Borneo 3000 or Kalbar 3000

[d.dog]

Floraopia, about an hour ago I posted a question about that free bottle of Royal you were giving away(kidding!). I did ask about your comparison of Royal & Royal 2, I'm new to these awesome vintage ouds. After I posted the question I applied a swipe of Kalbar 3000, a bottle I received yesterday. I realized it reminds me of Royal 2, I got it out & to me, it did at first, now an hour later it's changing to a more incense amber note & getting sweeter by the minute. I'm happy I chose to get the Kalbar after reading this thread. I don't know if anyone agrees with me as far as the top notes. I also liked the Kalbar 3K & the Royal 2, more than the Borneo 3K, so far anyway, I'm not putting down the Borneo 3k obviously that's another excellent oud, this is just my opinion.
When I opened the package, the box, Kalbar 3000, then there was a bundle of Brunei Exquisite, this a most exotic order I received. I also received a sample of Oud Zachariyya, an awesome Hindi?
This is a perfect example of why I enjoy doing business with him, I know I'm getting what I pay for & sometimes more.

d.dog may you tell us something about Oud Zachariyya ?

I don't have enough experience to tell if steam or distilled or what kind of wood.
It was sent as an example of a feral oud, I personally like it, its a good clean Hindi.

Will comment later,

Thank you d.dog,I think it is similar to Oud Ibrahim(Burma).
Oud Ibrahim is feral clean ,sweet and resinous .

abdullah, I've been having trouble with my computer crashing, I just sent a quick reply so you didn't think I left you hanging, this is the 4th time I tried to answer, (hyjacked my wife's computer).
As a novice oud addict this is my impression of Oud Zachariyya; When I received my package I chose to wear the Oud Zachariyya because it is very interesting(good). I have it on again tonight I like it alot, going by my other Hindi oils this(sample) is my best including another incense grade oil I received 2 years ago from a reputable Assam distiller, this is a very well balanced, clean, refined, feral, sweet, & a little smokey(hydro distilled?), incense or as good grade Hindi oud oil.
I can only go from my past collection I like this one best, it's a cleaned up Hindi, I have no idea what quality Ensar would grade it, I only hope I did it justice.

I'm sorry for the delay, now I have to restore my computer to factory settings, right now.
