Problem Storing Oud Oils

[piopne]

Hey everyone! Yesterday I wanted to swipe one of my oud oils when I saw a rubber like material developed on the top… no clue if it’s the bottles rubber or resin. I was pretty surprised since I store my oils in a dark, room temperature, dry space.

I’d really appreciate if any more experienced person could identify what’s going on, or how to fix or prevent it.

Thanks!

Thanks for all of the help! I thought the same, it definetly doesn’t look like part of the oil. But it smells really similar, and my oud level dropped about 0.03-0.05g so would make sense, and it also appeared one day to the next by itself. It’s royal kinam 2.0 which is pretty unfortunate since it’s one of my favorite oils lol.

Had another similar experience with Hyang Kang when it was shipped to me, when I opened it for the first time had the same ‘rubber like’ material but that time I just removed it. So that’s why I’d like to learn more why it’s happening. Will put it in some warm water see if there’s any effect and let you guys know!

$10,000 bottles of oud per quarter tola level items should not be shipped without proper sealing on lids (no phenolic, PTFE, or otherwise layers visible in your cap pics). So confused. or is some other brand reusing names and these arent what their name implies?

you need to just reach out to vendor and find out a proper answer. this doesnt seem to be a 'well lets see what i can extract from playdoh like contaminant layer' level situation? lol. get someone on the phone and figure it out. not saying they did anything wrong, or didn't do anything wrong, but like.. you should have like white glove support from them for this tier of product. good luck!
