I ordered some RBO Teflon Don attar, Attar de Montreal attar, Padang-Kerinci Seblat oud oil, and Ko Khram Yai oud oil. I had samples of each and felt compelled to secure some more. Both oud oils are super differentiated from everything I've smelled to-date and are mind-blowing to me tbh. I probably prefer Seblat to SQ Maroke 82, not that their profiles are similar. Ko Khram Yai starts off with purple berries and chocolate, but with some serious oomph.
Teflon Don is an amazing woody paan (the south Asian snack) smell with a sophisticated rosy-syrupyness that is not cloying (to me). Attar de Montreal also opens up with that paan-like rosiness, but the cloudy, powdery, white florals it gives way to is probably my favourite rendition of an overcrowded genre. Beautiful, beautiful stuff.

+1 on all - Teflon don (too paan for my liking) + Sri Chang/ nam dao/ even barny rangamati.

They seriously hold their own and have their own personality. The seblat opened up a world of green medicinal smelling herbal ouds for me.

Nam Dao and Rangamati are high on my list too. Sinhraja is a contender. Seblat and Khram Yai purchases were in spite of a huge lockdown on my wallet, so double props. Just couldn't miss this deliciousness wow

my first SULAYM order: Kayu and Hainan Sidr is en route. I expect a diesel-y malay oil and a honey oil, but I am very excited to get a taste of what SULAYM has to offer!

I have a couple ouds otw from an IG vendor called Aura Oud (india), which is likely same quality as price, which is within my humble “beginner friendly” budget: “Makhtoom” an aged assam, and “Sweet Trath” - a, well u know. Out to learn and wear what i can with what i have access to, for right now being what was so adequately put by @Mr.P as the “childhood / children's art” levels of oud. I infact have a childhood art hanging in my home that i also enjoy daily. Also looking forward to a few more TRNP decants that are a bit more oud focused : aguru and garden of pleasures.

How was the experience with Aura Oud? All ok?

Sokkat alteeb has a big sale same day I promise myself not to buy anymore fragrance products.
Tola of nagaland oud
3 different kalamantan oils
And prison sediment oil (believe mobyus mentioned their lack of sophistication in naming their products).
We really need a thread for addicts. Still waiting on 3 other vendors. As I've said before, I'm done.

Hi there, yes actually good experience with the seller and oils were acceptable but I did end up re-selling them after getting myself some that were a bit higher quality.

Thanks a lot for the info. I just sent you a PM. 🤝

Thanks. Im hoping i dont get charged extra by uk customs

 

[Mr.P]

I just got charged $26 by UPS because I had to pay a $0.19 fee for importing a package! Everybody is ripping off consumers these days… when the government isn't charging high tariffs, couriers are ready to pounce, basically doubling what they're making on every shipment just because they can get away with charging $26 to handle any import fee.

Talking in shipping company’s, anyone has been having problem with dhl delay delivery? I have my yusa purchase about 4 days in custom clearance in progress but never ended.

See a lot of people complaining about delays here in Brazil and I want to know if anything is happening around the world.

I think it's a widespread issue. I'm waiting on some Oud chips shipped from Australia, already 10 days past the estimated delivery date and it hasn't even entered my country yet.
Some of my friends are complaining about massive delays too.

Yes,I just got screwed the same as you by Fedex. $36 additional fee for "Storage" (this is in addition to the shipping fee) because of a $1 customs fee. Really hurt as my order was only a $100 order (so almost $60 in shipping fees) Blood suckers
