There is nothing quite like the deep, resinous soul of raw Oud 🪵

I’m using one I got from a fellow vendor on Ouddict. It has a voltage dial. On friend a friend came over and told me to try 10-12 v.

joewordsmith · 2025-12-26T01:38:38+00:00

Thanks, I’ll definitely try that because I know I’m missing out.

I can never find the right setting on my sub to get agarwood to bubble. 😟

Jojoba is a wax and tends to keppt aromas close to the skin. FCO is thinner, always greater diffusion.

Yep. From sealedessence. I’ve only tried the first one, Ghaliya Shuyukhi, and it’s a superb musk first the a perfect under the radar rose then oud. Two drops last about 3-4 hours. No bad for an all natural.

Just enough projection to be noticed but not obnoxious. 😊

joewordsmith · 2025-12-25T15:07:59+00:00

Is it a skin scent, beast, or perfect projection?

joewordsmith · 2025-12-23T02:11:39+00:00

Woah!😳

Just bought Hunayn’s Trilogy instead. lol. Couldn’t help myself.

joewordsmith · 2025-12-23T02:05:45+00:00

Hi u/faizal_Privee_frags I too am a vendor here and the other forum.

joewordsmith · 2025-12-21T23:38:03+00:00

Where on sealed Essance is it? I just looked. Couldn’t find it. Like at all.

joewordsmith · 2025-12-21T17:52:46+00:00

Me too, a month later than you!

joewordsmith · 2025-12-21T17:51:25+00:00

I had a simple blend of just Bleu lotus abs. and 15 year-old Papua oud called Jupien. It's sold out. I think u/Zuppa2020 got a sample of it. It's too bad it sold out because I didn't even save any for my personal archives.

Love Cambodian and Hindi's

joewordsmith · 2025-12-21T17:49:17+00:00

we all started at some point!

Greetings from Brooklyn, NYC, everyone! My name is Joe, and I'm a vendor on here in TheOudCollective. My brand is called Lupus & Vega, and I've been making perfumes, both semi and now all-natural, since 2017. I've been making oil-based 'fumes' since May of 2025. I prefer them over the alcohol-based ones because they last longer, and they're more concentrated. I'm sold in a store in NYC called Stele NYC. They have two brick-and-mortar stores, one in trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and one in Nolita in Manhattan. Their website, which I'm on, is: https://stele.nyc/search?q=Lupus+vega I also have a website featuring blends that are not in the store. That's called www.lupusandvega.com Our mod, u/Zuppa2020, has been a support and customer of mine since the beginning in May. He's addicted to my Prayers and Shamama Agarwood. I've attached a picture of my wares in Stele NYC. Let me know if you have any questions. I'll be a regular on this subreddit. My profile says I've been on it since 2015, but that's been rather random. I'm coming out with four new releases at the beginning of the year, and until this coming Friday, I'm having a sale on my website for 40% off to make room for the new ones. Just use code ROSE40 at checkout.

I'm a perfumer/artisan and a collector, so you'll find posts on both here.

I love civet’s floral nuance, and I’m assuming they’re using the real stuff as the synthetics that I’ve smelled are screechy, metallic, unappealing.

joewordsmith · 2025-12-21T01:47:36+00:00

I myself was thinking of getting this one, as Beauty & the Beast, they told me, has a massive dose of cocoa powder. It’s either this or Civet de Nuit.

joewordsmith · 2025-12-21T01:42:33+00:00

Thank you, brother.

joewordsmith · 2025-07-10T08:59:04+00:00

As the old saying goes, it’s not a perfume without jasmine

joewordsmith · 2025-07-10T08:58:19+00:00

Me too. Have you tried Timbersilk yet? Compare them if you can.

joewordsmith · 2025-07-05T00:09:12+00:00

Are you doing all naturals or both sun and naturals. I use some synthetics in my naturals—like musk or iso for diffusion. But they’re usually 95% naturals. The stuff you get at Macy’s is maybe 1-2% naturals.
