After a long time, I read the word Hirta. 👌🏻
Try craft oud’s Nagaland Classic on the same person, I am curious about his reaction🙂

I’m a fan of this one’s profile.

Batch 1 or 2?
Did you have a similar experience to mine from the first few minutes after a swipe?

Habzoud Zamarad 2. Described as having a crystal clean punch and a lovely aroma on Habzoud’s site, I gotta agree. My neophyte oud nose gets a hit of camphor (which I think I love — reminds me of my time in Japan), but I’m not really sure I actually know what that smells like. A plumber at our place last week thought he was smelling fresh paint when I was wearing this oil. I was smelling yum.

Not exactly. I was getting heavy melon vibes that were very airy and effervescent. Then, as if the Sri Lankan green aspects start to show, with a backdrop of ghee. I've smelled this oil plenty, at this point.

As the weather is warming up, it’s time to bring out the Sri Lankan oils.
EO: Sinharaja X.
This was a great buy at the time.
Perhaps $299 for 3gs back in 2015 or so? Regretting not buying 3 bottles.
This works very well on my skin.
Not very overly fruity. Much drier, like beach drift wood baking in the sun with the ocean air.

Revisiting this.

I saw this earlier today and was curious about it. Very tempting but I haven’t tried his oils before. Almost went for the super charged version of the sleeping incense because I enjoyed the regular version. I’m sure it will be a good one!

After a voluntary break from oud, I made a blind buy of Feel Oud's Vietnam Royale and was so blown away that I immediately bought a bunch of other samples. I can't believe what I've missed!
But starting with an oldie that many may remember... Kakaya from Al Hashimi. At launch in late 2019, this was an excellent but novel oil - a touch spirity and with a unique leavening of jackfruit (a bit like overripe bananas if you haven't encountered this tropical fruit). Today, it has evolved into a beautiful oil. The jackfruit scent is now faint, and in its place, there is a deep and almost regal oil with the faint cola notes of Malaysian ouds and the tiniest hint of tropical fruit. Could probably sell for twice the launch price today.

Feel Oud Vietnam Royal
This is a modern, clean distillation oil made from what Russian Adam calls "treasure-grade" wild Vietnam chips and is so perfect. It's a heady and indescribable blend of green notes, with tremendous sillage and more an performance than a scent. The notes are mellifluous and intriguing, dancing from one scent to another and from breath to breath. My wife describes it as 'a mix of many woods like cedar and sandalwood, less creamy and floral than your usual ouds.' It's wonderful!
