Tamed Hindi oud, smooth and dry, with some slight bittersweet coffee vibe with sandalwood, everything feels very realistic and natural, the rose just adds a tinge of brightness but it fades through the mid, it feels slightly fruity and powdery as it dries down with velvety soft sweet slightly barny oud that remains, overall, I really wish it lasted a bit longer, that would put this a notch higher because this scent really has character and doesn't compromise on quality at all, like others from this house. In the dry down has faint similarities with Ajmal's Oudh Mukhallat. 7/10

It does have a fair amount of rose in the opening but it is not overly girly and the sandalwood and oud seem to soften the roses punch. This to me is pretty darn good sent. Its oudy but not animalic at all. Its woody and dry oud. Than sandalwood adds the creamy and warm notes. The rose gives it a light floral smell after dry down. If you can still find it its not a bad oud to try.

The pure aged aoud and the extracted musk are gathered with amber and the finest woods in one blend "Al Ghar", giving a shining aroma
