Ruh khus by Agarwood Assam+ blue lotus by TRNP.. the khus added a beautiful belt of aroma to the blue lotus oil, however i felt may be add some wood to it too, so swiped a bit of oud Jiri JiRi by Agarwood assam.. well its been 5 min and I fear that this oud might have dominated the ruh khus and blue lotus ..I hope not..but will see if the later 2 shine out again.

Tibetan Musk Pod Tincture:

Well, last night I wore on the back of hand, and the scent, musk scent, Tibetan Musk scent was so beautiful that I regretted not using grains to make tincture.

Not hell loud at all, nor is abnormal longevity, but the quality of musk aroma that I experienced was second to none.

Long live MUSK!

The way sandalwood modifies Rose and Jasmine is tolerable to me, maybe even favorable. The way it modifies musk and agarwood is for some reason less enjoyable... muddied, fuzzy, dull. It’s like an olfactory equivalent of felt compared to say satin... pure oud is satin. Oud plus sandalwood is damp felt.
Three or four years before I macerated Musk, Sandal, Jasmine and Ceylon Oud. I started wearing it after two years. Then I realized macerating Musk in Malaysian Oud will be my third option to use. Each ingredient in that maceration complemented the rest of ingredients. Second, I have used a great many Musk Hindi Oud Sandal oils, and have learnt time plays a decisive role, and shaking and stirring the oil is also important.

You are very much right to say it is a sort of modification, but this modification is not for the sake of modification, but for something larger than the individual life of the ingredients.

Layering is what I keep doing throughout the day. It is just a habit. Otherwise, now I am of the view it has nothing to talk about.

Just a quick update, the oud dominated both the other attar amd oil.. specially the hay or the dung note from the oud lasted longer , when I dug my nose in to smell other notes I could smell vetiver and the blue lotus trying to share their facets but not clearly..
This layering was 1 swipe of each oil. May be if i had done just half or quarter of swipe of the oud, the effect would have been different.

don't like much about its sweet metallic Turkish rose top note but it turns into a deeply satisfying butter smell over time.
yum yum... the best butter smell I've ever smelt in liquid form.
