Onyx Pearl

This smells like glossy comic book paper, or trading card hard plastic encasings. I keep thinking about GL Kyle Rayner when I smell this. I reserve this for the windy nights of contemplation. In essence, I really like the quality of notes used and the way they stack is 👌- I think when I empty the bottle that I'd need to replace it with another OP because is there another that's truly superior in what this is conveying??

A very vivid and daring fragrance! Cedar, leather and musc give one a cool sensation. But one doesn’t perceive it as to chilly since the decent floral notes and amber soften that impression. Due to the touch of agarwood the scent becomes full and rich. It seems as if behind the cool top the scent has a warm heart. A very interesting scent with charismatic character for a person with corresponding personality.

Alfarom has given a review with which I agree 110%. Scent: 8/10 Longevity: 10/10 Sillage: 8/10 Cost ratio: 4/10 Overall: 7.5/10 I'm torn because I could have liked this fragrance yet something is missing. Oh well...

Wow!!! The only perfume I keep stocked in the closet. Oriental, mysterious and sensual I’m in love❤️

The opening few seconds (actually make that 30 mins or more) was a massive rush up my nose of migraine inducing laundry musk - I seriously thought this was going to bring on a massive headache! The opening reminded me so much of when I was very young and I and my friend would wait for her older sister to go out so we could rush upstairs to raid her make-up drawer and liberally douse ourselves in her White Musk perfume feeling all 'grown up'! But wait - after around 30-60 mins I suddenly smelt a gorgeous oud-based floral drift past my nose - very similar to something that Al Rehab would have on sale and at this point I was thinking that this is very much like an Arabian attar in that it grows in stature over time. I wallowed in this delightful fragrance for around an hour and then asked my son what he thought of it - he said it was wonderful but couldn't smell it unless he put his nose to my wrist; which was odd to me as I could smell the projection quite strongly and I was at that point thinking some here had lost their olfactory senses! Clearly my nose was picking up the oud and floral notes (more along a rose than a mixed floral) far more than others here and my son as well. Drying down, gradually the patchouli came pushing through and alongside the oud reminded me of the early 70's - when I would buy a 'Red bus Rover' and set off for Carnaby Street on a Saturday for a look around - it just smelt so much like all those little boutiques did back then - heady, achingly heady, to be honest. I detected a little suede in the background and some sandalwood (soap?) but nothing much else. The further down it went the more I began to smell patchouli and sandalwood (soap?) and nothing else. 10 hours later it is still there - not projecting - but merely sitting on my skin and still the same. I can't say I would pay so much money, even for the cheaper flacon, as for me this perfume went no-where but a quick trip down memory lane which was a dead-end street! I think that even if one loved patchouli and sandalwood (soap) there are far better and far cheaper compositions out there. Even for the fleeting moment of wonderfulness I could just dab a little of Al Rehab's Taif on my wrists. I'm just going to add that I did only spray a tiny amount on my wrists so using a larger amount might just have a different effect - although I'm quite thankful that I only sprayed a little and avoided the migraine-effect! I've never, ever, had to resort to scrubbing a perfume off my skin but I came quite close this time - so I dabbed over a little of Fifi Cachenil on top to neutralise the scent as I was getting a little 'annoyed' with it - and do you know that within 30 mins the damn thing had overpowered my little Fifi !!!!!
