Amiri

In a nutshell, it smells like an amalgamation of Dunhill Icon (OG) and Cartier Declaration Essence, two of my all time favourite cardamom scents! Strangely there is no cardamom listed..... This is a gentleman's scent, suave, debonair, luscious smelling, one of the best releases from the House of Arabian Oud. Amiri cannot be construed to be a fresh scent simply, it is much more complex than that. An evolving fragrance which starts off with a fresh burst of pink pepper, tangerine and bergamot and slowly meshes into the woody and patchouli notes. Most of the AO releases have musk and vanilla in the drydown and this one is no different. This a thick oily scent which sticks close the skin, but is a progressive journey of olfactory notes throughout. My only gripe is that, three of AO releases have more or less the same drydown, Al Fareed, Diwan and Amiri, makes you wonder why..... All seasonal scent? for sure, for sure, works in any weather and any time of the day Unisex? Completely masculine IMO Blind buy worthy? If you like Dunhill Icon and Cartier Declaration, hell yeah! Performance? Longevity is easily 7 to 8 hours on skin, with moderate projection Price? Steeply priced at around USD 170, be sure to get it in the 45 - 50% sale, which occurs like four times an year, which is what I usually do :) A very heavy bottle, can be used as a weapon later on! The packaging and box would make it an ideal gift also. If Arabian Oud are to start releasing testers, the price would fall by half !

I've had this for over two years now, along with Al Fareed and Sultani (or the better part of two years for the latter.) There are similarities between the three, particularly the use of pink pepper, bergamot, and a variation of a few other notes, but they typically differ in their late stages. Al Fareed has a noticeable ambergris note whereas Sultani turns into a dry sandalwood prominent base and Amiri a creamy amber. All three are distinguished, classy scents though I would say Amiri may be the most versatile. While the review below notes Sultani is a light floral rose and oud (it's not, it's sandalwood) fragrance, I'd point out that it, too, has bergamot, pink pepper, and tangerine in the top notes. Nevertheless, despite the similarities at the start, they do go on very different journeys.

Amiri is a Middle Eastern take on Freshie. This Fragrance is truly a masterpiece. It smells regal. The bottle and the package weights around 5 KG. This is a heavy bottle. Magnetic top. Everything about this fragrance from the bottle to the packaging to the smell is absolute Royal. Beware dont drop this bottle on your foot. You would end up with a fracture. Silage on this is enormous. Room filling but not in your face. When you spray this everyone around you would smell you. Its silage and projection is so sophisticated. Joy Amin reviewed this and i totally agréé with him . This is created for Prince.

This exudes mature alpha male. A fantastic opening, smells rich and confident and bright. Projects well. Hours 2 to 6 it fades to a lovely smooth masculine musk, with some citric brightness and spiciness in the background. Still wafts well at this stage. Then fades to a skin scent for a few more hours. It's beautifully made, but there's something familiar about it... It's a kind of a cross between sauvage and tygar, but smoother and classier than that sounds. I bought a bottle after wearing it a few times. Genuinely love it.

The best citrus frag I ever smelled. Shame it does not last long or project heavily like the rest of Arabian Oud bottles. It's sweet creamy and very well balanced. It has a bit of chocolate pudding vibe to it from patchouli. Creamy powdery sandalwood, white musk, and great sweet amber elevates it beautifully. It leans masculine but I think middle age ladies can rock this easily. Also it has a great pressurized atomizer. Year-round, date night, office safe scent. I would say it smells super high quality perfection.

Sorry guys Nothing in this fragrance reminds me of blue Chanel or any other blue bottled fragrance on earth. This is very regal scent, remind me a lot of Amouage jubilation without the incense note & replaced berries with tangerines. This is my real interpretation as I have both, but my gut tells me that, it is inspired by dunhil icon based on the metal cap shape. (Never tried icon) This is solid 8/10 , the only downside is the excessive packaging, wish it had more juice rather than the heavy packaging.

So let me Start by saying it's very underrated as all the fragrances from Arabian oud! I've never seen a scent that is done this smoothly! longevity is 8-10 hours, projection is not very loud on this one but within an arm, don't you worry you'll be noticed by people If you want the most simplistic complex fragrance(you'll understand this once you try it;) that works for day and night also for all seasons, You need to give this one a try And by the way it's a great compliment getter!

This is my first review and I had to do it because this fragrance deserves it. I'm no fragrance connoisseur and I won't be able to talk about the fancy notes. I can only tell how this feels to me and that's "Rich". You put this on and you'll fell like a Million bucks, no pun intended and no this doesn't smell like BDC or Sauvage or anything that I've come across. This one gets you noticed in the good way, with amazing silage and performance. Worth a blind buy IMO.

@BAYEZID61....did you give it a chance to macerate? I have several arabian oud frags. As high quality as they are, they are sometimes night and day from first spray and several weeks of maceration. I was not that impressed with thie one when I first tried either. But after trying it after 1 mo. Then 3 mo. and roughly 6 mo after, it is one of my go to scents now. But there could be reformulation as a culprit too. My bottle is from 2024.

I agree with the reviewer below me, this smells NOTHING like Mefisto lol. It does smell like something I've smelled before, but I can't quite figure out what. What I do know is this smells really good. Actually, it does remind me of a cross between LNDL and the new Barcelona by City Rhythm. Not a bad combo at all, this is pretty good. But the longevity does not seem to be there, which is unfortunately is what others have said.

This is by far the BEST fresh/elegant fragrance in my entire colection. It is truly STUNNING, it's like L immensite by LV but like in a NICHE STYLED version. It's has a lot of body, a lot character. this a SAFE BLIND BUY, there is no way you go wrong with this MASTERPIECE. Very pleased by the price and premium packaging. This bottle literally weighs 2 kilos with a super premium feeling. TOTALLY in LOVE.

Just got this a few days ago and it has a lovely scent but I must agree that it is very close to the skin. Not a great performer. Presentation and quality of the juice are top notch. 11/30 - Update: Have been getting a bit of Dior Sauvage Elixir vibes due to the nutmeg. Loving this scent and longevity has improved. Projection still moderate at best but at arms length people will smell you.

How can people say this underperforms! This is one of the best performing fragrances in my 150+ collection. Spray it on in the morning and on a summer day this lasts till well into the evening. It just gets better and better. One of my top three fragrances. But I'd like a little less heavy bottle, please. It's such a hassle to bring on holidays :-)

This cedar and nutmeg combination rocks. This reminds me of Clive Christian 150th Anniversary Contemporary because of that cedar and nutmeg combination. Amiri is what that fragrance wishes it was. Amiri is more complex with a fresh kick of citrus at the top. This fragrance is immaculate, very strong and masculine with an aromatic freshness.

Citrusy and fresh blast of cardamom. Poor performace, especially for the comparatively high price point and amazing packaging -- full metal, magnetic cap, great atomizer and all that. (Dont use lotioned hands to pick up the perfume, it might slip and fall off lmao) Update : it lasts an eternity now, I take all that back.

This is the best fragrance that I own. It is not a regular wear fragrance. Would not recommend wearing this during the heat. Suitable for special occasions. Apply after the sun goes down for better projection. I recommend everyone to give this a try. You will not regret it, trust me. A masterpiece from Arabian Oud

Luxury at its best, very well blended fragrance and one of the smoothest nicest i ever came across. Performancewise its above average for sure and a superb daily driver for office or regular days. Gatekeeper? Yep! For those seeking a stinky beast, keep searching, strong performers often lacks of the nice smell.

This is a really well-rounded fragrance! Amiri starts off bright and citrusy with the tangerine and bergamot, then mellows into this warm, spicy amber and vanilla scent. The sandalwood adds a touch of creaminess, and it lasts all day on my skin. I get compliments on it all the time!

I felt the opening almost smelled like penhaligon's blennom boutique. That might be the tangerine, pink pepper, patchouli. Definitely a masculine but very smooth, well-blended fragrence. I blind bought this and it's a keeper. I cant stop smelling this. Very nice and worth the wait.

I really don’t want to overcomplicate this, so I’m just going to hipfire. The first thing I thought of what I sprayed it was “oh, a citrus version of Tom ford oud wood” - that might help give you the vibe. Most fragrances I buy these days are catch and release. This is a keeper.
