Amir Two

This is an Oud perfume that challenges the likes of Dominique Ropion al layl (The night) by Fredric Malle. I went to a Perfume event in Melbourne and I took a couple of my favourite perfumes and one lovely bloke brought in The night by Frederic malle which is very difficult to get in Australia, he was kind enough for me to spray it on my arm and I immediately was amazed by it. However, let me tell you that Amir 2 is one of those perfumes that lasts longer than the night and performs better in projection. This Perfume made by Ajmal is insanely amazing & Amir 2 is actually a Masterpiece of a perfume. Even though I have Amir 1 which is also fantastic but this is on a whole another level, it is so opulent, Dense, Heavy, Masculine, Regal and Absurdly addictive that it plays with your senses. Dont treat this perfume as your French perfumery where you apply it on a strip of paper and put your nose on it straight away, I guarantee you will not like it, this perfume demands to be treated like classic oriental middle eastern and artisanal perfumery. When you apply it on skin or clothes let it do its thing and leave it alone, you will be engulfed by the majestic fragrance. How does this smell you ask... well, Firstly if you are not use to understanding complex Oud fragrance I would advise you to go get Amir 1 instead, but if you are one of the few who would admire this masterpiece then let me tell you, that you are in for a treat ! because this perfume is heavy in its oud presence, the oud is the main player here, its the Indian oud that is there at the top but let it do its magic and after 3 - 4 hours the heart notes come in which is this leathery, Oudy, Resinous with earthy pachouli after the 6 - 8 hours the heart notes are still there but the base of the perfumes kicks in also that Oud is there through and through and you will get whiffs of musk, oud and something slight smokey like burning oud chips or a very high quality Bahkoor. This perfume is not for everyone, its for people who admire oud and its finer nuances, FYI 24 hours is nothing for this fragrance. I will get a back up bottle before they reformulate it.

Amir Two opens with a fresh–spicy spark: nutmeg, ginger, pepper, rose, and geranium are all brought together to form a lively (or incendiary) start, which is undeniably sharp. The pepper et rose combo bites for sure, but it is contemporarily softened by a certain herbal‐green geranium lift. Think of it as the start of the engine... As AT develops, the composition deepens. Amber and cypriol unfurl like warm air, sticky and resinous but not syrupy. Patchouli adds an earthy chewiness, toning down the brightness from the opening. Then the final act arrives: a phase where balsamic oud and incense make Amir Two go full throttle, and some people will inevitably get caught off guard. The oud is smooth and convincingly natural, far from what you can find in westernised interpretations. Smoky and resinous with just enough sweetness to keep things plush rather than punishing. Performance lands around 8+ hours with moderate projection, making it substantial but not anti‐social. If you're unsure, only spray under your clothes to contain your "aura". Value‐wise, Amir Two punches absurdly above its price bracket... the kind of quality‐to‐price ratio that would indeed cost triple if it was packaged in a more "mainstream" label. Rich, unashamedly oud‐forward and complex enough to wear solo: if Amir Two is “trash,” I'm ready to immolate myself in this dumpster fire.

This was a huge risky blind buy. I want to love oud, and more importantly I want my GF to like barnyardy ouds on me too. This one might the one to do it for both of us. The oud is strong and animalic in the opening. The bright spices sing alongside the opening oud too but are hard for me to distinguish between. Florals are there initially but are quick to fade. This is not a rose forward oud / floral combo by the way. The rose doesn’t stick around too much. It’s surprisingly quick to dry down on my skin and really settles into a deeply warm, woody skin scent. The cypriol and incense provides a smokiness that perfectly accompanies a “wooden drawer” effect that you’d get from the base accords. The musk is not dominant but plays a harmonising role for the woods and the oud. Regarding overall presentation, it is so wonderfully blended and regal just like it’s name suggests. This is so so so unbelievably well made. Might be one of my all time favs right here. Expensive but seriously worth it. You want your man to smell like this

This was love at first sniff. Opulent oud with a lot of spices and a floral and woody background. On my skin, a high quality dry oud with nutmeg are the most prominent notes throughout the perfume's life. The rose is sutil and the spices are a bit pungent giving a strong overall character. It's obviously a woody scent, very woody. It has a similar oud profile of Mukhallat al Shams but Amir Two is more complex. There's a lot more going on. This is not animalic at all. It's leathery, dark, bold, dry, woodsy, earthy. It's too "nice" for that tag. "Animalic" is not a property of indian oud according to my experience. Royal and powerful perfume perfect for special ocassions. Scent: 10/10 Performance: 10/10 Presentation: 10/10 Versatility: 5/10 My favourite thing about Amir One and Two is the constant movement of the ingredients in the air. They feel "alive" and everytime you wear them you can pick up a different nuance. Exquistely blended with high quality ingredients. I can't wait for a "Amir Three" or "Four".

Everything about this fragrance exudes luxury. The quality of the presentation, bottle and juice for the price (£100 on Notino) makes this an absolute no brainer. This fragrance opens up rather barnyardy but still carries the element of class and upholds its quality. (If anyone knows a fragrance that smells like the opening of this, please let me know). 10-15 minutes later it dries down and the oud loses its barnyard aspect and turns smokey, allowing you to detect more of the nutmeg and spices. Hours later when it’s fully dried down you’re left with green notes with warm smokey oud in the background. This gave me around 18 hours on skin. That’s post shower and attempting to cover it up with another strong fragrance as I didn’t intend to test it that day. However the projection isn’t anything crazy you’ll get wafts of it throughout the day after the first 2-3 hours it’s a level above a skin scent.
