Cardamom Body Oud

A wonderful blast of realistic spicy cardamom (similar to the one in Hermes Voyage) paired with a good oily amber that's typical of Abdul Samad Al Qurashi. It starts off pretty sweet, to the point I almost dismissed it, as I don’t like sweet fragrances. But as it dries down, more spices start to pop up, most certainly some cinnamony nutmeg. In the far dry down, it smells 80% similar to Boucheron Jaipur Homme EDP, which is a huge plus. The difference is that this is stronger on cardamom and amber with a bit of sweetness. What a fantastic release.

Beyond the cardamom and spices, there's incense, musk and a beautiful powdery facet that, to me, in some extent reminds Spicebomb Metallic Musk. The opening is spicy and woody with a light touch of oud, but the drydown turns musky, powdery and incredibly comforting. Much softer and wearable than the first spray suggests. I layered this with Ex Vetiver from Juliette Has a Gun and it is just perfect.

it's so clean and yet pleasing cardamom, perfect for layering,even tho is wearable by itself. Great longevity, obviously not that much of a sillage. And bottle, bottle is majestic and those little woods floating there looks so beautiful

This is just incredible, I love natural fragrances and this one smells exactly like cardamom and nothing else. Perfect for layering. Has a very clean, fresh scent. The sticks of wood inside the bottle are also a fun addition.

As always, Abdulsamad Al Qurashi performs an art beyond comprehension it smells so expensive, so classy majestic, smooth cardamom with amber and slightly crisp and heavy

smooth clean scent. oud is there but not overpowering

When you spray it for the first time you will receive a jet of cardamom which will vanish by the spices ( although I got some hazelnut within it ), and then settle down as a faint cardamom, amber mostly and a hidden oud. Project for almost 2 hours and ladt about 10 hours . بعد رش العطر سوف تستقبل كمية من الهيل و الكشمير و التي تندمج مع التوابل و اظن ان فيها بعض البندق و يستقر العطر ببقايا الهيل و العنبر الطاغي و العود المخفي...يدوم لبضعة ساعات و يفوح لحوالي الساعتين...اظن ان فيلفيت عود أكثر ثباتا و فواحانا رغم انه اغلى و يشبه عطر انيشيو

A really nice spicy cardamom fragrance that smells clean and uplifting to be worn daytime or night time. sits close to the skin and lasts upto 3 hours.
