Thumun Oud - Cherry Trat

Every time I think I have too many Trats in my possession, I’m reminded by the reason for that by Ouds like this one. This elicits notes that are zesty, citrusy, woody, dried plum, berry, with a rich sweetness and cherry-like accord, it has a warm oaky and woody depth to it. Very happy this morning to be wearing this.

Fwakher - Husn AlShmookh SQ VIP

This is a 20 year old blend claimed to be a SQ collectible with the ingredients not fully known. But I can tell you for sure I can detect the aromas of deer musk, ambergris, Oud, and a beautiful floral bouquet. I think it has Hojari frankincense oil as well. It smells like the perfect blend of ingredients with the perfect ratio. It’s pretty heavy on the musk and ambergris. Very animalic and marine saline accompanied by a good dose of flower power and a light bodied Oud. Very beautiful. It has a homemade feel to it but regal. Heavily projection and sillage.

Areej Le Dore

It starts with a sour and powdery top with the bergamot and blackcurrant. It lacks the animalic notes that we’re so used to ALD providing. Although it doesn’t out line any floral notes in the scent pyramid I do get wafts of florals. Mainly Jasmine. The patchouli and vetiver provide both a sweet and bitter undertone to the fragrance which I like very much. The iris and cedar wood base provide a cushion for all of the notes. I don’t think this is one of the popular fragrances coming out of ALD but it was my first fragrance from them so it has a soft spot with me. What I love also is the projection and longevity.

I’ve been dabbling in these GCC blends that include some awesome and way out there ingredients. This is one of them.

It has a golden syrupy honey texture accompanied by the most beautiful scent of Omani Hojari frankincense. It has a blend of 19 Ouds with the Cambodi Oud being the most prominent. Also, present is the amazing smell of fresh rose, patchouli and Vétiver. I’m getting some cardamom undertones from this that’s quite pleasant. This is a really beautiful blend.

KYMYA - Ayutthaya 2016

This is a beautiful South Thai oud oil. It has an aquatic and medicinal quality but not overly harsh or aggressive. It has notes of green and yellow fruit like melon, apple, and bananas. I'm getting woody qualities as well. It's elegant, and it radiates with aromatic depth. It has a bitter paint smell to it but not poisonous. It's just the wood having its essence brought out. A beautiful oud.

AlKhudir Oud - Cambodi Sultan Qaboos

This is a deep, rich, bright, and velvety oud. With notes of fresh figs, sweet berries, and strawberry jam.

It then reveals facets of tobacco, leather,, banana, plums, and thick molasses. Ending with a resinous woody profile that makes you feel the infection running through the oud tree itself. The scent layers being more complex than say Turathiya Selective from Sokkat AlTeeb. This is a really good oil that always delivers.
