Legends Sorely Lost

Most recent is Adam's Vietnamese wood batches. I PM'd him an order for the first batch and it was gone. He told me about the coming of the second batch and by the time I saw it posted here, it was gone. It was such a primo deal that I have a sneaky suspicion Adam bought it all himself
A couple of the oils I missed out on were the original Thaqeel and Kalakassi, I really wanted to see what all the hype was about.

Yes I was also. I just saw a few available yesterday. What happened? It was such a good deal also. I just didn't have the $$ to buy it but was planning on getting a bottle in a few weeks. Well I guess that happens in the Oud world. One minute it's there and the next gone with the wind. Don't worry Sir Robert, your patience will be rewarded. LoL @PEARL on Adam buying it all hahaha.
@PEARL I too have missed out on Thaqeel and I would do anything to get my hands on some just to see what all the fuss was about. Regarding the Kalakassi, however, I think @Oudamberlove has a sample of the PRE-reformulated stuff if I am not mistaken. I have been contemplating getting myself a sample...
I got the pre-reformulation Kalakassi 80 yr from TWIS. I'm sure the original Famous Kalakassi was batches way before the TWIS stuff. If it was one of the very early batches, I could probably smell a big difference. Nowadays the percentage of 80 yr aged oud in Kalakassi is less than 5%. I don't think that there's much of those older batches of Thaqeel and Kalakassi in the collection of Oud Lovers nowadays because I haven't read any detailed reviews of them in the Forums.
This is a beautiful idea.
Heartfelt love, and remembrance for the creations that have brought joy into our lives.
So many have already written such fine reviews for their favourite oudhs, this is a further place to reminisce while listening to ghazals.....
As I am rather new to the experience of artisanal oudh, I can only stand by and observe your lamentations.
Me and my pile of Assamese oudh have been knocked off our perch.
The only thing I can add at this point is my sadness for missing Dhul Q, which I missed by a mere few hours.
Really gorgeous, and exactly what I needed in my life at the moment.
I am treasuring the wee remnants.

@Oudamberlove My apologies, I did not realize there was a PRE PRE reformulated one
Oud Dul Kilfl real thick and incredible , can't find that same scent profile and feeling that I am chasing the dragon in a good way , aaahh Ensar , I bet he has a bottle in the archive , will give up my prize fishing Rod for that Oud ( Caught thousands of fish with that Rod ) To catch the Kifl is dream come true again
For me it has to be Sultans Solace by Agar Aura. Boy what an chance I missed not to have grabbed a bottle! Quite odd that not many people ever talk about this one? Is it because not many have tried the oil or am I just overly obsessed with this one. Any Oud talk I ever have with people, that always starts to conversation. Interestingly there is his next of kin coming soon, need to grab some...
