Arooq Al Oud

This is a masterpiece. Perfect blend. The notes are straightforward and minimal, it's the simplistic approach of Arabia, mostly based on individual notes, or blends of only a few. The notes are the essence of Arabic perfumes: oud, rose, sandalwood and amber, the most well-known and most frequently used (maybe apart from musk). Add some musk and you have the Arabian desert in your pocket. Great performance too.What else to ask for? Wear this and feel like an Arabian prince next to your camel, Arabian dark horse, and camp-fire under the moonlight of the vast desert waiting to be filled with such magical fragrance. Quite surreal. For me, this is what Arabic perfumes are about, they make strong statements, they are bold, hit you in the nose, albeit magical and surreal, all the way without being too complex or confusing. Simplicity is divinity. For centuries, the Arabs have been using the same notes over and over again without being boring or repetitive. The mastery is in the blending. You only need to know, this is not meant to be smelt right next to your nose, you'll get a bit skanky smell that way, at least through the top notes. However, it's meant to envelop you with an aura of fantasy. Just let it linger around you. Believe me this is wonderful stuff and it's not your generic average Arabian scent, this is the real deal. Ah, and the flacon alone is a work of art and like the scent evokes Arabian fantasies.

This is a beautiful oud, and a gorgeous soft, velvety sweet pungent rose; combined with the loveliest gentle aromatic and creamy sandalwood and wonderful soft, melting amber - and you get one dream perfume!!!

I should say about this frag, first, is not for everyone, you really need to like it, to enjoy it. This precious gem is real beast turned to liquid, it is a special piece, it is more than strong, they say is a dupe of Frederic Malle the Night, it gets very deep right after one rolled on,ths frag has a different with the sandalwood, it remains in your skin more than 16hours and plus, really love this, and never wear this during daytime.

Arooq Al Oud it means (roots of oud). I have alot of oud fragrances but this one is unique, the bottle is amazing. one of the best oud I ever smelled. the opening is straight warm oud, but the drydown is better with the rose note, wood and a hint of smoky earthy smell and powdery. I think I also smelled a hint of musk. anyway the sillage and longevity are excellent on me it lasts 12+ hours. I give this 9/10

This is a perfume of my life. I had it once in 15ml bottle. It was oil. This ist strongest perfume i ever had. The beauty of it, changes in hours in a great and bigger and bigger pleasure. Is there someone who has it and could sale?
