Salty, animalic tiger undercarriage funk

Tigerwood is so-called because of the densely resinated ‘tiger’ stripes of oleoresin that run through certain heritage stocks of wild Malaysian agarwood. The story behind this is that Ensar came across a distiller who had distilled these Tigerwood oils, one in 2001 (the Tigerwood Royale), and the other further back in 1995 (the Tigerwood 1995). I will review them both here.

Tigerwood Royale, although younger in age than the 1995, is actually a much deeper, more resinous scent than the 1995, thanks in part to the much higher grades of tigerwood that were used for the distillation. But both oils are roughly similar, sharing a certain evergreen freshness at their core, as well as a very classic Malaysian aroma profile. Both oils open up with a very medicinal scent, which remains remarkably intact despite many years of aging. The aroma that develops in both cases is robust, earthy, and oudy to the core, meaning a very classic profile of notes and nuances (leather, woods, greenery, incense). The texture of both oils is silky thanks to the many years of careful aging. However, the two tigerwoods diverge on some key points, and it is important to talk about them here.

First and foremost, Tigerwood Royale has a salty funk to it that makes me think of heavy deer musk or ambergris tinctures, whereas Tigerwood 1995 stays clean all the way through. Tigerwood Royale also has a furry sourness that carries a whiff of the barnyard more characteristic of Hindi oils than Malaysian oils. Tigerwood 1995, on the other hand, follows up on the medicinal brightness of its opening with a heart that is very green. It is heavy on the camphor, mint, and forest-like sappiness of some Borneos. Although the oils diverge in the heart, the drydowns bring them back together, united in an almost creamy oudy-leather drydown with nuances of camphoraceous woods peeking out every now and then. Personally, I find Tigerwood Royale too animalic to enjoy, and both Tigerwoods deeply masculine, so they are not my favorites from Ensar Oud. (Keep in mind that I am female and my tolerance for animalics is quite low compared to the average oudhead).

Welcome to the Jungle

Tigerwood Royale from Ensar Oud.

Potent, androgenic oud oil. If this doesn't crank up your testosterone tenfold, I don't know what does. It is very different from the oud oils I usually enjoy and collect. At the opposite pole, I'd say. I sold it initially and immediately regretted it and wanted it back. It energizes you. It's primal, visceral, a tour-de-force oud. Medicinal, resinous, sweet, jungly, and smoky. It has a bottomless depth. And it's smooth, refined. Thick, dark, sweet resin fumes permeate your brain. The smell of the jungle, the earth. The medicinal quality is strong here. It almost comes across as gauze to me. Sprinkled generously with cocoa powder and a slight coffee aroma. The faintest floral nuances. Musky and almost ambergris-salty in the base. The secret with this oud oil is not to smell it close up. Rather, apply a tiny bit on your wrists or neck, just the tiniest drop, and let it breathe. Let it surround you, envelop you. The sillage is intoxicating. It is not a pretty oil. It is not a calming oil. It's an addictive oil, dangerous. Just like the Tiger hiding in the jungle. You contemplate its beauty from afar, not from close range. The color of this oil. Black with green stripes. An oud oil that Darth Vader, Batman, or Maximus Decimus Meridius would wear.

The "True" leather cloak of the king...!

Hello everyone,

this is about a purely personal way of thinking about Tigerwood Royale, which is also why the review will differ somewhat from the way I usually reproduce it.

It has to be said that describing a fragrance by EO is the true Champions League in my opinion.

Why?

Each time you "wear" it, new facets reveal themselves, you perceive different accords and the longer it is stored with you, the more it will change in its "maturity" - like good wine.

It is something "completely" different from what I have known so far. And yes, I know a few EOs and not nearly as many as some here and I realize all that. Before I get to the fragrance I have to say that the Tigerwood Royale is/was the old one and the first one that came out. The reason I say that is because the ingredients in mine are different from yours... (in the normal one with the printed label...

_______________

About the fragrance:

The whole fragrance consists of only 4 directions = those are wood / oud (not animalic), smoke, leather, and a sometimes more sometimes less noticeable mineral part of ambergris. The Tigerwood Royale is very linear and hardly changes or develops. I usually find this kind of thing mega boring or I would quickly say things like "I would have expected more"..., but here it's a little different.

Why?

The raw materials contained have such a degree of perfection - something that I have never experienced in this form before and I don't know what would have to come along to top it...

You wear it fresh and for almost 3 minutes little to almost nothing happens, then the fragrance slowly opens up and bit by bit it reveals more of itself (talking about its appearance). What we have here is by far the most beautiful and sublime leather I have ever smelled and I'll be honest, I'm certainly not a leather lover. Then the very very beautiful oud surrounds you, it has as I said above 0 of animalic, but it is rather a bit drier.

By the way, you notice the character of the Malaysian Oud's that the fragrance is very smoky and it seems like "words of my wife", it seems like a burnt down wood factory in whose warehouse was a great leather" . And actually the comment exactly reflects the fragrance, so you know what you're going to get.

Every now and then a slight glimmer of the mineral ambergris shimmers through, it has a very supportive effect and in my opinion this suits it very well! It's not a twist, but rather a booster...

Ultimately, I can only say that the fragrance is unique and something you really have to experience.

Comparable?

Not at all! But you can recognize the basic features of Tigerwood Pure Parfum here. At least you will understand where the Tigerwood Pure Parfum has its true origin, in the Tigerwood Royale !

This fragrance is the "thickest" fragrance I have ever seen from EO in terms of pure consistency. Thicker than crude oil... and its pure longevity is "above" the Interlude 53 and an older Oud Satin Mood Extrait de Parfum . Anyone who knows these two knows what I mean and if YOU want to hear what is possible, then everything from 30h is completely normal and for this statement (with my oil / my version) I put my hand in the fire ... and the last time it lasted a little more than 48 hours, so if you give it a 9 out of 10, I can't help you anymore!
If you shower 2x + wash your hands xx times, this monster doesn't give a damn.

Is he getting calmer?
Yes, halfway after 24 hours, although that is always very relative! (Although it is not a sillage monster)

Certain fragrances of the house are works of art and that's how they should be seen in my opinion!
Is it really worth the price?

I find it very difficult and, to be honest, very ungrateful to rate EO by price, because these are fragrances that play in the Champions League in terms of quality.... and I'll put it this way (lovingly), yes you should / should have smelled and experienced certain of the brand and that's exactly how I see it here, TEST and THEN we'll see!
I hope I was able to bring you closer to the fragrance...

And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

Please go to the front page, thank you!

It was obvious: despite legendary stories about the fictional Wolle, the collective of the same name did not make it to the homepage. It almost seemed as if they didn't want any comments about the amiably boozy gang from the Ruhr area. Quo vadis? The collective consulted with Chizza, for friends ChickenPizza, the creative director of the collective which wrote under his name on Parfumo. Before they started, however, they put on Tigerwood Royale by Ensar, which they wanted to review startsite-worthy. Here Bloodxclat had opened the door last, one would intersperse something about oud=expensive.

"How are we going to do this? Even the faun was there once, and other than a lot of rooting around in damp earth, the man doesn't come up with anything."
"Maybe something with sharks or dinos? Something with half octopus, half shark, or a shark with five heads. One of them looks like a purple chicken."
"Yeah, let's face it, that's...more likely not going to happen. An informative but at the same time perfume-infused, a euphoric commentary. That's what it should be. Only: we can not."
"We could copy something together, last was FvSpee on the front page, before that Gloyd, there we take individual passages, exchange them for today's fragrance and voila! That must then but!"

"Eucris Royale is a very beautiful scent and an equally distinctive one. It's so dry it's dusty and so tart that every now and then you catch yourself in the unmanly weakness of wanting to put a spoonful of sugar in it." I'm afraid that's a lie. Tigerwood Royale is not a dry oud, nothing here is dusty, rather it evokes leather, parched but not dry woods, minerality, leather boots cleaned by salty water with gravel components.

"At the same time, Tigeucris is black as night , but not sinister" because by night I meant more multi-faceted oud. "It is a friendly black, almost one full of: euphoria ('good mood')." For those who can't google. Euphoria can even be left standing because an oud of this top class, this multi-faceted, this is phenomenal. Tigerwood Royale "is an extremely vegetal, almost vegan fragrance, as unanimalistic as a herbarium." Herbarium I had to google, it means plant collection. This one consists of eaglewood resins, plants is a stretchy term. Unfortunately FvSpee er I mean I am wrong because the leathery notes do not imply animalism in the sense of there is a bull next to me and 34 others next to it, but just clear, straight leather. "I perceive dominantly dry cloves (are in the pyramid) and equally dry juniper berries (are not listed). Of course, there are blackcurrants in there." Here, unfortunately, FvSpee has made little effort. That's not how the oud smells here, and I don't see it in the pyramid either. Too bad. Let's rather take an excerpt from another award-winning commentary.

"EO Green starts with a remarkably bitter yuzu accord, meaty, strong and shrill. A kind of water mist accompanies it, like a subtle aqua note. This could be the lotus. The oakmoss blows in more green moisture, I also smell herbs, mosses, green tea. Very subtle and somewhat hidden, jasmine peeks around in the damp green."
Unfortunately, Tigerwood Royale is not green at all, more mineral, really like a stone, and a cold one at that, exposed to the elements, sometimes damp, sometimes as if from a cave.
"Over all this hovers a fresh, ethereal note, like mint or camphor with some citrus. It smells like a bright, citrusy incense to me. Something earthy and pungent resonates now, somewhat reminiscent of fresh ginger. This is where the ouds kick in and steer the scent into darker greener levels. Dark woods, wet woods, old woods. Roots are there, trampled earth, clay. Acetone sandalwood."
Dreamy...oh, isn't the tigerwood? Ok, sure, not tragic, EO Green is great too but Tigerwood another league. Maybe it's because of the origin of the oud. Malaysian oud is considered more playful, full of nuances and not as dominant as, for example, Cambodian oud, which is found in EO Green and has been incorporated here rather. Is not so with the Tigerwood, here we have only Malaysian Oud.

"Now we've got it, haven't we?"
"No, we're still copying something from Floid."
"Sun is creeping through the street canyon, it's still in the end of the night and in the open window is summer and someone is with you." Let's hope that not too much Tigerwood has been applied otherwise the open window is not enough, the fragrance has an incredibly strong sillage.
"From the corner the fan turns the citrusy mint of last night's herbal soda from the half empty bottle over to your mattress, it's full of the crumbs from the shortbread cookies that tickle more than just your nose, and so you turn to her skin."
What Flokt was referring to here was actually beer and cookie crumbs from Flod's homemade cookies. More like kept it green.
"Enough already, now for a conclusion underneath with two or three sentences about Ensar:"

Joking aside, the comment certainly doesn't reach the front page, but the fragrance would be worth it. There are many ouds which smell high quality and multi-layered while remaining oud at all times. Tigerwood Royale, however, smells so extremely ambivalent that one associates more than just oud. You see the jungle in front of you, see cold, smooth stone formations, smell the crusty salt on them. You perceive leathery notes of your own boots. Scuffed but high quality and weatherproof. The scents are the olfactory summary of a journey towards oud, which takes it all in. Fantastic.

(Thanks to all the involuntary co-writers!)
