    Today was the impeccable Sultan Ahmet, Whatever type of insanity overtook Ensar when he decided to codistill PNG and Brunei...I pray it is the recurring type. This literally lasted the whole day and is still pumping out its heavenly fragrance. Abdullah wore indah Sumbawa (AA)....musk rose...

    Today was Oud Salahuddin, If oud oils had reproductive capacity, this oil would be the love child of oud Ahmad and Cambodi 1976. I imagine that this would the oud of choice for The Godfather

    Cambodi Musings

    I figured I love Cambodi oils enough that they deserve their own thread. As a brief background, I was a die hard hindi fan for the past 2 years or so, my collection attests to that. While I still love them, my focus has shifted and ive come down with a serious case of cambodi fever. One of the...

    Well, I am by no means an expert in Kinam. In fact I have never tried it before...when Ensar and Taha heard that I think they both looked at me like a deprived child haha. My experience of kinam'ed oud oils are those with some characteristics of green/yellow bitterness. Anyone who has smelled...

    So ill initiate this post with an admission that I am way overdo on both contribution and lead posts. I will get on top of this inshAllah. So in reference to the above post. I have been quite intrigued by kiyosumi because it is the most profound deep cherry note i have experienced in a Vietnam...

    Royal Guallam - aptly described by Ensar as the 'Vietnam Purple Kinam'. I do not think I would have bought it except that I had met him in Dubai and he...strongly 'suggested' I do not miss out. I wonder if he realised what a favour he did by convincing me against my rational (money deficient)...

I want a Purple Kinam Cambodi, I want a RCX Cambodi, I want an Oud Nuh Cambodi. It has....dare I say ..*gulp* superceded my love for Hindis...

    Oud Al Hind

    Well, I am pleased to report that there is still something to look forward to for us hopeless Hindi barnyard lovers.... Oud Musa (Nagaland) and Bhutan no.1 (both 2009 distillations from EO) remain well preserved and waiting to grace the Oud world with their deliciousness. It does appear...

    Quick review: China Sayang

    Completely agree with kesiro's comments and conclusions. It has everything you love about CE and Yunnan with an added sweetness which really makes it such a complete scent and very desirable to wear. I love my Chinese oils but admittedly I don't wear them often. I would wear Sayang any day..any...

    It could just be an initial feeling........ but I just sampled China Sayang and I would probably trade any of my other EO Chinese/Yunnan oils to get a bottle of this. Lets see how that perspective develops :p

    @Ensar, I brought the Watani with me when we met...remember you tried that one and said it is the only one you smelled from Ajmal that was quite well done (and pure). Very similar sentiments to Taha lol. That being said, you shared my thoughts initially because I too thought it had a very malay...

    ------- So it was mentioned before how ouddiction affects the lives of loved ones. As of late I have been wiping oud on my infants head/hair on a routine basis. It started with raksmey, sokh khmer....Xiang Lao ling...then to shano shokat....Assam 3000...TW royal. It's an every day thing...

    So I wore EO Kambodi Kadeem yesterday. Every time I smell this oil I am totally set aback by how much I love it and how unique it is...both in scent and colour (for cambodis). Special prayers hoping he has more gems like these hidden away in his cave of wonders. Being a Cambodi Day I also had...

    Sinking grade wood?

    Allahu a3lam man, it's definitely not Sumatra, I have a few batches of Sumatra and the profile is very distinct. I'm inclined to believe it's Cambodi; doesn't smell much like the Malay batches i have. Much closer to the other batches of Cambodi I have (assuming thEy are in fact Cambodi) As...

    The first to be released was the 2010, sold out maybe a year ago..::the 2007 available now is easily distinguishable by its thicker viscosity. I'm not sure about the availability of Assam 2005, I may have picked up the only bottle of it?? Ensar to clarify that .. The AO 2005 is also nice it has...

    Which Assam Organic? The 2007 or 2010? Somehow I'm way more in love with 2010, even though Ensar said the 2007 is superior (it was more expensive too). The 2010 have these notes of ripe fruit intertwined with the barn which is irresistible. Today Abdullah wore Manaka Jinkoh, all the other...

    It was under organic, u sure he said wild? Definitely an oil that was high in demand, alas ..my lack of affinity towards Borneo oils means I don't wear Bois much...at all.
