Nice! I've got one of his brushes - they are really good.

Got me a bar of Klar Kabinett

Congrats - I unsuccessfully searched for some (and a Sir Irisch Moos stick) in Germany last Nov. Hard to come by. Enjoy! Look forward to your comments. Now I will turn a shade of envious green twice, what with @Blademonkey and you posting SOTD's with Kabinett .

Otoori Black Oudh & Bakhoor arrived today ...

15ml vials with glass dip stick.

Both absolutely lovely!

Very nice, and a lil fact Bakhoor is arabic for incense. So i'm guessing its l good rose incense smell?

It's Vanilla, Amber & Oudh. No Rose, alas.

I do have some lovely (actual) bakhoor with a superb rose scent. Bakhoor to burn is spent oudh chips re-soaked in attar oils (actual flower/resin oils). Rose is popular.

While we're on attars, we had a good conversation about attars over on ATG which has now gone into many pages. I'm going to re-post here as a new thread: http://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/community/index.php?threads/attar-عطار.46037/

There's a chap doing decants on one of the fragrance community Facebook groups. It was a one-off until he could gauge more interest in another bottle.

New chair for the home office.

Nothing fancy, just a new chair. Boy, oh boy, the old chair was knackered!

Woof! That Satin Mood looks lovely!

@Sid James

Is that a Viking decant as well?
