Al Andalus

[ 1 ] - AN INTIMATE ROYAL RHYTHM OUTSIDE THE MIND AND TIME : ❦ What a great successful beginning to discover MORESQUE house with this masterpiece, the nobility, gravity and royalty are the first thing come to my mind ❦ The name itself (AL ANDALUS) is quite expressive, which refers to the most advanced civilized era for human beings at that time, as MORESQUE were good at describing, they were good at creating, as if the imagination of the present embraces the reality of the past. ❦ I highly appreciate this type of genius perfumers and the creativity that turn scents like a time machine and makes you feel you are there, as if your entity, mind, feelings and sensations are being in another time and place. [ 2 ] – THE SCENT OF (AL ANDALUS) TYPE AND VIBE : ❦ The scent transitions are well rounded, and the best part appears, when the undertone start to play a slight role in the dray down, between the balsamic woody birch notes to give a hint of woody sweetness ❦ Well blended, long lasting, intimate projection and the rhythm of mellow notes are enough to create an elegant sillage ❦ It can be wearable by unisex, but at same time, I believe the versatility is more for men than for women, it’s not generic mass appealing, yet apparent ease to wear, it’s charming and joyful, yet not loud and playful. ❦ Personally, I can sense the velvety of ( AL ANDALUS ), is closer to ( DIOR HOMME PARFUM BY DIOR ) vibe, but without any similarity between the two scents or any perfumes that I have experienced. ❦ Finally, I hope these lines are helpful enough, to give a true impression of ( AL ANDALUS ) which I consider as underrated masterpiece.

Though this is not my perfect incense, this is a lovely, peppery-ginger "incense-like" scent that sits close to the skin. There is a soft sweetness to it that balances out the woods. There is little that is acrid, bitter, or even smokey; this has the sweeter aspect of incense. So no Avignon, or Heeley. The labdanum is balanced by the Tolu and vetiver, and the pepper is more noticeable at the beginning for about 30 minutes. Then it softens, becomes quite lovely. This is a unisex fragrance; it will smell wonderful on both men and women though I do think it's a warmer, ever so slightly sweeter, more "feminine" than many incenses which are harsher, acrid, intense. I really like even the most astringent "high church" or "gothic" ones, but this one is discreet, gentle, peaceful. Very well made. I may be springing for a FB after my decant is done.

It seems that 2015 was a good year for perfumes and Al Andalus is one of them. It is a great mix of amber and dry leaves with a fantastic papery drydown, subtle yet persistent. There is no pungent oud - it is refined into a faint cocoa dusted suede and dry driftwood. Nothing is loud at this perfume, which captures so truly the heart of Andalucía: I smell dried fruits (no sweetness, only the scent), rice powder, spices, good quality Spanish labdanum, the breeze of ancient oak forests, a bit of crushed cypress needles and olive leaves. It lingers all day long, coming and going as I walk, now is leathery, then is a bit soapy, later is dusty and warm.. I am traveling to Andalucía every time I wear this marvel. Oh, and I am a girl. It is a perfect unisex. Give it a go, it is more that you’ve bargained for.

If you are a fan of ginger or fresh spice in general you will be blown away By this fragrance. While testing this i wore it in comparison to Clive Christian X and Roja Creation E over a week long period and i must say this thing ran those two into the ground. the nuances that come off this thing are amazing. saffron is s crucial component that makes it superior. Very bottle worthy!

الأندلس جزيرة 🗾 قد أحدقت بها البحار🏝️، وتفجرت من خلالها العيون و الأنهار🏞️، و انجلبت إليها الخيرات من جميع الأقاليم، و متى سافرت إلى مدينة لا تكاد تمشي إلا في العمارة ما بين قرى و حصون و مياه ⛲ و مزارع و بساتين 🌄، و الصحاري 🏜️ بها معدومة لأنها في قلب البحار موضوعة، جمعت بين طيب الهواء والماء. إضافة إلى ذلك، فقد كان في المجتمع الأندلسي طبقية، و تلك الطبقية تألفت من أغنياء 🥻 و فقراء 🦺، فالأغنياء هم أبناء طبقة الأمراء 🤴🏻 والحكام 👑 ومن ذوي الثراء💎، يمتلكون ثروات طائلة تمثلت في قصور 🕌 "ألف ليلة وليلة" لكثرة ما فيه من ضروب الديباج 🧶 و الطنافس و الستائر المزركشة 🧿 و أزر الحيطان المرمرية، و أظن أن العطر صمم لهذه الطبقة المخملية، لما يتميز به من نقاء و تمازج صوفي يتجلى في مكونات تابلية حارة، و أخرى راتنجية بحثة. مقدمة العطر: الزعفران، الزنجبيل، الفلفل الأسود. قلب العطر: عود إندونيسي🤔 (يكاد لا يوجد) قاعدة العطر: نجيل الهند الهايتي، بلسم التولو، اللابدانوم الفرنسي و البتول. — دمت قارئا، و دام العطر رفيقك 🌹. _____________________________________________ للمزيد من التقارير المرجو زيارة صفحتي عبر الأنستغرام Luxe_cologne_reviews مودتي ❤️ _____________________________________________
