Your thoughts on this "historic" oil

#1
Hi Oud experts. I came across this oil on Etsy and wanted to know if any of you have heard of this "museum quality" oil? Let me just state that I have no intention of purchasing this oil as it is way too costly and I have my doubts about the story.

I was however curious as to whether any of you have heard of this oil? The very long story line immediately makes me think that this is being oversold.

My thoughts on this really wouldn't be suitable to post on here. That's just my personal opinion though and I could, of course, be wrong. You can find a lot of this kind of thing on Etsy, Ebay etc. and not just fragrance related either.

I would totally agree with JohnH. The provenance is unverifiable and the speculative nature of considering this is prohibitive IMO.
It’s just me but I would only trust a very limited number of sources for anything I purchase, but that’s just me.
