Oud Sultan Beyazit Impressions

[Gaianmind]

Hello everyone! I'd like to share my thoughts on Ensar's Oud Sultan Beyazit.

Sultan Beyazit is an artfully crafted oud of the highest quality. This oil will make you question what oud can be!

Beyazit starts off with a most delicious and clean mineral breeze. This mineral note dominates for the first fifteen minutes of the experience, quickly giving way to this ultra smooth aquatic essence. It's not a damp earthen note, or a rainy day note. It is pure sparkling million year old glacier water slowly melting in high mountain sunlight. This aquatic note wraps around your being like a leviathan and drags you into its blue abyss. The aquatic note is infused with the exalting mineralness and this enigmatic sweet scent. This delightful note is a highly desirable pure sweetness in every meaning of the word. Not a candy or fruity sweetness, just sweet!

This oil possesses great projection and tenacity. I don't think it would be possible for anybody to smell this oud and have anything but praise for it! This is the heart and soul of water transmuted into an oud oil experience like no other I've had to date. Put on a swipe and let your mind swim in its fragrant current!

GaianMind, Thanks for the detailed and insightful review of Sultan Beyazit.
The description about its watery nature makes it sound like it is close to Chinese Exclusive in its scent profile.
The CE also had this watery "wet" scent (at least to my nose).

I have not yet heard about this oil- is this available through direct purchase and could you let us in about its price please?
And do you happen to know when the planned release will be?

Thomas Sultan Beyazit came from New Guinea raw materials technically making it a Papuan oud. It is part of Ensar's Great Cambodi Experiment Sultan series. As for other oils I have tried that compare to it I'd say Kyara LTD Port Moresby and Sultan Murad 2014. Where as Port Moresby was more of a damp earthen green jungly wetness, and Sultan Murad was a rainy day in the forest wetness....Sultan Beyazit was a wet aquatic scent minus anything attached to it if that makes sense? As I smelt it I kept getting images of a warm summer day high in the mountains where I live with a crystal clear mountain stream sending an aquatic mist into the air to smell. As for it comparing to Chinese Exlusive I don't know as I have not tried it. I was under the impression CE was more of a funky Hindi type... But I may be way off. As for avalibility and price I think Ensar would be better equipped to answer that.

I happen to be totally oblivious to New Guinea/Papuan oud oils. Can you guys describe it or tell what scent profile/regions it is closely related to. Also, how are most NG/Papua oils prepared and distilled, i.e. copper vs steel, long vs short soak, etc. Thanks
