From my collection, that's easy. Oud Ahmad Now if I had Ensar's entire collection on hand, I'd be sweating between Jayapula, Pusong LTD, Kyara LTD.... But Oud Ahmad holds it's own even in that line up... a bit of insider's insight for everyone: Get it while you can because I wouldn't be...

****emerges from the darkness covered in Oud Yusuf and drooling over Borneo 2000****** The last couple months have been amazing, and although I was looking forward to Iris Ghalia, the surprise of Oud Yusuf was entirely welcomed. As usual I'll save my thoughts until I hear others sharing...

Thanks for bringing this incredible content back to the surface, there is so much information buried in this forum. Much appreciated @Smelly Vision

Show's how subjective scent is because to me Iris Noir and EO NO 2 are also completely different. NO 2 is a musky spice bomb and Iris Noir is very floral to me... @Kruger strikes an analogy between a musicians and perfumers which I find very helpful. He says it better but basically every song...

When it comes to quality oud, my favorite tends to be whichever I'm wearing at the moment. There's always a reason I reach for a particular oud, and in most cases it's because it's the oud that will satiate my crave and match my current mood and the vibe I feel like exuding that day (or moment.)...

@Souhail All that said, there are also Indian ouds that exhibit pleasurable and soul stirring herbaceous nuances, not the ''rhubarb'' of the Cashmeran but as found within Karbi Anglong oud oils for example, it's "A unique buchu bush profile with the calming aroma of dried rooibos twigs laced...

Perhaps no answer is actually the best answer as it will largely depend on the concentration on the aromatic constituents within your saffron, and of course the ratio, too many unknown variables to give more than just a 'best guess.' Same with the musk, and I speak generally so as not to...

@Souhail that's fantastic, and here's another idea. Maybe not now as it's getting cooler, but in the warmer months you can place the open bottle in front of the fan for the scent to fill the room :D or point it straight at you!

Here's a helpful link for "How to Apply Oud | A Detailed Guide" Be sure to share it with anyone you know new to oud oil. https://ensaroud.com/oud-oil-info/how-to-apply-oud-a-detailed-guide

I think one question that is always pertinent is what ratio of granules to carrier imparts the properties of the musk into the carrier how does that ratio impact the needed amount of time? Also how can you tell when the carrier is fully saturated? Can it always absorb more from the musk...

*Throwback* I thought it'd be fun to resurface this thread as it mentions some of Ensar's Oud Parfum releases from back in the Oriscent days. Since their first releases Ensar has worked and reworked Borneo Zen, Thai Tabac, Jungle Kinam, and Kyara Koko honing and refining their profiles. And...

@Souhail Great to hear from you, and thanks for your post. For me it is often beneficial to determine what something is not which makes clear what it is. Unfortunately the term 'musk' has long been convoluted by the fragrance industry and now it is regularly accepted that such things as...

That's great @Rezwan, once you get it please let us know your thoughts. Aroha Kyaku is a well known Ensar Oud profile so your impressions of the New batch will be beneficial to many.

Thanks for reaching out @Rezwan, another brother from Spain also had a question regarding it and the differences between Black Sumbawa and AK2020 so I'll share my Insider Insights below: Both of these have come at perfect times for the Northern Hemisphere as temperatures are cooling and warm...

The End of Oud is very real:

I absolutely love Fall, and if it were only because of all the extra layers of clothing to scent, that'd be enough.

I totally get that 'Opera House' house feel too more so with EO No 1 for me, but both are black tie event worthy compositions for sure.

I try to wait until at least a few people have received their bottles before saying anything about the actual composition. So within a couple days I might be tempted again to share but for now I'll keep my mouth zipped :D
