    Awesome advice and much respect dear Rai Munir.

    The wood is the source of the magic of oud. Becoming familiar with the wood will help you understand and connect to the oil all the more.

    44 years old. New Yorker transplanted to Australia, where I've lived for 14 years. I've loved fragrance since the day I could tell apart my parents' scents (mother wore Calèche and Poison, father wore Agua Lavanda Puig and 4711). Incredibly, it has taken me until a month ago to try pure oud and not something merely oud-scented (although like many here, commercial oud perfumes were my "gateway drug" to pure oud). My collection, such as it is, consists of the Wild and Cultivated samplers from Grandawood and Louk Mao from Ameenroma Aromatics. En route I have Oud Yusuf and a sample of Borneo Zen from Ensar Oud which will be in my hands by Thursday, if the DHL tracking page is to be believed. Also love opera, books, spirits, and unhealthy foods. Nice to be here.:)

    Muhammed Patel Whats this Oud About?

    Well, I have been here for a while, but never formally introduced myself.

    I am Muhammed Patel. I live in the southern most country of the African continent, the appropriately-named, South Africa. I absolutely love oud and first got into it about 10 years ago. I started off with purchasing ouds from the Middle Eastern houses (Ajmal, ASAQ, Arabian Oud) and then graduated onto the artisanal producers like Ensar, Agaraura, Oudimentary, and the like.

    We live in good times, with a number of trustworthy vendors appearing, fulfilling the demands of an increasingly discerning consumer base. Sultan Pasha, Al Shareef Oudh, Feel Oud, Imperial Oud and Agarwood Assam are but a few of these vendors that come to mind. While the market for oud is quite a niche one, it is great that we are seeing an evolution towards greater transparency and education regarding the quality of materials used, the processes etc. which demystifies oud and allows consumers to better assess what they are paying for. Prior to this, one would just walk into a Middle Eastern perfume house and assume high price = high quality, with not much else to go on except smell, of course.

    Other things about me:
    - work as an economist in the public sector
    - married for 8 years
    - coffee addict
    - love fitness and the gym
    - love exotic foods

    Hope that that is not too much of info :)
