Liking my TOBS Oud shaving cream more and more, the scent I mean. Quite exotic I just wish the scent stuck around a bit longer Not sure if it is the real deal as far as Oud goes but it has made me more interested... Any suggestions for a good Oud ASL or EdP that's not too pricey?

Thank you for your reply and the link to that thread I search Oud etc but the search box wants more than 3 letters! I like my TOBS shaving cream, the scent doesn't last long into the day, hoping to find more of the same in an aftershave product Will have a look at the mentions in the linked thread you sent
Chris, if you want real Oud, that'll be pricey. Otherwise what you will get with 99.9% of "Oud" products are aroma chemicals. Now, they can be nice, but in the end, they do NOT really smell like oud. They smell more like pencil shavings, especially the AoS Oud shaving cream. I happen to have some experience with oud. There is NO soap available that uses real oud. You can get an oud cologne, which costs around $70.00 that, imo, smells exactly like the oud oils I have. It is called Dehn el Oudh Malaki https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075L7M8D4/?tag=thshde-20 It is a terrific "base" to layer other scents. Sandalwood, rose, etc. The price is reasonable so if you hate it, you haven't broken the bank.
And when you're ready for something challenging: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3942867619...XmJJfcdOSMjB42onlnCgTRUSZw==|tkp:BFBM6P7Y3cdj
I went to a store that specialized in OUD products. It was crazy expensive, but smelled really nice. It was interesting to sample the variety of custom OUD Colognes. I didnt but anything, but came out smelling pretty good, the rest of the day. https://arabianoud-usa.com/ .
Wish I hsd the $$$. Until then, AgadirMen it is(course Doc Ezlovan did a nice job with his Oud dupe at Stoylin).
Thanks Primo, looks cool too, (won't ship to where I live) Again, won't ship.. Great source of info There are some Oz online outlets, but as mentioned already, that would be costly and buying an unknown product Will need to think laterally on this one!

Well I found some, 20 minutes up the road in my home town of Perth, makes sense with the multicultural communities here Arabic Oudh Oud oil imported from Saudi Blended locally, lots to choose from, best to be able to sample these in person More fun!
Enough Oudh for now....! I suppose it's like coffee Different profiles depending on the region and species of origin
The Oudh I have, Enough for now The Oudh I would Have had before Not had the wood To buy before Ne'er thought to have So much as this The Oudh, the wood The Scent, such bliss
