Resident Artisan & Ouddict Co-Founder
I remember back in 2012, I was fortunate enough to experience and smell almost every Oriscent oil in existence, thanks to @Ouddict and his massive collection. I spent hours on end studying those oils; even now, I can recall their names and aromas vividly. This was my introduction to high-grade artisanal distillations—the kind of experience most "Ouddicts" only dream of. Having hundreds of bottles of top-shelf, aged oud in front of you is a rare privilege, and I am grateful because it truly set the standard for my nose.

I remember asking Nadeem back then which oil he loved most. He replied, "Oud Royale." He had several bottles of it and I smelt every single one. When he told me the oil’s value and its history, I felt reluctant to even take a swipe, but he insisted. I ended up swiping it multiple times just to truly understand it. In fact, the last time I wore this oil was on Nadeem’s wedding day, a special occasion where he applied it himself for the first time in years. What struck me most was the purple and blue florals, the deep powdery earthiness and the rich heavy resinous base.

Fast forward years later: this oil has surfaced a few times in private Sultan Qaboos (SQ) collections, but I never had the chance to smell those varients of the oil. When a close friend and collector told me he had three tolas of the exact release from Ensar years ago—stored perfectly to maintain its top, middle, and base notes, I had to get my hands and nose on it. I secured it with a plan: one tola for Nadeem as a thank you for the time I spent learning from his collection and the other two to be sold to the Ouddict community.

When I received the oil, I called Nadeem and told him I’d give him my entire oud collection if this wasn't the original Oud Royale sold by Ensar. One sniff and those memories came rushing back. I knew instantly it was the exact same oil. I sent him a sample to verify it against his own bottles.When I called him earlier today, he pulled my leg saying, "This isn't it." I told him there was no way I was mistaken, to which he laughed and replied, "It’s the same oil—in fact, it smells even better."

While this oil has been sold at varying price points with Scent legends selling out at 1850$ per gram, Habzoud is offering it at the best value yet, once its gone its gone. Also im not sure if other others were compared to the original, this one for sure has.

This is 100% the original Oud Royale oil distilled in 1982, verified and confirmed. I won’t write a lengthy description, as those who know this oil already have the information and history behind it. I will simply say: this is a special experience featuring powdery purple and blue florals, juicy earthiness, boozy resins, and a hauntingly beautiful antique aroma.
This isn't just an oil, it is a rare piece of olfactory history.

I have only ever read about this oil, believing it is unobtainable now days😭
This is something of a myth to me!

What an incredible opportunity of our community. Brother Habzoud, you're the undisputed king of oud my friend.

Now I have to figure out a way to secure some of this oil at any cost. Let the scramble for money begin 😂🤔💀

Thank you for the opportunity 🔥❤️🏆

@Habz786 I told you NOT to reveal I had another tola of this oil.... it is NOT for sale 😅🤦‍♂️

This is the original and smells as vibrant and fresh as the day I first smelled it in 2007. I have smelled various different batches but due to different storage conditions, none of them smelled like the original except this one secured by @Habz786.
 
Received today from @Habz786 and even though I wanted to let it rest for at least 24 hours I couldn’t resist.

I was fortunate to sample from EO several years ago (was a generous gift from the team with another purchase) and I always wondered if I would be able to get my nose on it again, because as anyone who has experienced this one knows, it’s special and expensive, for a reason.

My initial thoughts I shared with a friend today:

“It’s DEF the original OR, or as I remember it. Just received, and couldn’t resist a swipe. It’s really such a difficult Oud to explain why it’s so great. You know how every Maroke, Filipino, Papuan, even Maluku just seems like it’s “missing the mark” just a little bit.. this hits the all them perfectly. Which is what makes it so interesting and addictive.

It’s just the right amount of green, the right amount of smoke, the right amount of jungle. It’s really not overly complex and doesn’t have the Oriscent signature exactly. Very very few Ouds have that special thing which Kyara has, in that it makes the whole world seem right just for a little bit…. This has that, and it’s so rare in an oil.”

I encourage anyone who’s thinking of getting some to act on it, this is a rare opportunity to own what may very well be the greatest oil ever distilled.

I had a sample of this back in the early/mid 2000's I guess it was, shared with me by bluemoon (one of the OG participants in Taz's "oud<3ers" basenotes group, back when they had them). Very nice tangy aged oud, in my mind like a concentrated version of a particular note/profile I smell to varying degrees in oils from parts of peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, and PNG. this would be a wonderful oil to have a bottle of...

I remember Bluemoon! She bought a full original bottle of Oud Royale and I think Kyara LTD from me back in 2012. I think her name was Marian as we spoke a bit on the Basenotes forum and email.

What Oriscent signature? It was an oil that Ensar received from his teacher. Apart from it being listed on the Oriscent and now Ensar Oud site, the brand had nothing to do with the distillation or the way it smells, except maybe that it was selected for the brand as it displays certain characteristics aligned with them.

I think you’ve taken my description the wrong way. I was simply highlighting that OR, while oftentimes listed under Oriscent doesn’t have the signature smell so many of the top tier offerings EO (and even you) have sold. The instantly recognizable signature isn’t there, so don’t expect it. Clearly it was distilled many years prior to EO starting his business, so more likely, as you’ve said, it was selected by them to align with the general marketing of being an ultra premium Oud offering. Which it most assuredly is.

I think you’re referring to the Taiwanese oils like Kyara LTD, Royal Kinam, Kalbar 3000 etc right?

So @SULAYM also sold a Maroke 1982 recently and many bought it including me thinking it is the Oud Royale. But it looks like they are very different?

@OudhJourney i cant comment on other offerings, as ive not smelt them or able to say if its the same oil. Maybe someone who has tried it can verify. However this is 100% the same as the original Oud Royale.

I bought around 14 bottles of Oud Royale from Ensar under the original Oriscent brand back in 2007 and 2008 and I can confirm that the HabzOud offering is a complete match. I have smelled other batches (without knowing if other vendors bought and sold them or not) and it is clear that the oils may be the same, but due to storage difference, they may be more muted, but I have not smelled any of the offerings from other vendors apart from Ensar and Habz.
