    You must choose one bottle of Oud for the rest of your life...

    If I was living by myself I would pick a holy oil like Kyara Ltd or Nha Trang. If I had a significant other it would be Sultan Ahmet or Sultan Mustafa :)

    Santal Sultan Privee Originally I was going to save up for one expensive oud oil, but opted for a Tola of this instead. Within the last few years, my skin becomes itchy and leathery in the spot I apply my oud or attars. I don't break out in hives, but there is a mild irritant on the skin...

    Oud Biz: Real Talk

    Praise Jesus can we lock this troll thread now. Although you might be tempted to respond to trolls by refuting things line by line, never ever ever do this. It's just a red cape in front of twitter trolls. When you're smeared online, there's a temptation to defend yourself, but this only...

    The Sisters Of Mercy were always a great band, guaranteed to scare your parents to death when growing up. Here is a good example of the Sisters scaring your parents in the early 80's: Too bad Andrew Eldridtch and The Mission parted ways. My favorite song from 'the gift' is Finland Red, Egypt...

    Oud Is My Fortress

    Great post Adam, I relate very much. So nice to have you back Steel :) I dedicate this vid to Steel: Peter Murphy of Bauhaus moved to Istanbul about 15-20 years ago. It wasn't religious oriented like Cat Stevens, but he probably got treated like a cult icon too much just Like Cat Stevens and...

    Here is a good video from youtube showing a butane extraction: There is certainly no distillation rig involved as with ethanol, no technique. It's a brute force hack, the only variable is the material used.

    I never tried Ensar's resin, but I got a kick out of him executing the idea after me mocking it, and I am sure his blows Eden Botanicals out of the water. I did however try to troll him pretty hard as a response. I hope someone out there enjoyed the resin, Rasoul is the only one I know of that...

    I saw a fav band of mine at the Bill Graham venue The Warfield in S.F. for new years eve. They are called Sound Tribe Sector 9, or STS9 for short. Great band for studying/reading/driving since no lyrics. Hope you like:

    Review - Kinamantan from EO: Since Rasoul loves this so much I thought I could say a little sumtin sumtin. From just the bottle, it reminds me very much of Borneo 5000. The most delicious blue lotus note on the planet mixed with the borneo series wood/scotch pine note. However, unlike Borneo...

    There is a park in Los Gatos that has a large lights display for Christmas that normally you pay to drive your car around and look at the lights. It's right down the street from the Netflix main office. This weekend only they allow people to walk the route. I needed an oud that would counteract...

    I love it, OG acid jazz before anyone else was even doing it. I missed this late 80's era, I was down the Garcia rabbit hole by this point. Here is one of my fav jams from my dance club 808 drum machine era before I went on the Kesey bus: Complete with Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight samples in the...

    I find it very amusing that the original poster on basenotes just concludes 'It must be a solvent extraction, that explains the impurities, so hey no biggie'. So let's take a little history lesson here. In the history of essential oils, solvent extractions didn't exist in 1985 for the common...

    Review - Nhek 1976 There is one oil in my collection that I don't wear anymore, and will give it a few years to mellow out, because it is just tooooooo much. That oil is Kambodi X. It is crazzzzzy strong, and not in a barny way. The only way I can describe it, is it resembles a leather tannery...

    This morning I put on Mysore 1984 and Santal Sultan on both arms. Both are really really low notes, but the Sultan has an addicting buttery sweetness that rounds out the 84's bitter 100 year old driftwood smell. Can still smell them clearly tonight but only up close.
