AlMishal Oud - Oud Tropique

AlMishal Oud - Oud Tropique

Contains:
- Filipino, Burmi, and Malay Artisanal oud
- HJ Oudh Imperial
- HJ Concentrated oils
- Givaudan Rose Otto 390/70
- Givaudan Lycopsis

Description:
This is a new blend jthat just came out yesterday. It smells really nice initially with a strong pineapple 🍍 and citrus 🍊 aroma. It has a thick honey like consistency. I would like to know more about what constitutes an oud being “Artisanal” which I will find out by being one of his active followers and engage. I find this is the best way instead of just cold-mailing/messaging Mishal (The proprietor’s name is Mishal). What an amazing coincidence that both places that do these French perfume blends with oud (Bourhan Oud and AlMishal Oud) owners’ first name is Mishal.

I’ve been seeing this term term thrown around more often from a few Saudi vendors with some who are obviously artisanal creators and others who use it for reasons that are foggy to me.

I find that Bourhan know more about what he’s doing with the ingredients than AlMishal. For one, I’m got this burning sensation on my face from rubbing the blend on. This has never happened to me before. It could be from exposure to the Sun whilst at the beach. I don’t have sensitive skin. Might be a good idea to tell him about it.

Again, I prefer the Phantom blend over this due to this one’s overly sweet aroma from the HJ and Givaudan with the latter being something new to me. I can’t enjoy the Ouds at all. But this will be a people pleaser as it has strong sillage and projection and smells beautiful generally.

AlMishal Oud - Phantom

Contains:
- Laosy 2014 Oud
- Malaysian Rare SQ Oud
- Tarakan Mulook Rare oud
- Malinau Rare 1994 Oud
- Filipino Tjouri Oud
- Filipino Duset Oud
- Ceylani special Cook/Brew Oud
- White Ambergris
- Henry Jacques, Jebreen
- Henry Jacques, Oudh Imperial
- Henry Jacques, Muscat

Description:
This is more like it! The beauty of the ouds shows here with a peppery feel to it. The rare and natural nature of them and the ambergris give a an attractive animalic feel to it. It’s warm, spicy, and glowing. The woodiness of the Ouds interlock with the woodiness of the HJ scents giving the concoction structure and depth. At no point does the HJ overpower the Ouds or the ambergris - which is something I like and want. The deep resinous nature of the ouds plays nicely with the Oudh Imperial and Jebreen which gives a nice vanilla and amber balance. This is amazing stuff!

AlMishal Oud - Portofino

Contains:
- Vientnamese Mulook Nadir oud
- Filipino AlMsihal Oud
- Lasosy 2014 oud
- Cambodi Treasure Oud
- Ceylani Special Cook oud
- Henry Jacques Gallia
- Henry Jacques Muscat
- Henry Jacques Roi Sans Equipage

This smells entirely of HJ I don’t get to enjoy the Ouds in this one. It’s really beautiful but all I smell is the perfume of HJ. Getting notes of Orange 🍊, woody, aromatic, tobacco, leather. Really nice, but would love it to have more of an oud backbone.

Majid Iterji - Aged Filipino Oud (2002)

Smells intensely like plastic and fruit. I'm not sure if I'm mistaking the plastic to be wood as it was really strong initially. The dip stick is made of glass so that rules out affecting the oud. The older more refined Gulf War oud doesn't have these off notes. I'm not sure what to think but it's not sitting well with me.

Homemade - Cuvee Royale d'Oud

This is essentially a blend of blends from Bourhan Oud which brings together two compositions that sat at opposite ends of the spectrum. AlQawiyya was rich, sweet, and unmistakably Henry Jacques-heavy, while Mukhallat AlDeera leaned darker and more barren. Built around sandalwood chunks, Ruh Khus, Prachin Oud, and other bitter earthy materials. Blended together, they seem to correct each other beautifully. The sweetness becomes more moderate, the bitterness softens, and what comes out is a balanced, deep, and addictive scent with real oomph. Wearing this to work today. So aromatic, I wish I had 2 tolas of this.

Bourhan Oud - Shaheen

Contains:
- Grey whale ambergris
- Malaysian Terengganu Oud
- Kalimantan Oud
- Iriani Oud
- Jebreen oil (Henry Jacques Rarities)
- Henry Jacques Timor
- Saud Perfume oil

This is really a treat of an oil. It has that unmistakable Bourhan DNA. It starts with the top notes of the subtle Henry Jacques perfumes in there. During this, I also get wafts of ambergris animalics. Then perfume oil used in the “Saud” perfume. Then the beauty of the oud begins to show. With hints of dark berries from the Terengganu, the crisp herbiness of the Iriani, and the pancake maple syrup profile of the Kalimantan. I wouldn’t mind buying each of these on their own. But they’re still beautiful together and offer a complex, and deep olfactory experience.

Bourhan Oud - Shaalan

This is a blend of:

Floral Safwa Ceylani
Burmi Machina Thaqeel
Smoked Vietnamese
Cambodi 86
Kalimantan

It has this vanilla and floral scent that’s just to die for and kind of a hallmark for this brand. I prefer their other blends like General, Desman, and Mirage over this. But this is still amazing. Again, I go back to the vanilla powdery dry feel. The notes keep switching between these different oils. But it’s so blunt, clean, and smooth. Almost velvety and silky. It gets better as the wear moves along. More woody and almond nuances. Very beautiful.

AlNnahe Oud - Souq AlZal Oud w/ Oudique - Tibetan Incense

This is a beautiful blend of luxury Trat, Prachin Forest, and Pure Hindi border Ouds. It opens with slight but vibrant sweetness from the Trat. It’s provided uplift by the fresh, green, and a tad camphorous and cool feel of the herbal notes of the Prachin. It’s then anchored by pure, deep, warm, and spicy leathery Hindi oud. A nice budget oud that packs a punch and was a great find. I’m thinking of getting another different oud blend from AlNnahe Oud due to the beauty of this oud.

I’m pairing this with Tibetan Incense from Oudique. I’m encased in a nutmeg, peppery, and muddy cocoon of olfactory enjoyment.

u/scent_talks - King Solomon (Redolence) [sample]

This is one of the few Scent Talks blends that didn’t appeal to me that much. Although it has some top notch ingredients like Madagascan vanilla, Jasmine Grandiflorum, Taif rose, and Mysore. I feel the cocoa resin, coffee robusta, and especially the castoreum overpower everything. There’s a type of animalic scent from the castoreum that’s different than musk and civet. It has to be used sparingly in my books. All in all, it’s not to my taste. But I can see how it appeals to others.

Wadima Oud - Fragrant Burmese

It’s a beautiful fragrant dried sweet raisin scent coupled with smoke and wood 🪵. Based atop a middle note of fresh leather. The dark berry 🍇 profile is amazing. It’s like wine 🍷 and corked wood. The smokey charred aroma is gorgeous. It’s such a comforting aroma akin to those accustomed to enjoying the flavor of Classic Coke over and over again. And want nothing changed. It’s perfect.

Oudique - Merauke

I love the dark, shiny, and silky presentation of the oud itself. There’s a sort of fermented sparkling wood note to Merauke. It’s kind of an acidic aroma that’s really addicting. It also reminds me of coffee grounds. It’s somewhere between the scent profile of Sarawak and Pontianak. It’s deep, rich, earthy, and woody. There’s also this sort of patchouli note to it. It’s creamy, and grassy. Beautiful stuff.

Sulaym - Hainan Sidr II

It has a nice golden color and medium viscosity. The smell is of pure honey 🍯 and tea 🫖 with milk atop a honey-based wheat cereal. This reminds me of the middle-of-the-night trips to the kitchen where I would pour some Cheerios and add honey on top. It’s sweet, creamy, almost buttery, mild, with a nice floral touch, and is so beautiful to be emanating from an oud.

He brought this out for me when he saw I loved it. The first thing that hits is the rose and the sweetness of green mandarin. It smells fresh, bright, and clean. Then I’m getting the creamy, buttery Mysore SW. The frankincense feels woody and citrusy. This is a very beautiful attar with good performance.

Bourhan Oud - Desman

The name implies it’s filled with fat due to the many thick oils. After swiping this, this does it for me. This is a perfect blend of ouds. They haven’t added any Henry Jacques or Amouage. It’s the ouds speaking for themselves. I feel bliss and happy to have bought a whole Tola of this. I’m getting a nice fruity scent that’s not the everyday berry scent. But something more special. It feels like there is some HJ in there but I saw them make this and not a drop went in. It’s only Oud’s. Incredible does not begin to describe it. Now to the ingredients.

They are:

- Burmi Machina Oud
- Cambodi Koh Kong oud
- Old Red Kalimantan oud
- Malaysian AlSafwa Oud
- Private Sultani Oud
- Aged Sultani Oud
- Hindi Qadeem Oud
- Cambodi and Burmi Oud Honey
- Cherry Trat Oud
- Brown Ambergris

AlMokhlif Oud - Private Brunei

Has the old antique furniture vibe. Where it’s earthy, bright, crisp, dusty, and has a tad of wooden polish added to it. Very deep and freshly chopped wood scent. There’s almost like a vanilla aroma that accompanies this. Overall, it’s a comforting wooden sweetness.
