Mirsaal of Trust

Strange, I don’t know what to make of it. This to me smells like brand new leather dress shoes or something. For example, imagine a shoe repair shop, and all you smell is leather and shoe polish chemicals. The scent has a tinge of sweetness I think that’s coming from the raspberries and you have to sink your nose to catch the notes as I did on a blotter card. I know there's no oud listed but I can smell synthetic Oud like the smell in this fragrance. This kind of smells like Mancera’s Aoud line or at least reminds me of it. They have similar note breaks down. Also, 90% smells like TF Tuscan leather. To me, Tuscan leather smells much smoother. However bottom line it’s a clone of a clone this also smells like La Yuqawam By Rasasi impersonating Tuscan leather this is why it’s confusing me *** September *** update I actually love this Fragrance when I wrote this review it was when I first got it and it was during the summer time (early July) which was a terrible time to test this fragrance out however the weather is much more cooler now and this stuff is actually a love for me now it doesn’t smell like shoe polish it’s like 97% of Tuscan leather by TF and the raspberry base in this keeps everything in check and balanced with the saffron. The leather is good and not prominent definitely smoky type leather smell but it’s very good. This is definitely a fall / winter time fragrance don’t wear this is the summer or heat that’s when it’s smells cloying and harsh. This fragrance is not for a newbie into the fragrance world. You definitely you need a trained nose to actually immerse and feel this clone creation done wonderfully.

This edp delivers a balanced and elegant olfactory experience, blending fresh, warm, and woody tones seamlessly. Its composition opens with earthy and green vetiver, complemented by a modern, synthetic yet luxurious ambrofix accord. This vibrant introduction sets a sophisticated tone, perfect for those who enjoy a refined freshness. As it evolves, the heart introduces a surprising duo of saffron and raspberry. The saffron brings a spicy, leathery richness, while the raspberry adds a subtle sweetness, creating a nuanced and captivating middle phase. This layer feels smooth and slightly opulent, making it stand out from more traditional woody or spicy fragrances. The base is where the perfume shines with longevity, featuring dry amber that provides warmth, carnation for a faint floral twist, and cashmere wood, which adds a creamy, soft woody finish. This phase feels comforting and elegant, making it an excellent choice for cooler evenings or formal settings. The performance is commendable, with moderate sillage that doesn’t overwhelm and a lasting presence that holds throughout the day. The fragrance showcases a distinct character, while sharing the modern DNA found in many niche woody-spicy fragrances, making it versatile yet unique. If you're drawn to scents that balance complexity with wearability, this is a fantastic choice. A great blended parfum from the house of Afnan

Wow, what an incredible fragrance. Opens with a very crisp new leather smell, like a fresh black leather jacket or the interior of a luxury sports car. If you've ever tested Ombre Leather you know what I mean. After the initial notes settle in, the leather takes on this dusky, soft, and dark quality as the raspberry starts to make itself known. Throughout the drydown, the raspberry starts to mingle with some of the heavier aromas which reminded me of cacao and coffee. An absolutely phenomenal fragrance and a testament to the art of perfumery. Performance was excellent, sprayed a bit on my wrist in the evening and could still faintly smell it the next morning. I blind-bought for $40 CAD and couldn't be happier. It's a fantastic blend and smells way higher quality than the price suggests. The presentation is very tasteful as well.

I've got a fairly recent batch (February 2025) and it still smells and performs very good. It's got this very classy and clean leathery feel to it with just the right amount of sweetness and some spices and earthiness in the background. The raspberry is not overly sweet and not as prominent as in some other similar fragrances, which makes Mirsaal of Trust even better imo. Longevity is a good 8-10 hours with very decent projection, but it's not an obnoxious room-filling beast (Thank God). These days you can find it online for 25-30 Euros, which makes this an excellent deal if you like this scent profile for Fall and Winter. You might get away with it on a cool Spring night as well. For the price? Easily a 9.5/10 !

Basically if you know Tuscan leather and all the clones that followed you know this. Only thing is the raspberry is toned down in sweetness, the leather is turned up. The biggest difference is price and the absolute nuclear strength of this one. WTF!? This blows TL and all its clones out of the water in that department. If you love TL hurry and get this one now before it's toned down. There are beast mode fragrances and then there is this, Chernobyl mode. The bottle and the box it comes in is top notch. The bottle is actually beautiful. All this for $35, I'm totally impressed.
