I saw the packed bottle at an Ajmal shop in Dubai in April 2014. Tip of the fabulous crystal bottle was 22 c gold. It was limited edition and is sold out. They didn’t have a tester bottle so I couldn’t try it at that time. The price was almost $ 1400 for just 10ml of oud. This was, I was told, very special and rare blend of purest Assamese and Cambodian oud. A friend in Kuwait sent me a few drops of this juice few months back. It was like the animalic Assam oud was tamed by the sweet Cambodian oud. Woodsy, sweet and little animalic it was. For connoisseurs of pure oud this might be a great oil. At this price point it’s a pass for me.

Funny how noses differ.
As Hindi ouds go, this is to my nose very wearable and not remotely fecal. Subtle even. Yes, it has animalic facets as well as boatloads of incense into the drydown. The best Hindis do that! It also has a bit of hay and a tiny bit of anise in the top notes. Again, relative to other Hindi ouds, I find this very wearable in polite society in the west if you go with small enough amounts. Layers beautifully under Oriental spray perfumes too. This has quickly become a go-to oud for me.
Is it worth the price? Well, the bottle is decorative and there is no question that the oud is top-notch.
But if you can do without the bling-y bottle, and a top-notch Hindi is what you’re after, Ajmal’s Saif al Hind is also very beautiful and wearable but at a much lower price.
@Desertmirage – stick with Borneos and Cambodis. 😉
