Welcome back! Wishing you continued health.

Jing Shen Liu is a wonderfully elegant oil. the scent equivalent of donning a fine tux or custom ballgown. I feel dressed up with it on even if I'm wearing ripped up jeans.

There are some very fun and nice people on the ouddict forum and also fantastic distillers/producers who make wonderful posts that do honor to oud and to humanity. But there are a few bitter souls who seem uncomfortable unless they have conflict in their lives to give them adrenaline rushes and...

I've noticed that sometimes freshly shipped oils lack the strength and nuances that they'll have after they've rested. try another swipe of this after a week or so...again maybe after a month? I have tried this oil and I liked it! Moderate sillage and lasted the whole 8hours until I went to...

Same here re the smokey air. Instead of the usual fog, I've got orange skies and campfire smells. Today and yesterday and the day before: Ensens d'Angkor for the warmth, beauty, strength and comfort that it provides.

I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend and teacher.

I've melted frankincense tears on charcoal and also on an incense greater. I use the one sold by mermade magickal arts...something lotus?? The charcoal admittedly melts quickly. I get a nicer longer scent release from the lotus. I don't turn it up to the hottest setting, but instead use a low...

Eid Mubarak

Wishing you a swift and sure return to good health, Taha!

Happy and blessed Ramadan to all!

Your new blend might only need a little time to "cook" or settle. Try again after a week or so, with as open a mind as you can muster, and see if your experiment has altered for the better.

Is it that fishy???:eek:

Which outpost is it? Sf/bay area? I don't know what they are smoking there, but sadly it isn't oud (and thankfully too for those who ordered chips) Sometimes tiny packages got lost in the shuffle. Open an inquiry through usps to get the ball moving again.

...instead of counting sheep...try counting chypre...

One piddly difference between oud and oudh is that most search engines ignore words with fewer than four letters, making oudh easier to find online.

I have this heater and use it for things like frankincense tears, copal chunks, pine resins, etc. Delighted to learn that it will work for oud as well! I had mistakenly assumed it wouldn't be hot enough. I have a perfume that katlyn made using one of ensar's ouds. Doesn't last long but it's...

New Yorker here, currently living on the west coast.

I think the fun for you will be to research this by wearing oud in different seasons and seeing what changes and does not change for you. from my own experience, oils are stronger and *may* last longer in warmer, more humid conditions. me being hydrated also affects things. and some oils my...

I had heard about agarwood originally via trygve harris, who runs an essential oil shop in nyc. I'd smelled diluted imitations and unsurprisingly none of them really motivated me to seek out and drop the cash for the real thing. it wasn't bad, it just wasn't inspiring. a few years ago, I...

this is adorable. my cat looooooooves oud. some other essential oils too but especially oud. he responds differently to different types. when I've got dr hindi on, he wants to sit in such a way that he can rest his chin in the crook of my elbow (one place where I annoint). AA ceylon 1 brings...
