Hello , Ramsey 👋 Thank you for the fantastic review of this beautiful Indian Oud. Here are some of my thoughts on it, I wore it yesterday:
Areej le Doré - The History of Indian Oud:
2 sprays on my neck + 1 spray on wrist.
Longevity over 20h on skin.
Projection and sillage are very good at least in 4 first hours.
Oil shining stays on skin less than in Cambodian and Indonesian Oud.
2-nd most animalic from this collection after Chinese Oud.
Smells 100% natural.
Opens up with the fermented cheese, barnyard, funky, animalic, a touch of smokiness, leathery smell and of course Oud wood. It’s very deep, full 3D, and smells like the highest quality Oud. Fermented cheesy Oud smell in the opening reminds me a bit of Bortnikoff Oud Maximus Autumn’19 opening, but more fermented and a bit more animalic. I really enjoy the smell in the opening, it’s a bit challenging, very interesting and addictive at the same time. From the neck it’s a bit less funky and animalic, then smelling it up close. Opening is quite heavy. Chinese Oud is the most intense one in the opening, 2nd is Indian Oud.
Very slowly changes, after 4 hours the fermentation and barnyard smell is still there but less intense, I still smell smoky leather, it became a bit spicier, woody, starting slowly getting a bit sweeter and some fruity vibe, a bit boozy. It smells very dense but have some freshness in it. Love the smell from my neck and wrist right now. I can smell it from my neck without moving after 4 hours. It feels quite strong, when I’m moving now.
I can’t stop sniffing my wrist and moving myself to sniff it from my neck. I think Indian Oud is amazing.
After 6 hours it’s smells quite similar as 2 hours ago, but a little bit sweeter and spicier, I also smell a touch of spicy Oud like in Ottoman Empire III but without roses, some spicy-gourmand-balsamic Oud from Lao Oud by Bortnikoff, more similar to Lao Oud than OEIII, but Indian Oud is more animalic.
After 8 hours it’s still a bit animalic and funky, woody, spicy, a bit sweet. I can smell it from my neck. From neck I almost don’t smell any funk now. I get some ancient woods smell feeling.
In the late dry down Indian Oud smells more intense than Chinese Oud.
After 14 hours it’s a skin scent, smells woody, a bit sweet, spicy, smoky, burnt wood
After 17 hours it’s still on my wrist and I can clearly smell it.
After 17,5 hours I moisturized my wrist a little bit and the smell of Indian Oud became much more intense, now I can smell woody smoky Oud with a touch of animalics.
It’s fantastic, very complex and interesting. Love to have a bottle of Indian Oud and will wear it with joy.

Beautiful breakdown 🐏
@@RamseytheRam Thanks, Ramsey 🙏 I want to wear them on my neck and make some notes before filming a review.
Today I wore Chinese Oud to the beach ☀️ It’s also quite complex, but a bit too animalic in the first hour for my taste, it’s very funky)) But after the first hour it becomes more pleasant and i really enjoyed it.
Beautiful breakdown. Love your reviews!
What a spectacular breakdown
I'm so happy I picked up Indian Oud.
It's everything I wanted.
Great review Ramsey.
best of the holiday weekend to you and your family.
You too Eddie... thanks for watching my friend 😊
Excellent education on Ibdian oud, best ive seen so far, thank you again Ransey fir your enduring passion with perfunery in all of its forms
Thank you so much for watching & commenting 🙂
Second time I've watched this video . Thanks, brother! I've been a subscriber for some months now, and I watch you at work. I work in security management at the Briscoe Ranch in Teaxs. So you are absolutely correct when it comes to the scent profile of oud. My brother smelled my fragrance and said I smelled like cat pics 😆. So I have many attars, but the closest oud I have is the beautiful (Voice of the soul Oud Arabia Dubai). Simply blended so beautiful, and I've had my bottle for about a little over a year now. Oud lover for life ❤
Thats awesome... thanks so much for watching & commenting... oud lover for life indeed 👍🏻
Sorry. Can’t live with just 22 mil of Indian oud. Had to order another one. Lol. 🎉🎉
Well played brother ... well played indeed 😂😂😂
@@RamseytheRam Great review as usual, Ramsey.
I have not tried ALD History of Indian Oud, however, the reference of Indian Oud to me so far is Spirit of Dubai Oud.
I believe Indian oud there is so exotic and very bold that despite of an arm long list of notes, I almost never able to pick any of those notes beside the one and only one beast…Indian oud.
Would love to know your thoughts on this since you smelled both perfumes.
Hi Ramsey! Although I'm pretty sure I'm not ready for Oud, I tuned in because I just enjoy your videos so much. I find them not only educational, but relaxing! I really thought today's description was so intriguing -poetic even. You called this scent "the soul of a tree in a bottle." Thanks for a lovely imaginative journey! Best regards, Rachel (Lipstick Bohemian)
Another wonderful Rachel in our community.
Welcome lady.
Enjoy this journey...
Yes I hope this review is even half as moving and touching as the fragrance ... thanks for watching 🙏🙏🙏
Indeed 🤌🤌🤌
Must be fate Rams ,you doing this little gem cause it was the one I most wanted but circumstances didn’t allow me to purchase from the getgo,now it’s still available and the fragrance gods have provided the means and availability wow the stars have aligned and your oil theory is more than plausible,in short my dear Rams I just grabbed one ,and now all the Oud fragrances that I would have loved a barnyard vibe from ,now have with a spray on top from this top notch Areej masterpiece oh yes it can lift any mundane oils I have to a apex level 👍cheers man today turned out to be a good day after all ✌️🙏👍
A brilliant day indeed Bren !!
Congrats on the purchase 🍻
Great content Ramsey you are a legend
Thanks so much for the kind words 💪🐏
You described this perfectly. I have the Indonesian, Chinese, and Indian and they are all great. I think the Chinese Oud is my favorite just because of the smoky nature it gives throughout the wearing.
Yes that smokey ashy element to Chinese oud is so unique ... there are kinamic aspects to it as well to my nose
@@RamseytheRam I agree! I have never smelled any kinam oud before, so I’m unsure if that part. I would no doubt love it as well.
You must like smelling like u shit yourself. Fecal Oud is CHEAP . The best ouds are the ones that smell complex and beautiful. Indian Oud is cheap, fecal and so nasty. Adam can’t get great quality Oud anymore so he’s peddling his garbage shitty Oud to the idiots who don’t know any better….lol ppl who have money to waste and love smelling like they shit themselves. I suggest stay home when u wear it , or ppl will think u have shit on yourself. I’ve passed by ppl in NYC who wear this fecal Oud, everyone can smell them and we all laugh at them coz it’s obvious they shit themselves. Only I know it’s the shitty Oud they’re wearing . Most ppl don’t know this. Ppl walking by this person holding their nose and laughing. And to think you spent a fortune to smell like SHIT…lol
I love the Indonesian Oud. Deciding on Indian Oud. Decision decision
If its still there its quite the collection peice 🤌🤌🤌
ah man, im tempted to grab the indian oud too now!
If its still available I think it would make the crown of your oud collection... thats the way I am vieweing these 👑
I have it, and I'm very very pleased with the purchase.
Ram did you get a sample of Adams special paste when buying the full set? and are you going to discuss it yourself?... I'm so intrigued by it and forgot to ask Adam to go into more detail about it on the live stream. He's talked a little about it in messages on his own channel but not indepth.
I did... havent worn it yet as I was going to save it for a special occassion 😁
@@RamseytheRam Ram, are you telling me 'Areej le Dore week' isn't a special occasion? 😳🤣🤣
@@Andy_T79 good point 🙂
I pulled the trigger on Indonesian Oud out of deference to Russian Adam, so am looking forward to your review of this and the "cola" accord that others have noted. Interestingly Ensar's EO 4 is based on cola. I am wondering how Adam's "cheapie" comes up against a $999 fragrance? Ensar takes a swipe at perfumers who just use one single ingredient "showcasing one brushstroke of blue paint on a canvas and calling it art". I wonder who this may be?🤔
I have never smelled EO4 so I cant comment ... but if you have smelled them both do report back and let me know your thoughts 😁
EO4 is a very creative creation by Ensar. Starts with soda pop like sensation, like vanillic cola....the cola note is done perfectly. It's also quite musky, then at the drydown he used his incredible purple oudy (Malaysian oud with purple fruit notes, trust me when you sniff it you will see the colour purple) DNA, this purple DNA has more potent presence in Purple Kinam and his mind-blowing Oud Sultani series...it's quite addictive and one spray is all you need. This is totally different kind of Perfumery, his own unique style! Worth trying..
@@alichowdhury6790 its on the never ending to sniff list 😬😬😬
Interesting. I got 0% barn from this one. It was sweet, plummy, and woody. Very rich. Very thick. Delicious.
You get zero barnyard from the history of Indian Oud?! 😱
@@RamseytheRam Yup, with one spray… slight barn with two sprays. Not the case with the Chinese though. The funk with the Chinese is extremely ‘present’.
God it sounds amazing! I have unfortunately no idea what oud smells like 😢
You just have to start smart ...buy .3 grams of something real from feel-oud or ensar or rising phoenix
Yeeeee can't wait for the next releases by Adam, because this collection didn't excite me a lot cause i prefer more "traditional" compositions than the ones with a single ingredient. Your channel is amazing mate, thank you. (I wish a live stream with Ensar Oud and one with Prin Lomros ❤️)
I dont like Prins creations so that might make for an awkward livestream but I would love to have Ensar on the channel one day... he has an open inviation from me to join anytime 😇
Yeah, let's see💥 🇮🇹
Hi Ram, would you say this is better than the night by FM in your opinion?
1000% better
@@RamseytheRam thank you for the reply, ordered the indian one.
Congrats 🥳🥳🥳
Do report back on how you find it 🍻
Fm the night is only mabye 40 procent indian oud and rose blend this one is 98 procent real oud so yes is better than fm the night but try boadicea the victorious nebulous if you like hardcore oud
@@zaidaiead8790 I do like it. Do you have it?
Barnyard to bed? 😮😱 One day I hope to appreciate those kinds of scents as much as you Ram. One day. Just not today. 😊
Barnyard to bed sounds like an awesome band 🎸
What’s your favourite one from the entire History Oud Oud collection?
Tough tough tough question 🤔🤔🤔
Probably toss up between Chinese Oud & Indian Oud
Welp. The site let me place the order, so here's looking to something really special.
Heck ya!!! Congrats 🥳
I’ve been so disappointed with everything he’s released the last 2 yrs that I’m not buying anything else from him. The resale value is crap. I can’t get half for the ones I bought. Aquilaria blossom is such crap that I can’t sell my new bottle for half what I paid. Same with his attars. Everyone including me, are looking to buy his older releases, like Antiquity, Siberian Musk, Russian Oud, etc. And they’re almost impossible to find. I have 20mls of these and using them sparingly til I can find more to buy. I especially am crazy about Siberian Musk and Malik Al Taif . I refuse to pay $800 for a 30ml bottle.
More of those older releases are coming soon :)
@@RamseytheRamram I like that the classics are re releasing with one who has never bought anything from the house would this collection be a no brainer or wait and buy individual bottles and if so would it be Chinese/Russian oud looking for suggestions please thank you.
@@edwardlawler9487 yes these are the ones I would go for 😊
@@RamseytheRam thank you very much
Hey, is the $160 Indonesian Oud better than Blue Oud by Arabian Oud?
I would say yes
@@RamseytheRam Thanks, I'll give it a try. It'll be my first Areej. I saw your video saying it smelled like a campfire and I like the smell of campfires
@@grant_chamberlain best campfire u will ever smell 🔥
@@grant_chamberlain on the mid / base I also get a cola note, which is a rare natural offshoot and it's quite close to EO4 imo... which I've recently dropped 1k on 😬 and while it's projection and longer lasting I wouldn't have bought the Ensar knowing what I know now... absolute bargain and just bought backups 😆
This Is Going To Be A Good Week. Thanks Professor.
Every day wearing an Areej creation is a blessing & a good day 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for watching Antonio 🤌🤌🤌
aromatherapy
Thats right 🐽
Thanks for watching Frank 🍻
Where the heck do you purchase these ?
Areejledore.com
If Adam wants to share his stuff with as many people as possible, he might simplify the packaging and pass that savings on to the customer. (My boxes go immediately into basement storage, so easy for me to say, I know.) But lower price doesn’t mean increased supply, so it would still be hard to get a bottle. Until you send me one for my birthday, but we’ll talk about that later.
Thanks for watching John. I take the opposite side and say I am glad as an artist he takes time to create these beautiful packages the juice lives in, the best part for me is unlike some brands the juice is worthy of being housed in a beautiful flaccon
@@RamseytheRam I just wonder what the prices might look like if he used stock bottles and cardboard boxes, because of course the customer is paying for the packaging. Cheaper + less landfill fodder means everybody wins.
@@Sliceisnice850 i dont think everyone wins... Art doesnt win... these works of art deserve better than a stock bottle and a cardboard box imho
@@RamseytheRam Chris Rusak ships his stuff in a simple cardboard box. Stock bottle. No sticker, just his name and the perfume’s name handwritten in enamel on the bottom. The perfume speaks for itself without arriving dressed like an emperor with velvet robes, pillows, and tassels. I really dig that minimalist style, I suppose. The opposite strikes me as a perfume arguing too much for itself.
🤷🏻♂️
To each their own I guess... That Chris Rusak example doesnt resonate with me as I have no idea who he is and I have never smelled his work
Only tried two of this collection. Indian oud is definitely definitely my favorite so far.
Indian Oud and Chinese Oud are my two favorites...but even the cheepie like Indonesian Oud & the most expensive Kinam oud (which I am usually not the biggest fan of) are growing on me 😊😊😊
I ordered another one Ajay. Can’t live with just 22 mil.
@@harikrishnankannan8711 haha…I’ll probably get another one as well
@@infinite8586 absolutely. It’s something else.
Well said Ram! 👏 and big love to all the fragrance community! ❤..... except PDM, Initio, Xerjoff, Mancera, Unique'e Lux Bros! You can take a hike!! 🤣🤣
Thats right! The little shites 😂😂😂
Liked your thoughts re: community. It can be a misused and overused word for online stuff, but for you, Rich Mitch, and Persolaise, it seems to apply.
Too many of the clowns out there treat their audience not as fellow hobbyists, but as a customer base to squeeze money from. Thanks for creating a space free of affiliate code-corrupted nonsense.
I appreciate that John 🫂
Just applied Indian oud, very complex, wife thinks I smell 😂
Ohhh you smell alright... its that you smell like Heaven 😅😅😅

Would love to see a perfumer portfolio of Jacques Cavallier
I thought I already did one 🤔
Check my perfumers portfolio playlist
@@RamseytheRam just looked mate not done one for him yet. Would love to see one though! He's a fantastic perfumer.
I did one... it was called Jacques cavallier perfumers portfolio ... search for that in youtube and you will see it..in the thumbnail I am holding a bottle of Rive Gauche Pour Homme
@@RamseytheRam just found it! Wasn't coming up at first. Nice one mate I'll give it a watch now
