Onekh

'Onkeh' is a wonderful sweet and fruity leather option, very much unisex, and which has a slightly warmed up animalic heart. The leather here is wonderfully soft, supple, smooth and almost buttery. Some leathers can be very sharp or abrasive in perfume, but I think this is a really beautiful formation, blended well to create an overall polished and smooth kind of texture as a whole. The actual bottle design, with the polished stone in the lid, fits this perfume perfectly! There's some labdanum resin in this which provides a nice warm amber in a sweetened base, with just a little bit of an incense and smokey feel to it. Somehow, the notes together create a spun sugar tint/marshmallow perception to my nose. This is not a bad thing! It's what makes this leather/oud fragrance unisex and something I feel could layer well with a perfume such as 'Oriana' by PDM or 'Love Done be Shy' by Killian, if one were to push it more in a feminine direction. I will try this in a moment and report back. The oud (I believe Laotian and some synthetic Oud) isn't actually too medicinal in this, although in the opening it can be a little bit strange perhaps to those unaccustomed to it as an ingredient in perfumes, seemingly appearing rancid or somewhat putridly sweet. What I have noticed, is that when my bottle was fresh the opening funk was more pronounced and its calmed down greatly and blended in far more over time with the other notes, whilst the balsamic and sweeter notes of the oud have bloomed. In all fairness, Its only gotten better over the months it's been sat in my cabinet. 'Onekh' is a delight to own and wear, easily becoming one of my more favourite and interesting leathers in my collection. It's powerful and long lasting, still easily detected on my clothes and wrist the next day. A bottle should last anyone a very long time, as you don't need to overspray. Edit - layering this with PDM's 'Oriana' is GREAT! Glad I tried this out. I love it.

Notwithstanding the fragrance note pyramid on this page, this is a great oud/saffron scent that, like so many similar note combinations, yields a nice leather accord. The scent is warm and spicy but dry. I get nothing animalic or medicinal from this cleaned up oud, just an enviable richness that suggest natural materials and quality blending. The notes are loaded with strong masculine associations. Projection is considerable and longevity is more than 10 hours of my skin in cold or cool weather. Ordinarily, I only wear this scent in cold weather, but today I find myself in a late spring cold snap with temps staying under 10° C (>50° F) and heavy, cold rains. Onekh has proven a great choice for these conditions. In the sort of very high humidity I find myself today, the spices and labdanum in this scent combine with the oud to create a warming, incensey aura that is just great. Speaking of great, the presentation on all of these Bvlgari Le Gemme products is great, too. The bottles are incredible and look distinctive in the midst of a collection, the other packaging is also really good as is the atomizer. These luxury products from Bvlgari are expensive, in line with the other exclusives from the houses in the LVMH constellation of brands, but they are of suitably high quality to make the price seem less than outrageous. Be exceptionally selective about where you choose to purchase any Le Gemme product; fakes abound (see the two previous reviews for tales of woe). If this fragrance works with your budget, and you enjoy oud-based leather accords, Onekh is among the very best. Recommended.

An amber oud with a nice deviation from the ways I've experienced that combination before. I get wafts of smoked incense, the oud sourced from Laos is a beautiful, sweet/spicy, woody oud and mainly inoffensive, the minty geranium and citrus pop off the skin and keeps the fragrance fresh throughout its longevity into this rich supple luxury car leather accord, not that alcantara nonsense. A bit more of sweetness comes out as it begins to sit closer to skin though caramel is listed I don't really pick it up. And although Onekh is a darker profile I think it can be pulled off year round similar to a black suit or tux. If this is applied moderately in warmer temps it would be perfect because its not heavy, not balsamic and just lightly resinous. This is masculinity, refinement and confidence in a bottle. Signature scent worthy for me.

I, too, got scammed purchasing fake BVLGARI Le Gemme 'ONEKH' from a Russian seller on eBay. After that fiasco, I thought about buying it for full retail price ($326.00) at Bloomingdale's online. Luckily, I didn't because FedEx just delivered a 100% GENUINE bottle of 'ONEKH' that I recently purchased from FragranceNet.com (the link should be posted at the top of this page). After a 25% discount, the price was $221.99 + tax...shipping was free. I also wanted the GYAN, but it had already sold out. This site still has other different LE GEMME men's and women's fragrances available...AND, they also have a return policy. UPDATE:- Seems like 'ONEKH' lovers read this 'cause within just hours after posting, FragranceNet.com completely sold out of it...but you can request it by leaving them your email address.

Leathery fragrance with some sweet spices like a cinnamon stick is what im getting mainly very elegant fragrance i love it Soft dark, a begginer dark fragrance, elegant leather coming from the labdanum and a sweet spice is what better describes the fragrance... not a cloying or gourmand sweetness but just to contrast it Dont know the performance exactly i have only wear it twice but never counting the time but both have been over the 6hrs and proyection moderated not a beast for sure i can already tell that but also not weak right in the middle i would say leaning more to the moderate-weak side not the beast mode side

I'm surprised people don't love this or it is because this is rather rare? This is a beautiful leather perfume and one of Bvlgari creative perfume. I know not everyone would like leather note, but this is very sexy men perfume. You can imagine yourself in a tavern, waiting for fancy dinner in loose buttoned shirt, rather tight leather jacket and lint of tobacco between your fingers. The leather notes is not intimidating, rather it approach you slowly as the spices follow after. I can smell blackpepper and thyme as few of the spices. Very nice.

Beautiful oriental take on leather genre. This is how expensive five-star hotels in Dubai smell. It is extremely smooth, almost transparent, very well blended. Initial pepperiness subsides to gorgeous slightly sweet labdanum dry-down with hints of sensual oud. I really fell in love - it has been compared to Amouage, but it is much better blended than anything I smelled from that house. It has a mass-appeal feeling, but certainly cannot be considered a designer fragrance (and I do not mean it only because of the hefty price-tag).

This is great! Definitely my favorite leather dominant fragrance. I've seen people saying "buttery" leather and I totally agree. I think the leather in other popular frags like Ombre Leather or even Regent Leather is too new car smell. This one opens with a slightly sweet citrus, and drys down to an almost gourmand smoky goodness! I can detect the same Cavallier DNA that I find in Tygar and Gyan. Performance is pretty good, nothing crazy. Lasts a long time, projection is respectable.

Tried this at the local store and like it. Unfortunately it’s discontinued and cannot be obtained, at least locally. I didn’t smell too strong of a leather note as I don’t particularly like leather note. What I get is mostly amber spicy notes. Anyone wants to sell one pls contact me. I got a decant but still would prefer owning a full bottle. Edit. Tried layering it with Rose de Russie but the pepper in RdR drowned Onekh. Lol Finally got a bottle of this.

I'm a 54 yr old woman and I like fragrances with depth and dimension. This is my first "male" fragrance but I really don't mind that title for what I'm given here. I fell in love with this at first sniff. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS LAYERED UNDER BACCARAT ROUGE 540. They are a match made in heaven on my skin. I smell like nothing I've ever smelt before in my life. Big love on it's own but SOOOOOO perfect mixed with BR540.

I would start by saying Bulgari lists different notes on their website as Fragrantica... and i'm going to spring off of Bulgari's description. Here you're given a slightly medicinal, just barely slightly barnyard oud. This is then balanced out with a surprising, note of mandarin orange. Creamy, ambery labdanum runs underneath. I'm surprised how oud-y this actually smells.

I don't understand the reviews which talk about the initial 10 mins of this fragrance when the dry down lasts 10 hours plus on me. The first 10 mins of the journey are not really that important compared to the next 10 hours surely ? Anyway I love this . Unlike anything else I own. Also my wife likes it and she normally hates leather scents

I sample many scents from around the world. Blvgari Onekh is one put quite neatly into my list of sexy perfumes for men. Distinctly masculine without being overtly macho or overwhelming. Classy with a playful character though never uncouth. Can be an intimate scent shared by lovers, suitable at all times of playful seduction. 8/10

I quite like this, not what i was expecting, this is really fruity. If you're after a dark spicy leather scent, well sorry to break it to you, this is not it. A smooth combination of amber and fruity notes with a touch of leather, there is quite a dusty and a powdery feeling to the smell once it settles on the skin. Superb scent.

This is my current favorite. It’s a warm, buttery leather with soft spices. I haven’t really smelled anything like it so far. It hasn’t been well received for spring but I disagree. I think this would work really well on a chilly or rainy spring day. Might be pushing it for summer, though. I’d give it a 10 out of 10.

Wow, this is LEATHER. Like, straight-up, in-your-face leather. But it's not harsh or overwhelming. There's this warm amber sweetness underneath that keeps it grounded and inviting. Definitely a bold choice, but if you want to make a statement, Onekh will do it.

This may be my fav leather fragrance so far. I've owned countless of leather fragrances, and this one has something special to it. My wife loves it, and she hates leather fragrances. Once I'm done my sample, I am definitely going to grab this fragrance.

sI actually liked this a lot while comparing it with some amouage fragrances . Its like a sweet and salty fragrance. Leathery but at the same time not too dark and has a boozy, candy like vibe to it. I simply love it. One of my favorite 9/10

This is a real beast when it comes to longevity. Lovely sweet leather and sandalwood--on the very far dry down smells really similar to the same line, Yasar, or Yaser (sorry can't remember the name).

Amazing leathery cinnamon smell. sensual, elegant and refined. Perfect fragrance for strong semi harsh fragrance enthusiasts, quality is top tier and one of my favorite fragrances ive smelled
