Sweet, balsamic and musky oud. Rich and elegant. Cashmeran is easy to pick. Dries down to a rich dark sandalwood ambery oud. Complex in a very good way. Great material!

Having lived in the middle-east for more than 15 years I feel I have been exposed to a lot of Oud in varying qualities and can give a fairly objective opinion of these materials.
Oud Samrat is a lovely woody soft creamy deep oud and is very natural. Very highly recommended and much closer to a hot dessert oud than Oud Maleki from the same manufacturer.
