A nice fat swipe of Bliss du Boche!
Like the sun peering over the horizon; the opening blasts a salty orange-blossom honey.
As it settles the citrus-salt bitterness prevails while the honey accord shines through boosting it.
All and all, not the kind of oud I need to closely observe, but a great daily wear;
A generous swipe for the wrists and one for the pulse points on the neck, and I'm good to go!

2 mile bicycle ride home from gym, pausing for a moment on a bridge to contemplate an orange ball of sun sinking toward the horizon through purple layered clouds over Sykes Creek in Merritt Island.
EO China Sayang still singing...breathing in with gratitude and peace for the moment I am blessed to experience.
That's a beautiful experience, @timoudthy, thanks for sharing.
I love how even when I think the oud is gone; a walk, or any form of exercise (raising the body temperature) brings forth the aroma in a renewed and robust way.

Couldn't have said it better ... it's a good everyday Oud ... enjoyed it while I prayed my night prayer in the mosque....

SOTD: EO China Sayang
41 years of commuting to my job at Kennedy Space Center. This was my favorite time of year to make the drive. The cool spring mornings and air verdant and rich with orange blossoms from the many Indian River citrus groves pouring in open windows. Unfortunately now the groves are all gone. Citrus greening, canker, neglect and the pressure of land values for development have completely taken their toll... Sad. These days... I am so humbly grateful to be so fortunate to breathe deeply of sacred ouds as I make my 20 mile commute.
Oud to the rescue. Time to slow down and appreciate the good things

is to the dot exactly as I was seeing in my minds eye. Mellow marjoram/tarragon sautés in brown butter. Whispers of leatherwood honey in the back. The oriscent way presents a bitter core and an almost Vietnamese vibe to the oil while the buttery fat oudy marrow of the cummingiana variety remains truthful and typical. A regal yet finessed oil. Words like pristine, put together, simple yet profound come to mind. Beautiful oil and as expected tops all the philipino oils I have had to date.

If you want the green and butter accord multiplied by 5, al hashimi Adan is yours. Minimal honey and sweetness.

If you want the cooling mentholated honey and the buzz accentuated with an ethereal feel and minimal butter base then philipina 1.

If you are looking for a balance of all components but some rough edges and an oil not yet fully ready then imperial oud Mindanao is your medicine.

If you want the same balance but on steroids and some of those mind bend Vietnam and oriscent bitter notes, with no harsh edges, angularities or otherwise anything out of place, then only pinoy Ltd would do.

My man JK has my respect putting this out to the market. :cool:

Red Cambodi fermented fruit, pulsing, medicinal, refined.

I've never really tried a Cambodi that I'd call royal. I guess there's a first time for everything.:D

Morning Scent - Fumigation with Hindi, Cambodi and Filipino Chips and blended that with Penhaligon Levantium (this perfume just gives me a very middle eastern vibe)

Night Swipe - ASO Al Rubai'ie what an experience

To perk myself right up and get ready for a big meeting tahas malaya went on. Terpene overload. This is mind medicine first and foremost then a scent. A richer more viscous fuller and touch more purple cola nut juice. If three bottles of ayu were squeezed in one and couple drops of purple kinam added, and a whisper of smoke the results would be malaya
