Emir

The characteristic that separates Emir from other Oudy fragrances is not its Oud but the orange/grapefruit combo that evokes a sweet marmalade jam-like opening. The oud quickly follows giving off a runny sweet syrupy oud quality. The patchouli and the rest of the notes gently counteract the sweetness and make the fragrance more rounded by giving it a body and more texture. I wish that tobacco could've been added though. The performance is moderate-to-heavy. Overall, a very pleasurable experience in its uniqueness. 8.5/10, Highly recommended

EMIR opens with tangy notes of pomelo and orange, supported by geranium, spiced up with pepper. Then, the fragrance begins to reveal its potency, rich in patchouli, cedar and musk, its background is expressed above all in the opulent scent of aoud. This fragrance radiates masculinity and it is part of the Exclusive collection, whose bottles are hand-decorated with Swarovski crystals. To me, this masterpiece is like a beautiful blending of two of my favorite fragrances which are Royal Oud by Creed and Terre d'Hermes by Hermes.

I'm a little confused why people talking about the price? I think I paid like 235 for a 100ml bottle. Making it one of the cheapest I own, especially an oud guy. This is an amazing edp imo. I love the oud and woods and spices. It does ride close to the skin, but not that close that i would not buy it at this price point. I just spray an extra spray and then it projects just fine. Love the bottle and the juice. Considering other niche houses charging this or more for a 50 ml so. Just try it, if you hate it @me

As a point of interest, this is not airy or wispy in any way, this is a heavy perfume-y like fragrance where it could be too much for others in close quarters or if you’re looking for more subtlety. As far as the scent goes, feels like an amped up and cheaper version of M7 (which i love), plus a strong honey note. I am personally back and forth on how much I like it. Had a sample and liked it enough that I used it all and bought a bottle, but just don’t really reach for it now.

Wonderful fragrance, my new favorite from Micallef. In the same trend of smooth and very likeable unisex western ouds, from Royal Oud (Creed), AdP Colonia Oud and MFK Oud. On paper it reminded me of a juicy spicy, like Spicy for Him. On skin however, the fresh parts (citrus) and spices are gentled by the oud and flowers and the rich patchouli. Everything blends into a beautiful aroma and drydown. Strong and longlasting. Gorgeous bottle also! 9/10
