Moving past my oil Blietzkrieg, anybody have any idea of why the rash, in my instance, shows up only during the drydown phase?
It is not fungus, since it just happened with previously unapplied oud of high quality from a different dealer, and it started in summer when the microscopic haze of pollen usually gives me randon red spots that itch, similar to a mild hives.
It takes 3 days to pass, and leaves a very ugly and obvious patch of red angry looking skin. My reasoning was that the pollen stuck to the oil(plus the oiliness of my own skin is rather high) and greatly exacerbated my usual allergy, since scrubbing the area before applying greatly minimized (but did not cure!) the problem.
Any distillers know the usual chemical constituents of oud in the drydown?

Thanks
On the plus side, my oily skin means that essential oils retain their fragrance for a LONG time.
