Oud Reviews

[Royalbengalouds]

Bio Hirta, well, its colour has its own beauty. Light green glitter coming out of the bottle fascinates. Its fragrance is not that much simple as it keeps changing its nuances that shows YES, OUD DOES SO. The end note is very much trat like, especially in the morning if it is worn at night. Adam's Funk Master has a REAL DANDY flare. Dynamic and it really makes others feel its presence, and overwhelmingly dominating presence.

Adams Bio Hirta matches exact profile Of Taha's Hirta , Top not super medical bros , but Floral and hirta scents gradually develops , real nice oil , But would not wear all the time , have to test on hot humid days , ouds profile really comes out on Humid days , depends were you live also , I am not kidding , try it out if you suffer cold winters , ( Hindi Comes nice on cold -40 and Cambodi come nice on hot Humid days )

Velvet Kyen...

I woke up earlier than usual this morning, and immediately put on a touch of Velvet Kyen, with the intention of lying there and focusing on the scent. It starts out with lots of spicy notes, and I kept thinking, “brown spices”. Translucent, almost transparent brown, like a sheet of dark glass, or clear water moving over rocks. And then, in the midst of the cinnamon and vanilla, I had a flash of green, and I had an image of a pine bough pass through my mind.

I fell back to sleep, and when I woke up a few hours later, it was as if I was in a mist of the scent of Velvet Kyen, still so strong.

Over the past few days, of getting to know this oil better, the thing that stands out to me the most is the note of gently heated wood… that incense note. The description that Adam gives speaks of fruits… but I don’t get much of that. For me, it is mostly deep spices and incense.

This is a long-lasting oil. The times I’ve worn it, the scent has lingered for a good twelve hours.

When I had my friend sniff the oil, in the bottle, she said, “Wow, it’s really smoky. I didn’t expect that!”. And then, I had her smell my wrist, where the oil had mellowed, and she said, “That smells different, powdery”. I love getting the perspective of folks who have little experience with oud!

I’m so pleased with this oil, and I can’t believe the price. I plan to use a few drops of this oud for my next bottle of beard oil 🙂

Thanks @littlecrowgirl for the review!

King Koh Kong (AA) - sample application, it is nice and if it had been explosive that would have been one of my top favs, disappointingly it seems light, sometimes I struggle to even smell it.

I apply it under my chin and the amount applied is generous and no different to other Ouds, in actual fact - it does not appear to be either potent or consistent, and the longevity is not the best either.

Projection is null, I don’t understand, is it because it is a sample or just the way I apply it i.e swipe and rub it in with my index and thumb?

I simply dont get it, I applied some about two hours ago, I did not get any buzz so I have applied some again, this time by rubbing both wrist and then to the side of Jaw. There's not much left now may be one little swipe.🙁

I initially thought it was just me so I sat next to the wife and had to ask, she could not smell it either, she had to sniff my neck.

I have King Koh Kong , What I do I apply to one area , take my pinky and smear it but enough you see there is shim of glistening , try not put water on it and should gradually release the nuances , the dry down should be spicy , you made me pull my bottle now and apply some to see if there has been any degradation , I will have to ping you in 8 hours to see if the spicy part comes out , it did for me in the beginning ( I tested with my Wife and she almost kick me out the house , she is super sensitive to Oud )

I have heard of this concern with AA ouds... but every one I've ever tried (at least 20 - 25 AA oils) has had wonderful longevity. I have a bit of King Koh Kong, and a tiny drop lasts a good eight hours for me. al qaswa, do you have the same issue with longevity when you apply to cloth instead of skin?

 

[Habz786]

I have not smelt KKK so cannot comment on its performance, maybe it could be a case oils behave differently on different people/skin. Also the weather could have an effect, Oud works well in places like the UK where there isn't a great deal of heat. I do wish some of the AA oils are longer lasting, however there are many that do perform well. Maybe certain distillation tweaks lead to a weaker oil and to gain somewhere else you loose strength...

 

[Royalbengalouds]

After 5 Hours and watching Nashville going to the Stanley cup finals , the King Koh Kong Spicy dry down is there , No degradation on the nuances and last time I used it was last year on Eid, It's interesting that Oud can be different on another persons skin , but if you have a bit left on the sample , what I do to get every drop I take a wooden BBQ stick for a Kabab and use the pointy end to scoop out the last of the oil , try to smear on the arm ( wear short Sleeve shirt ) on the fore arm , once again smear it with pinky finger and smear gently and leave a coat the shimmers or shines ( don't rub into it , ex other hand pressing on the shimmer and rubbing into it ) and the nuances should peep out ,

It was a real great day today. Younger brother Faheem, an adorable boy, came to my city. A long long Santalian Musky Oudy get together. Learnt a lot from him. And these OILS. Well, at the moment, just lost in Mysore. The rest will be reviewed later, if Mysore liberated me.

Faheem, salute to you.

@Rai Munir, beautiful pic, lots of treasures there!

 

[al qaswa]

I must say I have never applied it to cloth, I shall give it a try.

In relation to the lasting power, am I supposed to check my wrist after a period of time for the presence of scent or should my nasal senses be getting teased with wafts of beautifulness throught that 8 hour period?

 

[al qaswa]

Aaah I think I get it about the pinky winky application, thanks BT
