Oud of the Day

[Rezwan]

KC is like my favorite, are they dissimilar enough to have both?

I would say if you have either one of them, you don't need the other. Pretty similar, Krishnai Char is a tad more darker than Jiribam Guf.

Perfect, appreciate it and enjoyed your review.

All the Guf and Char oils currently up are more of what I’d call “whiskey profiles”. Darker, hints of peat / incense smoke, etc.

I feel like they are all family members with distinctive personalities. Related, but unique.

Another way to distinguish the older batches are shorter crystal flacons with no inner tube. The oil is directly put inside the cyrstal bottles in earlier batches. Modern versions are slightly thinner and taller with an additional glass tube inside. Also color of the oils vary from brown to dark burgundy with some small particles inside.

That’s a good question. I’m not sure which exact years I have bottles of. Just that they are the old, original packaging from some of the original releases.

Saif al Hind was originally released in 2001. The batches I have are from no later than 2005. So presumably from somewhere between 2001 - 2005 guaging but the original packaging and the people I got them from, who said they had purchased them new near the time of release. Taken with a grain of sand … but the packaging matches the original boxes and packaging.

I’ve tried one of the newer bottles and they definitely aren’t quite the same as the older releases, which is to be expected. If nothing else - the older versions have aged nearly 2 decades on their own. Maybe the newer releases will smell similar in years to come.

here's a newer one

Khasab Al-Oud

The quintessence (left) is like the bitter and robust iteration of the parfum (right) format. Overall the composition is just raw, bitter-sweet oud, and just a hint of smoke playing in the background with some florals.

 

[Rai Munir]

Ateeq Jamil Oud by FO: A budget friendly Oud oil, and it is its only quality. Though with intervals, I sense some sweet syrupy woody scent. Over all a bland and linear organic waxy oil. It doesn't deserve the word 'Jami'- beautiful.
Malik al Motia Parfum by FO: It is so beautiful. It deserves the word 'Malik'- kingly and royal.

Recently, I found a %50 discount on Asq and got the 100ml edp. I sampled it last year and liked the aroma for daily use. Quality of the oud in this perfume is highly debatable, but I think it is an excellent composition for summer time for those who dont want to use Vetiver🙂

Enjoyed some Hyang Kang today. Red bitter metallic opening moves into a very nice smoky zesty drydown.

Sheikh ul Oud - Hindi

Spending my time outside almost everyday and with this hotter temps, need to wear some heavy hitters. What could be better than an aged Hindi. It's also refreshing my mind and keeping me focused. One of the qualities I like in Ouds.

 

[Anwar]

Feel-Oud/Bortnikoff Global Asia. Co-distillation of Sri Lanka/Phillipines/Cambodia incense. Slept on.

Decided to wear some Silani Sultan, have had this bottle near the garden door for a while, feels perfect to have that breath of freshness in the warm heat in Scotland.

Great oil!

And another good one!

Today I'm wearing Lao Gold by @AlHindOud and Rose de Malaisie by La Maison Khenata

Oudline km super ateeq. This one is in the same general scent category as the old oud “royale” that oriscent sold once. Not really able to make a comparison in terms of quality since it has been almost a decade since I smelled the two side by side. I think they’re from different geographic origins but maybe the same species or general type of wood.

Kedah soilwood from
Maunamoku
A lovely oil with unique profile , reminds me of Nusa T from ASO
Amazing service and product presentation from one of the new vendors !

Tiger King II - Rising Phoenix

This is one of my favourite oils from RPP. Malaysian oud with a core of dense florals. There are some sniffs where you could swear that you were just walking by a Lilac tree and others where you get a more of a “wet forest” impression. Others where you get a light peach skin quality. It’s dry (not sweet), fresh, and floral. Smells like walking through the forest in the spring after a rain with different scents popping out throughout the journey.

Not the type of oil that is going to wow you with “kinamic notes” or anything. Just a really wearable new-gen with a unique profile that I think almost anyone could get into. It is also an oil that has a fairly long development and one that actually grows into something MORE complex than how it begins.

Uniquely it is, by far, the MOST floral oud I have come across yet. You can almost make out a specific type of flower it is giving the impression of (either lilac or lily of the valley to my nose… but maybe lilac which, to me, is a little less “pure” and maybe a little more herbaceous).

Great stuff!

LUCKY OUD ~. Hind Classique

Right out of the bottle oudiness.

It's awake. And undeniable & develops into a sensual leather and fur.. sexy stuff.

I will use the entire bottle and enjoy layering and even using for incense.

And the price?!! Check them out.

Now this takes real talent. Not to inflate. Or tell a bullshit fairytale. No changing of regions or misspelling of information to hide. NOT LUCKY OUD, no con.

The oud speaks for itself. And that is valuable.
