Which countries' ouds (if any) have them apart from India, Malaysia and Cambodia?
Cambodia has it as fruits/florals, but I am chiefly after the intoxicating various colours of resinous incensed woody oud goodness, found in Tigerwood 1995 as purple dignity and in Assam 3000 as hypnotically magnetizing spiced smokiness fused with mesmerizing resinous trees.
I have not yet completely verified this yet, but it seems my skin greatly magnifies base notes while pushing other components to faint shadows that must be inhaled deeply to get a smell of. Hence, I only smell the wisps of kyara (barely) and other fragrances with a lot of nose power and consequent scent fatigue. This, it seems that most regions of oud are not worth my skin's time (it has to draw attention to itself with a main scent profile, or it pushes away instead, it seems).
For China, the bolstered base note on my skin mostly leaves the smell of camphory green, and Archipelago and ouds from Maroke deposit varying degrees of jungly earth.
Not my ideal in a personal fragrance that lasts hours and will be smelled by others, wnd not worth the $ to smell like dirt (when I can get it for free).
Thanks!
PS: Will update with results of completed skin testing later.
