[slm] any brother here from NY who loves oud pls reply here yeah. id like to ask how far away this shop is from youre at, and if you've tried their oud etc etc. they claim to have the best oud in the world ie indian oud and i dont want to commit and buy something i cant try. so i would appreciate a brother who lives in the vicinity, and who appreciates good oud who could help me. plus, the oud they have are pretty expensive (all good oud are, but this is really expensive if you get wot i mean). those available in singapore are only from cambodia and the first grade is abt 500S$ for 1 tola ie abt 12ml i think.

oud is an attar, oil from from a wood, the core of the aloeswood tree that emanates a heavenly scent! it is rare and expensive and there are different grades, where the highest grade can reach up to a few thousand dollars. those available widely in the market are from cambodia. from the little that i know, the best quality of oud comes from india, assam to be exact. i have also heard that the saudi royal family uses this. the lower quality wood come from indonesia. as for me, im just looking good oud thats all, one thats better than whats available in singapore. and brother, once youve smelt it, you would always want to use it. my last lil bottle, all of 12ml, lasted me about 4 years. ramadan kareem! |
