    Oud Impressions

    There are a lot of Ensar Oud oils for sale. And last day, Kruger made all cautious about getting second hand oils. Any way, the website is beautiful.

    Oud review request thread

    Viet Zephyr is almost a tropical jungle in a bottle. Foresty and soily trails are so soothing. Zephyr is replete with the rain scent of the last night. Oud Yusuf and Fragrant Harbour are the best organic oils. Though certain notes are different- Trat and Chinese- especially the middle notes and...

    IO's Siddhartha (Sri Pada :)) & Mysore Sandal: Their proximity is where every thing exists. All else is dross! Series of Pinnacles! If there were Musk, the triangle would have swallowed me.

    Oud Oil 101

    That's it. Final verdict is here; otherwise, I had got the view a new thread would be there about tasting oud oils. Though I myself sometime taste oils, but to judge its smell through taste buds. But now onward, no way.

The very nucleus of Borneo Zen is Musk, and the rest of fragrances- oudy, floral and citrusy- just revolve around it like whirling dervishes spiritually...

    Oud Zachariyya by EO: 'RIPENESS is all'; and "The rest is SILENCE". Only these Shakespearean expressions can, to some extent, depict OZ's oceanic depth and width. Is it really a man-distilled oil? This question arises; and 'YES, ENSAR' is the answer. A dab of 'divinity' is there in its each swipe.

    EO's Oud Yusuf and FO's Rooh al Hind: Separate swipes on each wrist. Oud Yusuf is the way it is said in Arabic "is'm ba'a musamma'a" means name and attributes are one and the same: BEAUTY. The delicacy of its notes are just like exquisite notes "ala'ap" emanating from Santoor by Pandit Shiv...

    Assam Organic by EO: Well, the world of Oud is ruled by Hindi, and in Hindi domain AO Meghalaya is the crown, for me at least. It is like a beloved's wrath that is, in reality, a sheer beauty.

    Thanks a lot, my respected most akhi, for this prompt response. No doubt, Mr Coburn does respond even within three hours. Therefore, I was shocked when I didn't get any reply. Your toil, sweat and your unconditional love for Oud infused in your OILS is second to none. This is what I have got...

    Oud Haroon

    Interesting and fascinating first 2.5 minutes of the video. No doubt, EO's oils are lush. Though I have just smelt two of EO's oils yet, but that is enough to determine the supremacy and delicacy of the EO's oils. One query: In the video, the sample vials read .25 gram, while on the website it...

    You are welcome, kesiro. Thank God, '...a fight of ideas..' could possibly be there, and not 'ideas of fight;). Yes, we have to be true unto our own selves being honestly impersonal! Peace!
