Hello and good evening my fellow Oud lovers,
Just got an email from Thomas Kruger on the pre release and sale of Ensar's new Oud Dhul Q. "Aroha’s granddaddy steps into the room and says: ‘Excuse me!’" Holy moly my eyes shot open when I saw that and already placed the order.
Ensar has been very generous and after seeing the price you will know what I am talking about. For 3 days only its $50 off =$199 I would suggest to everyone jump and grab it right away.

Tried this again today - I am now certain than AK fans will love ODQ - this is the darker, woodier, more distinguished relative of Aroha Kyaku, just based on my initial sample and side-to-side comparison. I would say I am enjoying this much more than AK.. There is a lovely sort of pine or terpene type smell in there to go with the wood and smoke.. Bold yet smooth (like me with the ladies)..

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what can I say. 2 days again from the other side of the world. DHL is awesome but even better is the team behind the whole setup. Thank you Ensar! Thank you Adam! Thank you Thomas!

I got this beautiful oil and the first thing I noticed was that its thicker. I opened the cap and holy moly and thought where did all these Oud chips come from? I opened the oil and I said Aroha but then I smelled again and was like woah on the 2nd sniff. A more powerful smoky flavor. The scent wasn't so strong that it pushed me away. It kept bringing me back and wow the incense, the oud chips, the agarwood is all there. The second note has that sweet smell which I was hoping for after smelling it in AK. I am so happy I got this and will cherish this for a long time. I would advise everyone who loves the smoky flavor/smell to jump and grab this. You wont regret it!

Tried this again today - wonderful oil, especially for the price - the drydown became a decadent dark jammy fruit + woody tobacco(?) sort of thing after awhile..

I put it on a tiny fly head size drop on the top of my hand about 8 hours ago. Washed the hand multiple times since. The fruity smell is still there! Wow just wow.

I have Dhul Q. And I couldn't be happier.

I am in Arizona, and this is the land of mesquite, sage and creosote. Not the stuff you put on your deck, the plant, which has an entirely different aroma than the stain. These plants, when it rains, produce an aroma, something I can't adequately describe. And if you are someplace where the mesquite is growing more heavily than the other plants, it takes on something dark and wonderful.

That's what I am getting just a tiny whiff of on drydown. As it first goes on, mesquite then, too, but it's actual 'desert campfire' smoke, mixed with the strong pipe tobacco of a friend, and the aroma of my leather jacket. I don't get the fruit so much as a sort of dry styrax/copal kind of thing when it's good and dry.

Pardon me. I have some on my thumb. I'll be over here sniffing my thumb, smiling, dreaming and making everyone think I've lost my mind. :)
