do you wear oud as a scent or to be transported? to be moved and feel like a jolt of lightning has hit your soul. if only that transportation quality would do, then you be wise to look up what agar aura is about to put out: two mean oils by names of Malaya (think Ayu on steroids or a friend of purple kinam (that purple and that cola nut note is much rounder and fatter than ayu, while the rest of the scent is different from PK, both have a certain transportative quality) and the other meaner oil is royal maluku 2.0 (ceram/seram) source wood. butter butter and more orris butter notes meet philipina 1 notes and other general cummingiana notes but there is a feminine beauty underneath it all that is captivating.
what a lovely time we live in to see true artisans putting their aesthetic stamp on different regions and turning up oils that are bliss in a bottle. i dont mean to sound cocky, far from it, i remaina student for life, but i have not been truly wowed lately by many oils. last amazing oil i tried that had my soul leave my body was Oriscent Papuya. today that happened again with royal maluku.
