Just did. I’ll let it she and report back. Do you recommend gently heating it to maybe 40-50 degrees or just leave it at room temp?
3x sandal (Io 02 mysore, rpp timor and touch of celestial gold from Tyson)
with Siberian musk
and 3x ceylon: adh2, ceylon royale and one good drop of the beast orsl
Yes, gentle heating will do, but gentle. I found Walla Patta a delicate one as compared to Hindi or even Malysian Oud oils in maceration.

Now I love blending different Sadal oils, and then macerating grains in it.

How difficult and time taking it is to macerate both Musk and Amber in Sandal!

I must be lucky then, because out of 3 blue lotus oils that I have, one is really good. The cotton swab test gives an uncluttered blue lotus aroma, that stays nice till and throughout drydown.
Yes, uou are lucky. Otherwise, it is more difficult than acquiring frangipani.

Well, unless I smell and sniff a lot of flowers, I avoid acquiring that particular oil. Blue lotus, pink lotus and white lotus. I have availed less opportunity to smell these flowers. So, it is somewhat difficult for me to know about the truthfulness of lotus oils. Especially blue and white lotus. Of course, now i will go to the place where I could find blue lotus grown in abundance.

Some Euphoria by Tyson this morning while juicing some fruits for breakfast, the combination of smells is euphoric!
The day its sweetness lessened, then it will be a unique balanced itr. I am waiting for that day. Though the fragrance it emits is one of the aromas that made me ecstatic in 2018, till today. Orchestration is needed. Depth is there, but the depth after orchestration will be like an extreme whirlpool.

While decanting Musk Maceration in Santal, then Musk Oud macerations and then a blend into vials for a very respected member friend, fingers and palms are fully covered in oils. I am a delta of different aromatic rivers. But the moment I opened the Kashmiri Musk grain jar to bring out some grains, it was all heaven on earth. But on fingers, Kashmiri Musk, Mysore Santal and Jasmine maceration is dominant.

Just Musk Grains: Kashmiri, Siberian and Tibetan grains in different vials. Kept them on the table, uncapped. I love this lavish session. I love to inhale Musk grains, and really love to know now they are losing weight. But what I am blessed with is incomparable. I am too too lavish on grains. First, these grains will end, there will be room for more.

For me, Musk perfume is synthetic or fake in comparison with Musk maceration. And Musk maceration is synthetic or fake in comparison with Musk grains. And dry Musk grains are synthetic in comparison with wet Musk grains. Perfume is after all a lullaby to inflate one's self that one is smelling Musk. Whatsoever is the brand. In the end, that is a remotest reflection of Pure Musk. The way Oud perfume is just 0.0009 percent of Pure Oud Oil.

Dearest alcolado glacial, Musk grains, vintage Musk Mysore Santal maceration that has quality Santal like Celestial Gold by Tyson or IO's Mysore Santal 2002, and enough grains.

If it is not possible, the maceration available on the market or the grains can be tried. At least once, you have to try both grains and maceration. I said Musk Santal maceration, not Musk Oud.

A day would come when grains will be with you too. Some top class Musk oils are on the market, you would definitely love Musk. They are 'pure' and 'nirvanic'.

I came to know through a respected members that it is being said that Musk grains and Musk macerations are fake. It itself is a fake statement.

Al Harara by @Habz786 ('Heat') - wow, very hot and spicy! Even smelling it uncapped without even taking out the applicator you get this fiery sense. The 0nly other oud/musk I've tried is Al Shareef's Yaqoot which has this crazy sharpness to it, this doesn't for sure. Not that I dislike that side of Yaqoot.

Well, I literally swiped and typed the above so they're as first impressions as first impressions come. Very impressed so far!

Laith by Mellifluence. Such a whirlwind of gorgeous animalic scents that has incredible depth. The animalics ( there are a lot of them, from kashmir musk, aged civet, three types of ambergris, a wonderful castoreum, hyraceum...) are aged really well and the blend has also been aging for some time. It should become even more incredible as time passes. I am spellbound.

Quick sampling of a few attars from Agarwood Assam.
Shamsher - Animalic, musky with a vey nice drydown...got a touch of rose as well. Powerhouse.
Shamama Amber - Wow...classic shamama but wonderful smoothness to it probably from amber. Awesome vintage luxury.
Zafrani gulab - Another superb rose attar from brother Zak...reminds me of Oud Gulfam...the saffron is delicious and gives a little masculine edge. Excellent attars!

I am simply jealous of you, now and forever, till you consume this maceration. You cannot wear it on daily basis. Please be careful as well: This fire creates dryness.

Fire: Invisible Fragrant Fire, this is the only expression that denotes Musk maceration. If something else is to be felt, I put a question mark on that maceration.

I think Habz' offered it for $190. When I read it, I thought he will edit it, and re-post that the price is $990 0r $ 1900.
