Khas Lil Rijal Black Edition

Khas Lil Rijal Black Edition by Lattafa I don't know if it official but the notes listed, Top Notes: Lemon, Plum, Green Notes Middle Notes: Carnation, Lily of the valley, Rose Base Notes: White Musk, Oud, Benzoin, Vanilla, Ember I blind bought it for ~12USD with discounts because, why not? Got a pretty good bottle with a magnetic cap and the atomizer delivers well. My first impression with 1 spray on my left hand: For the first 10 seconds, just pretend its not there because it smells very synthetic and may be off putting to some. But after that is where the magic happens. On my skin, It develops into a beautiful sweet, woody, musky scent. The more I wear it, the better it gets. A truly wonderful scent. Scent: 10/10 (excluding the initial smell) Projection: 10/10 (5 feet with 4 hours) Performance: 10/10 (11 Hours on skin) Sillage: 9/10 (leaves a great trail) Versatility: 8/10 (may not be suitable in blazing hot weather) Bottle: 9/10 (black-gold with magnetic cap) Price: 10/10 (unbeatable value for a 100ml) My Overall Rating: 9.5/10 It is mass pleasing and although marketed as unisex, it leans toward more masculine, hence the name, 'Khas Lil Rijal' roughly translated to 'Specially For Man'. Like all Lataffa perfume, can't wait for it to fully macerate. That is when the perfume will truly shine. All in all, this is a beastly gem of a fragrance. Sadly, it is already discontinued. May need to get a backup bottle.

Smells coniferous to me, like a deep oozy pine with fragrant pine sap dripping down the sides. Really nice, was expecting some bomb oud so only sprayed one finger but this I like! Woodsy piney but real, fresh tree sap. Subtly spicy too. Leans masculine, and has that slight fresh / minty or cirtussy feel to it when you rub pine spikes between your fingers. Very niche, at a good price range (25£ ish / 100 ml) If you love woods and pines try this! ** 200+ samples up for swap in the uk - get in touch! **
