Everyone raves about how smooth and buttery Indian Sandalwood is. Well I have it and it is very weak, smoky and, not at all smooth. This is not in my understanding a pure mysore oil. Or if it is, it has been badly distilled.

Thank Thomas I understand now. The article is brilliant as-well. Can you or someone guide me to where I can buy a sweet sandalwood from? Ahmir

I understand what you are saying thomas but I needed someone to tell me how it should smell in terms of sweet, creams or smoky with low silage.

Hello all, its been along time since I was last here :) Anyway. I ordered the Dabur sandalwood oil which, I want to mix some precious musk grains which have been marinating in another sandalwood oil for the last 6 years. I don't have much experience with sandalwood oils except for a...

I have the Salman and don't like it. Its very strong and overpowering. Very indiany in its profile. others may disagree

I am interested in Ensars Oud based perfumes but seeing as I use tiny amounts of oud and other oils for personal pleasure only I was wondering if I would get through a bottle of oud parfum in time. I know the oud would hold for a long time but what about the other ingredients? How long would...

Can someone please tell me the difference in scent between jasmine grandiflorum and Sambac. The oils at enfleurage look tempting. Are they almost identical or somewhat different? Which is the best to mix with sandalwood oil? Also, can anyone point me to where I can get a decent sandalwood...

Would you say Yaqoub is like urjani by Taha. It smells like Yusuf but darker and more musky. I want to buy Dervish but if it is very similar to Yusuf then I don't think I would want to buy. How similar would you say it is to Yusuf? And how similar would you say Yaqoub is to Yusuf...

well the good stuff is always sold out!

thanks for replying guys. I will get some mermaid stuff and 'surf the scent wave'......I forgot I posted in this thread and only saw it today

So you never described for us what Yunus actually smells like. I want a deep dark chocolatey, earthy and horse leather hindi. Is this the one??

thanks by the way I just saw that pure incense is selling mysore sandalwood oil for a very cheap price. What do you make of it Maastika?

OK, So I need some pure incense sticks. The post is too lengthy for me to go through everyone. Someone mentioned Mermaid. In one of her ingredients I saw an accord. How pure is she? I need oud based but it does not have to be oud. Any nice pure incense stick would be fine. Preferably from the UK

I see what you mean Alaskan. I too prefer my smells slightly wet too! The Malaysian smells like an oil I have from Oudline. The dry-down is of dry black currents. I don't like the oil as it does not develop much.

Sorry to hear KSSS did not do it for you Alaskan. Personally I like the KSSS over Kampuchea and Yusha. Firstly, KSSS lasts ages longer than both the others. Its deeper, darker, more resiny and somewhat smokey oil. Its opening is like thick cherry syrup. The Yusha and Kampuchea by comparison are...

According to Ensar an oil stored away from heat and light in a normal bottle with plastic stopper should last decades. His oldest oil is from 1982 and still smelling the same

Am trying to add a picture but finding it hard. how do I add a picture?? I click the picture icon to attach but it does not work

Kakao I am aware of Ensar's offerings but I want to move away from the oud genre for a while. I believe all of Ensar's Mukhallats are oud based. At some point I will buy some but at the moment I need a change masstika I thought J Steele was the owner of WLA - my mistake

there must be another way to order. Maybe do a group buy with someone from the states? OR from other recommended websites. Anybody recommend any other sites tat do decent attars?????
