@Anthony You know,
swipes is the operative word, and I admire that you're bold enough to do so.
I think too often we tend to just dab these oils on, a single dot to suffice for personal enjoyment, just enough to take 'sips' of throughout the day or to 'study.'
Maybe you've been there too, lifting your hand to take a whiff, and again two minutes later... and
again.
By the third or fourth time you start to look around to see if anyone else notices...
You start sneaking whiffs and trying to find inconspicuous ways of accomplishing the task so as
not to look like an
addict; applying it to the tips of your fingers so it looks like you're itching your nose, or going full intensity and putting it straight on your philtrum...
But as the
Oudept that you are, take a full swipe of that oud... actually I
challenge you, take two! And if it's the artisanal ouds that I know and love, I can
guarantee you're in for an experience like never before, and that your life will be enriched thereby.
I've heard it all too often as of late, ouds like Kusuma and Aroha Kush 'rival the likes of Oud Yusuf,' and I get it, there are similarities, but when I pry a little further I find out dots of Oud Yusuf were worn compared to swipes of the other... so what would two generous swipes of Oud Yusuf, or Wang Liao Kuo reveal?
Well I say it's time to see just how far down the rabbit hole goes!
I can hear it already...
"Why oh why, didn't I take the blue pill..."
