Black Incense

This is simply amazing; great scent and performance. I bought this at their Samad Al Qarashi boutique store in Qatar and then bought several bottles more. It has a resinous and balsamic vibes that remind me of Cartier's L'Envol mixed or the balsamic vibe as found in Le Labo's Tonka. Finally, this intriguingly resinouse and balsamic scent is kissed by an agreeable/tempered oud accord as found in Gucci Guilty Oud. Perhaps this can be considered unisex but I would have to disagree with this leaning in any particularly feminine direction. My only critique is that while the bottle and presentation at opening is quite imposing, the longevity of the bottle is questionable.. my bottle after about 1 year started having issues with the sprayer and would leak with travel.

To me this is all about a light pink rose. Effervescent, light in feel but not longevity or projection. It’s a long lasting, spring/summer scent with hints of patchouli (not in pyramid above but absolutely there) and amber to add depth. Super linear. It lasts a solid 6-8 hours and projects for much of this time. I find it a bit tougher to pull off for me and I’d find it much nicer on a woman. Classy scent for sure. 8.25/10. Worth a sniff if you like very well done rose for the spring or summer time. Well priced for the outstanding quality.

Having been exposed to people from middle east on a daily basis, i have already smelled something similar especially on the dry down from other middle eastern perfume brands. What makes this stand apart is its initial blast of sparkling fizz. Imagine the feeling of being showered(immediately upon recklessly opening the cork of a zinfandel rose champagne) by the burst of effervescent summery goodness of rose - but not that feminine kind of rose. Men in the middle east would wear this more than women.

This is a value for money freshie / citrus fragrance that projects very well and lasts couple of hours (above average for a citrus fragrance). The scent profile is similar to other fragrances 5 to 6x its price. You get soft rosy-lemon at start and violet-vetiver at dry down. Very fresh and extremely pleasant. Unisex, Versatile and Office Safe! Shukran Habibi!

It is a really good perfume. It has a unique smell and it is one of those perfumes that you want to keep smelling it. The performance is really really good and also it has a great sillage. Got it for 92$ with 50% discount. It is 185$ originally
