Elegant Gifts for the Season

Have really enjoyed this.....great job.

The quality of the products truly exceeds their descriptions. The resins and Oud are of the highest grade that can be acquired by anybody outside the region. I am very pleased to have found Oudimentary.

Packaging and product are both of great quality. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful smelling has decent amount of resin still in the wood I would buy it again

Disappointed by the quality and how quick it burns off

Excellent Friend

No scent after burning. I am still open to trying some of the other products however

Disappointed as I wasnt aware the Oud was going to be ground so fine. I thought it was going to be Oud pieces.

Masha’Allah really liked the quality!

I am so glad my daughter told me about this company. I have
had wonderful service and enjoy my incense. Thank you so much.

Loved it

I was optimistic as I really enjoy the subtle aroma of oud. But the quantity and quality were poor (ie, small amount and not pleasantly aromatic).

One of my favorites to burn. Quality scent!

I purchased this same blend back in 2018 and still have some left. When I compared the two I noticed this new blend is not as potent as the older blend and is a bit lighter as well. Still smells great though. I’d definitely recommend

Was expecting something better...This was an average incense...wished I had not this much now.
Don't think I will be buying from this company anytime soon

Woody, herby and not not too sweet. Exactly what I hoped it would be when I imagined being in Japan, sitting in and old dojo made of wood, facing a seated calm master in a traditional robe.

Soothing, calm yet lively, with a hint of stylishness.

I love this blend. I bought the Wild Rose Blend when it was first released not knowing much about it. I was confident that the blend would not disappoint as I have purchased many items from Oudimentary dating back to 2016. As expected the Wild Rose Blend exceeded my expectations and has been a pleasant addition to our household enjoyed by family and friends. I recommend you try this blend, you will not be disappointed.

Scent is delightful but not worth the extraordinary retail price.

This unique blend is perfect to set the vibe. It slowly sets into the room, changing as the various components burn and develop into a robust concoction that will have you sniffing the air to take in as much as you can. Was skeptical while burning initially but was blown away by the time it set into the room.

my fiance absolutely loves the rose scent! we burn it on my electric heater at 180 to enjoy the rose then crank it to 250 to fully enjoy the woods. would buy it by the barrel if I could.

Was hesitant to order but couldn't resist. Very thankful I did. This stuff is just amazing! A must have if you love rose. Perfectly blended. Powerfully filled up the room and enjoyed the scent for hours. The frankincense contributes the perfect element and the patchouli really brings it all together. Will likely buy a backup

A wonderdul light Oud blend. Great place for Oud, very very satisfied with their Oud blend. Great for all day every day wear.

- It's... Warm... it's got... Berries... Like a Strawberry Blueberry hybrid, but... not freshly cut ones. It's almost exactly like... A warm "Mixed Berry"Poptart, straight outta the toaster, that you spit open with your hands, and smell the warm strawberry filling.

- Next, there is also something like... Warm Graham Crackers, or Pie Crust. Both, really...

- There is also a distinct hint of... Olives... (Not black though, but the Green or Brown ones, they often have in fancy salad bars, or in jars.) Salty, Pungent.

- I also get a note of... the smell of the "sticky side" of Duct Tape - as odd as that sounds...

- Also, something else, but... it isn't strictly a, "Smell" per se, but, more of a sensation, or a vision that occurs. It's something like... "Effervescence"... like... something foamy or bubbling. Like... the tickling prickling noise, as well as sensation, of millions of tiny bubbles rising up and popping, like sticking your nose down in a wine glass with some fruity bubbly champagne, and it tickles your nose, as well as your brain.

- There's also a thick, sweet, saccharine smell, slightly, "Winey" or "Boozy" that you often get with Benzoin extracts

- Also... Wet grey stone, like a pile of clean gravel, that's been rained on.

- A light, or, "watered down" Patchouli... (But it's very faint, and it seems to only show up during the drydown.)

- The "colors" of the smell, strike me as: Pink, Purple, Brown, and Blue.

- A bit of Chocolate, but... Like the smell of the foil wrapper around chocolate, after it has melted in your pocket, and stuck to it - then it dries out, and you smell the wrapper later. Like that.
This would be excellent in a Gourmand. Definitely like... "The warm smell of pastries, berry pies and olives in the air". Definitely full of good sweet kitchen smells.

- And lastly... as it dries down... Faint hints of... pipe tobacco? and... well...
There's also this other... rather odd component... (to some people anyway)

- Imagine that, AFTER you've brushed your teeth, and have a clean mouth, you licked the back of your arm. Then, several minutes later, after it has dried, you smell it. If your mouth is clean and healthy, I wouldn't say it necessarily smells, "Bad" just very... "Human". A damp sticky breathy quality. And depending on your preferences, some people don't mind that in a fragrance... *shrugs*

Anyway, that's all I have to say about the Fragrance as it stands now, however...

Oud is always incredibly fascinating in perfumery, because... It never quite seems to do exactly what you think it will, or what you expect it to... What I mean is, it can be very, "Chameleon-Like" when added to other oils to create a blend.
For example, if you added Lavender to something, you could safely expect it to make your scent, well, more Lavender-y. But Oud? No. Not so easy to anticipate. It has too much nuance. Too much complexity on it's own to really nail it down completely.
However, this is why Oud is so much fun to own and play around with! And I think if you haven't used it before, that this small vial of Oud Blend would be perfect for some initial experimentation, and at a low cost, so you won't be deterred by a larger price tag!

Try it out! I doubt you'll be disappointed!

Smells nice. Peaceful vibes. Reminiscent of frankincense. I heard Brother Ali talking about it on his podcast

this is the oil that introduced me to and helped me become obsessed with oud oil. for the price you absolutely can't beat it!

I fell in love with orange blossom on my first visit to Morocco. So I was delighted to find it via Oudimentary. The oil is very authentic and can be used for home and body. I love it!

A very good long lasting scent.

As an oil, not necessarily an oud enthusiast, I must say I was unpleasantly surprised at the overpowering neroli note that remained constant from application to dry down. I feel the name should be changed from Orange to Neroli Blossom. Awesome if one is really into the scent of Neroli. It definitely lacks any hint of orange or spice that is mentioned in the description.

What can I say, besides Oud, Orange Blossom/ Neroli is my favorite note. This Moroccan Orange Blossom oil smells divine. It's clean, fresh, a bit zesty even. Will be ordering it again!

Will I run out I will buy again great oud oil.

Amber and Oud is hands down my favorite blend from Oudimentary. It has the perfect blend of both, one not over powering the other. Warm amber, a hint of musk, and a pinch of patchouli is exactly what I needed to get grounded for the fall.

Out of my $150 purchase which was discounted by 30% this is the only thing I could honestly say I liked. I had been waiting to try these products for a few years. I absolutely love the smell of Oud. I was excited to finally make the purchase. Unfortunately the quality I would expect for such an expense was missing.

The amber is warm and comforting and the musk is invigorating. This is a classic scent.

The Amber & Oud oil is smoky and sweet. I would say a little on the sweeter side, but after it's been on my skin for a while, it's more smoky, which I like a lot. Great product. I also got the Oud Blend oil and that one is excellent too.

A good one to start off with to develop your senses before you dive deep into the more 'acquired' smells..

Ambre D'hiver

I am in love with this scent, its warm and cozy. Woodsy and sweet that mellows into a subtle spice. I add it to my morning shower ritual.

this is perfectly balanced anyone could probably wear it. I have bought two other oils and this is my favorite

Very enjoyable and forest smells abound....

Tarakan definitely gives me the feeling of walking through a forest! Wearing it throughout the day provided me a relaxing, centering feeling as well.
