Khalil

This is good stuff. I do not agree it is most similar to BR540. In the opening you do get that strong amber and some kind of saffron accord, however in the dry down it is closer to Gris Charnel. It is Gris Charnel without the fig and more emphasis on the woods, mainly sandalwood, and cardamom. It does hold on to a bit of the sweetness and amber from the opening but definitely leans towards Gris Charnel. 20% BR540 and 80% Gris Charnel. I tried this Gris Charnel clone called Liam Grey by Lattafa and it reminds me of that but with better depth and the added amber. Great longevity and performance. Unisex, maybe slightly masculine leaning. Not usually a fan of sweet fragrances, but this is okay for me as long as its not on a jacket I will wear again before washing. Not sure about the price since I go it in a trade. It is around $270 on their site, but I did see it on Max Aroma for $64 before it went out of stock. Great buy if you get it for a good price.

Smells absolutely amazing, and somehow gets even more amazing on my skin as it dries down. The longevity and sillage on me is insane. My Fragrance Fairy Godmother sent me a surprise package with a little Noème velvet bag that had a 5ml of this and a 5ml of Kalahari. Not really a fan of the latter, but I want a full bottle of this! I can see where the BR540 comparison comes from, but to me this is slightly spicier maybe? Definitely more floral and musky and not nearly as sweet as BR540, but definitely has that same type of sweetness underneath it all. All that being said, I would not compare this to BR540 at all. They are not in the same ballpark. This is very different from BR540. I just want to clarify that! I absolutely love this. It leans feminine but I think a man could definitely wear this as well. As another commenter put it, this is exquisite. Divine. Otherworldly. I love this!

At one point, you get to smell something like this. Suddenly you look around at the stuff you've convinced yourself are good; and they all seem meaningless. This is one of the fragrances that reminded me why I like this hobby. A story of an underdog from a company not that famous. One that struck so hard, it made me realize how astray I was from truly enjoying my time with the good stuff. Away from the names, the brands, the hype and the buzz. It's elegant, classy, with an awesome scent trail and a magnificent projection. It won't offend, but also it won't get lost in its own weakness. Exquisite, is the word.

Neome Khalil is a softer more sophisticated version of Bacarat rouge 540 while being less sweet. Although, not completely simular to 540 they share the same DNA, but are not excatly the same. Khalil stands on it's own with the most beautiful drydown and scent profile that lingers from hours on end! The sillage and longevity is truly incredible. As a man and perfume collector with over 75 bottles of niche perfumes in my collection I can honestly say this perfume ranks in my top ten list. Just beautiful! My 3 P's - Projection 8/10 - Performance 9/10 - Price 8/10

Ah man am I loving this one. It's very pretty, musky and not pretty so much to be something only for the women could wear, but, can easily go either way. In an interesting way, It's something I'd picture smelling in a winter wonderland. Discovered this from my scentxplore discovery set and man, is this a nice discover. Definitely worth checking out. This will be a permanent fixture for me. Cool/Cold weather times... so Weather & Maybe Fall as well.
