Smoke for the soul
Ertugrul Gazi is no ordinary oud, as you can tell just by its list price. Unlike oud oils in its price range, it was its history that intrigued me from the start. Actually, the wood was never meant to be used for distillation (at least according to Ensar). But still, the temptation was too great. And thus Ensar has graced us with this wonderful oil.
After applying, you can already tell that this oil is in its own league. It is very powerful, natural and evocative. You are immediately transported to the jungle. Black earth, dark damp tobacco leaves, tree bark, pine nuts and lots of greenery. You can't see the sky at all because there is a heavy mist on the treetops. However, this is not white, but green. The scent itself oscillates between dark green and dark brown. One wanders through the primeval forest, where no human being had set foot yet. The rampant shrubbery makes it difficult to follow your way. From time to time you get caught in this green mist. This then turns to brown, coarse leather and dark wood in the next stage. And then you're back in the jungle, but even deeper than in the early stages of the fragrance. This scent journey goes in circles. Hours go by and you can't find your way out of the green maze. The green smoke/mist accompanies you the whole time; sometimes more, sometimes less, but always present. And despite this loneliness in the wilderness, you find your inner peace.
Those who like ouds from Papua will appreciate the oil. The performance is hard to beat. One would also expect for such a price
