No worries it's easy to get stuff mixed up.

Agarwood oil (same thing as oud oil) is traditionally made by distilling pulverized agarwood pieces. There is no raw resin that oozes out - it is all trapped in the pockets / pores of the wood.

Today, CO2 is commonly used to extract an oil from pulverized agarwood as well.

It all comes from processing the wood.

Thanks @Mr.P Thought they were related but differently created!

Mozambique (30ml Gold Edition EDP) - Ensar Oud

 

[CyberOud]

Sourced some second-hand bottles of ASO's Zuhayr, Leen, Jamaal, Sukar, Siam, Arakan, Modhesh, Layl, and A'meen.

Still looking for Java Arch - no luck so far.

And now I'm intrigued by Al Bayt Al Ateeq II - I got a sample of it and I'm quite impressed masha'Allah. Wouldn't mind 1ml of both Java Arch and Al Bayt Al Ateeq II.

Really happy with this 167 gram Treasure of the Old Forest sculpture. Put it right in the middle of the living room. And the wife loves it.

That's a beauty! It also doesn't look like it's been pawed over 1000 times which appeals to me. Nice clean natural surface. Congratulations!

Nagaland Hindi Oud oil - Palace Oud

Looking forward to this. It’s a new vendor I stumbled across. Hoping I find a another failsafe vendor.

I've got another .3 on hold of Alamgir 1 from AlHindoud because it's INSANE and I don't know how my life will continue when I eventually run out!! Just kidding..not..lol. Although in saying that, there is a 1 as part of that name so one would assume there will be a 2 at some point in the future?

Trat Sweet - Naqwat Albakhoor

Just trying a new place.

 

[Mr.P]

Has anyone tried the oud or sandalwood from santal_and_oud on instagram? They reached out to me, I haven't heard of them before but the way they communicated suggests they are in tune with artisanal/ fine oil production.

 

[aoudgauze]

A long list. I probably need to take a break for my wallet's sake:

Tabeer Oud
Sultan Altamash 1g
Kyara Classique 1g

AlHashimi
Dehn Al Siam 2.5g
Viet Kong II 2.5g

Yes, I have some information about these guys. They are artisanal sandalwood distillers, and their oils typically show a santalol percentage ranging between 69% to 74%. My only concern is that based on what I’ve studied, pure sandalwood oil should ideally have a santalol percentage above 90%.

For comparison, I purchased Mysore sandalwood oil from sabdulsamiperfumers (a traditional distiller), and the GC-MS report shows a santalol content of 91%. Maybe this percentage difference is simply the gap between traditional and artisanal methods of distillation.

I bought a lot this weekend. I'm incorrigible.

Am getting 100 or so essential oils throughout the months and I bout Attar bottles too. 100 of them. Perfumery was a hobby of mine, I even too classes at Pratt University in the art of blending. I'm lucky to have a job as its going to take a while to pay off my credit card!

I'd like to know your thoughts on Ceen X. I picked it up recently and was a little underwhelmed. It's super thick but doesn't perform too well. I'm waiting for the weather to change or just my nose to take a break from it. I like it but I was hoping for a little more medicinal notes up top.

I put in an order with Sibermusk.

1g 30% Siberian musk in sandalwood oil.
1g of the pre-cleaned Siberian grains.

My curiosity got the better of me.

Cheers to Sibermusk for the forum discount code. Definitely sweetens the deal!

That's a shame. Yeah I'll post here when it arrives
