I wish this channel would get more views. Easily the most important in the fragrance community by far. I respect people's tastes, but it makes me thankful that I am of the type of mindframe where I can appreciate the importance of videos like these, and see the value in this sort of information, rather than just mindlessly look for top 10 panty droppers of whatever bottled water mainstream fragrance video any of the more popular channels release. Thank you Dr for your hard work.
MrMassDeffect I couldnt agree more with you,this guy is great and very informativate,hes definatly one of the best,so on the ball,im just really starting to get into niche fragrances and oud,so need all the help i can get lol I do watch a couple of other reviewers but you are right there are alot of ones around that are waste of time ( jeremey fragrance comes to mind )lol im sorry but cant stand the bloke,i dont think he knows much about fragrance at all,and he loves himself soooo much.anyway this guy is excellent,think i will suscribe.
The wild ouds in my area have been stolen by certain entities, which makes me really sad. I didn't even know what it was back then. If God wills it, I will be starting a plantation very soon, would love to have you be a part of it, in some way or the other Nikhil Bhai. Keep up the good work Ji.
This was so helpful in educating me on the basics of oud. I feel this type if knowledge will be essential in these modern times more and more for Western fragrance enthusiasts as the global oud craze continues to spread to Europe and America. Thanks brother.
Vague Oud, the Oud source is unknown, probably just a common fake Oud, adulterated young trees injected with formula don't belong to real pure Oud called inoculated.
(10-26-19) Peace and blessings... Awesome video. I am entering a new realm of life. Studies are taking me to places that I didn't know existed. Thank you for the knowledge and wisdom. I will keep learning and growing as my spirit does.
I have wanted to learn more about Oud...and your video is extremely informative. Thank you so much for doing this. Very, very well done. Blessings upon you.
What a very informative, thoughtful and educated video. I am a westerner interested in bakhoor and incense fragrances for the home, clothing, personal enhancement and meditation. I have bought my first charcoal burner and a variety of inexpensive bakhoor incenses which, though entry-level, I must say are delightful. I find your video very exciting and am anticipating trying both the subtler and the richer oud aromas that you describe so well here. I like the term "olfactory spectrum" and now realise there is much much more to this than I had previously thought. Thank you also for the caveats, what to watch for when buying, how unscrupuous sellers may "doctor' the oud's appearance. I am researching with a view to a not-so-modest purchase and will investigate the links you have left here. I am saving this video for reference. Thank you again good sir..
Hi Nikil, I recently came across your channel and it’s been a fabulous journey through your oud videos. I myself have been an avid user of oud and bukhoor over the past several years. Truly Middle East is the best place buy oud and your suggestions of shops in Mumbai was a revelation for me, being a Mumbaikar I will visit the shops for Indian ouds on my next visit there. My staple scents are Crassna seoufi, Rouh al Aoud and Charme d’orient; although I do use western perfumes (only parfums) :P which is a sin I commit occasionally. But the ecstasy and the joy of when the oud transformation after applying on your skin cannot be compared to western perfumes...You hv been doing a good work keep it going...Cheers!
Thank you for this lovely and educational video. I just came from Dubai and have been enamored by oud and bakhoor. I have at least a dozen assorted charcoal burning oud burners, but will purchase a ceramic electric one for the precious oud I have. I have been gifted an oud sampler and bakhoor from a sheikha from Ajman, all labeled so I can now appreciate them truly, and have been very careful with burning them as they are so precious and smell so good. You’re right about the strong loud smell of charcoal…I want a more subtle and lingering one. I also like your technique to wait till the charcoal is ashy instead of just hot before putting the oud or bakhoor. I will also buy some mica sheets as I believe that will create a barrier to help the burning slow down.
NikhilBhai this video was also exotic, very nice and detailed insights, very helpful inputs. It will be a handbook on Oud for any one. I am glad people are getting exposed to new types of fragrances that also the traditional way. These sort of videos will start shaking (movement) in the traditional markets. Good Keep it up!!!
Phenomenal video...thank you for sharing the passion. It was interesting...what is your suggest on the different type and best agar wood for distilling oil vs burning for incense?? Thanks so much!
The only notification which has a fragrance....... Hope you are doing Great Nikhil bhai. I love Oud... Cambodian and Thai Oud is the best you should visit the old Oud tree in the Monetary in Thailand. Its the most expensive tree in the world guarded by Thai Military, Japanese offered Millions of dollars for that tree but it got retained coz of the religious importance of the tree.
To sum up : wood chip on subitisim burner-> heat up -> smell nice->continous apply same heat, even hotter> smoke up, wood chip turns black, smell not nice anymore-> leave the wood chip on burner instead of throw away, apply same heat-> smell nice again but not the same smell in the begining. One time, i left a piece on the burner for 2 days, and on day 2, still smell nice.
That was a very interesting and informative video. After watching that, I need to put on some of the Ensar Oud oil samples that I just received for testing. I'm very looking forward to seeing more videos on the subject. Keep up the good work!
Wish I could like this video more than once so that such informative gems doesn't go unnoticed.. Great content bro.. I learnt a lot more just by watching your video than I would have searching the Internet.
Also be aware that gaharu buaya or aetoxylon sympetalum is a tree in the same family as Aquilaria and Gyrinops which is the family Thymelaeaceae. It is also called crocodile wood and it is NOT agarwood though it is sometimes used to adulterate oud oils to make them less expensive. It is what white oudh is made from. It smells very bad when burnt. But at room temperature it could smell nice. EDIT: It is usually used to fool people when purchasing beads, it has a light to dark brown color and resin is seen seeping out sometimes, but this is not agarwood. The name gaharu buaya actually means gaharu big lie.
Sir, I hope you have a school where you teach this stuff because I was absolutely enraptured by your lecture. It was so informative and it came across like this is a great, almost religious, passion for you. I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Great job, Sir. 👍🏿

Thank you nikhil bhai the perfect information I was looking for you are the best it's really become so easy for us to get the ready made material n knowledge from you n really understand the kind of pain and patience you go through to study about it great work great passion hope we can meet some day hats off bhai
Fabulous video as always. You should be making videos more than once a week (Sunday), we all are waiting eagerly for your uploads. Thank you for making us feel in love with Attar :)
I found it in the aluminium columns when exchanging it to UpVc which my grandparents had got it installed and I found a feet piece well preserved in a ten feet column strangely when it was getting scraped a labourer wanted that aluminium column and surprisingly there was a wood piece inside. I immediately caught an eye and smelled it and damn that was some sweet fragrance I asked him to take the aluminium and leave the wood once it was breaken into two pieces to get it out of the aluminium column. First I thought it was teak but then when I burnt a small piece and that fragrance is indescribable... I am interested to sell about 150 grams of it . Coz I want people to experience how beautiful the aroma and fragrance it's probably about 40 years old guessing from the time of construction dark brown almost wine like colour.. the aroma is always lurking around in my room
Thank you so much for this video ill be looking to get some as soon as I can but would you tell me where I can find that song used at the end of the video?
Vague Oud, the Oud source is unknown, probably just a common fake Oud, adulterated young trees injected with formula don't belong to real pure Oud called inoculated.
what is really helpful for a beginner is to get a sense of how much a piece weigh. Those from india that you picked up one by one, are they 1 gram each? 3? 5? half a gram?
Hey Nikhil, thanks for this video! This is some amazing hands on information. Can you please let me know if the oud wood chips from ASAQ and their likes are genuine agarwood? They definitely smell good but are they just made to look like real wood? Or is it real wood with more synthetic smell added to it? Any insight you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Soo hard to find in the uk !, Palo Santo has arrived but sadly not bahkoor oudh ,but nice processed packs of solid block bahkoor oudh can be bought, true wood is Still the best 🏁
This reminds me of fat wood. Fatwood is created when a resinous evergreen tree dies, and all the resin settles at the bottom. It is quite flammable and is used as a fire starter, but it is also very fragrant. The best is the stuff that is almost translucent with resin. Very nice wood as well, there is a good thrill when finding it on your own in the woods.
Hello Nikhil, your videos are very informative , Thanks for making and please continue making perfume videos. There are lot of inexpensive attars, or even sprays which mention White Oud and Black oud , what is the difference between these two and their aroma experience?
I want to explore more of indian source of Oud incense, you video was really helpful. Can you suggest me of any place where i can go and test various types of authentic agarwood without worrying about fake products
Nikhil sir, can we reuse the oud chips or bakhoor that we burn once or do we have to throw it away after one use and get a new piece of oud or bakhoor when burning it again?
Can I put oud oil or a frankincense oil over my bukhoor wood and mix it all with a incense resin and then place it all on a warmer with a tea candlelight to have the aroma fragrance my home? I'm not a fan of charcoal smells. Will combining my Bukhoor Wood mix give me the same results with the scents vs burning it with charcoal?

Thanks bhai 😊
I have wanted to learn more about Oud...and your video is extremely informative. Thank you so much for doing this. Very, very well done. Blessings upon you.
He is an excellent source of information, before his videos I knew nothing at all and now I'm so intrigued!

Phenomenal video...thank you for sharing the passion. It was interesting...what is your suggest on the different type and best agar wood for distilling oil vs burning for incense?? Thanks so much!
What a splendid informative video - thank you, sir! Any way of benchmarking what kind of prices certain ouds should be?
A very interesting video, which we don't see every day.
Thank you for this!
The electric 'subitism' type incense heaters really are a game changer for agarwood.

Super Knowledge Man In INDIA NIKHIL BHAI... Awesome full of knowledge and lessons for learner like Me Bhai ...
Terima kasih video nya, saya berasal dari Kalimantan, Indonesia, apakah kayu gaharu seperti itu mempunyai harga yang tinggi ?
But there is no smell while burning.
What is the reason?
Loved it brother what a great piece of information now waiting for your Hindi version for understanding it much better
Bhai Acchi quality ka oud wood Kaha se milega , can u plzz tell some contacts ? Burner n all main online mangwa lunga
Loved it. But the material I spoke about is much different, although that's used for same purpose.
Love ur work bro...
From Karachi, Pakistan.
precious information that was, for a beginner like me. really appreciate your efforts

I appreciate the knowledge! Learnt alot!
Love u nikhil sir for this great video

Sirr please surrati perfumes aur bakhoor pe video banao
Sir, please upload the price range of different types of OUD.
What type of oud we get in Indian market.
I wish you would have reviewed the "Crocodile Agarwood".
he already show it... its called garynop
Any essential oil realiable web stores recommendations? Great video, btw. Maybe the best fragrance channel on YT.
Hi i do have some pure natural oudh oil for sale. Just dm me on my instagram @irfanbelalang for more info !
what is really helpful for a beginner is to get a sense of how much a piece weigh. Those from india that you picked up one by one, are they 1 gram each? 3? 5? half a gram?

My tongue is unable to describe you. You are the expert of the oud thanks br..
Soo hard to find in the uk !, Palo Santo has arrived but sadly not bahkoor oudh ,but nice processed packs of solid block bahkoor oudh can be bought, true wood is Still the best 🏁
Who is here after bolton's and Nikhil's post?
Yatharth chaturvedi lol
I truly enjoy your expertise, thank you.
Like an expert that you really are !
We have many agarwood trees here in leyte.
Just looked at Tonys website and im very interested to try his oils. Have you tried his frangipani oil?
This reminds me of fat wood. Fatwood is created when a resinous evergreen tree dies, and all the resin settles at the bottom. It is quite flammable and is used as a fire starter, but it is also very fragrant. The best is the stuff that is almost translucent with resin. Very nice wood as well, there is a good thrill when finding it on your own in the woods.
technicaly it is the same
Fantastic video. Thank you ❤️
So informative.Thank you mate 👌🏻
Hello Nikhil, your videos are very informative , Thanks for making and please continue making perfume videos. There are lot of inexpensive attars, or even sprays which mention White Oud and Black oud , what is the difference between these two and their aroma experience?
sir,can you expirience agarwood from pilipines,we my group looking in the mountain ,if wecan found agar can you help for buyer,
Have you ever made out the worth of all the odour shedding elements? (Perfumes,bakoor,wood,burners,)
I never smelled agarwood before, would you recommend that I buy cultivated, or what ppl call wild, I heard even that is cultivated!
Brilliant content 👌
thank you so much very informative video
Hello Bhaiya... I searched it but didnt get it... please help me for this diffuser to burn oud wood.. I have oud wood but dont know how to burn..
Great knowledge, enjoyed watching!

I'm not a fan of charcoal smells. Will combining my Bukhoor Wood mix give me the same results with the scents vs burning it with charcoal?
What can you say about the Philippines’ agar wood?
Very nice Dr.Shaib
Thank you for this channel give us idea regarding agarwood
So you don't actually need the fungus to produce Oud? Just damage to the tree will produce Oud?
