Good evening my fellow Oudh lovers,
I just came across something which is causing me to scratch my head and that is, someone selling Tigerwood 95 mixed with some coconut oil on Ebay? An equal 2.5 ratio with both items. I am not putting down the seller but how and why would anyone mix such a precious oil with coconut oil and advertise it as 5ml of Tigerwood 95 (read the fine print)
The TW95 is a oil of such high caliber and just seeing that caused me to write this post. If anyone has any experience in doing so, could you please share? Still shaking my head on mixing a oil like TW95...

I think it's sacriligeous but to each his own. If you buy it, it's yours to do with as you please.

I agree, you can do whatever you want with any oil you buy. It's yours and do whatever you want with it. The reason I brought it up was solely because of how beautiful TW95 is. Can't think of anything on how you can beautify it more but that's just my opinion.
My intention has no disrespect to anyone. If anyone becomes offended I ask for your forgiveness.

Thanks for pointing that out, Koool... This is just a really perfect illustration of what you're getting into when buying an oil secondhand. In this case the seller fortunately had the integrity to point out that he'd blended the Oud with coconut oil, and he deserves credit for that. But I know cases of oils getting resold as 'new and unused' and I know for a FACT the oil had been used. And I see people selling oils they never bought from me as genuine and authentic as well as 'unopened' and 'never swiped' -- meaning you're getting oils not secondhand but third and fourth hand with a very slim chance of such claims being verifiable. If you're after old oils we no longer stock, it doesn't cost much to drop us a line to verify the seller is a genuine EO customer who bought the items from us.

Kool, I had a shocked reaction also when I saw that listing. When I read that it was mixed with a carrier oil, I thought to myself, "are you crazy":eek:
Let's just call it a tragedy :(

I agree, diluting such a precious oil. :eek: But at the end of the day, to each his own! They might have diluted it due to having sensitive skin. o_O

Coconut oil seems like a strange choice as it's quite strong smelling and it also goes rancid over time.

Agreed. Jojoba oil would've worked better and isn't expensive. Another thing that caught my attention is that the seller claims that Tigerwood 95 was distilled under @Ensar's supervision. o_O I sent him a message letting him know.

Dear Koolio,

Upon reading this I was enraged that someone could despoil such a treasure so, but oh, more to be pitied than scorned.

He held a ruby and ground it into dust.
