TRANSCRIPT (Partial)
————————————

Doc: So what kinds of notes are going to be in this?
Ensar: Well, I can give the notes away or I can let you try it first and then see how on the mark your assessment is.
(Ensar swipes the Doc with the oil)
Doc: It smells very similar to some of the ouds that I have. I was smelling it last night. (Doc reaches for his collection)
Ensar: Such as. Here comes the collection guys. Brace yourselves.
Doc: Just to compare it. What I was smelling last night was the Oud Royale, the Boneo 3,000, and Kadi Khalbar, Khalbar 3,000…
Ensar: Those are some really big names, like real heavy hitters, so when you say these names YouTube might experience a…
(Laughter)
Doc: Like it's right up there with them.
Ensar: I mean actually if you want to know the real providence of this, this is Vietnam so actually this would be above them just by that simple fact. Even though this is not from trees that are as old by any comparison or any means as let's say Oud Royale that you're talking about or Borneo 3000. Oud Royale and Borneo 3000 the thing about them is that they were distilled according to the Arabian aesthetic, you see what I mean. So they were fermented for a certain amount of time-not Borneo 3000. That's actually a mistake. Oud Royale was. You're talking about Oud Royale 1 or 2 here?
Doc: Number 2.
Ensar: No, numbers 2, then you're talking…we're in the same league as this. Then it's Japanese aesthetics. If we were talking about Oud Royale 1, that would be the traditional boiling of fermented wood, you know which is like the Indian, Arabian kind of system.
Doc: Yeah, so I never smelled Oud Royale number 1.
Ensar: Never?! You got to visit Sidi Yusuf. He has a bottle of that.
Doc: Really?
Ensar: You just got to tell him…he loves making coffee, alright just say, "I heard you make great coffee. I want to taste a cup from your hand. I have to…"
Doc: I've been there for coffee like three or four times.
Ensar: You got to tell him bring out the Oud Royale. You went there for coffee. I mean you're wasting your time.
