It makes me happy to think of you immersed in your experiments and surrounded by markets overflowing with luxury aromatics. This is the way it should be

A piece of really heavy and dense Malaysian oud possible sinesis. You can’t imagine how this sounds when dropped on the table. Dense hard piece of wood, I tried cleaning it but it was already very clean, too hard for my chisel.

I sometimes carry bottles of my blends in my pockets and show them to sellers. Most blends sold are a mixture of synthetics. Or very simple blends between two Ouds, or Oud and rose. Nothing complex and 50% of the stuff in shops comes from the same source. That’s why I like this shop, it’s one of the few ones that blends their own stuff, and has things that I didn’t see anywhere locally like pure sandalwood oil, Vietnam oud oils and Laotian oud oil.
I’ve made a good connection with a few shops, just today I got out with a free 6ml bottle of sandalwood oil with my purchase 😉

You should do that definitely, they sometimes stock odd and rare things.
The shop is in Al Khor not Doha.

Interesting. It’s good to see other urban areas develop in Qatar. All we’re ever used to hearing about is Doha. Maybe my geographic knowledge is outdated. I must visit one day!

Has an advantage: new development=low rent= low prices 😁
You have to visit, Qatar has changed dramatically in the last ten or so years. Let me know when you’ll come see we meet
