Auster

What a beautiful concoction, smells pretty similar to Widian London to my nose, because of the fruitiness in the opening, the leathery and woody undertones. The difference resides in the use of Anis, which lives throughout the wearing keeping it warm, and intense. Yet, the lemon reminds its freshness. The scent is very unique, it doesn't smell synthetic at all. Auster should receive much more hype from the fragrance community, it's like layering perfumes. The sillage is Amazing, long lasting. If you love oriental fragrances, then this is a must try, for any season. Crowd-pleasing fragrance, easy to wear, for the price and the quality, simply amazing. Signature scent worthy 9.5/10

al qurashi blend is very expensive. They sell it in their own store in Dubai for 900 dirhams, about $250. They claim the product is completely natural. So, we can't call it a clone. I smelled Blue Sapphire at the Boadicea stand at the fair. It must have cost around $350. I spoke with a senior woman from the company. This might sound harsh, but Electimuss Auster is superior to both. It's also cheaper. When I mentioned this at their stand, she naturally objected, but that's the situation...

More dense and dank version of blue sapphire...blue sapphire has an effervescence and an airy and shimmering vibe..this is the dark brooding and more serious version ...BS is more lemony and fruity in its opening while this straight away shows its Patchouli and geranium strength..star anise shines but just about . In the dry down both smell more or less similar...auster outlasted the BS by a few hours before both became skin scents. Price wise auster is better value for money .

A unisex masculine leaning geranium master-fragrance. Ambergris is a very special component to this composition, it tangles with every note effortlessly . This is (to my nose) a more ethereal version of Xerjoff Fars. The base has a velvety suede texture that smells of Mysore sandalwood becoming a very multi faceted spicy floral that has led to quite a few compliments.

This is powerful, it needs so settle. Once it does, not more than a few minutes, it's stunning in the air. If your going to burry your face in it, your not going to enjoy this. I've never sampled Blue Sapphire, so I cannot compare. I have nothing like this in my collection. It took me a few wearings to begin to appreciate this and it's quickly becoming my go to.

i had a sample of blue sapphire a few years back and absolutely loved it - but the price was a dislike. I found auster on sale - and yes, it fills the void that was left when my blue sapphire ran out. As someone who actively avoids fragrances with clove - like the plague... so i was skeptical. But hey, if it works, it works. Love this. 8/10

It’s wonderful,Woody Spicy, Pure and New scent that I've never smelled with Excellent projection and sillage,all around me have asked me about what I’m wearing with lovely compliments 😍 I bought it blindly in good sale and took twice wearing to fall in love with it I’m lucky and joyful to have it in my Collection. MY over all rate RATE 9/10

Really struggled with this one at first. Extremely potent and I can see why it’s divisive. The geranium and clove are intense. However, I’ve grown to really love it. Sort of old school powerhouse type projection and very sharp. Truly a timeless, traditional masculine scent with excellent quality and longevity. A modern classic.

Love this one but I don't think its for everyone. Its very clean and leans a little mature but in an incredible way! If you aren't into it give it a couple tries because I'm a big fan now but I wasn't initially. I've enjoyed everything I've smelled from this house so far and I'm excited to keep sampling them!

To my nose, this is a blue sapphire type fragrance with great performance. It is NOT a clone bu any means and leans fresher than blue sapphire with a stronger lemon note that bodes well for the warmer months. I love this and can’t beat it for the price. Where is the hype for this bad boy?!

You're not going to sneak up on anyone wearing this one! Wow ... projects like a lighthouse, in a really good way! Smells like a person who's used to being in charge. Confident, and maybe just a little arrogant. In no way shy. This is really good stuff!

Beautiful unisex aromatic fragrance. The blending is amazing. The dance of sweetness of geranium with contrasting salty-animalic-ambergris & patchouli provides an amazing symphony. Very pleasant and for the mature and discerning. Shukran Habibi!

I wouldn't be able to describe how that smells. It's the first time I smell something like this. To me it has a blood orange smell weirdly enough. I really like it.

I love it. Cooler weather and evenings out. I get the spicy, woody and aromatic scent profile. Well blended. Leans masculine. It seems unique at least to me.

MeeeennnPerfumed this is an art,,over 16 hours they stay on the protection is monstrous,, it is a very elegant old money perfume, 10/10

Oriental type of scent, very long lasting and strong sillage in a safe way. Dont blind buy it

Sweet, candied, aromatic lemons with a creamy texture. This is a gorgeous scent.

Very powerful and super fresh. Projects loud. Extremely pleasant. Love it.

I had to really take my time to write up a review about this perfume because I needed time to understand this perfume, the notes provided in Fragrantica seems to be incomplete IMO because its so complex and I believe there are notes that are not listed. This perfume is a hidden power house and its one of the most loudest perfume I have in my collection, this thing projects and projects. The notes that listed here are correct however I do get additional incense and slight vanillic touches in the dry-down. The opening mentions lemon but I get lemon in the heart notes for some reason and the main smell initially that I get is something liquorice which might be the combination of star anise and clove but I also get hints of tobacco, like the tobacco used in tom ford tobacco vanille, but when this perfume comes in its heart and dry-down its not as loud as it initially was but still projects nicely. In the mid - dry-down stages of the perfume you get a lot of geranium and lemon along with incense, slight sharp pachouli and very faint vanilla. This is a nice beautiful fragrance and both men and woman can wear it very under rated and not many youtubers talk about it and I am glad I have this.

Not the best from this house for myself. I find I can easily wear masculine leaning scents, but this is a little too pure masculine for my nose and reminds me of Gillette shaving foam. It's a very fresh sort of shower/sporty scent for a man and easily wearable daily on any occasion. I could see this being someone's staple signature scent quite easily. The clove and spice notes (Saffron? Not listed) are dry and pungent, then the geranium, which is on the more bitter side, shows up with the scent of the leaves being rubbed from the plants. This is all underpinned by a leather/suede note and a slightly soapy wood base. A nice fresh scent that makes me picture aquamarine blue in my minds eye when I sniff it. This just isn't one for myself.
