100% Pure Oud Oils!! - Ensar Oud

So I've been busy learning about Oud / Agarwood / Aloeswood..
The whole process around it, and understanding the complexities of the oils. Here is a look at 3 of the oils offered by Ensar.
They source only the highest caliber agarwood possible, and work with expert local distillers closely through the whole process, to create high quality artisanal oud oils.. that some believe are among the best quality in the world. - All though prices are high, this is high grade 100% pure oud oil, from rare endangered trees, expertly distilled. With the oil aged for many years.
But you can get a small 0.3g sample for as little as $27. which isn't too bad just to experience it.

[@Adam.AJ.Coburn]

Peter, Thank you for the excellent and in depth review! Bravo! Great job with Sultan Leather Attar too, with 32 different ingredients harmonizing within, to pick up on individual notes isn't easy, although you're spot on with oakmoss =) Keep up the good work!

[@FragranceView]

Cheers Adam!

[@robertperricone5848]

Thank you so much for your exploration and testing of these oud oils. You are always a good source of fine and considerate information on fragrance. And also...you are a gentleman w/regard to all things natural. Youre one of the best fellows here.

[@FragranceView]

Thanks

[@ouch110]

These were pretty cool, as someone who isn't the biggest fan of oud, these oils really opened my eyes to how amazing it can be. Very precious! :)

[@FragranceView]

Cool isn't it!

[@tomprice3258]

Nice video and review, Peter. Thanks 🙏!

[@eestiny9734]

The Story behind Oud Yusuf breaks my heart!

[@modemarcoj8026]

Well done . Nice to see others exploring the exotic vibes of Oud oils and attars . Oud Dhul Q is one that is very captivating also from Ensar .

[@BurgundyandBlue1111]

This was a lovely, detailed review and the way you described the oud oil production process spoke strongly to me since I have a process engineering background. I know from personal experience that small changes can have a huge impact on the final product.

[@FragranceView]

It's an important detail, that I think many won't ever think about!!

[@TheViking533]

Peter, This was very educating for me. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. Best regards James Underwood

[@FragranceView]

Thank you James!

[@MicheleLHarvey]

A wonderful, thoughtful and thorough video! The first time I smelled Aloeswood in a good artisan incense, I was hooked. I haven't made my first foray yet, but watching your videos & Ensar Oud's, has me feeling brave enough to sample. Thank you for such an enjoyable magic carpet ride!

[@FragranceView]

Thank you!

[@sergioteixeira]

Awesome video Peter, love to see this complete and thorough take on oud. Stellar job. Being a relative noobie on perfumes and fragrances I find this really fascinating. Waiting on the next ones.

[@FragranceView]

Cheers!!

[@annarodnarine5713]

What a great video, Peter I watched it twice. Thank you for a a real journey to OUD creations. I am a huge fan of OUD myself. Heard that the experience with these pure oils is sensational. All the best in making your own perfume. I look forward to supporting you. Regards!

[@FragranceView]

Thank you Anna!

[@Comfortinscents]

Oud Yusuf sounds beautiful💓Great video and really intriguing. Looking forward to your next video. I didn't realise how much goes on to do with Oud. Thanks Peter❤

[@FragranceView]

It's interesting!! Thanks!

[@mroz9391]

Awesome video Peter! Looking forward to your review on the others as well.

[@FragranceView]

Thanks man!

[@speedwolf5212]

So glad to see you experiencing these oils! They're truly amazing, how complex & multi faceted these single ingredient oils can be. After smelling true oud oil, it makes it easy to identify the synthetic ouds that most designer & niche fragrances use. They smell nothing alike. It's a shame, as I think most people will form an opinion on what they think oud is from smelling a synthetic ingredient that barely resembles the real thing. My personal favorites are Borneo & Thai oils. Cheers!

[@FragranceView]

Very true, I totally agree!

[@MrJahson007]

I have been waiting for this video. Down the rabbit hole you go!!! Oud will make you think about it when you are not wearing it and will change your perspective on perfume.

[@FragranceView]

:)

[@o2xb]

Hi Pete, this video has just increased my respect for your passion towards true perfumery tenfold.A lot of YT reviewers think they know oud and describe it with the same generic words like 'barnyard', 'medicinal' but often never try the pure oud oil on its own to recognise it has many facets. They fail to recognise that more often than not what they smell is not even the real thing due to its scarcity and price but an oud like aroma created in the lab.Good on you pal for going out your way to increase your knowledge and experience with perfumery.I wish you all the best in your olfactory journey!!!!

[@FragranceView]

Thank you!

[@salarmedi]

really enjoyed this. looking forward to the next ones.

[@FragranceView]

Thanks!

[@anotherfragrancereviewer4932]

Really informative video! Thanks. I watched a doc about oud a while ago, learned how crazy it can be sold by the gram, several times the price of gold.

In some cases

[@lindastevens6926]

I'm so happy I got Oud Yusuf before it sold out. It was the first oud oil that I ever tried. I get some booziness with Yusuf. Love your channel Peter.

[@FragranceView]

It sold out ? hot damn.... I have 15grams of it, I expected him to have the stock for many years to come though

[@lindastevens6926]

@@FragranceView no it hasn't sold out sorry I confused you. Adam told me it'll be around unless a wholesaler bought them and they'd be gone. Hopefully not I'm about to get Oud Extraordinairre and Bliss du Boche next month. I like Oud Extraordinaire but I've never tried Bliss Du Boche. How did you get the dark Oud Yusuf? Is it better?

[@johnrodonis4186]

I know EXACTLY what you mean by the "dust in the air before a thunderstorm" smell. And it is sublime!

[@FragranceView]

It is pretty good isn't it

[@johnrodonis4186]

The funny thing is that I have smelled it in both New York City and in Miami. And they aren't quite the same. The NYC variety is more heavy and "dusty" while the one in Miami is more "electric." Fascinating.

[@noeldean2821]

They are the best in the world but expensive though. I bought four different types of oil. The first time I smelled it I had very euphoric moment. For me it has helped with PTSD and stress. Cheers.

[@FragranceView]

Glad it's helping!!

[@Adam.AJ.Coburn]

Dear Noel, so great to see you here, and thanks again. Really interesting to hear that it helped you with PTSD, as others have said the same. Was it one oud in particular? Or an overall benefit? I hope you're well. ~Adam

[@noeldean2821]

[e-mail] Hey Adam it started with Tigerwood 1995, Oud Yusuf and green papua all of them helped. I just placed an order on Khmer xtreme and People’s Ceylon. I also wanna try sultani 1990 and taigo senkoh. I was on long due vacation. Cheers my friend

[@Adam.AJ.Coburn]

Fantastic Noel, that's amazing. I too find that each oil has it's own unique mood and benefit, Green Papua is amazing how it transforms and evolves. It's different in the winter compared to summer, I personally feel that it's peaking at the moment... utterly stunning! Thanks too for your order, I'll be sure to send a sample of Sultani 1990 and Taigo Senkoh for you. I hope you're completely refreshed and rejuvenated from your vacation! I'll be emailing you privately with the details of your order. Thanks Noel, ~Adam

[@markafacreativesolutions9590]

Hey Peter. I'm thourougly enjoying these oud series of yours. From what I know petrichor actually emerges after the rain, not before and it is a result of bacteria being settled within the soil for a dry period of time. The smelll is released when the water hits the soil and the bacteria rapidly sythesize the water, quenching after the dry wait, which then release this beautiful smell as a result. I might be wrong but I have always been fascinated with the smell of petrichor and wanted to find out how exactly it comes from. Thought maybe you might be interested in what more information available on this particular wonder of nature. It is these kinds of things which make the life more bearable on this tiny blue dot, and help me call it home. Thank you for sharing your insights on oud. As always, you're doing wonderful and I'm looking forward meeting fruits of your passionate labor. I hope you are doing great. Cheers, brother 😊

[@FragranceView]

Thanks brother

[@owenlewis8944]

Thanks for this. I see you as like the kind of person that the first man might of been who began the House of Creed or some old perfume house. Of course you are unique though as your scents would be too. I sure look forward to owning a scent that you create. And, as you say, Cheers!

[@FragranceView]

Appreciate it thank you

[@notagagite7255]

This is one of my favourite videos you've ever done! I've read a lot about Ensar Oud on the Kafkaesque blog but I don't feel like I'm quite ready on my fragrance journey to jump in to oud oils and attars just yet. Ensar and Sultan Pasha are at the top of my list once I do though haha. Enjoy delving into this part of the world... very much looking forward to your future videos!

[@FragranceView]

Thank you!

[@secondnatures]

fascinating! Great video, thank you! I remember seeing some oud pieces in the shop in Bali. I wish I knew at the time what I was looking at... After listening to you here I think I would most likely get scammed :)

[@FragranceView]

yeah a lot of pieces can be painted and injected to look like they're full of oil when it's just fake.. got to really know your stuff, or buy from someone trustworthy

[@MrTunapie]

Great video.. I recently been getting into oud.. Found out that most of the popular "oud" perfumes actually have very little, or no real oud in them.. Also, you can buy real oud oil for as little as $50 for about 50ml as well as oil that costs $500 (and up) per gram.. So the world of oud is very confusing and complex indeed. Most people think it's supposed to smell skanky and fecal, so they stay away from it. Real aged, oud, extracted with loving care, is amazing. It's natures own perfume that takes you on a wonderful scent trip.

[@FragranceView]

I agree there is a wrong impression of Oud in general

[@junaiddawker7227]

Very nice I like ur video bro ur explaning very nicely

[@FragranceView]

Thank you

[@pandorap872]

Looks like your first Creation will have Oud in it. Would really like to see your impressions of Fragrance Du Bois scents. They have their own Oud plantations in Thailand. And hope to see a TOP ten Oud scents video from you whenever you are ready to do one. Thanks!

Not sure I am capable of a top 10, but maybe a top 5 one day!

[@mrspress8057]

Ensar Oud makes beautiful oud oils and attars. I’m surprised you are delving into oud...glad you are though. Speaking of stinkers, I ordered a FB of Al-Khatt a couple of days ago lol...I love it!! Great video Peter!

oh dear, lol.. thanks!

Just ordered a few oils from EO to try. Looked for the Assam, and must be gone! Leander

[@winterbird9189]

This is awesomee !! Oud definitely has natural incense notes to it you can burn one of the chips with a dab of the oil on it and people do that to perfume their house and clothes and hair with a beautiful oud incense scent which is why i was sulking about oud (pining after sweet hindi oud) actually until your revealed that you had some :D thank you for lending us your nose Peter ! i learnt so much from this video also tytyy❤

[@FragranceView]

Thanks!

[@dorcusrahab4815]

Oh, I now get what it is...I live with the swahili people, They call it oudi ...when you've written this is when i've understood that oudi is normally not incense but oud....thankyou.

[@Adam.AJ.Coburn]

So Winterbird brings up a really good point. There is such a thing as 'sweet' Hindi oud. Hindi oud as you know is renown for it's 'barnyard' profile. This however is do to the over soaking, and fermenting of the oud, causing some funky notes to develop. If however an artist decides to skip the soaking process sweet hindi ouds like Oud Yoshi are produced, and are absolutely breathtaking!

[@winterbird9189]

[e-mail] thank you !! I kinda missed these, and yes exactly.. I'm dying over some I found online but it's just not possible to get it right now haha

[@Adam.AJ.Coburn]

You're most welcome Winterbird =) Just a word of caution, there are a lot of 'oudhs' out there including the wood that are synthetic or have been otherwise adulterated by either being soaked in oil or polished. To inhale or otherwise absorb (through the skin) is not especially good for one's health so it's best to stick with the natural verified unadulterated oud wood. Any waxy looking wood, or dark uniformly black oud is a sign that it has been altered. I also recommend using an electric heater over charcoal as there is usually saltpeter within the charcoal which you're inhaling along with the fragrant smoke. With adjustable electric heaters you get all the aroma without the smoke =) As you know, under our wood and resin category we've got 10 grams for as little as $79. And with it I'll be sure to include a few free samples of some of our oud oils. Thanks so much Winterbird, ~Adam

[@mihainistor4012]

Creed Royal Oud, which is by far the best smelling fragrance from Creed, from what I understand from this video, has quite similar characteristics to Oud Royale (that explains the resembles of the name). Maybe there is oud in Creed Royal Oud after all! Great video Peter, as always!

[@FragranceView]

not smelled it in a while.... I would be surprised to be honest if they used real oud, it's more likely to be an oud accord, but it's always possible

[@ChildofGodforevr]

There is no real Oud in any of Creeds crap perfumes. Fact. Believe it or not. I don’t care.

[@justenrey8972]

Your very knowledgeable bro, sounds like an interesting subject, I might actually study up on this as well, sounds very intriguing and very surprised to know how complex oud can be, great video bro

[@FragranceView]

Check out some of the blogs on the Ensar website, very good reading

[@dikace32]

Good to see you enjoying and appreciating Ensars work. His oud oils are really deep and fascinating journeys through scent. I bought a legends samples pack last year and am slowly making my way through them. What other oils did you get?

[@FragranceView]

Green Papua, Xiang Liao Ling, Tigerwood Royale, Hainan 2005, Assamugo Senkoh, Jing Shen Lu, Midori Qi, and Sultani 1990! So quite a few to go through!

[@dikace32]

FragranceView so many to try! Its amazing to smell how they develop on the skin. Hainan 2005 has a really lovely Rooibos tea note in the opening. I think I'm going to treat myself to a bottle of Kinam Rouge for my 40th this year

Beautiful review of beautiful Oils My Bro. Always enjoy your descriptions. His fragrances and oils seem of amazing quality and scent. Was that our Bro Russian Adam in the clips? I don’t remember right now but did you try his Areej Le Doré?

[@amw154]

Peter, fantastic video!! I truly enjoy watching these types of videos from you because you take us along on your journey as you learn and expand your knowledge of the unique and artisan aspects of perfumery! This was very cool and extremely interesting! I have some Tarakan sinking and Malaysian chips, but I’ve never smelled the pure oil. Your detailed descriptions have convinced me to purchase some oil just for the experience! Peter, you are causing me to spend more money lol!! Oh well. I guess that’s part of the fun of experiencing life!! I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of the other samples so take care and enjoy your weekend!

[@FragranceView]

Thank you! It's been interesting learning about it! I am going to have a really difficult time deciding which ones to buy!!

[@Adam.AJ.Coburn]

If you like the Malaysian profile, you'll want to check out Tigerwood '95... or if you want a sinking grade oil -Oud Ahmad, but that's an entirely different level of oud!

[@sultanalghamdi6856]

Thank you 👍

[@FragranceView]

cheers

[@barnabuswizardspook]

I just had an idea. Maybe you could explain more natural ingredients in depth. Like iris or sandalwood or rose. You’re really good at this kind of thing.

[@FragranceView]

Thanks, yeah maybe! It's actually pretty hard describing such specific scents in words, for someone to get an accurate picture in their mind... it's difficult!

[@Adam.AJ.Coburn]

You said it very well in the video, it's truly an experience rather than just a scent, as not only are there notes, but there are feelings which they evoke, memories which they play on, and unique perspectives which each individual approaches a scent. Oud also interacts with individuals skin chemistry differently so each individual even with the same oud has their own personal 'scent print.'

[@barnabuswizardspook]

Almost to 10k!

[@FragranceView]

it's not a big deal, most people never watch my videos... average view is about 1k on a video, sometimes 2k.. so that's 8 or 9 thousand people that don't bother watching lol, so it means nothing really

[@barnabuswizardspook]

FragranceView You’re not going for clickbait-that’s why. Just keep doing your thing. As far as I’m concerned, you’re the most genuine fragrance reviewer out there

[@imambaybars3405]

I have a few from Ensar, a beautiful attar called Hajar Aswad that has oud and rose oils, Oud Yusuf (which is very good but it's my least favorite, bit flat compared to wilder better ouds but I like it because it reminds me of a visit to Damascus when I was younger), Assam Organic (cultivated organically from Assam in India- beautiful after it develops, only the opening smells a bit like al-Khat), Oud Suleiman (which is also from the region of Assam in India but it's harvested wild oud rather than cultivated) it's basically a much much better version of Assam organic and I can only compare it to a day in heaven with rain showers of honey, though it starts out smelling like a moldy book in a rotten bookcase in a dusty musty abandoned underground dungeon, which is not bad either it's a fairytale condensed into oil.

[@FragranceView]

Interesting descriptions!! Cheers!

[@Ismailomar352]

imam Baybars What is the nicest thing you liked ensar oud and did you try sultan pasha and wish you prefer more petter encar oud or sultan pasha thank you

[@MrOzone777]

Love this video. I've been wanting to sample this house, and I really wanted someone i trust to review them. Btw have you ever checked out Oudh Abayat by Anfar.

[@FragranceView]

I haven't no!

[@MrOzone777]

FragranceView I received a sample of it from a friend and it seems the only website that sold it here to the states shut down. If you do get your nose on it somehow, I would love to hear your opinion of it.

[@TheCybird]

that storm dust smell is called OZONE

[@RobertLaTuso]

How many uses can you get from a 3 gram bottle of Oud if used daily?

[@MrAnthc888]

Was just wondering if you could help me out with something. I have birch sweet which has a medicinal smell which I'm not overly fond of. I have seen frags with dry birch (which i cant find) and white birch. are they the same, or different? thanks.

[@MrAnthc888]

Also, could you tell me what gives a 'lipstick smell'. is it iris, orris or orris givco as I'm getting mixed responses. thanks

[@FragranceView]

Not sure not experienced those different variety of Birch... Orris Givco smells like thick powder, not like lipstick.. I think the lipstick note is more an accord created with different Ianones / Iris notes and violet notes, there's no specific synthetic I've smelled that gives a full impression of lipstick like Dior Homme has..

[@MrAnthc888]

+FragranceView thanks again. It's just that I smelled a frag called lipstick on and it reminded me of a woman putting her make up on and it had that lipsticky waxy smell and I thought it was a really nice frag for a woman. Thanks for the help again. much appreciated 👌

[@crawdini7641]

Petichor. The smell of fresh rain

[@fumefatale515]

Is "petrichor" the word you were looking for to describe that dusty ozonic smell pre or post rain?

[@FragranceView]

yes

[@geensloth911]

Do you know if Creed Royal Oud uses actual Oud, or a synthetic?

[@FragranceView]

It's been a while since I smelled Royal Oud... it's not my taste, I am honestly not sure. From memory, it didn't smell of the synthetic ouds I have.. but it could be an oud accord built up of other natural components. Or they could use a small amount of real oud, they don't specify on the website where the oud is from... the trouble with a house like Creed is they sell so much stock world wide, it would be difficult to use real oud in such volume... so it wouldn't surprise me if there's no actual oud in there. But then again, maybe! They would need a steady reliable source from a cultivated farm, there's no way they could do it with wild oud, there's not enough of it, and it's too expensive. So my guess is if it's from a farm, they would need so much I don't think a farm in Asia could keep up without injecting the trees, and inducing oil production in young trees... so it would be a low grade poor quality oud ( using logical arguments here ) - with that in to consideration, it seems unlikely to me they would go for real. It's more than likely an oud accord created to give an impression of it.

[@69sifu]

What's the name of the oud chips in the beginning of the video...

[@FragranceView]

New Guinea Agarwood Chips, they're all sold out on the website.. no longer listed

[@ehou3339]

How does Ensar Oud compare to ouds that aren't as easily available in the West? I am assuming that when you go to Dubai for work you have the opportunity to purchase ouds that aren't as readily available online.

[@FragranceView]

I smelled some oud oils in Dubai, they smelled like mixed oils to me... even though they promised they were natural and not mixed, I don't trust them here to be honest.

[@ehou3339]

Interesting. Do you not trust them to not rip you off because you are not a local? I'm assuming that the locals have some way to get good quality ouds because it is such an important part of their culture. But I could be wrong.

[@FragranceView]

basically yes, I am sure if you know the right people it's fine... but the good stuff usually is kept hidden, and they will sell tourists the cheap fake stuff.

[@crawdini7641]

Ensar's Ouds are WAY above my pay grade.

[@jeffntn6487]

He mentions several times these oils last 7 hours then fade away on his skin. I've watched many youtube videos and read many more reviews and there are people who are saying they get Oud that last 24 hrs. I have Tom Ford Eau De Parfum, all Ford's Ouds and Intense Ouds that are lasting 12-14 hrs. on my skin. I am awaiting arrival of my first sample pack of Oud oil. The 7 hour lasting review by this young man worry me a bit, especially for the prices. Can someone with Oud knowledge reply, would this be his chemistry or the Oud oil itself only lasting 7 hours? I've watched the Arabian Oil videos and some, one in Dubai claims after showering some of their oils can still be smelled. Adam from Ensar, can you help here or any other person with Oud knowledge. Thanks.

[@FragranceView]

You think Tom Ford uses real Oud? Not a chance.. it lasts that long m because it’s synthetic, longevity doesn’t equal quality....why does anyone need more than 7 hours anyway? I don’t get that logic. Every oil distillation is different from real Oud, so longevity will change with every oil.. only synthetic is reliably the same every time

[@diterpene926]

Peter, you bankrupt me! ;)

[@FragranceView]

Self control is a beautiful thing

[@freespirit841]

Money brings bad side of humans out. I’m not a tree hugger but learning that trees or animals being purposely exploited for our luxury kinda throws me off. I’m not a fan of oud but I was thinking of diving into the world of oud seriously But not sure anymore. People who love oud, I’m not going to tell them not to but I can be one less customer in oud market. Thanks Peter for detailed information about oud. You are very thorough with any topic you touch. I’ll wait for the next topic you talk about in detail : } ✌️

[@FragranceView]

I think it's fine if you can buy oud from someone who harvests it responsibly like Adam from Ensar, he has a real love for the trees

[@SeacoastTaiChi]

Hello Peter, Where can I purchase reputable Ensar Oud Oil?

[@FragranceView]

From the Ensar Oud website

[@FragranceView]

[@SeacoastTaiChi]

Thank you ! Also for your video it was helpful.

[@fraghead4134]

I have tried a few of their oils and they are beautiful. if you love musk peter you should check our Borneo Zen

[@FragranceView]

Cheers!

[@fraghead4134]

Just received discovery set from fort and manle and have serious stress deciding which one to buy first. My faves are harem rose, faith sultan mehmed and suleyman le manifique. . man these three are so good

[@FragranceView]

I haven't tried suleyman le manifique... I've heard great things though

[@fraghead4134]

its a seriously beautiful ambergris slightly sweetened with florals. Very salty, musky, sweet and and so sexy. Of course that's on paper, will wear properly today

[@FragranceView]

Musky? I hope there's not Cashmeran in it again.. I get too much of that in Harem Rose now I bought it, it's one synthetic that grates on me a bit - love ambergris though

[@davidmidecem]

I'm not familiar with how much 0.3g looks like. Those look like decent sized samples. I will grab the samples in the future after I've learned about different types of real ambergris. Maybe it's something that would interest you?

[@FragranceView]

do you have Instagram? take a look at Nikhilsfrags - he has a photo showing both 0.3gram vials, and full 3ml vial.. mine is way less than 0.3, mine is just a tiny dab... give you an accurate idea! I know there's different grades of Ambergris, I am not sure on the variety of the scent they give though! it would be interesting to find out though

[@davidmidecem]

FragranceView I'll check my instagram! 0.3g seems like the smallest size they sell. Ambergris is very interesting, although doesn't have as many varieties as oud because there's no way to farm it.

[@FragranceView]

yeah I asked for just a tiny dab to get the essence so I could source which ones I want to purchase in bigger quantity to use in my perfume blending, so mine isn't 0.3g.. but the smallest they offer is that, it's quite a few drops though, you'd get a few uses from that size

[@davidmidecem]

Nice that sounds perfect, makes it easier to get the whole line. I'm looking to get into attars because most attars seem like quality and my taste!

[@Adam.AJ.Coburn]

Hello David, there's also an Ultimate Oud Sampler that gives 9 different oils of .15 gram quantities. This enables you to try a variety of regions as well as grades of oils. Organic, Wild, and Legends! You can find it under the 'samplers' tab of the website...

[@Sovnarkom]

[@FragranceView]

Adam Coburn - however I meant Ensar (not sure if Adam was there during the time or not )

[@ammaribrahim5756]

Do you mean that Ensar real name is Adam?

[@FragranceView]

No, Ensar is Ensar, Adam is the man that works in the office - two different people

[@Briekowski]

I haven't yet tried real oud oil, but thus far in my fragrance journey, I cannot abide fragrances with oud unless it's in there as a VERY subtle note...For some reason, I keep getting a sharp, pungent aroma, unfortunately! Such a shame as I usually love wood notes.

[@FragranceView]

synthetic ouds are quite unpleasant.. real oud is far more beautiful and complex, hopefully you can try real quality oud one day, to see the difference

[@wyomingpark]

I find it very sad that they have to induce infection. Its why the trees are becoming instinct and oud is becoming rare. Eventually there may not be wild aqilarius tress left. Its extinct in some countries. Its the only thing I hate about this. For the sake of wanting a perfume to smell nice. I love artisan perfumery but I would rather use oud synthetic. Not the same I know. Destroying trees deliberately makes me sad. But well done on this video. Very informative.

The good thing about farming it well, is that they carve out the oud, and then let the tree heal it's self.. then the tree is healthy again, while they harvest other trees.. rather than letting it get fully infected and chopping the whole tree down. They're managed to keep the trees on good farms. When it comes to Wild trees, if the tree is already going to die, I don't see the harm in taking the oud.. I have a few synthetic ouds and they don't smell at all like oud, and they don't change, singular notes.. I'd rather source oud from someone that collects the responsible way

FragranceView yes good farming practices is good. But its only really in recent years they are realising the trees are disappearing and scrambling to save the trees. Hats off to the farmers who allow the trees to heal. I know synthetic oud is not the same. Nonetheless its still a nice woody aroma. Black agar by Givco is nice.

Black Agar smells the least like Oud, it smells like sweet sticky resin and tobacco to me, Givaudan fell short with that one.. I think real oud has such complex nuances that they can't create an accurate replacement for it... plus the amount of variety with the odour profile between geographical location, species, and types of distillation.. So they've come up with a generalised commercial impression instead, in my opinion gives completely the wrong impression of Oud... Then we get designer perfumers and cheap Indie brands labelling " oud " on the label and not breakdown, using stuff like this, and thinking that's what Oud is.

[@wyomingpark]

FragranceView yeah I get it. Real oud is different. I havent smelled all the synth ouds out there. I suppose all noses smell things differently too. I appreciate the fact that real oud is unique. We have a company in Australia that owns farms in Vietnam and their oud samples are really cheap. You might like to check it out. I ll find the link.
