Oud & Roses

As happens quite frequently, the note breakdown here is incorrect. Top notes include lemon, lavender, peony, and turkish rose. Mid notes include frankincense, sandalwood, and white florals. Base notes include oud, amber, gaiac wood and oakmoss. I believe there could be rose in the top and mid notes as you do get two different "flavors" of rose when wearing this. On first spray, you get a super clean combo of lavender, peony, rose and citrus. It's surprisingly fresh and the opening is addictive. The frankincense and sandalwood help keep the woods and oud in the mid and base smelling clean, and maybe somewhat dry, but in a pleasant way. The oud in this is detectable, but thanks to the mid notes, never comes off as funky or animalic. As the mid approaches, the rose in this becomes jammy and slightly sweet, but still kept somewhat fresh by the white florals which are barely detectable at all. So long as your sprays are controlled, I would argue this stays fresh enough to use all year round. The only time I would be weary of using this would be in the highest of heats. Don't wear this in a hot warehouse or security guard shack or some other small yet hot enclosure if you're going to be around people. They may die. But, if you're going to be in an air conditioned environment, I say go for it, use it all year. It probably doesn't need to be said that this thing is strong and lasts forever. I can smell the base notes on my skin the next day when I wear this. This has gotten me compliments and is fairly mass appealing as far as oud fragrances go. If you're a beginner in the oud world, or if you don't like your ouds super funky or animalic, this is definitely the pick for you.

yes this is a rose and oud scent but there is so much more depth and it leans more masculine only a few desginer or niche frags i have smelled that are rose based can smell masculime,i got some pure rose and oud oil from dubai and i layer it with this and i get complients all day, this could be someones signature scent it is good all year round and is perfect in the day or office and perfect going out this is one of those rare instances that check marks all the boxes,im not saying it semlls like it at all cos it deff dont but dior sauvage (make sure its the edp) its great year round morning night ect ect HERE ARE THE PROPER NOTES BTW top notes: Floral (Turkish rose, lavender, lemon, peony) heart notes: Sweet (sandalwood, white flowers, frankincense) base notes: Musky( agarwood, guaiac wood, oak moss, Musk, amber) ^ those notes were taken directly from the ahmed al maghribi website, but those notes dont even do it justice it i could sit here and for 20 minute about it but no one wants to read that, trust me this is banger for sure and you will love it no barnyard oudy smell, though i got their sample packs off amazon(crazy good deal like 50 of their samples for like 35) whatever collection u wanna pick and ooouiweeee some of the really hard to pronounce and are really dark scents are VERY barnyard so if your not experienced with that just give them to someone you dont like lol

This stuff is ridiculously good. You can come straight out of the box with this, but I can already get a sense of what maturation will do to this scent. The opening is a blast of fresh roses. Admittedly, it will open extremely femme; like your Bohemian crush that plays with tarot cards yet her family has majority stake in a corporate tower conglomerate. Once that fades, the more unisex floral begins to bloom into this clean, rich, deep and thick rose scent. Imagine someone perfectly extracting rose oil from the plumpest rose and this is what you'd get. It is a pure floral scent with a faint trace of ambroxin, but the oud literally does not exist at all. Maybe it's adding some unknown edge to balance the Turkish rose but if you're looking for that oud, woody musk -- you wont find it here. If you're a man that can own clean rose, I highly recommend this frag. It projects crazy (4 sprays; two neck pulse points, one chest, one on hand to rub on clothing) and keeps me coming back for sneaky sniffs. I plan on stacking this with Amber Noir or Ombre Leather to extract the woodiness that I believe this scent deserves. 10/10

so sultry and mysterious. plays on somewhat masculine fragrance profile to make something so darkly, dare i say carnally, feminine. it is almost like a perfect yin yang; the masculinity in the perfume's structure brings out so much feminine sexiness. i have never not been complimented while wearing this and that is no exaggeration; it exudes such confidence. i would also venture that this smells slightly different on everyone, as when my mom wore this, it took me a while to even register that it was oud and roses. for the price point the sillage and longevity is incredible. this perfume has high signature scent potential, but is definitely a safe nighttime reach. as for season, it worked on me in 50+ degree celsius middle eastern temperatures, but can get heady, so hold off on the overspraying. ahmad al maghribi is quite hard to find outside of the GCC so if you live elsewhere and acquire this somehow, you are sure to make a statement. my husband also loves this one on me, if that helps >:).

Edit: Dident think this would change after first opening it and just getting Mostly rose but it did It gets more earthy and a bit more Woody in the base and the top has more lime sweetness, i did not like it that much at the start and i felt like i was missing why some give it so much praise Now i kind off get it, you need to really love rose to understand this. The oud also grows and i think this will just get better with time and mature with grace it changes depending on ph and temperature so it needs to be tested more then once to understand it, i get how it can have so mixed reviews cause its a truly niche quality at bargain price and iff your used to more basic offerings and clones at the same price range this will come off as a strange beast made off fleshy rose dripping in oil
