600 members is the benchmark to become the largest such group on Facebook. I’m sure we will get there and exceed this number.

Hey bud, yeah - great to see you here! I'm well thanks, actually recorded a video on Monday that I need to follow-up on and then post - my first fragrance-related youtube video this year 😅

I'll look out for it.
 
I don't have a Facebook account and I'm curious to know what I'm missing out on here. Is this facebook group pretty active, and is there any discussion beyond postings related to sales / swaps?

There's very little to no discussion going on that I've noticed but I believe that's the point. It's for sales/swaps only. There are definitely a number of posts a day. The page seems to be doing it's thing well. Unless you want to monitor what people are putting up for something in particular I wouldn't worry that you're missing something.

It's an exchange Group Mr. P. The exchange is for items. However, I would imagine people exchange DM's.
I think you have to stay relevant to what's been posted.
He's a scenario.
You and I start a conversation at first about the item listed on a post.
Then we start talking about other things and more things on top of that.
Imagine the person who posted the item for sale.
Every time the seller thought he had an inquiry, it would be us talking about the weather in Fuji.
I don't say that in jest, because it happened to me. It wasn't for sales,it was just a post.
Now if it was only just one post, but it wasn't.
This was when I was on G+. Yes, Mr.P, I had a G+ account.
I had just over 50,000 subs.
For some odd reason, my channel was a hub for chatting.
Little birds just chirping away, all day. Drove me nuts.
My email would just blow up.
I was on FB beforehand. This was way back when FB was floating between $24 and $30.
It was great. I had the chance to talk with up-and-coming artists and the like,
I got off FB because I didn't like how they wouldn't let you delete posts.
I think that had to do with investors. The more posts and interactions, the better.
I got back on it because of Russian Adam.
I only have 9 people that follow me and I follow them.
It's mainly people from here and Gary U and Sultan Pasha.
Beforehand I had just under 5,000 followers.
I like how I have FB set up now. Micro.
FB does read your browser.
I didn't like that. Now I have awards from different designers and niche houses.
I turned it around.
I think I've added some people from YouTube.
I know I've added Sproaty, or is that Insta.
Anyway, I don't have sales or a store, so I can stay small and have fun.

That's right, it is just a few posts a week for swap items or sale items and the Resident Artisans posting promos now and again on the discussion group which they would not be allowed to do over here. The other advantage for now is that members don't have to meet the Marketplace listing requirements to post for sale or swap items over there.

Dear Ouddict Community,

I’m excited to introduce a new addition to our growing fragrance family—the Ouddict Exchange Facebook group! This group has been created to provide a more fluid space for members who are looking to trade, exchange, or sell their ouds, attars, and perfumes. While the Ouddict Exchange will offer a more commercially focused environment, I want to emphasise that it is not replacing our beloved forum—it will run in parallel to it. We will open the Ouddict Exchange to the general membership within the next 24 hours and if anyone wants to become a moderator on the Facebook platform, please contact me by DM.

The Ouddict forum remains the central hub for in-depth discussions, knowledge-sharing, and exploration of the olfactory arts. Whether you are delving into the complexities of oud distillation, comparing rare ingredients, or engaging in rich discussions about the art of fragrance, this forum will continue to be the platform for meaningful conversations and learning. It’s where our passion for perfumery goes beyond transactions and into serious discovery, research, and appreciation.

That said, the Ouddict Exchange group will offer a complementary experience, focusing on the marketplace aspect. Vendors on the forum are, as you know, strictly limited in where and how they can post their items for sale. The Ouddict Exchange Facebook group provides a freer space where trading and selling can take place without these restrictions, giving private collectors more opportunities to exchange their treasures. However, the forum remains, first and foremost, a place for the serious connoisseur and fragrance enthusiast.

Looking to the future, we are also thrilled to announce that we have a major update planned for the forum, with a roadmap to modernise and enhance it for 2025. Expect improved media capabilities, new resources, and a more user-friendly experience. These upgrades will ensure the forum stays at the cutting edge, while continuing to provide the depth and richness we’ve all come to appreciate.

So, if you’re looking to engage in commercial activities, feel free to explore the Ouddict Exchange group. But for those deep dives into the art and science of fragrance, our forum will always be the heart of our community, and I’m confident it will only grow stronger as we head into the future.

Thank you for being part of this journey—whether you’re here to explore, learn, or trade, we have exciting things ahead!

Best regards,
Nadeem
