Steven… There are fragrance influencers in this community and then there are fragrance connoisseurs who love sharing their passion with their audience but whereas you described this oil as being on a whole different planet, YOU are a fragrance educator who sets himself apart & above and beyond others because of your incredible objectivity and conveyance. Between your Geza Schon interview to this review, the only ‘niche’ that I am seeing is how incredible your channel is evolving and I look forward to further fragrance insights in the days, months, and years to come.

Rathnapura is a historical city in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, which mostly famous for its gems; hence its name RATHNA means gems and PURA means city; the city of gems.....

[@LouiePHSC]

Very fulfilled by watching this. Thanks so much for your excellent breakdown.

[@aromafh2486]

Man I got my order from them which contains this and lots more gems and man tell me about thier pure ambergris marked as the best in the world

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed 🌙

[@mariagibson7204]

I have a few of these beautiful oils and they really are amazing, i searched for what seemed an age to find genuine oudh as the fakes we're giving me headaches and these by far are better than any perfume you'd buy on the High Street. Thank you so much for your video it's brilliant.

[@ineedtochangemyname5803]

I just blind brought the 12ML! I can’t wait for it to come in.

[@sufyanminhas2820]

How was that?

[@ammarriyadh9124]

Wow, thank you steven for that description, as soon as i saw the thumbnail i was reminded of my grandfather who used to have these small vials of natural oud oils, i was a child and I remember watching him applying it exactly the same way as you described, it was his signature scent. I miss you grandpa.

[@Robbyfrags90]

I picked up a few oud oils from them! The quality is really good 👍 I love them

[@saggiteightyfour8367]

Please try to get aged Sri Lankan sandalwood as well. It's so different from other sandalwoods. Try to get Mysore variety, but other varieties worth a try as well. Things like SL pure jasmine sambac oil that come in these little bottles are such good value. Very cheap, just $30AUD.

[@bigfoot131]

Those fragrances are quite popular here in Qatar with a very hefty price tag. I love the more woody type of oud than the skanky, barnyard ones. U really need to experience them, I love middle eastern oud to an extent, but on this level they are not my style it’s only for the chosen few. U will most definitely appreciate the richness and the unmatched quality 🙂

[@tonyaiello3050]

Wild stuff, thanks for broadening our knowledge on this type of rare product.

[@SriramRavindran]

It's just a normal R in Ratna.

[@robynfuller3988]

I've got to echo the previous poster- thank you for being such a wonderful educator on fragrances- this particular video is no exception. Many of us may never try this oil- for whatever reason- and I appreciate you taking the time to let us know about it

combine them, and I think you get Initio Oud for Greatness :))

I can respect the preciousness amd artistry of such a concoction but I start getting antsy at the $200 mark so this isn't for me

[@joeoud8465]

Yeah, you are right, 3ml is called 0.25 Tola, and 12ml is called one tola, 😊

1gram is equal to 1ml ?

[@joeoud8465]

Yes, I think so

[@hocineted7594]

@@joeoud8465 I’m buying 3gr attar from ensar oud for 599 $, hope that 1gr is more than 1 ml.

It's too expensive bro,,, some ouds are so expensive bcs they are not easy to find, means one drop is enough 😊

[@santiagolopezsami]

Man, your RR is perfect!!! 0:15 I know is Hindi, but is the same sound of RR in Spanish. I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina... and I know what I'm saying. So, the next time you have to pronounce names or surnames like Carolina Herrera, please use your RR, because it is perfect. Be careful with the R (just a single one), as in Carolina. Must be very soft. But in HERRERA, put all the strength as in RATNA and do not pronounce the H, because is a silent consonant... so, as an example: "caRolina eRReRa". Cheers, Steven!!!

[@charithperera6347]

I'm from Sri Lanka, the way you pronounced Ratnapura was hilarious 😂

[@DeflatingAtheism]

I'd like to see you pronounce "Des Moines"! 😀

[@shadaloo1]

I love @theperfumist I have the Family Reserve oil from them

[@rizni421]

great review. from sri lanka

[@anthonyconcepcion5466]

Amazing Steven 😃

[@JoeSCENTMe]

I’m a fan of the work from The Perfumist. I recently picked up something from them that’s out of this world. These ouds are so captivating. I would use it on its own but using it as a primer / base under another fragrance could be an excellent way to amp this up.

[@nataliaalaimo9076]

Wow!!! Unique!!!!!

[@anuradharanasinghe1901]

I'm from Sri Lanka and never heard of it. Maybe because it's so expensive

[@anuradharanasinghe1901]

@@Rher_the_Moon well because traditional perfumes are so expensive that people simply use western perfumes. I mean I use an Aqua Di Gio. I knew that about 1000 years ago people used to pour these oils in bathing/ swimming pools. But that's long time ago. After the colonization most of those things simply vanished.

[@exoticguy2087]

It's called wallapatta in Sri lanka

[@whisper995]

That's what I was talking about oud oils. Thanks Steven

[@robertalmond9083]

What would you say is the viscosity of this particular oudh oil?

[@IrregularTangent]

How long did they take to deliver. I want to put a order in.

[@hassan-tb3ey]

Blind buy is not safe to buy any oud base perfume or pure oud oil mostly i dislike oud base perfume french perfume are awesome and great smell

Assam oud?

I'll take a gallon of it.

Right? Haha

Imagine growing up in a culture where you smell that all the time everywhere!! That's how I get to be in the fragrance world. I live in the United States now and is very rare to find men is interested in such pleasant experience. With fragrance.

[@dorry7664]

In terms of quality is that better or ensar oud,?

[@slackjaw4467]

You’re assuming he’s tried Ensar Oud

[@dorry7664]

@@slackjaw4467 yes

[@truthonly6080]

This is shocking for almost $1k for a 3ml they are presenting it in such a cheap bottle it's a disgrace. Abdul Karim Al Faransi in the UK was using the exact same bottles and some of his fragrances were costing less than $10 I personally think some of these companies in the Middle East and Asia are taking westerners for a ride :-) Every single "fragrance reviewer" on KZbin always mentions you should be wearing Oud in the winter hmmm it's very cold in the Middle East in Asia isn't it 🤣🤣🤣 The Arabs and Asians wear Oud in the heat of summer

[@slackjaw4467]

The Perfmuist is based in Texas

[@PREPFORIT]

WOW Now, I have to think of some exciting event in my life to justify using 0.1 ML of that !! For others lucky enough to be in love and married. not me maybe a special anniversary or asking your wife to marry you all over again.? But it would have to be something epic.

[@slackjaw4467]

There are other oud oil suppliers with much much more friendly entry prices

Hi Steven! If you like Oud, give Bruneian Oud a try. Its a sweet, honey, non-animalic type of Oud. IG @oudhalaswad & @ihsanoud are two Bruneian houses that produces Brunei Oud. More Oud videos please! Love your videos! Big fan From 🇧🇳

Have you sampled Agar Aura , or Feel Oud & Ensar ? If so , what are your thoughts .

[@abuyahya6138]

@@JohmathanBSwift ensar oud, agar aura and feel oud are all legit. They've been in the oud game for a while now. Al hashimi oud, imperial oud, pureoudh are ones I would recommend

[@vmendonc]

@@JohmathanBSwift I am an oud student. I collect and review them. Yeas I have tried them all. Ensar late oils arecompletely overrated. His old oils were fantastic. AA is a true artisan... Feel oud has been very slow since his fragrance line has exploded in success. There are a crazy amound of trusted sellers and distillers out there, you would be surprised of the quality.

[@theopavlou7895]

Yes well said...they are known scam artists...guys at ouddict have some interesting insights into this so called perfume house! Agar Aura, Ensar, Imperial Oud are established oud vendors. Crazy how many people they are scamming.

One of the reason it has the nickname of liquid gold!!!

[@xJuanDeLaRosa]

🤢 I don’t like oud I would probably literally puke smelling an oud oil lol

[@abuyahya6138]

You might not have come across oud from different regions. I'm guessing you've come across the classic barnyard Indian Oud. Thai oud is the way to go if you want something with no skankiness. I'd recommend going to the following company pureoudh, ensar oud, agar aura aura, feel oud, al hashimi oud, imperial oud, immortal oud etc.

[@slackjaw4467]

There are so many different ouds. It depends on the kind of wood, the distiller, many different facets.
