Safari

It seems like every time I try a new ASAQ perfume, it becomes my favorite. I bought 15 samples of these from a new reseller in the US (theworldinscents.com, no rel'ship) that a friend turned me onto. I will write more reviews on these after I am finished my sampling. It's taking me some time to go through these tho cuz each one is really different. Im smelling things that I haven't experienced before. Been wanting to try ASQ, but has been impossible to get samples and products in US. Safari is a big fragrance that has been getting compliments at work. Not a real Saudi style oud fragrance, cuz I really cant smell oud at all vs the other samples I'm trying. If there is oud in this, it is a wearable westerny one, with tea (?), fruit and much sweeter than the ouds in my other samples. The small sample I bought has lasted me 4 applications and counting. Now my significant other has taken an interest in this, and we have been fighting over the remaining drop, so we decided to invest in a FB.

I too bought some samples. I'm finding it hard to work through these. They take some time. I've had them for a few weeks now and only got through a few samples. I really love this one. These are quite long long lasting and really different than any other fragrance I've ever tried. A few of the other dark OUD Cambodia was just a little too much for me now. I'm not sure they are in my DNA. However, I'll try one at a time as the new year comes along. I will say of the 10 I sampled, this one was by far my favorite. TWIS provides these and shipped quite quickly too. I was very much impressed with the owner's attention to detail. Oh another thing is the musk. I told him I don't like musk, and he said probably because you only smelled synthetic musk. He was right. The sample musk I got smelled so lovely also. I will admit that I do miss the "spray" of a fragrance. I'd say definitely grab a sample or two. Start with Safari.

I agree with Tandem..... sweet, warm luxury indeed. Well said! :) To my nose, this is gorgeously blended woody, green, balsamic, and vanilla notes. No description will be quite adequate, however. Is it worth the price tag? This would depend on whether you are in the habit of purchasing niche or not. If the answer is no, then save your money and buy something with a balsamic vanilla / vibe like Ciara or Tabu. There is nothing shoddy about either of these drugstore classics. In fact, they are among my richest, most revered brews! If - on the other hand - your answer is YES, then I can definately recommend Safari. You will be amazed at how much value you'll receive for your money's worth! Abdul Samad's massive boxes and heavy duty packaging look like something intended for royalty, not to mention that this is a concentrated oil with no alcohol. For those of you interested, Safari is well worth sampling. Five Stars

Perfume Safari - the true creation of the East, which reveals the tenderness and sophistication of women. Citrus notes of bergamot give a unique noble aroma, which will be a prelude to the awakening of sensuality, created by the essence of ylang-ylang. The deeper and more melodious notes of agarwood and cedar, slowly opening up, envelop and evoke a feeling of pleasure, while a thin and fresh vanilla trail remains with you throughout the day, adjusting to your mood. Vanilla seeds are grown and dried for 7 months under the scorching rays of the Mecca sun, only so that they absorb all his energy and give it to you. These enveloping oil spirits, made from rare natural ingredients, will undoubtedly become your favorite, so the manufacturer gives you the opportunity not to part with them ever. Ingredients: white agarwood, vanilla seeds, pineapple, ylang-ylang, bergamot, cedar.

Well guys. After having spent enough time with this scent I can say from the presenatiom to the blend....everything is simply Majestic. It is a royal nectar blended so very well. The beautiful white florals....a tad bit of suede.....white musk...the ultra refined ylang tea leaf combo...slight touch of spiciness and the heavenly woods. Not at all soapy or oily. Very calming and beautiful scent. Has superb longevity and projection if applied on skin and fabric properly. Purely unisex. But I enjoy the safari dna as a male. The safari extreme edp takes this on the muscle side. I cannot rate this out of 10. This is an experience which comes with subsequesnt usage. Wear it straight out of shower with a light deo. And let the trail leave a long lasting impression on the fortunate noses....exoticscents@youtube

What a scent. The florals are so rich and opulent, the jasmine with ylang-ylang, the uplifting freshness coming through the spices, sweet and complex musky powdery woods, this fragrance has a lot of depth, overall, really high quality, and a divine scent. Just only wish it lasted longer on the skin, nevertheless, this is a must-try from ASQ, almost like their flagship release, this feels more fruity and sweet with more florals, compared to the ambery more oriental Safari Extreme. I really love this and just wear it personally from time to time to be in that state of bliss. 9/10

A somewhat Westernized attar due it's inclusion of white Oud vs aged dark, and of some fruitiness/sweetness and tea notes, as well. Very high sillage and longevity, and consistently garners compliments everywhere, incl work, social events, nights out. Bottle came with a mini-me keychain lookalike (to the large bottle) that holds about 1 ml, just in case you are in danger of running out. Awesome.

The scent is simply elegant, with rich and opulent florals balanced by uplifting freshness of spices and musky powdery woods. It has a lot of depth and complexity, making it a high-quality fragrance that exudes class. Packaged in a heavy bottle, it is a must-try from ASQ. It's a personal favourite of mine and I often wear it to experience a state of pure bliss.

I bought it when there was 50% discount sale. OMG this perfume oil is out of the world. Opening is sweet, its unisex and the vanilla, jasmine plays main role here. I paid around 85USD for the 12ml perfume and its really worth it. The presentation is also above all expectation same as the perfume.

There is another side to beauty uncovered by Abdul Samad Al Qurashi through the Safari Blend: it’s arrangement of agarwood spices and wild flowers, lifted by the dry wild nectars of tea leaves and Musk towards the white wood, adding enlightenment and refinement.

One of the best if not the best soft vanillas you will ever smell MASTERPIECE I’m so happy to have this piece in my collection MOST GORGEOUS SMELL EVER

Among the most beautiful florals I have ever tried. A masterpiece! More feminine than unisex.

One of the best from ASAQ! Very long lasting massive sillage

A sterile fragrance reminiscent of a synthetic surface cleaner detergent. I think it's because of the wild flowers. These notes are somewhat reminiscent of tones of pine and pinecone. It also smells a bit like old tree resin. The first thing that hit my face was an intense honey-like sugary scent. The fragrance generally continues in one tone. As time passes, only the dominant tones begin to fade. I don't understand why the name is safari. Because it looks more like a town full of rainy pine trees. Moreover, unlike safari, it is not like the smell of summer. Stuff the wild flowers in a honey and mix add some resin. Rub the resulting mixture on a pine cone and smell it. There will probably be an odor similar to this one. It stays on fabric for more than 10 hours. It stays on the skin for up to 6 hours. The projection is felt from 3 meters. If you leave a room, the smell will be behind you. Longevity: 9/10 Projection: 8/10 Sillage: 8/10 Fragrance Quality: 8/10

Wow, this blend is AMAZING!! Complex, Creamy,intense,warm...Pure Luxury! Very long Lasting and sillage HUGE! It's UNISEX, but for my taste it's a little bit more on the feminine side (of course this is subjective),but i wear it (i'm a man). I can't detect any oud, but...you can layer this scent with an oudy scent. I've another al qurashi Oil called "fragrant oud"( not listed in fragrantica), i've tried to mix safari with this oil ... the result is Amazing! High quality and gorgeous presentation! Really really nice... Every time i wear it i be complimented. EDIT: !!!WARNING!!!Addictive scent!!!! . As i said, i was a little bit worried, i usually don't wear this kind of floral scents, i like more woody-incense-Aoud-dark scents but with safari...i just can't resist. oh my god this oil is like a drug...amazing...amazing...amazing...!!!!I Scent: 9/10 Longevity: 7,5/10 Sillage: 7,5/10 ------------------ Overall: 8/10

This is a yellow floral, honey, and vanilla fragrance. It exudes sweetness, cleanliness and class. You can clearly smell the pine/seaweed notes upon the opening because it is distinct and strange in a way, then it quickly transforms into the scent that it is known for. Although evidently popular and called by some as "the greatest attar" this is a decent fragrance at best, leans feminine and performance is as you'd expect from an oil, which is that it lasts for ages and doesn't project as much as sprays. *Side note: it is CRAZY (about 75% at least) similar to a cheap perfume oil called Delicate from Al Haramain, anyone who has smelled both will know. Notes: Yellow Florals - Honey - Vanilla - Pine Scent: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10 Projection: 4/10

10/10 OPULENCE in a bottle! Ensemble of florals with the most beautiful nectar-like vanilla base, it also has a clean non-smoky incense facet which I guess comes from the olibanum. This blend is right up there with the cream of the crop niche juices. Price no object, I'd take this over most of the super expensive floral perfumes. This is incredibly unisex with super expensive smelling sillage and eternal longevity. Oh. and the cut-glass bottle looks like a gem! P.S. The vanilla base is not spicy nor powdery variety, smells insanely gorgeous.

You will love it if you are into florals. Can be worn in summer. Beuatiful scent both this and sagari extreme but if you are looking for more of a masculine scent then try out khashab al oud by the same house.great gift for male or female. Packaging box and bottle 10/10 - scent 8.7 for me. Could be a 9 if you love florals.

Luxurious whiffs of ylang-ylang, jasmine and caramel which, however, sit close to the skin after 30 minutes. Enjoyable, unisex, all-weather (though overpriced). I came very close to blending this with yellow florals, white musk, and some drops of cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla and chocolate oils.

Beautiful arabic perfume, suitable for european taste. Sweet, warm, luxury
