Indian oud wood, in a bottle
Have you noticed that of all the ouds from all the oud-producing regions of the world, Indian oud oils smell the least similar to the smell of heated Indian agarwood chips?
There are certainly a few (very few, in fact) fine Indian oils available today that smell great and are of impressive quality, however they have an altogether different scent when you compare them to the smell of the intoxicatingly delicious wisps of smoke that rise from an Indian agarwood chip atop a lighted coal.
