I had similar issues with all the Kinams I sourced for Floating Mountains regardless of where it was coming from, one did a zig zag across most of the main South East Asian countries and took over a month. The only assurity I had was that it was being carried by DHL.

@DubOudh hopefully it will come direct to you via Germany, that's the usual landing point from Australia as it the DHL main DC in Europe, then they will route it either on a direct flight or anothet carrier, inshaAllah!

I fully anticipate opening us your parcel well before Christmas Dear....DHL are without question, one of, if not the most efficient carrier out there. It never ceases to amaze me just how organized their distribution network is.It has already arrived in Germany hub..

Agreed! DHL has been awesome. Always takes USPS more time to get the package to me once it's in their hands, than DHL takes to get it here from overseas.

Well I spoke too soon and praised DHL too early...
They have just announced.....German mail firm Deutsche Post DHL has also halted all deliveries of parcels to Britain and Ireland.
The Royal Mail has halted all deliveries to Europe as well.......except Ireland.....

 

[Alion22]

i wonder how they do to deliver packages that fast from all around the world. They probably use more than one excel sheet for organisation

Prachin Antique from Immortal Oud. Still. Mail times are crazy slow right now! Maybe by tomorrow.

Hey Leander,
how is it, the Prachin Antique? I never tried a proper Thai, but I am worried about the "fermented notes" as I read in this forum about them.

Hey Leander,

I might suggest going for something like this:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/758313...arch_query=thai&ref=shop_items_search_2&crt=1

Or really any of RBO's Thai offerings - he's got I think the most options for proper wild thai oud on the forum at this moment. Ish says in the listing that this one doesn't have any soak notes to it, so thats a good sign. As always when ordering from Ish, he's uber generous with the samples so it's a great way to get your nose on many other natural scents while your at it!



Also - just want to pause for a second and say that RBO is getting slept on heavy in the reviews. I swear I check his page every couple months and theres always brand new oils! So many I want to try. He just humbly doesn't mention any releases but keeps putting out heaters 🙂 I really want to try this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/914886322/wild-indonesian-oud-oil-kerinci-seblat?ref=shop_home_active_2

Well I'm not great at reviews. I lack the knowing and experience. But I have to say that their description on the wedsite is very accurate. The first thing I noticed is intense musty, wet soil smell. Which I myself love, being a gardener! Then I notice some leather, and I think a bit of tobacco. The end is a bit softer, with the scent of wood and resins. I CAN tell you it has staying power though! I like it very much, but to me it is a bold scent. Or maybe I'm just wimpy?
