Tafaseel

A javanol, norlimbanol and ambrocenide bomb. Have nothing to do with anything by Master Gualtieri. The ambrocenide dont over come anything. The norlimbanol is more likeable due to the patchouli. The javanol feels different from the one by escentric molecule, maybe the vanilla. The orris note is detectable onlynif you know it already, gives a bit of elegance with the bergamot, nothing fresh though. The link pepper is a note that is not real, i smell the taste of coca cola, just without sugar. I think that this smell is given by coumarin and incense. The fegrance rimend me of gucci guilty absolut pour homme and pasha parfum by cartier May be too strong for some occasion like gym or summer, even for the night.

What a fantastic perfume for men! This is absolutely amazing from opening to close. The aroma is heavenly masculine to say the least. Tafaseel smells like a heavily incensed/spiced palo santo wood. It’s very warm, noir, balsamic and balmy with an intoxicating ambery, patchouli, smoky and very woody dry down that’s to die for. This is definitely a woody, smoky incense perfume throughout thanks to healthy dose of frankincense. I can’t really vouch for a lot of oud although it is there, just not strong but nevertheless cleverly blended to add depth and darkness. The only reference that I could think of for comparison purposes would be Clive Christian’s Chasing The Dragon Hypnotic. There’s a narcotic, intoxicating opium/black cherry/clove/cinnamon like chord that is the backbone to Tafaseel which is prevalent in Chasing The Dragon Hypnotic. As soon as I smelled this I was instantly reminded of Chasing The Dragon Hypnotic which is a criminally overpriced one off perfume. There’s nothing else out there like it until Tafaseel came along. I was elated because I’ve always fancied the Clive Christian. I truly believe that Nabeel has modeled Tafaseel after Chasing The Dragon Hypnotic because the similarities are uncanny, and what an amazing job they did, especially at this very affordable price point. The blending in this perfume is phenomenal. It’s quite complex and dynamic that is far more than the sum of its parts. It feels like there are way more notes than what has been provided. Tafaseel is a spiced, dense and heavy perfume that feels to be only appropriate for cold weather. The only downfall to Tafaseel is that this is not a versatile perfume. It’s dressy, classy. A tee shirt and jeans perfume this is not. Presentation is top and original with a weighty and thick bottle, and the atomizer gushes out an unnecessary amount of liquid per pump. Sillage isn’t particularly strong however this is due to Tafaseel’s high oil content at pure perfume levels with a non-denatured alcohol content of 61%. Your skin will be oily for a while after applying. Longevity is very strong at a minimum of 12+ hours. This perfume is still detectable on my skin after 24 hours. A completely original creation from Nabeel and as always, Tafaseel is just awesome because Nabeel really produces some outstanding perfumes.

Smooth, creamy, mentholated and very woody - this stuff smells like straight up palo santo. There is some juicy bergamot in the top, and this note mixed with some warm amber gives a boozy accord a la Bentley for Men Intense. There is a slight patchouli/incense mixture in the drydown that gives off a sort of oily, spicy leather characteristic. If I were forced to compare this unknown gem to some more popular offerings, my breakdown would look like this: Pasha de Cartier Parfum with palo santo instead of sandalwood, and the general “woodiness” amplified, mixed with a decent dose of Bentley for Men Intense and a bit of Chopard Oud Malaki/Penhaligon’s Halfeti in the drydown. Too early to comment on performance just yet, but seems like it’ll perform quite well. Quality is great. All in all, totally phenomenal perfume and I recommend it to any mature guy who is a fan of Pasha especially.

Kind of a twist on halfeti to my nose, kind of like it better
