Black Oudh

This is an overcast day in old growth rainforest, distilled and bottled. Damp wood and leaves, that decay that makes rainforests smell so damn good, that you hunger for it, if you have been absent a long time. The dry down has a violet element that makes me think of twilight in the deep scrub. Spooky-beautiful. The initial projecion is decent but it fades out quickly and the longevity is underwhelming for an oil based scent. It's so beautiful though, it can be forgiven these issues.

Close to Al-Rehab's Sultan Al Oud but without the flowers. This is woodier, spicier and more enchanting. That cedar is deep. Ideal for the night at any time of year. Actually, it's really not too far away from Black Afgano! Update April 2019: Having worn this more and more, it's a fragrance definitely possessing it's own personality. The cedar is so strong and woody that it envelopes me inside my own olfactory bubble. It's very rich and deep.

The mix of balsamic and hashish accord lead you into the unmistakable black afgano territory. The vibe is intense and sensual. This scent is so captivating, my senses are completely sold. Layerinng it with Privezarah blend afgano enhances projection and duration, considerably. The two are made for layering one with the other. This is a niche scent, no doubt. How lovely.

A more "polite" and "gentle" version of Black Afghano, with a touch of some added sweetness, I'm sure it'd be great for layering. Perfect for autumn and winter, but I wouldn't mind wearing it during the spring and autumn (nights).

It's more masculine than unisex, but layers like wonder with florals. Like a luxury fragrance, but very cheap. This one is a real oud/arab, not an east-meets-west kind of one.
