Awaiting Malik Al Taif and Oud Luwak attars from latest releases by Areej le dore
Please do review when you get a chance! Especially if you have experienced ALD's EdPs - I'd like to know how the difference in concentration comes across.
 
I'm expecting a package from RoyalBengalOuds with the following:
Wild 60 day soak Bandarban Oud [0.1ml]
Wild Bangladesh Oud Bagaichhari Mizoram [0.1 ml]
Wild Oud oil Srilankan , Adams Peak [0.1 ml]

and.. drum roll... a whopping 1ml of Attars De Montréal - I'm really excited about this one.

Here's how Ish describes this masterpiece:
"Attars de Montréal has real Siberian musk in the attar and I put wet musk grains triple filtered to take any hair debris and it blended with Smokey SriLankan , Ceylon Old Roots Sandalwood, Taif Rose ( top fraction oil ) and a whole plethora of floral oils and aged for around 8 years"

I can hardly wait!!!!

Well, your words make me want to try that one 😱
 
Gave the Malik al Taif a full wearing today. And just like that it became one of my most treasured fragrance. The rose scent is superlative and musk is a nice backdrop to the drydown. I will definitely be looking to add one more to my collection. I believe this sold out within an hour of it dropping on the website.
 
A bit more of the jasmine absolute, Egyptian, from eden botanicals on its way. It’s one of the nicer Egyptian jasmines I’ve smelled. I still crave a really nice one from Morocco but it seems Moroccan jasmine is all dried up or all accounted for.
 
I’m just not doing so good on self control this week!
Got a enough Yasuke from LMK on its way to last a while!
Finally went ahead and got a few from AA to see if it’s......what I like
Tomorrow I’m collecting tree sap from an ancient Douglas fir tree to distill and that has me excited. And it’s free

Thank goodness I got in there in time eh? Managed to snag 1.25 of Yasuke before Mr. Ouddict over here buys the guy out!

OK - so Jay's been a terribly bad influence on me lately. Here are my inbounds:

LMK Sample pack - just arrived (reviews coming soon!)
LMK Yasuke 1.25ml - coming soon!

Habzoud - 15g Sinking Sri Lankan
Habzoud - 1ml Jungle

OleFaktory - 5G Sinking Malinau (this stuff is fire - needs to be rationed out 🙂
OleFaktory - samples of some things - many a review coming soon as included were some of Jay's economy oils and a few Ensar oils I've been wanting to try

ASO - 1ml Mustaqbil malinau organic oud
ASO - a couple samples of some wood, think some indo and some malay?
ASO - dealers choice of some samples

Needless to say, I'm about close to burning through that $1200 and the gov't hasn't even issued by direct deposit yet. Haha. I'm trying to be good, but it's so hard! I will say this though, I've never been happier spending money than with the vendors here, so that's a blessing. I will say this - my purchases are getting more precise though - I've pretty much stopped buying stuff because I think I might like it or because it's a great deal in my head. I've made a pact with myself to buy what I love because otherwise what's the point. I had previously set a 15/g wood and 150/g oil limit for myself, but those numbers have been a bit more flexible lately, despite my best intentions....
 
I've got a couple orders coming down the pipe:

Way back in January I reached out to Tyson after he'd just sold out of Euphoria 2, asking if somehow there were a personal stash or reserve that I might still procure. To my delight, he offered to use his last 2.5g of Sringapatam sandal to compose one last bottle of the perfume.

Cut to early April, the package hadn't arrived and seemed lost forever. I'd been in touch with Tyson who said that he'd had multiple shipments returned, guessing that mine might still somehow turn up on his doorstep. And it did! He resent it (with tracking this time) and I expect it any day now. Talk about delayed gratification.

I also made the foolish mistake of opening a promotional email from Ensar, and ended up purchasing the edp sampler (EO1, EO2, Tigerlust, C&P). In all seriousness, I don'r regret this purchase at all. I've been sooooo curious to give these a try, it was only a matter of time before I pulled the trigger.

Lots to look forward to!

Hey man,
Do you know whether the Jummah Reserve contains real deer musk or is it muscone?

I remember SP saying in a video once that he doesn't use the real stuff, so not sure if that's changed now.

SP said Jummah Reserve is all natural so I'm going to assume it is real deer musk? From my readings, most of his compositions are all natural or close to 100% natural. He has been pretty transparent about his attars that contain synthetics.

@Joshua Riding , do you know if JR contains deer musk?

Jummah is the only composition he does that contains real deer musk the rest are high quality synthetic musks.

Nice, thank you!

But I must stress that the synthetic musk he uses is next level, I was smelling the dry down of Juriah on my arm and it was 99.9% the same as real deer musk, I couldn’t tell the difference. He uses real castoreum, ambergris etc I think in terms of animalics the musk is the only synthetic he uses
