Just got Feel-Oud's Old School Malazi. In the bottle, the oil looks deep black like the paint on Adam's graphic for this oil . . . but on the stick, the actual color is a dark green with a brown cast. Awesome.
The aroma starts with that gingery-lemony overlay that fresh oils sometimes have. I suspect this note will dissipate with a little age. For now, it diminishes in about an hour. I find Adam's description of the scent very accurate. The oil has definite spiciness -- I was thinking clove and cardamom, the website says cinnamon, which sounds right. There's a dried fruit note; it's like dried fruit skin, not sweet or juicy. There is also bit of woody sweetness. When I breathe deep I do get that hearty wild oudiness that I hope for from a peninsular Malaysian, and the suggestion of leather . . . I haven't sorted it all out yet.
I am very pleased with this oil, especially given its price. I plan to experiment with aging and blending. I hope with time the fragrance will become darker and more leathery or earthy-smelling, and that the oudiness will become heavier. I honestly have no idea but I look forward to finding out!
I was intending to split a bottle among several people, but purchased the bottle before arranging for all of the participants because I didn't want to miss out. Glad I did because Malazi sold out fast. But this means I have several grams more than I need. If anyone wants to obtain some, feel free to contact me. 🙂

Has anyone tried Kinnam Rouge?
I picked up a sample of Feel Oud India with my bottle of Sa-Tu. I dont know why I did. I am normally not a fan of the few non barnyard style Indian ouds that I have tried Like Assam3000 and Sumi Naga. They seem to have a fresh waxy Floral quality that while nice is way to subtle and lacking any oudy oomph. It makes me think that is the reason they started soaking the hell out of the wood before distilling it in Assam. to bring out the oudyness that in naturally present in ouds from other regions.
But Feel oud India is the fresh floral waxiness of Sumi Naga but with a leathery resinous oudyness underneath giving it body. It is definitely worth checking out.

I also have smelt ajmals reserved oil thanks to a generous member. Its also at a decent price of around 900$ a tola. Its a lovely hindi oil one that can be worn to the workplace and not offend anybody. It has zero barn with a lovely blend of honey and fruits, not the kind of thai fruits but more of a gentle backset array of sweetness which is a pleasure to the nose. The dry down is classical sweetness honey comb with a nice flow of woodyness hiding behind gentle fruits.

Thanks for the unwarranted attack. Maybe you could use your eyes, reading will get very hard if you don't.
I known Arabs mostly can't tell the difference between B and P, P doesn't exist in Arabic. What are gonna do next..... Start calling yourself beter because you're so confused.
Chill son and learn the difference instead of constantly whinging.
