Straight from the heart. Is the combo of when the finest offering from Mother Nature and the guiding hand of man with sensibilities come together that yank my soul to the clouds. I hope you and for that matter all oud lovers get to experience beauties like this one.

Guilt free fat swipe kinda oil. Drool. seriously though k find a better perfume in lesser tier oils. Top dogs are less of a perfume and more of a shuttle to outter space. Earlier I was ck Paring constradfjng royal sumatra and Suka cita from agar aura snd hands down Suka cita is more of a...

Finally... I got the oil that I didn’t even know it existed a mere week or two ago. Here is the full story. I love purple notes. Purple kinam. That violet candy in drydown of xll. The creme d Violette note of bois iris. The purple cola note in many north malay oils but the one origin and it’s...

For me is more papua than Thai but of course they are intertwined snd weave ina me out. The bitter cooling green note of papua really perfectly balanced out the minor sweetness of the Thai portion. To my nose and experience of those around me, irian erang is the most western friendly oud to...

by now those who know me know that i have a certain aesthetic but also i have gone thru phases in my oud journey. there was a time i was crazy for taha's oils, almost all of them. how can u not,when you are greeted by nothing than clean pristine crystalline shimmering top notes in such high...

hi all hope this note finds you all well. when covid started i was convinced ill have plenty of time to re-acquaint myself with my stash of oils, yet with kiddo at home and "trying" to keep up with him, by the time evenings would roll in (oud time), i would be too exhausted for oil studies...

Filipino exclusive As advertised. Impeccably cleaned. Ooooold formation. Virtually zero wood left on these nugs. Pure hardened oleoresin. Aroma is familiar but refined. Top top stuff. does best with monkoh style heating. Best part is some filipino woods have a dampness and a teipicalness to them...

Sunshine and warmth of pnw summers do absolutely best with walla oils as well as lighter shade green oils. I can’t get enough of them.

Brief first wear impressions of couple new EO oils: 2019 green papua Wow. Anticipation was high. Expectations even higher. They are met and exceeded. Very much the dna of previous GPs. That unique spice the mild sweetness the green profile too. I would say 80-90% same oil. 2014 vintage has...

Original sultani, kannan koh, twr, tw90 all have that aged round musk and liqueur thing about them. purple kinam is unique. Many of Taha’s gen 3 oils are totally unique. perhaps the ones that take the cake as most single handedly individual and unlike anything else are: ensar sultan series...

I Was talking to @OudGood about how we wear some oils all the time and then all of a sudden don’t wear them for 6 months and you come back loving them all over again and go on yet another affair together. I decided I am gonna go big so I brought out few of my top stash that I haven’t worn for...

Yusuf is to me what Khmer extreme is to you. I always have a soft spot for it. Next full vial buy for me was suriranka senkoh. On that note that what I wore today. Extremely pure and crystaline. All green blue. Salty and sweet spicy. The tenacity is just ridiculous. Lasts forever. literally 10...

Stoked. Looking forward to ALL of them. And surely I’ll snag a bit of the filipino wood. Stay well.

One oil and five wood kinda day. in the morning: al hashimi Brunei sultan Despite the name a simpler wood. But also priced intro level too. Anyways. sour plums, touch of natural funk, bitter sweet, vannilic and touch of cinammon. good on high heat and for casual burn al hashimi sinking...

B3k latest version worn as a scent at 7 am on the neck and its 3 pm and I still very much smell it at near full strength. A beast of an oil. bee pollen, honey, berries, tons of cinnamon and a creamsicle note. Also some nice castaway wood by the beach profile is lurking behind the gobs and gobs...

Ps I bet you in 5 years time give or take, we would kick ourselves repeatedly for not snatching up screaming quality price ratio oils like: mustafa7, green papua, suri senkoh, twr, hainan 05.... agar aura side: malaya, hulubalang, kiyosumi, Hindustan 1, kanzen, Suka cita.... are all ultra strong...

Lucky you tim. I am envious. Now be careful swiping stache and driving, esp with monster oils. Stay safe ;) mustafa7 is unreal. I am really fond of the signature note of the karbi region. Hard to explain exactly BUT gun to head I would call it a hindi with a light Chinese makeup. There is...

regarding the mustache part, I go with with certain oils on my stache area but with most oils I find that I get fatigued fairly quickly and don’t even get to smell what’s on me anymore. Quieter oils are great on stache but the thought of let’s say a sultan oil on stache is just too much for me! Lol

Epic write up and experiences. Thnx for taking the time to share with us. Papua 02 is such a treat. Makes for amazing Incense making material too. Kyara ketone is otherworldy. I love that distinct oriscent signature. I had a tiny sample and is all gone now but I recall I could barely tell it’s...

Indeed as you say. A very special specimen
