Epitome of Malaysian Oud

First of all, I must sincerely thank dear PallasCC and dear Caligari that they have warmly recommended this oil and especially Taha's Ouds/Agar Aura to me! For me, a new world has revealed itself in the last few weeks in this regard :-)

As a lover of ouds - especially the varieties from Indochina and Malaysia - I was now very excited to receive my recently ordered bottle of Blue Malay and to study extensively.
First of all, I must say that the oils of Taha are clearly different from the "normal" ouds of other brands immensely. In particular, I mean the character of the oil, the way the oil behaves when it comes into contact with the air and the fragrance molecules begin to leave the skin.
(Is the case with all AA's I have tested, I will go into more detail later on what you can think of this as)

About notes and complexity I do not want to talk yet - this oil is very complex and multi-layered - rather I want to describe the feeling, so the way the oil "affects" me.

After you apply the oil and it has connected with the skin after 30s, the oil has taken its "starting position" from which you can study it perfectly. Directly you notice when inhaling that it is a "cold" oil (the term comes from PallasCC :-) ). Cold here means on the one hand that it literally cools down the respiratory tract and it lays over the face like an ice-cold blue veil. Secondly - referring to the synaesthesia of "cold" and "blue" - that the smell evokes bright blues and greens. These tones go hand in hand with the cold - not mentholated or minty, but like actual cold - alternating high frequency with deep, transparent dark green tones.
There's a whole other side to the oil, though. The colors change immensely, giving the impression of sunlight refracted off salt crystals or water droplets ... a rapid flicker of colors and nuances.

Quite deliberately, I refer to these two things here, as I am personally reminded of a transparent, yet classic profile for Malay oils. Notes of salt, jungle, water ... very hard to put the notes into words as this oil is incredibly complex. Evokes a clearing in the jungle, the sun shining on a waterfall and the rays are broken into their spectra by the spray.
This effect lasts for hours. Sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker. Again and again one is surprised by a new, different side of the Ouds and sent on a kinematic scent journey.

Regarding the projection, you can say that a "dot" on the back of the wrist ensures that you are surrounded by blue wafts all day. For me, this oil is the epitome of Malay-Oud. The reference.

Initially, I talked about how Taha's oils were different than "normal" oils. By that I mean that these oils literally glow when you apply them. They are pure, incredibly strong and have a certain transparency about them. As if the scent molecules would bump against each other and thus constantly drive up the concentration in the air.

This oil is very special and drives you crazy. If you inhale it properly you experience a "brain-buzz" or rather a "brain-freeze". You can hardly talk about it, you have to experience it yourself. It is madness
