Fragrance progression

Mai sweet Thai begins very smoothly with an interplay of clearly recognizable oud, a whole basket full of dried fruits like apricot, juicy, slightly sweet and citrusy tamarind with a hint of vanilla, delicate leather with slightly animalic accords and a whole bag full of spices like cumin, cinnamon, cardamom and star anise.

An outsider could... yes, he would have to ask himself the following question:

How do these notes even fit together?!

And the answer is:

Creation allows the seemingly impossible-to-match notes to “perform” brilliantly to form a perfectly coordinated orchestra of fragrances.

The shallow, citrus-like top notes go perfectly with the tamarind accord and later give way to the notes of a basket full of fine dried fruits, with apricot in the foreground.

After half an hour, slightly leathery, animalic tones emerge, underpinned by a hint of foreign spices.

After a few hours, Mai Sweet Thai becomes softer and even rounder.

The quality offered is 100% pure Agarwood oil, WITHOUT synthetic additives!

A true masterpiece of its kind for this unbeatable price!

The “entrance price” into the league of pure oud oils usually starts at a price range of several hundred euros, depending on the origin, age/maturation process and distillation method.

And I am certainly not talking about the “dead-cooked” Agarwood woods, which are cooked for the second time at excessive pressure and much too high a temperature.

" Squeezing the soul out of the body"

This is then often diluted with a cheaper “extending medium” such as nargamotha or boyawood oil, and then sold to uninformed buyers on the market as pure oud oil at a price of $15-25 per ml.

Pure oud oil is far more valuable than gold.

We have already imported Oud Chips to Germany and distilled them ourselves.

Each wood is of course individual in terms of oil content, but as a rough guideline you can say that you can get a maximum of 4-8 ml of pure oud essence from 1 kg of oud wood.

You can see how much 1g of mid-range oud chips costs here on eBay; and you don't need to have studied mathematics to calculate that a price range of €15-30 per ml can't be pure oud essence!

Or do you really believe that a dealer would sell you a gram of 24-carat troy ounce gold for €15-30, when the price of gold is currently around €75?

No! Of course not!!

Nobody on this planet has anything to give away! At least not online retailers looking for new sales markets abroad.

So why should it be any different with the oud?

These days, unfortunately, you can even consider yourself lucky if you get your hands on such an oud blend, because most of the “liquids” that have the word oud on them have never had a drop of real oud pass the bottling plant where the “swill” was bottled.

Sad but true!

But what is almost even sadder than fraudulently gaining a monetary advantage through such dubious machinations:

There are countless fragrance buddies out there who own various oils and regularly scent themselves with so-called "oud oils," but have actually NEVER touched real oud. Even worse are those friends who, for example, were at some bazaar in Thailand and supposedly bought "real oud" from a street vendor...€3...for 12ml! ;)

Of course!! Really!!

After all, you don't buy your gold jewelry at motorway service stations on the border with Eastern Europe, from certain family groups (potbellied men and women in skirts) who, driving a Mercedes at the edge of the service station, try to sell a gullible victim about 200g of gold jewelry for an initial price of €1,500, because they supposedly have a car breakdown and can't pay for the repairs...then you can come home really proud and tell your wife...

" Honey, I just bought 200g of 21-karat gold jewelry! The guy initially wanted €1,500, but I negotiated it down to €800."

The awakening comes at the latest in the pawn shop, when the employee behind the window tells you that you're holding scrap metal worth the equivalent of €5! ;)

… I've completely drifted off again…

..what do I want to tell you?!

NO ONE will sell you real, pure oud oil far below the market price!

(Several examples of allegedly genuine oud at dumping prices can be found even here on the platform)

BUT, sometimes you can get a really good oil, which would normally be in a higher price range, for a relatively buy at a reasonable price..

… and that is exactly what is here at

MAI sweet Thai

...the case!

The quality offered is a pure, natural agarwood oil (Oudh), distilled from “farm wood” from the Trat region of Thailand.

Agarwood, Gaharu, Agarwood, Oudh, Ginko, Aloewood....

This wonderful raw material has many names. We won't go into detail here about what agarwood is, what it's used for, or how this precious raw material gets into the wood.

One can assume that the fact that you have specifically searched for a high-quality oud oil on this platform indicates that you have at least some knowledge of the subject of "agarwood" or even know something about it!

After all, you wouldn't start a conversation with a potential customer walking into Brabus headquarters in Bottrop by telling them that a car is meant to get from A to B, has a combustion engine, four tires, a pair of seats, and a steering wheel. ;)

The customer would like to know details about what specifically distinguishes “Brabus” as a Mercedes-Benz tuner.

And that's exactly what we're trying to show you here. How does this pure oud oil differ from others? Both physically and olfactorily.
