They sound beautiful! Thank you for sharing your scent treasures. I didn't know about Scent Salim here in the UK so looking forward to having a look!:)

[@asudesuyara3660]

We were driving around the French country side and I got a barnyard scent similar to a hindi oud opening which I found quite pleasant due to me experiencing many oud through my life .

[@sepiaseraph22]

Always such thoughtful & thought provoking insightful information. I truly appreciate this channel and the knowledge base it brings to the public. Consistently delightful reviews and spotlights on proper houses are always timely and fulfill a specific void desperately needed in the fragrance lovers journey. Thank You, again! Honors & Respects!

[@khaledm.elrefaey3798]

Thanks for sharing this with us. "Thaqeel" is an Arabic word ( ثقيل ) ; it means heavy in weight but also is used to indicate that some liquid is viscous.

[@muzakkirhashim6287]

Hi Nikhil this Oud is amazing. I am fortunate enough to have the very aged Oud 6ml which is 150 years old, I use it on special occasions only. Thanks for your detailed review.

[@Sovnarkom]

The smell is lovely. Certainly a better value than you can find in western houses. I seriously doubt they are pure though. They’re stronger smelling than any highly aged oils I’ve smelled. You’ll also notice that they’re selling 80 years old oil again and in the ingredients list they note aged kalakasi, agarwood and Iris. This is likely an attar (and they have great noses) with aged oil as one of its facets.

[@huzaifajamali5849]

Wonderful, waited long enough for this review ;)

[@davidskeeterskeeter1835]

Since Watching your fab channel, I’ve started to collect oud perfume. Many many thanks,,PS I’ve never induced in a hobby before,,👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧

[@mroz9391]

Great review! I echo your sentiment about their website and lack of info... Now am hearing that a lot of their good ones are being heavily reformed...Sadeen for one...well at least there are other artisanal companies stepping to the plate. Thanks for explaining the difference between the old and new formulation!

[@zakinkazi]

You are absolutely right Sir. Recently I bought from them Sadeen and Safari oil. It feels like I have paid for the bottles not juice.

[@anasibndawood6696]

MrOz gg yes true

[@imadolev]

I got Sadeen when was 400$ and this attar fills the room with two swipes on my hands...amazing stuff..

[@zaydconnor7977]

MrOz I agree man. I just purchased a blind buy of their Tonkin deer musk which was very expensive and just okay. No note break down

[@ramu1741]

Great review !! Sir it is possible to make perfume from Indian Basmati rice? I think nobody tried it before .

[@nirajs5189]

Thanks Nikhil for prompt reply. So I presume that attars have shelf life and if they are natural and pure, then the quality can last for decades in the glass bottles that came with (no expiry)

[@zameerpashajunaidi6662]

Excellent review and explanation. I'm just confused.. It's depending on the amount for the passion. I can understand there are N-number of grades with extraction and again it's a taste of buying. Thanks once again for the detail review...

[@nirajs5189]

_Hey Nikhil, nice video! I have one query: I bought few Oud oils few years ago. If I don’t use them for another 9 to 10 years, does it become Aged Oud? If Oud oils remain in glass bottles for decades, does it become Aged or the oils have expiry date?

[@zameerullashariff2369]

Great information Nikhil Bhai... Felt as if that oud oil is right in front of me and I'm smelling it..

[@cyberbully3074]

That's level 4 stuff nikhil, looking forward to hearing about areej le Dore's new line. I have heard their new oud perfume will have maroke noir oil which supposed to have nuances of dark chocolate coffee and incense. Also heard about a perfume inspired by an attar from kannauj.

[@cyberbully3074]

@@nikhilsfrags sounds intriguing, cheers

[@aniccadance13]

Thank you for great reviews❤️

[@sergioteixeira]

Love your reviews, for me they are like masterclasses. Nowadays something strange is happening to me. I seem to reach for my "ouds" for personal use, and I tend to wear it more in the house and at night, even the most skanky ones, and more animalic, than in public. ADN even if I dont wear it, I have to give them a sniff almost every night. I Love it. What is yout prefered oud combo bhai if you have one. Thank you once again for the awesome job.

[@s.k90]

How did you buy the Crystal bottle. i didnt find it on the ASQ website

[@aromafh2486]

I'm trying to add it to cart it wouldn't let me select the bottle type

[@mohammadalkhaledi3086]

I was intrigued by the word “Kalakasi” for a while, so I went to one of the ASQ branches and got myself half a tola (vintage batch) for about 1000 USD. I was lucky enough to get it at a good offer as I got another half a tola for free. The same offer was available for Sadeen attar and I have saved a lot of money that way. There is a sprayer form of the Kalakasi oud and it smells amazing! Doctor, I highly recommend you try the sprayer form of the Kalakasi and the Cambodian as well. Take care and thanks a million.

Dear Nikhil I bought Elite oud oil and special oud oil from ASQ website. But they are not so strong as real oud oil is. Is it pure oud oil ? I bought because they marketed as oud oil not oud attar which is blended with some other oils. Can you help me

[@ahmednadeem1660]

Thakeel ثقيل in arabic means heavy or thick. Please make a video on deer musk oil. I want to know if what they sell in markets these days is real

[@navalshastri]

I was straight away directed to your video when typed Kalakassi in google video suggestions. I do watch your Hindi content but this one really was so engaging and informative. You do mention your english channel videos there but didn't get a chance to watch till now. But this accidental exploration of your english channel is like watching I dream of Ginnie in english after so many years again (or Dennis the Mennace) . I want to ask, is the kalakassi oud sold by some known respected attar brands is tribute/imitation to this or they are just using the name for marketing?

[@nikhilsfrags]

Marketing Gimmick. Thanks a lot.

@@nikhilsfrags I was thinking of asking something similar. Like, what would be a good place to try out perfumes and Attar? I only know of malls where we get to smell nothing but the top notes on a paper. And I know nothing about attars.

[@damodar8972]

Nikhil ji, first of all iam very thankful to you for all your passion, your efforts, your time you provide us with so much in depth knowledge and pros and cons of attar and perfume industry, iam a big fan of your's. I thought many times to write and thank you for all your videos and knowledge you provide us. And this is my first comment. FYI I've stopped buying deos and perfumes since 3 months and have started using oils. I've purchased ajmal's oudh which is one of my favourites and mohd ayub's majmua, kasturi, mukhallat, I've also purchased AL rehab's sultan, silver, avenue - which is somehow a clone of CREED Aventus. Would be going for KHAS no 1 of mohd ayub soon. One help I need from you is tht I've been searching since 3 months and this is the reason which made me write to you tht Jannat El Firdous BLACK iam tired of hunting. I've almost visited 90/95 attar stores and haven't found yet. So it wud be Grt if you can help me out of this. And शायद लम्बा हो गया बहुत kuchh bolna, poochhna chahta hu, par shayad itna lamba aap bhi padhe na padhe aap bhi busy rehte hain. तो अभी के लिए इतना ही. I desperately wait for your videos, thts the fantastic work you are doing. And I am Njoying this style of fragrance Keep posting. Stay healthy always. Tk cr. Cheers 🥂

This is an Oud that really interested me... price was out of control, but I know the rarity! Their website is just sad. There is absolutely no info on anything. The most generic descriptions you can imagine. Problem is that todays ASQ is terrible... everything I bought this year is water down, and smell very synthetic. (please take into consideration I have gone to the Premium priced ones

Kalakassi is from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. Kalakassi or koala gachi, means black tree in the local language. There is a 155 year old kalakassi tree in Bangladesh which had visitors from firmenich, ajmal, and amouage. The tree is owned by al haramain.

Dear nikhil Your comments and reviews are truly helpful for perfume/fragrance freaks like me.i am not sure whether you are getting my msgs or not but still doing it Please revert me in any ways for a fragrance which you recommend for the high projection,long lasting like safari by ASQ on which u made a review(i bought it after seeing ur video😊 May allah bless u and keep up with the same Fateh@dubai

Brother you said just like Creed avantus we have batch issues! I don't know how they have batch issues. Creed avantus is synthetic perfume and technically they should not have batch issues at all.

Kalakasi is named after the Kalakas region in India. Thaqeel means "heavy" or "dense" in Arabic.

[@AbdElHmyd]

Make sense. Because I noticed Arabic tends to use "ee" on the end of place names. Like Cambodi, Malaysi, Indonesi,

[@BilalBrown]

@@AbdElHmyd Adding the letter "ya" at the end makes it convert to an adjective denoting descent or origin.

[@DipanjanPaul]

@@BilalBrownThere is no place called kalakas in India that I ever heard. Kalakasi is a corruption of the Bengali/Assamese word kala(black)+gach/gass (tree) denoting black tree. This is a darker variant of Agarwood tree from Assam/Bangladesh/Tripura.

[@BilalBrown]

@@DipanjanPaul Thank you, that makes sense. There is a Kalakas located in district Rajauri, Jammu & Kashmir, and another one in Peshawar though.

[@rajkeshwani1003]

Sounds very interesting Doc. Anyway today I tried "INDONESIAN OUD" by Ermenegildo Zegna. Ya guys I know we are discussing ASQ oil here but just Just want to share my impression. Its very captivating and modern Oud fragrance. Very classy and elegant and lasted on my skin for 6-7 hours with just a test spray. I feel its more suited for an upscale gentleman, very impressive. Give it try guys, wont be disappointed.

I think we all honesty know that oils more than 10, maybe 15 years old never went to the wild market. Anything more aged, went to rich guys from china, japan or uae/saudis, for us mortals this 50, 80 and 150 is just something we say to others, but deep inside we know that this is not true. Go to serious wine store and look how much 50 and 100 year wine bottle costs and you believe that someone could sell something from those times and you should be capable to buy from your monthly salary? You imagine things, but reality is different. I wear this 80 kalasi oud oild right now and it is good enough wear it alone or mixed with others. I've got their 150 version too, but I have to be honest, I've smelled much better. I remember from ensaroud/agaraura or feel oud they sent me sample , just 0.3ml and I used it for like a month, that was completely different level. Everything about the smell from the beginning till the end is different, these asaq oils are good enough for the masses, they do represent oud oil as a scent, so people could imagine what it is like to wear one, but the smell is not complex, they do not have "magic effects", but they are still pleasant if you like oud oils.

Ah ok I do forget that time is indeed precious commodity. Plus you have a little baby at home that could use more of your time as well. Makes sense. Ok here's my scent related question : Are there any resinous Attars or oil blends? I absolutely love Tom Ford's Amber Absolute, Tobacco Oud, MFK Absolue Pour le Soir, Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan for their dry and resinous auras. Is there an oil/attar version of that? Typically I find only rose/khus/shams/Jasmine but never resins.
