    The Curious Case Of The Oud And The Subway

    I used to live on the 1 train line. I spent my childhood at the 66th Street-Lincoln Center stop, moved as a teenager to the 96th Street stop, and as an adult lived a block from the 231st Street stop. I had friends who lived on the N train line though. Back in my day the N and R were referred to...

    Mellifluence: Perfume Oils

    It's always a trick to "dose" new attars at first. Especially when you have samples and your amounts are necessarily limited.

    Hoang Giang Vietnamese Agarwood.

    Have not tried, but what an odd, difficult-to-use website. I don't even see the prices on any of the items, or how one can purchase them. @grandawood deals in Vietnamese wood and oil, perhaps he knows them or their products?

    Oud of the Day

    The last of my Al Shareef Layth sample, in all its jeweled kaleidoscopic glory. Pictured next to my latest market find: a coffee mug with my name printed on it. :Inlove:

    Hiatus

    I've seen the butter CO2 as an ingredient in a few of @Elixir Attar's blends. It's a brand new ingredient to me and it seems wonderful.

    Olfactory Fatigue? Oud Habituation? Taking Time Out?

    I once had a miniature bottle of Hermès Ambre Narguile whose sprayer mechanism jammed while it was in my travel kit, and all my belongings in (and out) of the kit became soaked with it. I loathe it now. On the other hand, a violent aversion to rose that has lasted for at least 40 years (or as...

    About OudMarket

    Not certain but I too frequently see it as a descriptor, especially in conjunction with Cambodi oil.

    About OudMarket

    Pro-tip: their "Oud Luxury" attar is pretty ordinary. The oud oils are great though. I'm really loving the Cambodi Seufi Aged and Trat AAA, and I wish I'd bought bigger sizes when I had the opportunity.

    Attar/Mukhallat of the Day

    Halawiyyat Sharqiyya from Elixir Attar. This is a very sweet attar. I'm warning you all, I will be very cross if I log onto Ouddict someday and read someone saying "This is too sweet". There is not a single serious thing about this fragrance, just pure hedonistic desserty bliss without the...

    Attar/Mukhallat of the Day

    My Elixir Attar samples arrived! So I'm testing one on each arm. Cohiban Coffee on the left, Spirit of Arabia on the right. WOW! These are some incredible fragrances. Cohiban Coffee is an ultra-rich sweet tobacco with lashings of coffee and noticeable but not intrusive floral notes. The...

    Attar Mitti: Scent Of First Rains, From Kannauj, India

    I've been watching Nikhil's series about traditional attars and it has made me curious to try them. Do any Ouddicts have preferred internet sources for mitti, shamama, ruh kewda, etc?

    Attar/Mukhallat of the Day

    Musk day: left arm Al-Molouk Musk (RPP) and right arm Egyptian Musk (also RPP). The classic floral mélange of AMM contrasts so exquisitely with the iridescent alien earthiness of EM. I still haven't figured out EM, it is gorgeous and striking but it will take longer to truly comprehend. It's...
