Telaal

This is a MUSK BEAST on me! It smells so lovely and sweet in the bottle but when I applied it to my wrists the musk was so strong I could actually taste it. Yes, taste it! Others describe this as soft and subtle, but on my skin it is loud, brash and cloying. Hopefully I was just having a bad nose day because I do so want to enjoy this perfume. Next time I am going to try a tiny dab on the back of my neck or rub it on my hands then run them through my hair. EDIT: After wearing this a bit more I have now grown to LOVE it! As it wears, the musk finally ebbs and rich caramel, brown sugar, and vanilla emerge. At certain times I even get hints of sweet, creamy chocolate. Even farther along I get notes of polished teak, and smoldering oud embers. After the initial powder blast of musk in my nose and throat goes away, I'm left with a beautiful woody, amber, gourmand vanilla beauty with excellent staying power and sillage on my skin.

I purchased this from a reputable online dealer *unsniffed*, based solely on reviews here. It wasn't very expensive, so I wouldn't be too disappointed if it smelled like crap. What a find this is! It's heaven in a pretty bottle. Don't you just love the bottles Arabian perfumes come in? This reminds me a great deal of Ambre Narguile, but with less cinnamon and a heart of oud. It's very ambery and woodsy, sweet but not cloying. Since I ran out of Ambre Narguile and original Prada, this has just become my fall weather go to scent. Not a lot of sillage, but lasts for hours and hours.

Sticky and warm tree sap, gooey caramel, a medium-weight beige Arabian musk, and just a hint of nebulous, hazy, wood. Reminds me just a bit of Olympic Orchids Woodcut. I prefer the smoothness of Telaal, though. It melds so perfectly with skin and radiates with your heat wonderfully. I was kindly gifted this by a Fragrantican, and I am very thankful for it. Unfortunately, it's hard to find. Smell-alikes are the aforementioned Woodcut, Alkemia Golden Bough, and Berdoues Oud Wa Vanilia.

What a warm scent! I got this scent today and I am wearing it right now. I am experiencing a caramelized butterscotch note follow by an exotic woods and finish with a very subtle elegant floral background. A masterpiece! I pay a fraction of what I ́ve paid for other compositions, but Telaal shows that price really does not dictates quality or creativity. Well done here!!!

A soft, easy to wear oriental which is very, very similar to Kelemat by Arabian Oud and Aoud Meloki by Montale. This is the cheapie of the three, decent longevity but wears close to the skin. The notes I get is amber (love ), resin, wood, caramel, some rose and above all vanilla. It is definitely unisex even if it leans towards feminine.

This smells like fine butterscotch and warm melting firewood! Excellent blend of ingredients by the masters of depth( Fawah)...Nabeel Perfumes This is more of a strong but very seductive and subtle scent. You can smell the semi-sweet amber flirting with the creamyiness of teakwood. The oudh is present but is tamed further by lemon, resins, musk and rose. As usual, expect the sophistication and feel of luxury as with most high end niche perfumes. Telaal is that good Sterling Steel your Arabic Fragrance Ambassador!
