Kashaf

This one starts with barnyard smell but don't panic. After some minutes it becomes very nice with blackcurrant and rose taking over. Warm and thick oriental scent for the colder days. High quality for cheap.

its a sticky thick medicinal oud, i do not get allot of rose accord but more raspberry, during the dry down raspberry like syrupy scent and the medicinal oud becomes more prevalent. what is this perfume? its 3/10 on floral/fruity, 8/10 on medicinal oud - the mixture of the scent makes the oud smell floral/fruity but the sticky and resinous scent of the oud jumps out. longevity? This is a very very strong perfume, u cant get it off you within 5 to 6hrs, it will last the whole day and never give up, Paris based perfume are usually time challenged but this one is not. its a whole day frag. linear but extremely long lasting. final thoughts? this is the strongest perfume that i have that i can tolerate, Arabica perfumes at times are very strong and long lasting, but the scent is of low quality, its either too sweet or rough around the edges. this one is strong but its not annoying, mixed so that you can tolerate, unisex and blind buy safe if you have tried medicinal ouds before, woman who like floral perfume but want perfume that last long can try it out, but not for younger woman. overall score : 5/10

The opening of this is citrusy, aromatic and skanky. Not a barn, but a dirty, skanky one. In 10 minutes the pungent skank is down, and you get like dirty earthy, a medicinal aromatic and mostly "smell-like leather" sweet, citrusfresh/currant scent, that stays quite close to your skin, but lasts for several hours with you. This scent would be interesting experience for someone who wants to try a little skank, but safely.

This is interesting. It starts with a strong barnyardy oud opening, and when that passes, it reveals a powdering blackcurrant musk with a touch of saffron. And that’s it. It’s not bold enough for those who like strong oud but it’s too oudy for basic fruity-floral lovers. It leaves a faint, close skin-scent, powdery, slightly vintage vibe.

Way too sweet and boozy for my taste. The raspberry seems a bit overripe, maybe that's why it smells boozy. The oud is barely there

This is a hidden gem, an unknown beauty for a very affordable price. The opening is bright and beautiful, animalic with sweet red fruits, and grgeous rose and saffron. AFter only a few minutes the animalic notes fade away and only the fruity floral notes remain on a spicy-woody and slightly smoky base. There are more famous creations from this houes, and I can compare this to two of those: the animalic opening that lasts only a few minutes are a bit reminiscent to Mukhallat Shams' opening but in a tamed way, in a more casual quality and the spicyness reminds me of 1001 nights, again, tamed down and made more easy. But this scent stands on it own with the beautiful fruityness and the joyful spirit that it has. THis marketed as unisex and I can see a lady wearing it and I wear it myself, too, but the nature of this spicy smoky woodyness makes it leaning a bit more masculine.

A tart, sourish barnyard oud dominates this scent - the other notes barely have a chance to shine. It's messy on me, also slightly herbal. Does not work with my skin! ** Oud / oriental pack of samples up for swap UK - get in touch! **

Not barnyardy but very medicinal oud, some rose and aromatics. Longevity is 24 hours plus. It's a tour de force. Medicinal oud is not much my cup of tea. I rather prefer the barnyard type. Nonetheless acceptable for the price I paid.
