Bayaan

I love love love this fragrance. I thought my bottle was all but empty til I reached for it to have one last sniff before decluttering my stash. I got a few sprays which made my day. Popped into a market with my partner for a lazy Sunday bite to eat and gander at the fares. He and I share a love of fragrances and of shoes. We happened by a stall with clothes and some well known ME fragrance brands. I spotted my beloved Bayaan, @$50AUD a bottle. It broke me a little knowing I'd located it on sale, online for $35AUD- but then shipping costs and time I'd be without her. We tried Apex, for my partner, and Empire Victor for me. We took both of those and 1 Bayaan and as we were leaving, the salesman says, "how about my last Bayaan for $35". He had me. Somehow we both won. It drew me in with something a little minty, creamy warm and sweet with the praline, cardamom and rose. I smell the moss and dry woods, almost smoky, and I still cant get enough of the ebb and flow between the mid and base notes. This is so well done!

...two years later the gasoline smell had died down and that mossy earthiness has rounded out allowing a beautiful, deep dark jammy rose and oud combo to take center stage. I see myself bypassing pricier versions and reaching for this one because of its beefier presence and performance.

I simply adore Bayaan! It truly makes me think about "Arabian Nights" stories, with its rose, fruity and sweet notes. 4 sprays are enough for an entire day and I really feel the scent bubble around me. Price is very good too!

Juicy sweet rosey oudy... In spite of myself feeling that this is a little "much" I really like this one. Feels like deep red-magenta velvet.

It smells like Lancôme L’autre Oud and Shaghaf Oud had a baby with a dash of Ombré Nomade. It smells sooooo good. I love It
