Bahjah

I can smell realistic lime peel here. not the fresh lime, it’s the peel. And there is a hint of sweetness come from frankincense. Frankincense has that green resinous smell with the right amount of sweetness. When it dries, lime peel smell goes back and give away to the woody notes, lime peel smell still there, but in the background. Woody note feel bit synthetic. Bahjah lean towards oriental. I don’t smell oak moss even though it’s listed. It’s very well blended and balance perfume. This is one of the rare Amouage that performance is not so great. It last around 6 to 7 hours, but projection is close to skin. It’s a office friendly attar, not the kind of heavy middle eastern type attar. If the performance is good then it could have been my one of favourites, I still like it a lot because of the unique and beautiful smell. Bahjah is my second favourite Amouage attar after Musk Abyadh.

Gorgeous modern perfume oil from Amouage whose name translates to joy and what a joyful Oriental this is. The perfume opens with a note of beautiful lime and moves to a heart of fragrant vetiver before settling into a dense woody musky base that is composed of cedar, olibanum and musk. The masculine leaning perfume is bright and has moderate to strong sillage and projection and very good longevity. Euphoric modern masculine Oriental beauty. Enjoy!

I liked this originally. Its pungent, and very much the scent of deer antlers. It maybe an aphrodiasic love potion...But I will take a pass on this one. Not a favorite. The only two attars by Amouage that lost my attention would be Bahjah and Tayyiba. Tayyiba is ok for evening but not a must have. Bahjah I do not feel the love :l

i've really changed my tune on this one, really i have. at first i was a little 'meh.' about it, and then after a few tries i'm a fully-fledged convert. it is UTTERLY majestic. i love this one and it is REEAAALLLYYY smooth. it works on so many levels. i don't know if there is a particular quality that makes something 'oriental' or 'western' or even 'middle eastern', but this one straddles all three of these categories. it's deep and rich (middle eastern), it's sweet and airy (western) and exotic and peculiar (oriental). i'm going to be in a few gulf states in the next few months and so i'm gonna try and hunt this one down. it is utterly spectacular...

this one is niiice. doesn't carry that standard amouage signature brutal punch of smell, but it's quite nice. the lime adds a different dimension that makes it very delicate, and then the woodsiness and incense carries it. a masterful marriage of citrus, resin and woods. love IT!!!
