What flavor, no, not flavor, but the elixir could be concluded by the Arabs in a bottle, the shape of which repeats the magnificent Kaaba !? Of course, only the best raw materials, the best ingredients are included in the Sadeen fragrance.

In the notes of aroma, echoes of spices and spices are heard: palmarosa, clove,saffron and sandalwood - they are immersed in the magical oriental world.

If you are ready, dive headlong into the abundance of spices of the East, feel free to choose this fragrance. Each time, he will start to surprise you more and more, demonstrating his unruly character. “Sadin” is the name for people who care for a Muslim shrine - Kaaba, built in the shape of a “cube” and located in the courtyard of the main mosque - Mesjed al-Haram in Mecca) initial notes: floral and green notes, 1st rose taifi (Arouss), geranium, Hyacinth heart notes: palmarosa, clove, light spices (Saffron), sandalwood base notes: honey notes, real ambergris, real black deer musk, precious kalakassi oud oil

The first edition of the Black Stone contained a tola and a half (roughly 18ml) of oil but weighed 19oz or almost 550g and was produced to commemorate ASQ's Diamond Jubilee. It featured much less tacky gold and lettering than its smaller successor housing only one tola. Sadine's artwork displays anteriorly the very finely chiseled Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, whilst all other surfaces of the cube are untreated in their black shiny minimalism. Sadine (its original name) smells exactly how it looks: majestic, monumental, awe-inspiring and incredibly dark. A very strong, warm and spicy incense note, reminiscent of cured meat, opens up with a black, damp and moldy and very woody oudh in its immediate trail, which turns soapy to announce the coming of the ta'if after the initial blast. As the smoke lifts the rose opens initially bright and optimistic then turns gothic-dark and almost menacing as it becomes surrounded by shadows of black musk and swirls of malachite green fumes from forgotten and sacred dusty resinoids. Sadine's dynamic is surprising if juxtaposed to other collossal scents such as Arabian Oud's King Fahd Blend in particular or even Monsieur Lucas' Ô Hira or Oud777 and one gets a full display of the mukhallat even with a single drop. It is darker than both of Amouage's premier rose/oudh players, Badr al Badour featuring Damasc rose and Silver Oudh comprised of Cambody and Burmese oils, as well as Molook with its Ta'if and Indian/Cambodi oudh blend. Sadine was my first of many by ASAQ and I still enjoy it tremendously for its symbolism, presentation, historic value and for the scent of course. However, this is not an easy entry point for getting to know oudhs; no need to fear any barnyard here but beware of the darkness.

This is now called Sadeen Blend, not Sadine. I could smell the high quality immediately. Aged but very warm oud with a smooth and relaxing incense and warm light spice vibe. High quality (Al Taef?) rose notes almost from the open, but it's not the typical synthetic feminine rose. This is a very unisex composition, and not earthy or barnyard oud. I use this for evenings, formal events and meditation. This has become my favorite evening perfume, and I try to find reasons to wear it. Very high projection and longevity on me. I think this has been discontinued, but I found a sample online, along with some others ASQs from the same vendor. I expect the 18 ml bottle to last me for quite a long time.

Its an Oud Mukhallat for the advanced users. Inside the majestic bottle is a scent very traditional amd most importantly authentic. The scent comprises of Taif Rose, Amber, Musk and Oud. Oud is the background note soft and non skanky. There is a huge dose of musty amber and soapy Taif rose in the opening. Drydown is all glorious animalic black musk. Everything is of high quality. Lasting power and sillage is immense. Not for beginners but advanced users. Regal and majestic.

I don't get much incense as other describe, but find it so wearable and even if my work colleagues often cringe when smelling some oils that I have shipped to my office, they do compliment Sadeen Blend. I put it on about 7:30 in the morning and can still smell it on my pefume consuming skin before 18:00. This is one of the best performances I get from any kind of perfume.
