Assam 3000 Ensar Oud / Oriscent

Decadent Indian Oud
Ensar Oud Assam 3000. I love Hindi Oud Oils. Especially the ones that have none of the fermentation or strong barnyard facets or very little of them. It's not that I don't enjoy the barn. Quite the opposite. But I feel it goes better in perfume compositions, where it is blended with florals and other materials. As a pure oud oil experience, I love my Hindis to be as minimal on those farmyard qualities or close to none. And why not? The olfactory profile of the oils from this region is so beautiful. I would say with no hesitation that the Indian profile(Bhutan included) ranks among my top 5 favorite oud flavors.
Here we have an oil hailing from Assam devoid of any rough nuances (no soaking done before the distillation), showcasing a multitude of colors and savory facets that make your mouth water. The opening part is incredibly resinous, and decadent, exploding with savory aromas such as strawberry jam, nuts, dripping honey, honeybush tea, and warm spices. The color in the opening is golden-red. The honeybush tea quality is so strong that I could easily mistake this oil for a Bhutanese one, with that tranquilizing Muana chord, and never with an Indian oud, especially of Assam origin. This first part that lasts for quite some time is pure decadence. An olfactory assault. Creamy florals are added to the mix soon after to take a bit from the gourmand aspects of the oil. Later on, as the oil dries down, it morphs into what is recognizable as an oud oil of Agallochan origin. Creamy, clean, powdery wood with faint hay and honey-like nuances. It goes like that for many hours. As explosive and assaulting to the senses it opens up, as quiet and mellow it settles down. An exotic dancer bursting into exaltation only to catch her breath toward the end with more gracious movements.
