Is Oudimentary a good source?

Is oudimentary.com a good source for oud-oils and agarwood chips?
They are very cheap, are their products good?
I'm an oud noob and don't know much about which sources are good.

Oudimentary is a very good source indeed. They are well known for their KSSS oil which is a very nice Cambodi oil. I have also tried their Merauk which I see is sold out and which was quite nice. Green and slightly metalic, very good for mixing. Their woods are also excellent. If you ready to splurge try their Super Camodi; it is simply fantastic and their Port Moresby is a great example of Gyrinops species of aloeswood. I have seen that you've also asked before about Agaraura and I can also highly recommend their products as well, both oils and Mukhalates.

Thank you, masstika!
You are always so helpful :)
Cambodi chips seems really interesting because they are more "fruity" and subtle.
I've only ever tried Vietnamese and Indonesian chips.
I've also tried a Cambodi stick from Baieido called Kun Sho which was rather nice, but I felt the amount of clove and other spices changed the wood somewhat.

Oudimentary is good. I haven't tried any of their oils, but their Mukhallat Salman is quite good, and I do enjoy their Tarakan chips. Oudimentary is a good deal, all around.

Due to you liking Muk Salman I just ordered a bottle of Oudimentary's Saffron Amber mix,I did indeed find out it is Mukhallat Salman renamed.

I also bought their Orange Blosson oil too.

And asked for a sample of their Gazelle musk oil. I imagine its real musk due to the higher cost for a full bottle. Your thoughts?

Vietnamese chips are nice! I bought some from Taha awhile back that we're awesome. Loved the smell good resin.

Mukhallat Salman is okay, but I'm certain there is synthetics in it--which is fine if you are into the more usual Arabian style perfumes.

Their orange blossom oil I would imagine is pretty good.

As for gazelle musk, it is not deer musk. I have not tried it, but just look at the bottle. That is not what deer musk looks like. And read the description. That is not really how deer musk comes across, "massive sillage" and whatnot. Musk is primarily a fixative...

Anyways, you will be able to compare your sample of their "musk" to the infusion you will receive from me and it should be night and day.
