True Ouddict
I've noticed lately that many of the more recent OUD's I've bought, the majority smell at some point smell like gasoline. I am wondering why? I've never seen it mentioned in the description.
Dear Sir
Sorry for my late reply and thanks for your trust in my work
A very interesing and realistic real representation of petroleum was an oud i had used a long time ago called Oud Emerald- it is sold out it was from Ensar and it is definitely smells like benzine- or octane or petroluem- incredible.
As for the SMN nostalgia- i am honored to be working on it for you- i will be done with the samples then write here about naturals used with the gsoline type of smell.
This is one is a bit challenging as it has several synthetic notes - however- it is a very pleasant fragrance for formula one lovers- and making a natural attar of it is an amazing experience-
Smelling rubber- smoky fuel and woods
Incredible

Yet obscure. Please name such oils to have a concrete idea.Allow me to elaborate on “indole”
The umbrella term “Barn” covers a wide range of animalistic poopy and funk. Sometimes it is downright shitty. I guess I’d rather smell cow dung than human feces
Dear Oudamberlove, if you mention some oil/s against each note, it will be a more comprehensive manual for us. Thanks.The notes in oud that I don’t like are:
Fresh-cut wood
Ash
Rot
Garbage
Wax
Rancid oil
Distillation still notes
Indole

Was that high octane?I have applied some Green Papua and was about to post it on OOTD but as I read this thread I realized the GP has a smell that could be seen as petrol/oil but as I linger longer and delve deeper I get the forresty/jungle green and a hint of earthy maroke and mint. So I agree with all of the above
Hats off to you sir bull`s eye always trust your instincts.I wanted to say on one of your other posts but i was distracted by work that it is really a pleasure to read your reviews, the honesty in them is welcomed. Trust your nose, read less of the scent descriptions and focus on building your own understanding and olfactory references.
Don't be surprised if you read someone elses review of an oil and you think 'this oil doesn't smell anything like that', as @Oudamberlove mentioned some build a barrier between what they smell and the association that lights up in the brain, because they may consider that a particular association to be perceived negatively. A second person may not make that association at all in the first place because in their olfactory library they have other associations that they reference as more exact. This is a bit like the discussion we were having in the thread started by @Rasoul Salehi regarding barn, some people bundle a whole bunch of smells in the one word, others are able to break the smells down within the barn.
Don't trust anyone else's nose, work on your own nose and remember why you read effects your smelling
All I see is either the option to edit or report?At bottom, near edit button there should be a delete button as well.
Anyway my last thought on this (for now) is that I am amending gaseousness to "NEW CAR SMELL" Encapsulating the corinthian leather to the myriad complex automotive industrial components of new smells. Even the brand spanking new camphor-essness of a piney Christmas tree air freshener, swinging from the rear view mirror.

perhaps a big question on the wood they claim they use ?i sense conspiracy if 3ml of oud cost in the thousands why not just distill your own? just a thought. wonder if anyone would do a video on distillation full with no cutsAbout the turpine kind of notes, did those notes came from the cooking/distillation method?
Sometime I have the feeling that the same wood used by two different distiller will give on one side this turpene note and on the other's side nothing close to that.
Did I am wrong to think that. Why some distiller have no oud with a pronounced note of that family?
i am aware of that , but for that price its possible to obtain the materials. then again, really its just a suggestion.You need a lot of material - enough to produce enough oil to coat the sides of the separator funnel and condenser and still extra to form a layer on top of the water.
If you distill a few tola of oil, not a problem but if you are trying for just a few grams you will lose a high percentage to just sticking to the walls of glassware, etc.
Also oud requires a long distillation especially if at ambient pressure. You might have to have 48 - 72 hours free to focus on maintaining heat, refilling water, keeping the pump going and condenser operating properly, etc. it is work and requires expertise, a lot of material, and a lot of time.
