Today I am proudly wearing Twis: Island of Cyprus.
It has this piney, orangey balsamic loveliness going on a wonderfully balmy day like this is, here in the fringes of 'ol Pennsyltucky.
And in other news.... I am slowly emerging from the pile of financial poopy doody doo that I have been in for the past few months. This means that payment of certain reserved bottles will soon commence then I fully intend to go just a little bit nuts and buy one bottle here and there a la combat shotgun. FO OST is lovely but my tola bottle of it is half-empty and I really need some variety.
Edit:
Oh good, I see I missed Sultan Salman Rushdie. (contemplates stabbing himself in the gut with a spoon for a few hours....)
I have sorely missed posting reviews after discovering new Ouds and it will be a pleasure to do so once again.

My Heart went "pitter-patter" when you mentioned Sultan Afnan. That is the big fish that got away

Sinharaja X (EO)
Took a peek at this one this morning to see how it's aging, and loved it even more than the first time I tried it.
One drop, and it opened up beautifully, and is still carrying through 8 hours later.
This is my first walla patta oud and it's scent still mystifies me.
Hats off to our brothers who brought this back from their field trip for us.
Looking forward further Ceylon Series releases

All day long: FO OST
Today the heat on the longest day really brought out the jungle and slight pretty funk of this one. I swiped four times today.
Sadly, my one and only tola bottle is certainly showing the tough love I have given it since I got it in the last months of the year in Oklahoma. It's 3/8ths full.

Sultan Salman is the Oud of the morning. I have several Sri Lankan ouds in my stash and they share a similar clean lightness. I do not mean they are light smelling, just more light and sunny in their profiles. The Salman starts off with almost a cotton candy sweet note taunting you to believe you are dealing with a typical Sri Lanka oud. That note starts to fade in a few minutes and then the oil begins to gain strength. More and more the oil develops a smooth spicey wood mixed with a blue green oceanic notes. With the sweetness on occasion toying with your brain.
This is incredible stuff and a profile which is so unique. Awesome!!
