I actually use my oud oils, as I’m distancing myself from alcohol-based perfumes.
I admit, though, that the higher-priced ones tend to be put “on a pedestal” or vaulted … so, I use the others more. (I’m such an idiot. Lol.)

Isn't this always the case with higher priced oils? At least I find that to be the case for myself. I need to make pact with myself to use my more expensive bottles, at least more regularly than I currently do!
Also need to cement the mentality that, to love an oil is to appreciate it, not letting it collect dust. That's not love, that's just forgetting about something, love is all about enjoying, experiencing and remembering often. And showing off those empty bottles with pride!

I use my Ouds every day until they start to bore me then they DO collect dust.

My huge second installment of my @Al Hashimi discount sale arrives today. The merchant was EXTREMELY generous with me regarding a bunch of logistical / payment issues, and his grace says a lot about this entire community. Stay tuned...

It's nice to hear that he puts care into more than just his work!
Besides getting my non-rosey Edward Rose, I also received something from @Al Hashimi . I got Koh Kong and, as a gift, Trat Sultan. both are beautiful. They pack a powerful punch. it's obvious from trying both of them that he takes care and puts quality into his work; it’s greatly appreciated.
Feel free to direct me to any offerings before the sale ends!

I'll definitely leave a note tomorrow after I spend some time with it.

Impressions on Oud Royale. Honestly, words fail...
I just touched the inside of the cap with my pinky and then to my neck and I feel like I'm floating in a gold / purple cloud.
I wish I could afford to have this be my "daily driver" - maybe if the lottery tickets come in, some day.... but even then, scarcity is a word redefined to asymptotic limits, in this world we all share. I will say this: STILL I sense that @Faizal_p Malay Ultimé gives this a solid run for the running in making me feel, well... royal. Meanwhile I have a small bit of OR previously acquired from Scent Legends and my plan is to use that my supply and pretend I don't know this bottle exists.
Gentleman (and ladies?): I had no idea this world existed even 6 months ago, thank you for welcoming me as a (deeply bit by the "bug") newbie. Any weddings, anniversaries y'all invite me to, I'll have a purple cloud behind me.

What a great and epic oil. It is a top old school oil. Congrats
I’ve always had two controversial thoughts about it:
- as incredible as it is, I think it’s benefitted from being the first SQ oil publicly available and advertised for a long time. If purple Malay, royal Malay, badshah, Burmi 79 etc were the first SQ oil to be released they would get the same attention and price point (although other vendors have sold Oud Royale for far less than EO)
- the idea that it is a Maroke oil and distilled in 1982 is to my limited understanding conjecture. Personally I think there’s Malaysian wood involved here. When you smell Oud Sultani, Tigerwood royale, Al Diwan (from Hashimi), aged Malaysians from Al Shareef, and the other SQ oils mentioned above, it is my personal opinion that there’s old school Malaysian in Oud Royale. Ultimately no one knows.
It’s a great oil and I personally enjoy old school traditional oils more than new aged distillations, regardless if it’s from a sultan or wizard or whatever (don’t really care for the story or exclusivity). These old aged oils smell very special.
