Ustad

Not spectacular or particularly original, but good manly Spring//Fall or Summer night scent with very good performance. If we take into consideration that it is only $10.50 regular price for 100ml at Al-Rashad (and next few days only $4.95!) all while in no way screaming "Cheap!" that would put it into category of spectacular buys. I bought me one year ago, now I'm buying 2 more for gifts. Though it would be suitable as gift only for people who care about scent, not bottle and packaging, as it is looks VERY cheap. Update: Just realized what it reminds me of on drydown - Ralph Lauren's Safari, and little bit of John varvatos Vintage too. Only it is lasts twice longer than Safari. Maybe I should say maintains its sillage twice longer. Safari is very long lasting scent, but losing it sillare as it goes into the stage when when I'm actually like it. Ustad projects for over 6ft at least 12 hours on skin and 24 hours when sprayed on paper.

first let me say that this is strong and will last throughout the day. What a great smelling woodylike, Mossy and fresh smelling perfume. One of the first things you notice is the oak moss but it not just straight up oak moss. It's Oakmaoss surrounded by 'Other Stuff'. I Say surrounded because the ancillary ingredients still support the mossy effect. The lavender, lemon and bergamont account for a NEUTRAL sweet citrusy fresh smell while Sage, Artemesia, geranium basil give it a moist musk but herbal scent. Wow, what a strategic blend of ingredients. Lastly, you throw in some Ylang-Ylang and this really makes for another Classic scent of fusion only bought to you courtesy of Nabeel Perfumes. You will love the smooth and cavalier sophistication of this perfume. They all mix together so good it feels like a dream. This is a one of a kind Mossy scent but not to be confused with standard mossy. This is something totally different Sterling Steel..your Arabian Fragrance Ambassador

Ustad is a strong perfume, heavy, very long lasting, the opening is fresh spicy, the drydown woody and musky. It's very masculine, it reminds me Azzaro pour homme or Azzaro Silver Black, not similar but in the same line. Good choice for spring or summer for those who like this type of scent.
