Sandalwood oil of the day

[William Birch]

Not that I’ve seen but I imagine as the trees get older there we will. How do you find the quintis oil?

It’s pretty good. It’s got a more creamy or buttery profile compared to Spicatum oils I have. Definitely prefer this to Spicatum oils, I would like to experience some more Australian Santalum Album oils though because this is my first experience with it.

Craft Oud - mysore regal

Got this yesterday but had to wear the tuli first because it just smelled so good. This oil reminds me of the aroma sublime oils I have but I think this is darker , with more depth and honey. Just a first impression but I like it so far.

My sandal oil of the day : Tanzanian Sandalwood from Kangiiten
Wonderful buttery, sweet with an interesting resinous note

When you say Santal Midy are you referring to the old capsules?

 

[Oudamberlove]

Yes

 

[oud.time]

Yes

That’s awesome! Do you know what year they are from? What is the aroma like?

Of the several bottles I got, there were 3 distinct profiles, some were labeled Mysore.
But none had Dates.
I think they are estimated to be from 60 to 100 years old.
Surely all the volatility has gone, but a deep scent remained, like any decent East Indian sandalwood oil.
There were two bottles, not the Mysore ones, which had a weaker scent, maybe due to storage issues.

Wow that’s cool. Sandalwood history!

MiskuAmber - Mysore

One of the best values I’ve gotten since I started buying.

RisingPhoenix Deep and Buttery Mysore.
Subtle in the opening. Floral and light sandalwood, somewhat complex. Gets better as it dries down in my opinion.
Nice oil!

Santal Luxe from Lucky Oud just arrived

Could not refrain myself from taking a swipe. This stuff is intensely creamy and packs a punch. Let's see how the story unfolds.

Sounds nice! How would you compare this to other oils you’ve tried?

LuckyOud is on my list of things to get. Have you tried their Hind Kinam by chance?

I have been wearing a lot of sandalwood oils lately. After shower, a couple of drops on neck and behind ears.
Ranging from real old Santal old antique Fritzsche Bros to Kangiiten and Ajmal.

Santal Luxe is intense yet smooth. I was told it is from same material Tyger Santal was distilled from but slightly more resinous pieces.
I feel like both of these oils are of course similar, being distilled from the same wood but quite contrasting too in a lot of ways.
Tyger Santal is darker, mature, rugged, incensey, woody with some green tinge here and there. Santal Luxe is more classy, traditional and elegant looking younger brother. For real classy buttery experience, I would swipe Santal Luxe.
PS: I have never smelt an oil like Tyger Santal. It is so unique, for an instance it is hard to believe that it is even a sandlawood oil. So, that makes it a must try.

As far as LuckyOud as a house, I have each one of their oils except Assam Emerald, I think. @rojas can attest to that. I did try Hind Kinam and it is indeed a brilliant hindi oil. Tura, Royal Kalakaasi, Assam Tresor, Rooh Assam, Assam Emerald, Anokha are the heavy weights that I liked a lot. Let me know how your journey with LuckyOud goes.

Thanks for replying! I think lucky has probably moved to the top of my list!

Wearing this one again. I’m really enjoying it. Just has this old sandalwood furniture smell. My wife calls either oud or sandalwood “the wood”. As in “you’re wearing the wood again”. She thinks it smells great too.

ASO Mysore.

A lovely Sandalwood unlike anything I’ve smelled before. A peppery spicy but almost floral opening with a salted butter and creamy heart and finally a very nice musky base.

If I had musk this would be perfect for macerations!

Also unreal projection I’ve never seen such projection off a sandalwood before.

This is my first post so forgive me if this is a bit of a non sequitur. When I began as a perfumer, about 12 years ago, I wanted to make a sandalwood perfume. Curious, I bought small amounts (anywhere from 3 to 15 ml.) of sandalwood oil from all over the world, most of which claimed to be from Mysore, and from wild trees, at that. Out of about 2 dozen, only one was indeed wld Mysore. Is it possible that most of us have never even smelled the stuff?

There are many varieties of Sandalwood. Many have distinct signature notes to them.
Mysore Sandalwood is heralded as the finest but it really is a matter of taste. That people have recently been calling everything Mysore, when clearly it is probably not is just down right deceit.
