yai citrusy sweet
Oud Indian garohillz animalic leather tobacco

My unique collection smell wise so far, it’s hard to find such unique smelling ouds the basic notes are good too.

I've seen many watery oils have phenomenal performance too. Ideally evaporation should be directly proportional to throw/projection, inversely proportional to longevity for a given quantity of oil. But the skin absorbs and interacts differently with each oil too - pH, temperature, moisture, air flow are all variables.
Unless some portion of the oil is responsible for smell, with a bigger inert part which gives the thickness(mixed or adulterated), not sure why we see thinner oils that outlast thicker ones. Safe to say I don't understand the entire science.

Terrible photo but trying to show the color using a desk lamp
Mellow Thai smelling oil with the spazzy sweet and sour bug scent that fresh Thai oils sometimes have dialed down considerably.
I glad I bought this even though it isn’t my favorite type of oud.

Today I am wearing an extract of 5different wild kyaras that I had in Mongolian musk for about a week and I gotta say, it has become much louder than before i put the musk. The musk is on top for like 30-40 minutes then its all kyara for hours. First 3 hours are pretty loud too. .Projection is probably 5-6cm but i do feel it linger through the air at times! I wonder what will happen to it in a couple months
On the other hand I have the same kyara extract mixed in with white ambergris extract and Siberian musk. This one is dominated with animalic on top for at least an hour and then the kyara shines through, I notice for this one the white and black kyaras dominate the scene while the other one with only Mongolian musk is more white-green projection.
As the hours go by I get different color kyara tones flashing through. Very excited about this and very curious to see how it goes in a year.
Of course these are both around 1ml each and there was about 2grams total of kyara that was used to create the extract. That is close to .75-.8g of extract that I collected for this specific extract. I wish I had done a separate color extract of each to see the differences in time.
