TRANSCRIPT (Partial)
------------
Ensar: So what I'm doing here is carving a little bit of this resin from this piece of Borneo Kinam and I'm going to let you smell it. And I want to see how you compare that to two things, one, the Vietnamese Kinam that we burnt before, I should say we heated before and how do you compare this to the oil that's on your hand.
Ehab: (Holding another piece of agarwood in his hand) Is this the same as that?
Ensar: No, this is from a different region. That is pure Malinau. I mean the White Kinam that's on the skin, that's pure Malinau. That's the most legendary region in Borneo-full stop. It's one of the highest ranks of oud that you can get is Malinau. It's like the legends of Koh Kong, Manipur, Malinau. These are the most prized regions for agarwood in their respective territories. From Borneo, Malinau is like the Holy Grail.
Ehab: I was in Borneo one time.
Ensar: Really!?
Ehab: Yes, I did a Chi Kung session there.
Ensar: Did you go looking for any trees?
Ehab: Actually, there wasn't much time to go looking for trees. I'm sure they were around me somewhere, though.
Ensar: What do you think of that?
Ehab: Now, the one we did in the previous session was the ……
Ensar: Vietnamese.
Ehab: Vietnamese. And this one is the Borneo.
Ensar: Yep……. You see this resin's so hard I can't even shave any off with this scalpel. There's this one black portion here except you can't carve anything out. (Ensar empties a little resin into the incense burner) Just try that.
Ehab: Feels like I'm walking through a rain forest.
Ensar: Yeah.
Ehab: That's what it feels like.
Ensar: It comes from a rain forest.
Ehab: The Borneo rain forest.
Ensar: Yeah.
Ehab: Maybe that's why it smells like that. But it does smell like a rain forest….like you know the moss that you smell when you're walking through.
Ensar: Like how would you grade the psyco-activity factor on this one?
Ehab: To tell you the truth, I'm still affected by the oud you put on me a few minutes ago.
Ensar: I mean I'm going to have to apologize to you and our viewers. I'm just gone right now. I can't, I can't….you need me to say anything?

We Muslims cant get drunk so this is what we do instead, sniff aloes oil

[@Tantraloverful]

Amazing to hear like-minded admirers of Oud - as just today, still in the process of making a complex perfume (that included among others two typed of slightly flawed Oud oils), I came upon realisation that Oud exerts its mesmerizing effect on our brain not just by the molecules we smell in its scent, but the molecules we don't! - it's like a magic trick - the true machinery of the show is invisible, hidden under stage - we experience the effect without registering a clear smell of it, only a part that it (the Oud) let us to see. And the better the Oud, the more difficult is to analize its unique note in its scent, as the more of the effect is 'para-olfactory' - a magic behind the obvious gorgeous and complex smell of Agar... I guess for understanding and describing the scent of Oud properly, one must be not just competent and educated (aromatic chemistry including), but a man of Art, a poet :)

[@abdullahqk277]

Amazing. I wish you start a podcast. I am a beginner oud oil and wood enthusiast. I would love to learn everything there is to learn about this..

[@j.benjaminc.3805]

If it's an open invite, I'm packing my bags and will be there asap! Thank you for continuing to make this series. I cannot get enough of these sessions; please keep them going as long as you can.

[@EnsarOud]

benji You’re most welcome to visit, and please keep the feedback coming and spread the word! 🙏🏻🌹

[@sheikhehab1550]

ok benji. look forward to seeing you! Thanks for the support!

[@qaidikramuddin]

Sheikh Ehab and Sidi Ensar. I'm so glad that these excellent conversations and teaching were not once-off. May Allah preserve you both and give you the best of this world and the next. Sidi Ensar, I bought Oud Yusuf and Aroha Kyaku on Friday last week. I'll be receiving tomorrow inshaAllah. I was eyeing Santal Royale with fear that it will vanish and it did.

[@EnsarOud]

Ikramuddin Zwane آمين آمين آمين يا رب العالمين. Thank you for your duas! Santal Royale should still be available. I think it’s an inventory glitch (happens often due to the way the admin interface was designed). Please email Adam Coburn and he should be able to take care of you. 😊🙏🏻♥️

[@qaidikramuddin]

@@EnsarOud Amin. Oh yes! That's excellent news. I'll contact him inshaAllah. I intend to use it in a perfume I'm making for myself and a handful of people. Thank you :)

[@qaidikramuddin]

@@EnsarOud SubhanAllah. Wow. I've just smelled these ouds. I'm dumbstruck. To me, the opening of Aroha Kyaku smells like birch tar, Cambodian oud and clay characteristic of Cambodian oud as well as earth. Oud Yusuf smells like over ripe fruit with a hint of sweetness and a hint of freshness. The best way I can describe Oud Extraordinaire (my favourite) is 'oriental'; slightly sweet and slightly ripe fruit. These are my first impressions. They need to be studied. I only applied the tiniest dab but they are projecting so well. Having the most sublime raw materials is one thing and bringing out the ultimate best in them is another: you're a maestro sidi Ensar, mashaAllah. Beautiful end of video, Tabat-il hadrah.

[@sultanalghamdi6856]

Thank you Mr. Ensar and Mr. Ehab For the valuable info.

[@desertfox432]

Enjoyable as always. I hope this becomes a regular.

Thank you Ensar, you sentences are connecting to my open heart receptors like agarwood to our soul as you have beautifully described. Kind regards from Belgium. I've been loving my ZaZa zen you've sent me.

[@aromafromheaven]

So informative Mashallah Tabarakallah Seedi Ensar..

[@rasoulsalehi5302]

Hi Ensar. Borneo diesel/white kinam is unreal. I swiped and watched the latest installment. Virtual wearing it with you and sheik ehab. another from the heart and beautiful video. Keep em coming. It would be great to have a weekly or bi weekly or at least monthly video of virtual wearing an oud of yours per episode. 20 min long I would say is perfect. Go thru the opening, progression and how it touches you the imagery that come forth the mental state. Then between progressions tell us stories of expeditions, distillations gone wrong, specifics you care to share about the given oil we are all virtual wearing with you. I have more ideas I will email you.

Anas Ibn dawood the samples should be available on the Samples page as well as on each individual product page, from the drop down menu

[@aromafh2486]

Everything you say always makes sense million percent

[@ShoaibUsmani]

MashaAllah its so delightful to so such beautiful people like all 3 of you spreading the unaltered and 1st hand knowledge. Previously I believed it was only me who zones out and gives such expression after sniffing Oud, but after watching Ensar Sir and Sheikh Ehab I can definitely relate to it.

@@sheikhehab1550 Sir i need to contact you.

[@reyaazpathan2358]

AsSalaaMuAlaikoom WaRehmatALLAAH I got no words today express my emotions. I have mentioned earlier InShaaALLAAH i m planning a umraah trip nd would like to visit AlAqsa nd jordan on the way MaaShaaALLAAH, if possible I would like to get educated from u about oudh oils/sticks. The best oudh i have bought is from ASQ nd usually i use indian oudh oils but seems like I haven’t experienced oudh in totality yet. My way of application of oudh is a bit different to everyone else I think so but i m pretty sure i can learn more from u. May AlālaaALLAAH shower HIS mercy on u brothers . JazaakALLAAH.

[@afinelita]

Thank you sooo much, Ensar for sharing such deep knowledge. I believe that you are a unique teacher because you have studied the complete alchemical process of creating perfume from the roots of the plant to the final magic elixir enclosed in a bottle. It is wonderful to watch and hear the description of the aromas, but direct contact gives an absolutely full effect of knowing the heart of the aroma and much is not at the level of words ... Therefore, I would like to ask you if you are going to conduct a full-time course for people interested in this thema. For example in UAE ore Europe.Just think about it. I wish you happiness and inspiration in all what you are doing. 🙏🙏🙏

[@EnsarOud]

You're most welcome, Tatiana! I haven't thought of doing courses (yet) but would like to invite you for a sniffathon in Amman, if you're able to make it! :)

[@afinelita]

@@EnsarOud Of course, Ensar. It is a privilege to get acquainted with the most valuable substances in the world, having you as a guide. Moreover, the quality of aroma, which in your laboratory, absolutaly trusted. As far as I know about the stones, only decent people have access to the most intimate treasures. The level of substances that pass through your hands surpass many gems. But crystals are one of the most durable substance in the world, and aroma is subtle and fragile 🌹...but so much beautiful ... Hope to visit you soon. Thank you

I'm looking for one of your videos where you said that you distilled the black part of oud that nobody dares to distel i want to show it to a friend but i can't find it

[@green4992]

hello, tell me honestly that how many more years i can get quality agarwood , as i love to make incense stick , (for me only) but if i master the art may be want to sell , however i have not smelled agarwood ,i just came to knoe there is something like agrahu/oud , i have use mysore sandalwood and tanzania , and keep doing videos its great documenting facts , and wanted in future to learn something personally from you

[@ImranKhan-ub3rb]

What make me smile is your reactions after sniffing Keep it up , and it's great to see you and learn a lot

[@ImranKhan-ub3rb]

And what happen if you distel with different method , same wood you distel with different way , it will change smell ? Like normally you soak , if without soak then ? Just for information

[@EnsarOud]

Imran Khan 😊👍🏻

[@EnsarOud]

Imran Khan the same wood distilled with and without soaking will yield completely different smelling oils

You can sample our range of organic ouds for about $27 - $30 per oil....

@@EnsarOud thank you for making these available to the masses. Any thoughts on providing a monthly package of selected quality samples of your picking in the form of 1g vials)? This will be a great way for newbies like me to explore the various fragrances every month at an affordable price? Perhaps 3 samples a month? You can then make a video to narrate your thoughts on the fragrances you've selected each month. Will be great for learning.
