Well I received the "Bilquis" from @Al-Hind Oud 2gms recently and I was so very impressed that I have ordered a 3gm vial this time from the next batch. Quite a stunning marriage they make.

That's a big 3g! Heaps to play with.

30 grams of heartwood bead scraps.
It would be difficult to find heartwood of this quality for only $11/gram.

From @RisingPhoenix

0.3g of Salt 2022
0.3g of Blueshido
1g of Nosy Be Ylang
0.3g of Asiki Boven 2022
3g Bhutan Blue
0.4g Tibetan Deer Musk
0.4g Sichuan Deer Musk
1g Centifolia Rose Otto
10g Agarwood Tea
12 sticks Khushboo Agarbatti

I am planning on combining the rose with the Sichuan Deer Musk and 1.5g of the Bhutan Blue with the Tibetan Deer Musk. This is going to be my first attempt at macerating something by myself. I'm a little worried that 0.4g of musk is way too much for 1g of Rose Otto, so I might try about 0.2g. I am super excited! Can't wait for it to arrive!!

That's a solid selection you've got there, in fact I've also got a selection of samples I've ordered from him.

Oh wow that sounds interesting, hope it goes well for you

Got a few bottles from this brand DuomiHa off of aliexpress. Pretty cheap and claim to be lab grade.

 

[Olfactory Nomad]

Whoo hoo! Finally had a chance to pick up these goodies that got sent to my mother's place while I was away. @Al-Hind Oud thanks for that beautiful sample and the chips also.😁🙏

First oud oils from Ensar, both 0.3gram bottles. Oud Dhul Q (organic plantation Thailand + Cambodi co-distillation) and Kanbojia Senkoh which is a wild Cambodian oil.

Super excited to see what EO oils are like, both wild, and organic plantation... should be here latest Tuesday, but it's in England this morning by FedEx so might come tomorrow but it's a holiday but let's hope!!! 😁.

Just ordered some cypress and neroli from "The Essential Oil Company" in Portland Oregon. These guys have been doing this for a long time, they have a 30% off sale and their Spanish cypress and Egyptian neroli were priced right so I went for it. If this weren't such a reputable company I never would've bought that neroli - the price on that is bordering on too good to be true.

I broke the open the piggy bank last week and placed a massive order from Teone Reinthal. I'd sampled most of the things I bought and as far as the rest, I feel such a spiritual connection with her fragrances, I'm not concerned.

The total was eye-watering but it wasn't till much later I realized it was in Australian dollars. It was a bargain in U.S. dollars 🙂

Look forward to hearing your thoughts on some of these! Very nice to see someone achieving this level of recognition using straight up naturals.

 

[Mr.P]

I am surprised how cheap Egyptian Neroli is... it is quite reasonable from Eden as well. Maybe my memory is off but I thought Neroli typically commanded prices close to that of rose otto but it seems it can be had for well under $10/g these days.

This is what used to happen to me when I first started except the other way around. Was a shock everytime until I forced myself to acknowledge it will always be in US dollars. Certainly helped me curb my spending initially.

You read my mind mate! I was thinking making a post which basically said, you guys are luckily, ask Olfactory Nomad or myself, how we much we think we're spending only to realize its in USD and then, even on top of that, having to pay a 2.5% fee to the bank 😂 for their, less than desirable (though still better than the default PayPal rate)

Yeah..100%. Expensive hobby is expensive lol.

Just the basics.
These are literally the top of my wish list from months ago.

2.5 ml each Ruh Al Ward Indian otto and Mitti attar from An Najwa. Both of which I’m super excited about. (Actually I’ve had dreams about this rose!).

5ml of Java patchouli from Essential Oil Apothecary/EO Apothecare. It was this or the 17 year old oak barrel aged patchouli that she had the best price on. I could only get one, and while the oak barrel is a very smooth aged patchouli this Java is 9 years old and way more characterful. Almost boozy at first and a bit like nail polish remover in a good way. Then veeeery woody with a bit of soil scent to it, becoming sweet and ultra smooth. Already a bit musky and since I plan on adding musk to part of it this seemed the obvious choice. This would be great aged even more and I might get another bottle to hide away from myself for a few years.
