Al Shomoukh

Just to highlight that the info on the explanation might be wrong, because it is written for asrar..below is the excerpt taken from zahra's perfume Al Shomukh is a blend of silver oudh, vetiver, musk Abyadh, rose Taifi and davana. Absolutely incredible!! The oud used in this fragrance is a smooth, very animalic one. Silver Oudh, Vetiver, Musk Abyadh, Rose Taifi and Davana. Wearable for men and women, although to me it seems to tend even a bit more on the masculine side. After the deep, animalic top and heart, it dries down to a very dry base of hay notes and vetiver. Never smelled another fragrance that starts animalic before turning to a smooth, green-sepia base! A very unusual combination of amber and herbacious notes. Like the other attars, its price may be quite high, but worth every single cent: one single drop is enough and lasts for hours and hours

Shomoukh by Amouage is an oriental, woody, floral fragrance oil. The essence of oriental scents. Gulf celebrations. The smoke of oud wood. The color is royal and natural. Golden amber liquid. Dense silver with a smoky presence. Its character is imperial. Luxurious and majestic by nature. It is oriental from start to finish, with a floral opening featuring davana’s dry, fruity notes, alongside a clear presence of animalic notes. There is also a prominent scent of Taif rose, sharp with honey and tea undertones, with the luxurious and animalic scent of Indian oud, refined and woody. The fragrance evolves with oriental, smoky, incense-like notes, leading to a woody, earthy base of vetiver and clean white musk.

A green oud fragrance. An elegant, rich green wood. Like a new branch stripped from a tree. An olfactory portrait. A beautifully executed animalic oud/vetiver pairing in top notes enveloped in a pale pale pink (almost white) Taifi rose and a rich slightly dirty musk. As the oud settles down the musk is stronger and it becomes more unisex and more of a perfume. On the masculine side with such a distinct accord and so memorable I keep wearing it. Plus it develops into a beautifully airy woody musk. A great attar.

oh man this is the weirdest amouage i've ever smelt. the barnyard oud is right in the foreground in this, but it's alongside a really REALLY odd component (or list of components). there's like a leathery, curried vinegar sorta smell riding shotgun with the oud. the rose/floral notes are muted in the background, but by and large this one is hard to take. my first reaction was 'NO WAY!!!' but it may calm down somewhat. let's see... it might be the accord struck between the oud-vetiver-rose. BOY is it odd...

I purchased this oil a bit 'skeptical, I love the musky but the oud makes me' a little 'fear especially when it is' the dominant note, but that 's not the case, the oud and' very present but does not prevail on the flowering which is expressed as a caress, this' a perfume-loving patience, more 'time passes and better' fragranza.Un the scent to be used with respect.

I would like a 1ml of this,please,perfume lovers!I can swap you with 1ml Homage or Tribute,let me know!
