This forum is a bad influence on me...
My Oud collection was this...
After discovering this forum my collection now looks like this...
I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in to these. They come with a a few freebies too - very small samples but a nice touch. There was a mix up, so my order came in two parts - double samples!
I've started working through the samples. Does anyone else think these are a nightmare to get in to?? Requires so much force that the swipe pings up at you (or is it just me).
I haven't the eloquence or vocabulary to review Oud properly yet, but here's what I've tried so far:
Sultan Leather - not a fan, it's quite a metallic/chemicaly smell. Reminds of a cheap Attar that's been bought in a multi-pack.
Oud Extraordinaire - reminds me a bit of Aroha Kyaku but much more tame, only lasted on my skin for a 2-3 hours.
Laos Laosan - I really like this. Lasted easily half the day. Reminds me a bit of Creed Royal Oud. A really easy, mainstream wear.
I full appreciate these are the Newby Oud musings, so I am very happy to be corrected/educated.
Also - any recommendations on which order to work through my new collection?
I was thinking start with start with Aroha Kush and ZaZa Zen, before moving on to Satori Fusho and TWR, and after having got used to them work up to Ertugrul.

So many things on the way that I’m excited about!
AA oils :giving a 2nd try (3)
Ensar :got me on that 2g sale! ( 3)
ASO : always a pleasure (2 Oils) and wood
I’m waiting on a larger order to use in my body care line (Thai oil)
So excited to share the oud experience with A new type of customer through body care. I searched a while to find this oud and I love it so much I keep a bottle around all the time And use it a few times a week. Like today

Beautiful!
Is that basic kinam? I can't read the first part?

Yep it’s the Basic Kinam.
I think I might be listing it in the market place soon to make space for more purchases.
I have a couple of very special oils on the way which I’m very excited about.

More Ky Nam for up coming sticks, it seems Covid19 has made the Japanese dealers more generous!

It was a bulk purchase for My body care products business I don’t think the distiller is a retail Sales business.

YAY!!!
My three packages from Sibermusk finally arrived.
Ninjarobb mailed them within a day of being purchased, but the pandemic caused a 3 month delay. Important thing, is that the mail was reliable, and that my Musk Grains and Castoreum are now swimming in their tincture

You should be happy with both! I like Blu a bit more, but both are great!

I really have to agree with this statement. I did laugh when I read it.....and no...it's not just you.

I have nothing coming to me at the moment for now....It is the first time in months that I have nothing expected...which is a rather strange experience. I have had many native American flutes coming to me over the last 18 months plus a lot of camping gear during the lockdown and Ouds to beat the ban. My local parcel delivery service may well start letting go some workers if I maintain my abstinence..

Can I ask a question here about Kinam Oud?
Is there any way of telling for sure that you have bought 100% Oud from a vendor or something else?
I've been waiting for about a month...
hope it arrives in next week or so.
