Sands Of Time Extrait de Parfum

My second scent from the house of Azha, and it is really good. Though not blind safe at all. I would say it reminds me of Orto Parisi Cuoium if it were brighter and more lively. If the Orto Parisi smoked the skin to its last breath, this scent is slightly smoky from incense nearby while the leather is still breathing and pretty much alive. I believe this can be beautifully layered with Aventus-type fragrances for the added smokiness and depth. I've mixed it with Club de Nuit EDT, and it is INSANE. Labdanum and bergamot make the opening of CDNIM more bearable and interesting, and leather, elemi, raspberry and incense are pumping everything to the limit. This is gatekeep-worthy, but since it's coming from a relatively unknown ME house, no one will probably see this anyway, and if you do - give it a try, trust.

To keep this short and do to the point. It’s essentially a Meydan clone. Meydan is a little more intricate and powerful so this is probably around 90% similar to Meydan maybe a little more and around 85% of the sillage. That being a huge and enormous room filler maybe this is a little more versatile. Price and packaging are on point. Packaging for the price point is 10/10. Price is around $45 for a 100ml. Meydan is $391 for 100ml. Obviously Meydan is a little superior scent wise and performance wise. It’s also got maybe the best presentation out there. However for around 12% of the price this is a STEAL. Steal as in value or intellectual theft up to u the consumer.
