Adam Michael has this to say “This Thai plantation oud exudes a warmth in the top that is so intense, it is comparable to smelling chili oleoresin or that of eating an assortment of the hottest chilli peppers known to man. Beyond this, the opening has a similar DNA to what can be expected form […]

Adam Michael has this to say “This is top-tier, holy grail, no expense spared oud coming in at a quarter of a million Euros per kilo. You don’t buy an oud like this for any other reason than to enjoy and to impress. Elitism all over but let’s cut to the chase, this costs a […]

Adam Michael has this to say “The opening of this Oud Assam is cresole, varnish, dark woody, somehow soft but also powerful and non-offensive animalic. As this aromatic develops and softens coffee, dark bitter chocolate, woody resin, spice, aged tobacco and peppery tonalities emerge. This oud is a complete beast on the performance front, in […]

I have then aged this material for a further six months from purchase so […]
Adam Michael has this to say “This custom distilled Hindi oud is more than just another ultra-high-end luxury aromatic, what we have here is genius in a bottle. Written because for many Western readers we seem to have a very fixed take overall on how a Hindi oud will smell, how it will perform and […]

Adam Michael has this to say “For me this Sandalwood Kupang essential oil experience is like delving into the private quarters of another’s soul. Beyond exterior you find the real connection with another, that’s where the good stuff awaits you, and this sandalwood is no different. Yes, it doesn’t say made in India on the […]
Adam Michael has this to say “What we have here is very likely a limited-edition release that aroma wise is the polar-opposite to smelling our much-loved French absolute and of which has an almost cult type following. Whereas the French abs has a potent coumarinic backbone and peppered with herbaceous and floral nuances, this Italian […]
Adam Michael has this to say “What we have here (21/11/21) is a famous corporate produced Hyraceum Absolute. 40% absolute. 60% DIPG. My initial opinion via the strip, is that I find the entire experience lacklustre, passionless and deeply unfulfilling.
