Emir Oud and Vanille

Starts with a strong smoky blast, but don’t worry – within a few minutes the smokiness subsides a bit, becoming the backbone of the fragrance that opens up to reveal a deep, beautiful mature type of vanilla with a touch of saffron, smooth soft oud and a delicious creamy sandalwood, and after an houre or so shins a pinch of shay airy flowers wich are hard to detect but a great sexy addition to the concoction. The longer the wear, the deeper the vanilla becomes – it is absolutely beautiful ! love how it floats in the air, it's beautiful on its own, and also works wonderfully for layering. Very versatile. This one is in the same alley as Riffaqat, but by far more polished and balanced. I find it sweeter and more refined, and it finally corrected my aversion to this type of perfume profile after being overwhelmed by Riffaqat’s “old closet in the attic or oil paint” vibe, which overshadowed everything and ruined it for me. Very classy. Great for formal events and gives a boss vibe, but surprisingly also works for clubbing and a bit sensual. A good performer too - sillage and projection above average.

This is truly a golden formulation. It reminds me of a more well developed Ameer al Oud Intense. Smoky, spicy and sweet but not suffocating. I almost detect a Morrocan coffee accord with this. Like someone roasting vanilla over a campfire. The oud here is bold and distinguished, the vanilla swirls over the smoking embers of the guaiac and sandal wood, lending a burnt sugar quality The blend of the spicy Cardamom, warm black pepper and refined saffron gives a seductive elegance.. While the mysterious floral bloom delicately at heart of the dry down. Not overly masculine or feminine, I'd say its straight unisex and an AMAZING base perfume. So far I've paired this with Nebras, Ansaam Gold, Kismet Angel, Shagaf Oud Tonka and Khamrah. It pairs best with a fluffy perfume in my opinion unless you really love boozy notes. It's just so freaking good. I see this maceration will go well by the fall

I got mine for 14 euros. Aroma sillage longevity are the same with the og ( 98% approx ). There is no need to have the original. For the user below : i got 6 bottles with 84 euros...480 ml...so the comparison u re making is kind of wrong...i believe that this is better than the original..if u overspray the original u get a weird note.Not with emir!!! Compliments all around me they say i smell like the best cookie in the universe..safe blind buy if u like vanillic perfumes(even if u dont like ouds).unisex.

This is darn good stuff for 25 bucks. Love the oud and vanilla in this. Longevity and sillage are both great. You cannot go wrong with this. 9.5/10. Only gripe is i wish it was a 3.4oz and not a 2.5oz. I have this and aoud vanille from mancera and I prefer this. The og has a mintyness to it where as this doesn't. This also performs just as good as the mancera.

I have the OG, and recently acquired this, and I can tell you, I have a hard time distinguishing between the two. Even the longevity and sillage are very similar, which makes this a very good pickup substitute. You can pick up the OG for about $80 on discounters, so the savings aren't huge... But, if you're on budget, this is a worthy substitute.
