Wanderlust

It's been hot and humid (and overcast) as of late, like walking through a tropical rainforest outside. So I've been gravitating towards the fragrance that matches that energy this week, one of my late spring and summer jewels, Wanderlust from Omanluxury. Im being literal, nothing westernized or deodorized about this rainforest experience, this is true niche. Despite the note breakdown, this is a hyperealistic GREEN fragrance. Takes me back to scouting in the forest for the first time or army field training. Thick fig leaf through and through, also note fig trees are one of the most prominent trees in the rainforest. There is citrus here, but it smells like it's bitter, green, and unripe. Bushy, pungent vegetation in the opening. The spices are earthy, the pink pepper still on the tree, and the cinnamon still in the bark. In the mid, the saffron gives it a leathery yet floral touch, along with a tangy black currant that you'd expect from forest fruit. The base IS the tree: branches, trunk, and crown. Guaiac wood from trees in the South America rainforest, and cedar but to a lesser extent, then the olibanum gives it the aged decaying resinous jungle smell. This blew me away when I first tried it, but it also made me sad because I knew that most folk that are only exposed to mainstream fragrances wouldn't appreciate this olfactory masterpiece. The first comment I ever got was, "You smell like...grass?" 😂 It's lasts 8+ hours and has a nice sillage bubble that projects a little past arms length. Highly recommended for niche fragrance lovers looking to go on a journey. Leans masculine but is perfectly unisex. Omanluxury is a CRIMINALLY slept on fragrance house. 🅰️➕️ (10/10) -@frommalwithlove

I bought a sample of Wanderlust and wasn't planning on buying a bottle, but I've quickly become addicted to it and also saw that it's been discontinued, so I snatched up a bottle as soon as I saw it on sale (as of the date of this post, the cheapest place to find Wanderlust is $165 on FragranceNet). I'm both confused and mesmerized by this fragrance. I see from the other reviews that everyone has slightly different experiences with it, but to my nose, it's a very sharp, tart citrus scent -- think grapefruit or lemon, not necessarily a sweet citrus like anything from Louis Vuitton or Sospiro. I would describe Wanderlust as "bright" or "zesty," not warm. It also has a grassy opening that I don't usually like. Because of that different experience from anything else in my collection, I wasn't really that interested in Wanderlust initially. But then I kept catching myself all day smelling my arm where I had sprayed it. I could not, and still cannot, get enough of it, even though it's rather linear and not the deepest scent profile. Wanderlust may not be for everyone, but I highly recommend giving it a try before it becomes obsolete. Disclaimer: I see that there are two Wanderlust listings here on Fragrantica. I have no idea which version of Wanderlust I have since I'm currently spraying from a 5ml decant. I'll update when I get my full bottle.

Wanderlust by Omanluxury is an experience more than just a fragrance. From the first spray, it immediately transports you with its rich, warm, and slightly exotic scent. It feels luxurious, yet not overpowering—perfect for those who appreciate depth and refinement in a fragrance. The opening is warm and inviting, with saffron and cardamom giving it a slightly spicy, exotic feel. There’s a touch of citrus that adds just enough brightness without taking away from its richness. As it develops, the heart notes bring in a blend of oud, amber, and leather, creating a beautifully smooth and slightly smoky effect. It’s bold but never overwhelming, and the floral undertones subtly soften it, adding elegance and balance. The dry down is where Wanderlust truly shines. Creamy sandalwood and vanilla add warmth and a slight sweetness, while musk lingers in the background, making it feel sensual and long-lasting. The longevity is impressive, easily 10+ hours, with strong but not overpowering sillage. If you’re a fan of warm, spicy-woody fragrances with a Middle Eastern touch, this is a must-try. It’s elegant, long-lasting, and leaves a lasting impression—one of those scents that makes you feel confident and sophisticated every time you wear it.

This was probably one of my most risky blind-buys ever. Although I did get a really good deal on it, it still wasn't exactly a cheapie. But lord am I happy I took that risk. This is a natural smelling green fragrance with a perfectly balanced fruitiness, and a nice rounded dry-down with some woods. I can't understand how anyone could get a headache from this beauty, as I do not find this sharp or piercing like some other green fragrances tend to be. It is a well rounded, unique, fresh and natural fragrance that will most certainly spark interest from the people around you. Oh, and the longevity is superb on this one! Perfect for an office-setting, as well as for a more dressed up setting. This has grown to be a love for me over the last few weeks, and I encourage people to give this a try. I would not say it's blind-buy safe (hypocrite, I know) as it's a unique composition, but I feel that this deserves a lot more praise.

Wanderlust by Omanluxury took me completely by surprise. I’ve always avoided perfumes with olibanum, finding the note too sharp for my taste, so I never really gave this one a chance. But one day, the seller insisted I give it a sniff, and I’m so glad I did. The moment it touched my skin, I was hooked. I kept going back to the sample over and over again until I knew I wasn’t leaving the store without it. The magic lies in the way the fresh blackcurrant blends seamlessly with bright bergamot and lemon, giving it a juicy, luminous opening that completely softens the olibanum edge. It’s fresh, slightly tart, and beautifully balanced with a touch of smoky depth. I wore it to work, and for over eight hours straight, I kept getting compliments! People asking what I was wearing, saying I smelled amazing. That’s when I knew Wanderlust wasn’t just a good buy.

This smells like the most realistic fig leaf I've ever smelled in perfumery. It must have fig or the other ingredients create a fig accord. Or, I suppose this is how the black currant plant smells in real life. In any case, this has a natural green crispness that I'm yet to find anywhere else and it gives me the feeling I'm actually biting into the leaves or snapping the stems right next to my nostrils. A very lively thing to behold. There's some woodines in the background backing up the hyper realistic green experience. Overall a really refreshing green adventure. I'm not sure where I'd wear this as I assume people would think I've been gardening, but there's something so natural and invigorating about it. -------------------------------------------------------- Scent 9/10 Performance 7.5/10

This starts off as a really sharp almost photorealistic acidic torn black currant leaf.I get mint(probably from the black currant leaf, they are a bit minty) I get no citruses at all. A bit too much super sharp green for the first five minutes.Then it mixes wonderfully with the olibanum and creates a black currant leaf and a little bit of the berries with a small sweet coconut vibe. I absolutely love it. But to take the sharp edges down a bit I mix this with one small drip of good myrrh oil per 10ml. I have smelled about 500 fragrances and to me this is the best and my signature scent. People around me can ́t stop sniffing and wonder what I am wearing. Absolutely divine.

First of all when i smelled this frag i knew nothing abt the notes which i thought had some booz or passion fruit , it indeed gave me the vibes of a fruity beer mostly passion fruit however it is still a good summer scent even after lookin up the notes i still get the booziness and fruitiness , and it doesnt smell synthetic it smells luxurious enough , still i think the price is high a little but it might be worth it for some ppl , projection moderate and it lasted abt 10 hours on my skin even after showering.

The guy at bottom comment talking it and saying its worst smeling fresh freshi and it smells like white cheese looks like don't have any idea about fresh fregrance is, it doesn't mean citrus only there are so many different categories like green fresh,citrus fresh,marine fresh,fruity fresh etc and this one is green fresh with slight fruity notes and one the best in class and smooth blend ,i can almost guarantee that person os new to fragrance journey 😀

The original call of the wild. This pioneering blend opened with lemon, bergamot, pink pepper, and blackcurrant — a vivid, energetic burst that felt like open skies. The heart of tea, jasmine, fig, saffron, and cinnamon added botanical elegance, while the base of olibanum, guaiac wood, cedar, amber, sandalwood, and musk settled into a warm, woody embrace. Though discontinued, it remains a legendary scent and a collector’s holy grail.

I love me some fig in my perfumes. That being said I am not a green fragrance guy, but wow!! I get why unappreciative and untrained noses would not appreciate the high quality photorealistic nature of this bottle of liquid gold. Makes me feel as if I'm in nature on a very expensive vacation. Invigorating. Fresh. Very well done. My favourite green scent!

One of my favorites from the brand Yes it does remind me of philosycos and it’s very close to it actually But this one is on a whole other level Twice as strong More depth and notes Refreshing Projection and sillage are greater Overall a different take on philosycos but in a good way You can definitely smell the figs in this one Well done Oman luxury

العطر جميل جدا في رأيي مختلف لن تجد له شبيه صيفي خريفي ربيعي مفيش اي مشكله في استخدامه في هذه الاوقات هو فقط لمن يبحث عن عطر صيفي مختلف عن كل ما هو مألوف ويفضل التجربه قبل الشراء، اما لمحبين عطور النيش وليس عنده اي مانع مع العطور المختلفه غير التقليديه اشتري ولن تندم 😃 وطبعا ثبات وفوحان جيد جدا الي ممتاز حسب استخدامك

This is a unique Spring / Summer fragrance for people tired of citrus and blue offerings. Hyper realistic, natural, green fig accord. Very stemmy, vibrant, almost grassy in the best way. Strong projection and longevity for this style of perfume. Very happy with my purchase.

Freshly sliced Serrano peppers, ready to spice up a mojito, that’s what I get...not a lot of longevity on this, but I do get some wafts hours later, stunner, but dissipates too quickly. Admittedly, I have a FB and anticipate using it until it's gone, lovely!!

One of the best fig scents in the market. Great projection and performance. It would work perfect in spring and summer. I believe it is the best one from the house.

One of the best ever summer scents! This what you should spend your money for. I personally prefer old formulation than the new one but both are beautiful!

this is such an insanely realistic fig! it starts so fresh & minty and stays strong with a very juicy fig after, it's such a perfect spring scent.

العطر ماخوذ ٧٠ بالميه من امواج بيتش هات لكن فاكهي اكثر وحمضي اكثر لكن ممتاز بما آني أحب نوتت التين

The freshie that undeniably smells expensive and powerful
