i wasn't that much into oud before i became more intrested in reading about it less than two years ago,that's when i was introduced to Ensar's website , i ordered his oud sampler that contained( assasm organic, chinesse exclusive,irian emerald and the cambodies), i realley liked the cambodi caramell, i looked for a similar type of oud in kuwait, but i couldn't find any, untill i tried an oud oil at a shop in the perfume exibition in kuwait, that oud oil was so delecious that made me come back to the shop and ask the guy (what's this oil? where is it from?), he told it's a thai oud oil from Trat, the smell realley resembelled cambodi caramell except it's sweeter . Since that time i'm exploring many kinds of oud oils, lately i bought a( Tarakan oud oil ), it was some like a middle ground between malaysian oud oils and the sweet cambodies. also the legendary Kalakasi is one of the top ranked oud oils here with it's (sweet,light, no fecal notes).
Nasser75, did you get a sample of the Cambodi Cacao, if so what did you think of that, I got that one 1st from Ensar, I got hooked on quality then, bought another Cacao right away, I just cracked the 2nd last night I put a dot on my arm & could smell it for hours. I never got a caramell though

few days ago i went to one of ASAQ shops and i asked the man there to show me the various types of Kalakassi, and he showed me the bottles, one of the bottles had this statement "aged for 75 years" or "aged for more than 75 years", it was the one with the price 640 kuwaiti dinars (about 2270$) per tola,
the other types are more expensive , one was 1200 kuwaiti dinars (4285$) per tola and the topnotch was 1600 kuwaiti dinars(about 5714$) per tola, the last one had this wriiten on the bottle( pure and very old) i dont know how much (very old) means!!, i asked him to have a sniff from the crystal cap without applying it ( they didn't let me apply it ), i couldnt detect anything special about the last two as the most expensive one did have an unpleasant note, i dont know how to describe it as i'm not that good at describing notes, but it was like a noise in an orchestra, and didn't rhyme with the other notes, i tried in the past oud oils that had complex and cantadictive notes but that one was too wierd and unbalanced.

Asalam ualekom to all of al you,
This is my first message in the foro. There is just a few months I discovered the Oud World but i have not try one yet. Can you believe it?
I am so exiting to star with this adventure that Oud has become to me. Ready to order some somples an so on. Lets see where this leads me.
Adam I read your message and it was a bit shoking, Not a drop of oud in Al Haramain products, I wonder how many brands would do this? Al Rehab, Swiss Arabian, Rasasy, Ajmal maybe....? I don't know but it is a bit scared to pay for a product, a bunch of bucks, to find out there is not what they said.
It is for sure is not all about the price, but If someboy want to sell 3 gr of Oud for 40$ the product probably has not see Oud in it's entire life. Last week i went to a local shop were they offered me.......wait for it........3gr Oud oil for 4$ !!!!!!!!!!!! I ask them, with all respect i could, if that was a joke and he just say "No...it comes from India man" Please do not laugth but I bought it (hehehe)...just because I was curious, and I have never tird Oud like I said but taht thing smell very bad, very strong smell that remind me cheap varnish
When I see the Al Haramain website (or Al Rehab too) and I see the prices I think like in the shop that this is a bad joke. But then i see other prices like in Oudimentary for some products like Thai super or Thai Old (around 50-60$) and a do not really know what to think.
Could someone give me a hand about where to get some real OUD OIL at some reasoneable price (if i have the money i would get Ensar's samples but is not the case).
