TRANSCRIPT (Partial)
------------
Ensar: So I want to go from that to one of my favorite types of vetiver. And this is what we call 'Bourbon Vetiver'. Bourbon means what?
Ehab: I don't know.
Ensar: Bourbon means that something comes from Reunion Island and Madagascar. It's like you know interchangeable.
Ehab: This is very exotic I'm telling you.
Ensar: Can you imagine like Reunion Island…it's like how far away that is?
Ehab: So exotic.
Ensar: And how old this oil…it's been aging for like 14 years. Vetiver is one of the oils that like oud becomes better and better and better as you age it, so fresh vetiver is never going to be the same as really old vetiver. So here we go…(Ensar swipes Ehab with vetiver) This is the Reunion Island…
Ehab: The Reunion…I can see why you like this.
Ensar: This is…wow! This is…to me this is like the Kinam of vetiver.
Ehab: Yeah, now this has the more subtle grassy, not rooty…
Ensar: To me, personally, I wouldn't say this is grassy at all. This is like orange. Like almost like bergamot. Like yuzu, yuzu is like the Japanese citrus.
Ehab: Oh, is it?
Ensar: Yeah.
Ehab: I haven't smelled that before so.
Ensar: You can smell it right now. You can get the yuzu. We have two yuzu bottles in that fridge and I'll show you directly.

Vetiver is hands down my most favourite perfume compound. For Indian summer, nothing beats the good 'ol Ruh Khus. Thanks for this video.

[@younesalawadhi7686]

Never stop these conversations. Sometimes I feel I'm alone with this obsession for Oud. Thank you both for letting us be part of these discussions. I just tried Czar Ceylon. I love the hint that it possess that reminds me of Midori Qi. Keep up the awesome work and keep sharing ..

[@daneliaz3643]

my favorite channel in the world. I wish Ensar would make a raffle for those of us who buy his products, so one of us can win a visit to meet him and discuss things on the program. Oh man that would be a dream come true!

[@sergioteixeira]

As-salamu aláikum. Love vetiver, all kinds of vetiver: the earthy, dry ones, and the most soapy, creamy ones. Fantastic vídeo. I always learn something from your videos my friend. Thank you.

[@mikdadpk]

Vetiver oil and Mysore sandal combination makes miracle

[@dineshtambe26]

@Ensar Oud. When are you launching your Vetiver collection on the website ? How about shooting one episode on Royal Hojari and Myrrh !

[@greveeen]

14:28 I think oud is the complete opposite, it grows on you big time! First time I smelled oud I was off put by the smell, but now I love oud and it's my favorite perfume. The smell changes in your nose after a while. Also lately a fascinating thing happened to me. I bought this vietnamese oud that smells extremely wild and funky, most funky Ive ever smelled, and it generally is not recommended to be used on its own. First I was off put by the strong smell, but after smelling it a little bit every day for a week, now the scent has changed permanently for me. Its like my nose adjusted and now I percieve the scent completely different than before!

[@STandM3]

Enjoy the show! Watching from Nova Scotia!

[@indianmoin]

MashaAllah brother Ensar... a Very beautiful discription of Vetiver and so much educational. I would personally wont prefer vetiver as a single component or a linear fragrance - should have all the transitional vibes with different notes and then settled to vetiver... The magic is all yours. GoodLuck

[@sultanalghamdi6856]

Thank you ❤️. I am keep learning from you and i am happy that i am one of your customer

[@desertfox432]

I believe Nocturne might be an allusion to the Chopin piano piece.

[@lunatrics]

My nose is binging your channel! Love these conversations!

[@anthonyfrost7068]

This gave me a whole new insight into the significance of vetiver but also the beautiful composition and range of notes in Monsieur Oud. I’ll be exploring both some more.

[@aromafromheaven]

Very enjoyable and informative.thank you..RIP Shiekh Ehab

[@aromafh2486]

Just got my first bortnikoff order waiting for the other two man out of this world totally out.got this one too the vetiver but in the oil version love love love it ..bardissan

[@evilprada101]

Salam Alaikum Brother Ensar.. I wish these conversations never end, I can relate to so many things you say.. I wish I could smell these precious oils and exprenice it.. may be some day if not In here i will ask Allah in the hear after... Lots of love and respect from India

[@floreaalbertoandrei]

To be completely honest, I haven't found yet a perfume from Frederic Malle that I can really enjoy or one that seems special and I do agree that some if not most of them seem cheap. This is purely a subjective opinion ofc. Being regulated by IFRA means using more and more chemicals rather than naturals and using reconstructions of the natural which in many cases are miles away from the true scent. One example of this is Tuberose 184108 from Firmenich which has nothing to do with the natural.

[@Dinhodeen]

Salam alaykum brothers. Mashallah, a pleasure to see you again. I really like my monsieur oud sample; unfortunately I find that it does not last as long as others, such as oud extraordinaire. I would say the best vetiver perfume I have smelled is Sultan Vetiver by Nishane.

[@Adam.AJ.Coburn]

And may Peace be upon you! You can try wearing it on the inside of the collar of your shirt, as the oils are released at a slower rate when on cloth. Also if applied to the pulse points on the neck likely you'll experience it longer than if applied to the wrists. In addition to that, I found even after Monsieur Oud became a 'skin scent' when I went for a walk, and later exercised in the evening, its aroma came back in a powerful way, very robust exhibiting the full profile of its drydown. It was like walking through a tropical garden, frangipanis in full bloom just after the rain! Quite an experience =)

[@RamseytheRam]

Love vetiver .... let shaik Ehab spend some time with Vetiver Extraordinaire and it will grow on him 🙏

[@qaidikramuddin]

Sheikh Ehab passed away in 2020. May Allah have mercy on him. We miss him.

[@aromafh2486]

Wow so addicted to these videos.shiekh ehab the Frederic Malle is nice too but of course not even close to bortnikoff

[@scentybeast9531]

Fantastic videos guys, looking forward to diving into more of your channel!

[@rizwanrahim2416]

Nice review.....it would be nicer if you could show vetiver root from the grass to viewers those didn't seen what it looks like.....good presentation on vetiver indeed

[@gunsandbullets6166]

MASHALLAH brother nice to see you both

[@AB-bw5yc]

If you did decide to make a vanilla ice cream scent it would probably be amazing.

[@aromafh2486]

Please brother kindly tune down the intro and outro I love to sleep on your voice bcs every word you guys talk about makes me learn something. Thanks brother God bless

[@abuosamayousuf1656]

Am found of vativer i trayed indian and indonesian ones.. I wish to tray bourbon vativer 😊

[@edwardchessun]

Just picking up from the discussion on synthetics in perfume later on in the video @Ensar Oud , have you tried Caron Poivre? It's become almost discontinued due to the controversy around some of its ingredients, but I would assume that like Vetiver, Clove - which is Caron Poivre's main note - is so cheap that there's no reason to use synthetics. Of the main French perfume houses (Chanel, Guerlain and Caron ) Caron took a very different path and used bold, raw, natural notes such as carnation and clove. What do you think of Caron Poivre, an iconic scent.... Would love to hear your thoughts

[@alexanderschestag3247]

My favourite vetiver oil is Ruh Khus from India.

[@SIOMJO]

Ruh Khus literally means.. Essence or spirit of Vetiver... Khus = Vetiver

[@cadler264]

Very interesting conversation about Vetiver. I would like to ask to Ensar Oud if he tested Oud parfume "The Night" by Dominique Ropion ( Frederic Malle Editions ) and if yes what does he think about this attempt at rapprochement between East and West in a parfume?

[@FZKM]

Ensar ypu have missed Indonesian Vetiver....please make video on that

[@alexandromavromatis5679]

However if you rub the oil on you hands first then rub your clothes there should be no stains

[@masumkhan4040]

Salaam Alaikum from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. Being from a poor country. I would love to try one oud from my brother Ensar, just to show my love and respect. Which one would you recommend? I have only tried oils from Bangladesh which are traditional distillation.

[@Adam.AJ.Coburn]

Samples are a great way to experience Ensar Ouds, for as little as $19 you can try ouds like People's Pursat and Aroha Kyaku!

[@Goldenthegr8]

Where is part 1 ?

[@desperadohanks9540]

Where are you based Ensar ? I would love to meet you...

[@markaygarcia6792]

I like to sniff it too..

[@abuosamayousuf1656]

All the best brother from Oman
