    purchase prior to that was Indonesian. The Indian is still in transit. The Indonesian is quite nice, kind of a

    peppery, spicy-ness overlying the leather and wood scents.

    I think the precipitate

    is composed primarily of valerian root, floral fibers, and sweet resins.

    The oud would be more prominent after

    the beta version (the one sold during the first two weeks of April last year only), since I added a good bit more

    for the upgrade. The final amount of oud I added was constrained only by smell, rather than cost or supply issues,

    I'm happy to say. It's what makes the top note of the woody smell more interesting and unique. In my case I

    didn't want to overwhelm the sandalwood and musky notes by adding "too much" oud. I love the way sandalwood,

    natural musk and oud smell together. But I can smell the oud very clearly in Pheros.

    I'm happy folks are

    experimenting with this remarkable essence! Be forewarned, though: Straight oud is not everyone's cup of tea. It's

    a very unapologetic, interesting smell. I love it, but then again I like Edge Arouser, which is also an unapologetic

    woody smell. (Most prefer the "Heat" version. Incidentally, Arouser and oud would go well together.)

    I'm very

    curious to know which varieties are people's favorites.

    That's right, thank you. Somebody else corrected me too. I should have gone back and

    changed it.

    Today I got my first negative

    reaction to Oud or maybe it was the NPA I put on first. 2 dabs NPA and about 1/4 drop Malaysian Oud.

    I had

    stopped by an electronics store for some things. A younger maybe latin lady was running the register and being

    supervised by an older black lady. The latin lady was friendly but as soon as the other lady got near me her nose

    wrinkled and she got a disgusted look. She handed me my bag and took several steps backward. She really looked

    distressed.

    In about 1 1/2 months of

    wearing Oud almost daily it is the only obvious negative response I've had. It still needed to be reported. Since

    Oud is extracted from fungus infected wood I have wondered about potential allergic reactions too.

    iv only ever heard of 1 person

    that had a reaction! but it wasnt pure Oud that some1 gave him. Oud is also good for the health. It gives a person

    strength. You should buy some of the agar wood chips and burn them. They give of such a beautifull smell. When burnt

    in my living room and the door is kept shut the smell stayes in the air for 2 to 3 days. At first you get the smell

    of burning wood but after a while that goes and you are left with a sweet smell.

    How do you burn it? In an

    incense burner? Does it light easily and stay lit? Flames or smoulder?

    I burn it in a liitle clay

    pot, shaped like a small saucer. I take a piece of charcoal, get it glowing then place that Oud wood on top an it

    just burns its self. With a big piece i turn it over every now and again.

    That's just a bit rich for me.

    The $380 per tola I've been considering is about as high as I am willing to go.

    I was

    going to suggest charcoal. You don't want to use the cooking kind though. Buy charcoal that's made specifically

    for burning incenses such as frankincense, copal, and other resins. A good incense or herb shop should carry rolls

    of charcoal. The self ignighting type has sulfur in it. Some people don't like the addition of sulfur in their

    charcoal, especially for ritual use.

    For my use, these charcoals are much larger than I need, so I take an

    X-acto saw and cut them into halves or thirds before I burn them. You might want to put some sand or crushed rock in

    the vessel you use as a burner, though I've seen plain abalone shells used too. The charcoal gets hot! I made the

    mistake of using a glass ashtray that I had stolen from Holiday Inn years ago on my first attempt of using

    charcoal. Broke it right in half. It was a nice ashtray too. Luckily I was there when it happened and could quickly

    douse the charcoal in water so it didn't set the counter on fire.

    Default Favorite Aloeswood/Oudh

    I have

    tried Aloeswood/Oudh from every country, and my favorite Oudh is from Cambodia, India and Hainan Island. India and

    Hainan supposedly have had the best Oudh in the world since ancient times. These are my favorite Oudhs because they

    are very complex in aroma, especially India and Hainan Aloeswood. Malaysian is okay...a little sweet for me.

    Vietnam has good woodchips for incense, but their Oudh is not the best to me. anyway, there's my 2 cents worth.

    My wifes sister used 2 work

    for the saudia royal family and she said that the Oud that they would buy, they would pay $12,000.00 a Tola.

    Remember this, less than 5 percent of oud on the world market is pure. Never smelt any sweetness in Malay Oud unless

    it's mixed (not pure). Never smelt any sweetness in any Oud that's pure. There r people out there that r selling

    so called pure Oud which isn't. I think that a lot of the time they don't know what they are buying. When you buy,

    u r at the mercy of the person selling it 2 u.

    Just got my order of Indian

    Aloeswood oil. This is the stuff that sells for $380/tola. Medium dark brown and about as thick as honey. Very rich,

    complex scent. Between the tiny amount needed and the fine scent, I feel like it is well worth the cost. It should

    last well over a year of daily use.

    For Mobley

    I've been wearing Oud by itself or combined with

    NPA. SoE just adds to many other factors to be able to judge results effectively. Maybe I'll go back and try SoE

    again later. Application is on the forearms and rubbed together. When I use NPA it is applied first then the Oud

    over it.

    It does not seem to matter which flavor I wear, the impact on others is about the same. I do notice ir

    effects me more with different flavors but haven't spent any time trying to quantitfy it so that will have to wait

    until later. Generally speaking it has a mellowing effect on me, my mental acuity seems the same but I am more laid

    back. It seems to do the same to other men around me but to a lesser degree probably because they aren't in the

    scent cloud as long as I am.

    Results with women have ranged from the single negative I mentioned above to

    strongly positive. For example there is this intense woman I work with frequently. Normally she is very focused on

    whatever project we are working on. Last week we were sitting side by side working on her computer. She kept losing

    focus, laughing for no reason and rubbing my shoulder. Her complexion is pretty dark so I couldn't tell if she was

    flushed but do think her breathing got faster while we worked. Another is this cute strawberry blond lady who is in

    one of the business groups I belong too. She has taken to sitting next to me ever since I started wearing Oud. That

    wouldn't be remarkable except that she has to arrive earlier than normal to take the spot next to where I usually

    sit. After more than a year of showing up at the last minute she has suddenly started coming in 15 minutes early.

    Could be coincidence but I doubt it. Another effect is that I get more hugs from the women around me.

    I am going

    to ask wood elf to post how she feels about the different scents. Other women have made numerous complementory

    comments about it, all unsolicited!

    A couple days before the stuff you bid on. It

    ended 4/3.

    I sent him an e-mail asking about future auctions or even direct sales but he hasn't replied yet.

    I got a reply from him and know

    where to find his price lists. You can buy as little as 1/4 tola of many flavors. If you want information please PM

    me. His prices are pretty good and products I've bought have been excellent quality. Others on the forum have

    bought from him also and seem happy.

    I've used a number of various

    Ouds now and am begining to see a pattern. The darker Ouds have the more complex, woodier scent where the lighter

    ones seem to have a greener scent. The darker ones also seem to have the greatest effect on both me and those around

    me. I guess it isn't too surprising that they are also the more expensive of the flavors, is it?

    In the past I

    have been unable to wear much of the high None products. For laughs I have been wearing a couple drops of PI (OD for

    me) with the Indian Oud. The heavy oil does a good job of suppressing the OD effects. I assume it slows dispersal of

    the mones. Results from the combo have been nice, lots more eye contact, flirting and touching. The mone's effects

    seem to last hours longer. I have been enjoying myself.

    Anybody else here try them out yet? Mobley?
