I live in Thailand, and I have a few chances to try agarwood oils. Yes, the commercial brands you mentioned don't smell like real oud.

[@boomer1954ful]

So it seems to me - Starting an AGARWOOD tree farm at a young age would be a smart move...

[@EsoxLVCIVS6776]

I absolutely love the barnyard smell of oud! Yes it's expensive but you don't need a lot.

[@ghnngghjuh3914]

Oud is just as good as its Quality and Mastery of the Master perfumers in Oud

[@spikeboy101]

Thank u for this video. I thought I was out of my mind when I bought multiple perfumes and they all smelled like burnt chemical rubber, like their quality had deteriorated. The common problem was that they all had oud in it. Weird because I used to love Oud Wood and had it since I was 17 but I didn't think it smelled bad, ever.

[@austine174]

Hi, that was a good talk on the origin of OUD, very useful.

[@akhlifestyle2144]

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!

[@Jean.34]

There are actually many. Arabia Oud, Al Eiz Oud, Abdul Samad Al Kurashi, Sikat Altiyb, Rasasi and others. These are all Arabic brands as you may notice. As original Oud is really important in the Arabic peninsula. But the prices of Oud oil are really expensive. It is sold in grams.

[@ps.6023]

also Feel-oud is a great one as well.

[@TakekoZiyi]

How about Swiss Arabia? Some of their oils reminds me of the Oud incense they sold when I went to Saudi Arabia which by the way properly introduce me to Oud. Like 2009

[@dfwm6660]

I thought the same thing, but I don't think he actually knows because he didn't reply.. or he's just an arsehole..

[@danielj.9857]

Thanks for the info. Very good job. Lol. It's a funky smell that synthetic oud. I too scrubbed it off my arm.

[@boomer1954ful]

But due to its popularity... synthetic oud must surely be on the rise especially when one thinks of the mass quantities of oud perfumes...

[@scotts1354]

Louis Vuitton’s cologne, called Ombré Nomad, has oud.

how about abdul samad al qurashi perfume ? what is your opinion on that?

[@akhlifestyle2144]

ASAQ Perfumes are unique, not like generic western Perfumes, and have quite a closer representation of oud. If you are able to try a perfume from their house, I would recommend smelling ASAQ Black Incense.

[@paragbhansali6338]

Please try Dehnal oudh khalifa from the house of Ajmal.A true masterpiece .

[@bluemystic7501]

How do women react to oud? I find that I really enjoy the scent but I don't think it has mass appeal. Thoughts?

[@boomer1954ful]

Well, I was on a fragrance website/blogosphere and a person posed the question: “What fragrance should I buy that really attracts females?” The most popular answer, from a guy, BTW: “ANYTHING with Oud in it.”

Is it possible that it smells very sour? I bought perfume with first note agarwood and spices and just can't stand it 👀 trying to figure out if it is because of agarwood or maybe rose in the middle note. Makes me physically sick want to wash it out

[@YaYa-ke1zr]

Yes it can smell sour. But most large distillers seem to know tricks to avoid the sour smell (or they know how to make it only last for short time). Out of the 25 or so ouds I’ve tested, only 2 had a sour note.

Wow amazing, how long does it take you to grow?

[@AmandeepSingh-pm9qt]

@@akhlifestyle2144 we have trees that are upto 40years old, but to distill oil we use trees that are above 12years. It all depends how infected the tree is. The trees are 100% natural.

[@akhlifestyle2144]

@@AmandeepSingh-pm9qt how do you get your trees to become infected, are all of them infected? I may grow some of my own in the future

[@AmandeepSingh-pm9qt]

@@akhlifestyle2144 Our trees get infected naturally because of various reasons but mostly insects and bugs and thereafter its a fungal infection. We dont do any artificial innoculation. Our plantation is in an area in east india which is most suitable for agarwood plantation. Even the scent is amazing.

So its mega expensive and smells like shit?

[@Zking7860aka]

There is a difference in barnyard and skanky smell Barnyard smell is the best smell a nose can feel , the more darker it gets ,the more luxurious it feels Buy expensive oud and they will smell barnyard , buy low category oud and they will smell skanky like wet cow dung .

Which fragrances do contain real oud?

[@akhlifestyle2144]

It's difficult to tell, but most of them contain artificial oud, you'd have to do some proper research behind it. However it would definitely be pricey.

[@ykshay]

Areej Le Dore, check the channel of Exotic Scents, he knows a lot about oud, reviews attars, oils, perfumes, and also travels to the middle east, visits perfumers etc. He has an interview with Areej Le Dore where they talk a lot about natural ingredients.

[@ahmedriyaza3336]

There is a brand called Fragrance Dubois. It has real oud
