Aseel Special Edition

When I first tried this, I gave it an "OK" and thought it didn't perform or deserved the beastmode rating most talk about. In reality, it does make the wearer go noseblinding to a certain extent (I've worn this several times over the last year and a half). I remember thinking it was pretty tame and sprayed about 8 times once. I sprayed my chest and the front of my neck. I couldn't smell ANYTHING within 30 minutes and had a pounding headache. I wasn't into fruity sweeter scents and thought this was fem leaning for a male release. Well I've done a 360 on this one. I love this stuff. I do still have a certain amount of nose blindness but spray away from my face and it's way more enjoyable. I think it has moderate projection but is a sillage monster. It lasts 8-12 hours with great sillage throughout. I agree that I wouldn't wear this during the day in the summer heat, but I would most definitely wear this to dinner after the sun goes down. I returned my first bottle and had a big decant to enjoy. It feels light and airy from whatever they used for the "ozonic notes" but also has a sweet syrup-like scent. At the same time, it never goes too sweet, and for a sweet fragrance it doesn't smell one bit synthetic. I mostly pick up Mullbery/blackberry, vanilla, and caramel, accompanied by ambergris (ambroxian?) and the Ozonic notes (saffron?). I own a 200ml of Sultani and now this bottle. I recently sampled Bullet. It wasn't what I was looking for, but I couldn't deny that it was very well blended and smelled great for a fairly simple profile. Now that Jomashop stocks this brand in the US its a no brainer to try some of their offers. This ones a Banger Overall, this is a 9/10 for me. Datenight, summer night, going out year round. It may be a little much for everyday wear but I wouldn't put it on a predistool as others do. Edit: And again, accidentally sprayed behind the ear as the sprayer was tilted. Arabian Oud sprayers are water hoses. Half a headache and going nose blind. Just a reminder, try not to spray close to your nose. Amazing scent but stay away from your face. Back of the neck/shirt and MAYBE forearms approved. Anything else is uncivilized.

Smells really nice, it didn’t get a lot of those notes. Like for example the ozonic notes I didn’t get at all. It was more syrupy sweet with a rose rather than a ozonic sweet fragrance. Nevertheless, it’s a very good. I actually sprayed this on for a late night walmart run. Did around 4-5 sprays, and I was stopped by a Walmart worker as I passed them in the aisle. So there’s definitely some people that like this scent. To be honest when I first got it , I didn’t like it at all. I thought it had a small and I mean a very small similar to holiday by Mancera. But this one smelled a lot better of course but I just felt a hint from that fragrance. Mine was also a batch that was from July of this year, now I didn’t usually fully see a difference of macerating but this fragrance is where I fully understood the maceration is a very real thing on these middle eastern fragrances. It smells so different to when I first got it, and now it smells so much better then when I first got it. When I first got it was so pungent and in your face. Now it’s become a lot more better refined smelling and you can actually smells some of the notes listed (caramel, rose, orange blossom) It’s a lovely scent but I wouldn’t say it’s blind buy. This could be very nauseating or sickeningly sweet. 8/10 for me tho definitely one of the only ones I’ve really enjoyed from the house of Arabian oud. 10/10 for projection and sillage. I’m telling you guys don’t overspray as this stuff is so potent. And I love the fact it’s a 110 ml bottle. Be easy on the sprayer you don’t want to overspray this.

Initial Impressions: This is an exceptional fragrance that immediately makes a statement. While it carries the DNA of Middle Eastern perfumery in terms of projection and longevity, it doesn’t rely on oud as the centerpiece. Instead, it offers a luxurious blend of vanilla, rose, and caramel, supported by earthy patchouli and warm ambergris. This is a gourmand-leaning fragrance, but it’s refined—not cloying. It evokes a sense of royalty, tranquility, and calm. Performance: - Projection: Beast mode for the first few hours—people will notice you. - Longevity: Easily 12+ hours on skin, even longer on clothes. - Sillage: Strong but not offensive if applied with restraint. Compliment Factor: This one gets noticed. It’s a compliment magnet, especially in cooler weather or evening settings. Just don’t overspray—it’s potent. Final Thoughts: Arabian Oud Aseel Special Edition is a masterpiece for those who love sweet, luxurious scents with serious performance. It’s not your typical oud bomb—it’s more about elegance and presence. If you enjoy fragrances that leave a trail and make an impression, this is a must-try. Would I recommend it?* Absolutely—especially if you’re into **sweet orientals** with a Middle Eastern twist. Just be mindful of the spray count!

First impressions, damn this is good. The ozonic quality of this scent is amazing. It’s feels light and airy but also substantial as it creates a cloud around you. First reaction was this is way to sweet and feminine leaning but as I wear it my thoughts are changing. With all the diabetes scent profiles from designer brands and elixirs that go for $150-180 for 100ml I think I’d chose this and smell a little different. This is unisex for sure. I will be back after a few full wearings and update. I struck out with the first few scents I sampled from this house but Aseel SE and Resala are top tier. Edit: After wearing this twice Im sad to say I go anosmic to it slowly after a few hours. I get faint wafts but that's it. Something about this house, this is about the 4th or 5th that I have gone anosmic to. If I cant smell what Im wearing (because I wear fragrances for myself) then it defeats the purpose. I would say make sure you sample first. Smells amazing if you can pick it up.

I smelled this at an Arabian Oud store in the mall one day and it stayed on my mind for a week. I went back and put it in skin and my first impression with two sprays is this thing really berry rose and caramel. This is definitely a unisex fragrance. Yesterday I went to the mall and made to mistake of walking by the Arabian oud store and they finally had it back in stock on a 30% off deal and that’s the only time I by Arabian oud and walked out with this beauty. This is a heavy fragrance but like everyone else says it’s airy. It last all day. I’ve found with 3 sprays and those three sprays are like spraying a glade can bc so much comes out. I was projecting nicely but the silage with this is crazy. This is 12hrs plus and I would wear it in the summer but literally 1 spray. Glad I bought this one Update: This stuff is crazy room filling first 2hrs. I’ve effectively choked out 3 people with 3-4 sprays on two occasions. 1-3 sprays will suffice for most occasions
