Khair

Khair opens with an intensely sour, citrusy burst and a bushy green freshness, where herbal notes intertwine with bitter bergamot and spices. It's a little blue, too. There is no hesitation, no gradual build-up — the initial impact is incredibly strong before it gently softens, revealing a creamy leather accord intertwined with earthy, woody oud. The composition carries a somewhat medicinal quality, which I personally enjoy — not in a sterile, clinical sense, but more like an old-world tonic — rugged yet purposeful. A petrol-like note emerges in the opening, a facet I always find appealing, and a subtle animalic nuance lingers throughout, though never overpowering. Despite its bold character, this fragrance remains remarkably versatile, suitable for year-round wear across all age groups. I believe confident women could also wear it, as it leans unisex. Nothing in the composition feels overly thick or heavy, and the fresh opening notes persist, adding a sense of brightness throughout — even alongside the distinctly masculine leather. Projection is strong from start to finish, and longevity is excellent. The bottle is just nice — nothing more — but the atomizer is of high quality and creates great, even clouds. Khair reminds me of an alternative, brighter, significantly more powerful, and longer-lasting, yet less wintery version of Lattafa Ra'ed Oud. While Ra'ed leans into its smoky, spice-laden density, Khair keeps things airier and more structured. Ra'ed is much denser due to its smoky elements and an overwhelming blend of oily spices, whereas Khair delivers a similar presence but with greater balance and restraint. The quality of this fragrance is genuinely impressive. Based on the note breakdown alone, I didn't expect such a versatile twist on Ra'ed Oud, yet the balance is exceptional. Khair is well worth experiencing. As for its peculiarities, I find them intriguing rather than off-putting — strangely enough, they even bring red ants to mind, though I can't quite explain why. I had that thought before even reading takityp's review, so there must be something to it. Perhaps, fittingly, the bottle should be red.

When i first started my fragrance journey at Burlington this box was on the shelves. The note breakdown scared me away because I was unfamiliar with oud and leather in an fragrance thus far. After many purchases the thought of leather/ oud fragrances started to peak my interest. My entry into leather fragrances started with Ishq Shuyukh gold. I liked the way it smelled but wasn't sure about wearing it out in the world. Long story short I took it back and regret that to this day. I then bought Hayaati Gold Elixer and kept it because it is fire! Now I'm on this leather high. I then realized that I wanted to try Khair because of all the hype with Hawas Fire being inspired by Imperial valley. I then go to every Burlington, Marshall's and TJ Max in the city of Columbus. I didn't find a single bottle, mission failed. I then went to the mall intending search of Khair, no luck. Accepting defeat in my search I then asked if I could smelll Hawas Fire at a a kiosk. It was either fake or I was totally nose blind because I wasn't impressed. On the way out of the mall intending spotted an Arabic store that I hadn't noticed before. I look up and see Imperial valley by Gissah. So of course they let my spray my arm and wow, I fell in love immediately. Obviously I bought a 200 ml. bottle and I was a very happy camper. Fast forward to a couple days ago and my mother gifted me with Hawas Fire and i found Khair at Marshall's in the same day! So far Khair was a little screachy in in beginning ( I'm sure it needs time to sit or I just sprayed too much) but the drydown is magnificent!

* Intriguing citrus/fougere/oud hybrid fragrance * The only oud fragrance that can be described as uplifting and refreshing * Good blend of citrus, woody, herbal, spicy, musky and light amber aromas * Unique scent combination * Great for male users * Good for all weather and seasons * Good performer * Leans way too masculine for female users * Presentation might be misleading to female users * Even a light oud note can be polarizing to some noses Paris Corner's Khair is a clone of Gissah's Imperial Valley. It's a very unique scent combination, a hybrid fragrance that combines citrus and aromatic fougere DNA with oud. Yes, dark smoky stinky oud. On paper, this formula should be a trainwreck. In reality, this is an intriguing fragrance. A good blend of citrus, woody, herbal, spicy, musky and light amber aromas. The oud should be killing every other note. Instead, they blend harmoniously into the only oud fragrance I could possibly ever refer to as uplifting and refreshing. This leans quite masculine, probably too much so for some female users. The presentation might be misleading as it is the exact same one Paris Corner uses for the entire Khair line almost all of which lean feminine or unisex (Confection, Felicity, Fusion, Pistachio, Peach Delulu). So ladies, be aware of that oud note. It's a note that turns off some noses no matter how well it is used. For those that do enjoy oud, this is a great find. It's great for male users, performs well, and works for all seasons. Recommended.

Budget scent designers have come SO far... 10-15 years ago this level of quality would've been compared to Chanel. It smells like what would happen if there were a "Cologne" flanker to TF Ombre Leather! This is the type of Scent I was hoping to get from Maahir Legacy when I bought it recently... very fresh, but very full-bodied. It is in the same arena, but this stands as a leather scent. A FRESH leather scent. There's a bit of that underlying "band-aid" smell, like Gucci Guilty Absolute, but this is much much fresher. Update: wearing this all day today through the drydown and reapplying, I can't get past how similar it is to Tag-Him Uomo Nero, which smells like Tuxedo + Ombre Leather. To me, Khair would be the fresher "Cologne" counterpart to that, or Ombre Leather, but it's possibly redundant in a collection if you have all the others, which I do... Longevity is moderate to long-lasting, but it's a bit quiet after 5 hours or so. Tag-Him Uomo Nero is much louder. I don't understand why this isn't more people pleasing? I wore this around people who ALWAYS mention my cologne and they were all silent even though 2 of them were hugged up on my neck that night... In comparison, Salvo Elixir recently got 6 compliments the first night I wore it, even from strangers. People are weird. Anyway, I like this a lot, even if other people don't!!! The review from @bronstet below is literally perfect to explain this scent. Update: Smelled Hawas Fire today, and this does smell just like it.

I have this. For anyone who has smelled Hawas Fire, the dry down of Khair smells a lot like that. For those who want to know what Hawas Fire smells like, and if you are familiar with this, This is what Hawas Fire smells like, especially in the dry down. I have heard it mentioned that both fragrances I just mentioned here smell like Imperial Valley. I can't compare it to that since I have yet to experience Imperial Valley. If this, and Hawas Fire both smell like it, then I see a good case for a future fragrance purchase at some point. What I can say about this fragrance is that it has more of a leathery nuance to it when compared to Hawas Fire. Aside from that, these are the only differences I can pick up. While I do maintain this as being a unisex scent, due to the leather nuance of this fragrance, it leans more masculine in my opinion. I will edit this to let you know about sillage and longevity. I just got it in today. I am currently testing it. So far, so good. I will say that to me, this will work in all seasons, and it can be used for most situations. If it is versatility you want, this one delivers.

I love this scent profile so much, got a decant, the decant must have been from an older/un-reformulated batch as the projection and longevity was enormous and so well blended. I decided to pull the trigger based on the decant and I am devastated at how bad it is. Im going to give it some time to pull itself together but honestly this is almost as bad as CK fragrances in terms of longevity and how linear it is, its literally gone after 2 Hours which is barely enough time to go through the journey that its supposed to be. it stays on my clothing very very intimately for a further 2 hours giving it a longevity of 4 hours in total. I'll update in 2 months or so but its not looking good gents. Might have to stay away from this one and look elsewhere for a good Imperial Valley alternative.

These bottles are popping up in rack stores... just to be able experience the Imperial Valley DNA for not much money for us westerners, it’s well worth it. Imperial Valley has been the “IT” fragrance in the gulf region of the ME and for good reason. This is an oud that can be worn in any season, most situations (better choices for the gym, but in a pinch could do) which blows my mind. In the west, oud is seen as strictly cold weather appropriate, but not this fragrance. The identity juxtaposition of the scent makes it VERY addicting. The scent is fresh, sweet along with dark, slightly heavy. Something regal about it, but also casual. Exotic, yet familiar. Easily signature scent worthy in the west as it has quickly become mine. Get on the train before it’s everywhere here too.

This was a blind buy, and it was so worth it! A fantastic daily wear scent. Smooth and easy, with a quick dry down. Both somehow a clean fresh green scent, and dusty leather. The bottle itself is heavy and well made, the atomizer is very nice and sprays evenly even after I accidentally broke it. Looks fantastic in a collection. This scent is ridiculously long lasting. It routinely survives eight hour welding shifts and still leaves an impression on my skin, staying a clean dry oud scent. With a fantastic price for the quality and volume, I'll absolutely be purchasing this again once it runs out.

When I first got this it was literally disgusting....all I smelled was leather and Oud so I sprayed about 20 sprays, put it on the Shelf, and occasionally came back to it and spritzed a couple shots in the air to see if it had changed at all. 6 months later it smells completely different and it's one of my favorite fragrances....literally hated it when I first got it. Now it's light citrus with a slight spice with a leathery Musky woody amber and a touch of vetiver.... all with the perfect balance. The oud is very subtle. Flames. I absolutely love it. Pure masculinity in a bottle.

I came to say that when I first bought this it was a leather and synthetic mess. The only thing I could smell when I pulled it out of the box was on overwhelming and gross leather and oud notes. Sprayed it 20 times and put it back on the shelf for 6 months and just game back to it today. Wow.....this stuff turned into a completely different frag. I hate oud and leather when they are super powerful but now they're VERY subtle. This turned into a fucking BANGER. Its absolutely addicting and smells completely different than anything I have in my collection! I literally love it now.

Ok, I am a lady, and I do love me a unisex to masculine leaning green or blue frag. This to me, is a little masculine leaning, however it was a love at first sniff. It is very aromatic, green and woody, but I also get a hint of sweetness from the amber. Albeit, initially, it did give a bit of a petrol note, but after a few weeks the petrol has gone and it’s smooth and delicious. It definitely lasts eternally on me; I can still faintly smell it on skin after a shower and on clothing the next day minimum. This is a fav that gets regular use, by both myself and my son lol.

This scent screams "Alpla Male" ... holy crap. That agarwood / oud / leather combination is not going to be for everyone but it will definitely have you standing out from the crowd. Upon 1st spray I immediately get bergamont and agarwood. They linger there for a little while before it settles into the oud and leather base. Don't get much vetiver BUT I suspect it contributes to the uniqueness of this scent combination. This is for the confident and sophisticated man who does not take shit from no one.

Very strong davana, oud and leather notes. Smells herbal and medicinal due to the davana and oud, which I like. Definitely not for everyone, especially for people who are getting into fragrances. As for performance, for a freshie, this performs very well with strong projection and lasting longevity. It has an interesting bottle design comparable to those niche fragrances.

This is a fresh oud no animalic here. This has great overall performance and can be an all year scent. It opens peppery and citrus but as it dries down you get a real nice wood dry down. It kind of has an almost Noxema smell as it settles. Which is similar to shaving cream, but a little more woody. Blind buy, if you are an oud fan. But this is a great oud, no stink here.

10/10 This is a definite 10 for me and top 10 for life. So much I will buy back up bottles and surely will try Gissah Imperial Valley. "Sample before you buy" I tried $50 worth of samples (15 different hand picked samples) I knew from the first smell this was perfect for me. The bottle gets even better with time. LOVE IT

This is an update to my old review, it's been some months now, it still smells sort of the same, a lil less oudy. As I said before, it's a really good year round scent, niche like smell, citrusy-oudy with some leather, it's weirdly addictive to smell IMHO, my gf likes it a lot. Moved from a like to a love.

just got this yesterday and i tested both this and the OG on a test strip. i'm not fragrance expert but they both smell the same to my nose however the OG is slightly stronger, the scent pierces my nose more, and the OG also last longer. Will compare them again in a month after letting it "macerate".

I've had mind for over a year now and this is killing Hawas Fire. This is such an unique fragrance that everyone that has smelled it on me gives the most tasteful compliments I've ever received. It's the best niche cheap fragrance I've discovered.

I understand why some people might not like it but saying that this stinks like dogshit is wild, oud here is noticeable but the citrus and leather counter it well, it's a really balanced fragrance, very elegant and wearable year round IMHO

I tried Imperial valley today at the mall and now am obsessed. I'm going to pick up Khair and hope for the best. I never did buy this because I couldn't find it at a physical store. I ended up picking up Imperial Valley!

Nice leather-oud-citrus concoction. A bit medicinal but it definitely smells well blended and not synthetic. Definitely a cold weather scent though it could perform well in moderate heat with fewer sprays.

I'll cut to the chase...It's excellent and was a 6-8 hr scent with the first 3 being strong! You can wear this at the office or a gathering. Great choice, scent, and cost!

Love it right out of the box. I was hoping for a cheaper alternative to Sphinx Elixir and I actually like this better. Nice pressurized sprayer too.

Bright herbal green opening with a very medicinal but amazing oud, projects well for a few hours, lasts on skin nice. No complaints . 9.4/10

I layer this with a honey-scented lotion and it’s AMAZING. Goes from being masculine leaning to perfectly unisex.

Wow what a great fragrance. A must have for any collection

So this fragrance has gone through a lot for me. When I first found this fragrance I was still buying for fun and I had found it a local tj maxx for about 15-20 dollars. The notes looked interesting as I was getting more into “masculine” fragrances. After opening the bottle this was something I was 100% not a fan of. I’ve had this fragrance coming up on a year, I’ve tried trading it, selling it no one seemed to of wanted it. So it’s sat in the back of my collection for as long as I’ve had. After so long my father asked if I had a fragrance I don’t use that he could steal from me, and my mind immediately went to this fragrance. After I sprayed it on my hand and his I felt as if changed completely. Now that it’s fully maturated it’s nowhere near as synthetic smelling or harsh on the nose. It opens with a great bergamot note with a slight spicy woody starting point from the pepper and oud. As it dries down the leather really comes out to play and start smelling rather clean from the rosemary. The oud is never over bearing or stinky it just lingers around the development from opening to dry down. I’d give this fragrance a nice 8.4 now whereas before a solid 2. So this fragrance definitely needs a healthy amount of time to mature and develop to its full potential. But when it’s there it’s a lovely daily driver especially in the summer. This fragrance actually drove me to post my first review so if you’re reading this thank you and I know it’s rather long winded! Also I’d say she’s not a safe blind buy but if you find it as I did around that 15-20 price mark I’d grab it and let her sit for awhile. I’m sure it’ll grow on you at some point.

Get your blue star and red donkey balloons ready! Davana isn’t well represented in my collection, this is just my third featuring that note. In Reasons it’s buried deep in the mix and never makes it to my nose. In Ambre Chromatique it hop frogs over the incense and gives me a spooky, funeral home vibe. Here, for at least the first two hours, it’s the star and it smells like... (get your balloons ready) At Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights this year there is a Terrifier house. In one of the rooms, Art is holding a bottle of bleach in one hand and a box of salt in the other. If you’ve seen the movie you’ll know the scene. HHN loves to use fragrance in their houses to amplify the sensory impact. I would bet $50 that davana is the scent they used to emulate the bleach smell in the bleach room in the Terrifier house. So now, the opening of Khair brings back a super vivid memory of that and reads like bleach and salt to my nose. 🤷♀️ After a couple of hours on my skin this stunningly sweet oud and rosemary combo starts pushing the davana out of the way and it’s just gorgeous. I totally disagree that Khair is unsuitable for women. I think lavender is unsuitable for women. Who cares? No one. But seriously, wear what makes you happy regardless of how it’s gender coded. This bottle is less than a month old so I’m curious to see how this will evolve over time. Until then, I have a fantastic scent memory of HHN with my husband, followed by an oud note unlike any other in my collection. Edit for clarity: this smells nothing like actual bleach, just like the bleach room in the Terrifier house which didn’t smell like bleach either. 😂

This DNA is within the realm of a Paco Rabanne Black XS/Black XS L'Exces type scent, it heavily reminds me of scents like Armaf Italiano Nero and Rasasi Yazan. It has that kind of chocolate covered strawberry vibe to it. In this case it smells more like a mixed dried fruit accord than specifically strawberry or pineapple, but it does evoke the feel of those fruits in the background. It seems to have a bit of a Fahrenheit leather facet mixed with Black XS going on, while overall being very much airy and bright. It's a cousin to scents like Qaed Al Fursan, Rave Now, Johan B. Black, Shaghaf Men, Shawq, Dumont Nitro Platinum, Afnan 9PM Rebel. Overall however, this scent is much more office safe and not so densely sweet, it has a smoky oud and date accord in the back lingering behind a wall of fresh aromatics, mixed with that Black XS DNA. I would recommend this to any occasion and I believe it will come off new and unique to most people who don't know the DNA. But to some people I think this might come off a bit cheap, and almost like it's a Silver Scent Bogart type scent if applied to heavily. It's long lasting with moderate projection and smoke replaces the dense sweetness in some of the other's DNA. I have never smelled the original scent this is an inspiration of, but I'm now thinking they're all just twists. BTW, I like the Silver Scent dna. This also as a similar vibe to Dunhill Icon to me with the darker smoky aspects.

Just picked this up. Fresh from the bottle, I immediately get quite a bit of oudy/agarwood. I'm not picking up on any other notes listed above; they are quite lovely, though very intriguing. I'm curious to see what it will be like in a few weeks/months. For now though, it is pretty heavy right out of the gate with the agarwood. I would venture to say it does lean quite masculine. I do enjoy lots of these ME fragrances. This one can be had for pretty cheap from rack stores. Not quite blind buy worthy as I would definitely recommend getting your nose on this first before making a purchase. Overall not disappointed whatsoever. Update: I've decided this is terrible. I just honestly think I DESPISE oud. There's a certain type of really sharp bug spray kind of vibe going on here. I just cannot get myself to like this no matter what. Of course ymmv, but this is not bb worthy. Please get your nose on this first. This one is going into the garbage can.

Blind bought this today. Very good inspiration of Imperial Valley. Sophisticated fragrance that’s smooth and masculine. It’s citrusy, while floral and herbal notes tone down the Oud to make it cleaner fresher take on Oud. The Amber and leathery notes create a smoky and very slight creaminess. The Ambroxan and another musk kicks in a little later to create that animalic musky accord. It keeps the fragrance fresh. This seriously screams CEO. This is the style of fragrance a wealthy businessman would wear. The versatility is also quite surprising, as it never strays too far in any direction to make it suitable for any particular season. It can be dressed up or just worn casually. It’s a good fragrance and the performance so far is great. It’s not your usual mass appealing fragrance though, this one definitely has character. God bless you all!

A very basic yet intriguing scent. I never smelled Imperial Valley, so I couldn't say anything about how good of a dupe this is. Instead, but first I'll say that this is a safe blind buy, it's simple, yet it works well, the sillage is very good for the first 3-4 hours, and a lot of people have asked me what I was wearing, as the saying goes the simpler the better, 7.5/10, I recommend this as a fall/winter all-rounder.

Hawas Fire + Oud Just get Hawas Fire....longer lasting and better performance. Also smells better than this version. This is closer to original DNA for sure but Hawas Fire is all you need.

This is the third fragrance I've purchased that broadly reproduces the notes of Gissah's Imperial Valley (with which I have no experience). The other two are Blu Oud by Ahmed Al Maghribi and Ego the Falcon by Armaf. Don't bother trying Khair if you already own either of those two, since Khair is so similar in profile while underperforming them in different ways. Blu Oud smells nearly identical to Khair with the main difference being Blu Oud's impressive projection and sillage for the first several hours after only one or two sprays. Khair is only vaguely present as a skin scent after hour two. Repeated over-spraying throughout the day is just not how I roll, so Khair's (lack of) performance is... problematic. There are some differences in structure when it comes to comparing Khair with Ego the Falcon. The bone-dry, non-gourmand pineapple in Falcon's opening may be a deal breaker for some people, but I friggin' love it and actually prefer Falcon to either of the other two fragrances. Falcon also has excellent longevity with subtle hits of davana wafting off my clothes through the end of the day. It's not that Khair is bad , it's just not great .

I tested it and loved it. Bought the full bottle but now there is a cold metallic aspect I can't get over. I'm so mad at this bottle I wanna throw it away. I'm just going to regift it to someone I don't see often. It's a good basic day to day perfume, but there's just that annoying aspect unfortunately. Update: completely forgot about this bottle and several weeks later it smells closer to what I smelt in store. It does have to sit for a bit for that screechy synthetic aspect to go away. Maturation is definitely needed here. It eventually evens out and all the screechy elements are gone. It is a lovely aromatic sweet perfume and it does dry down leathery and oudh like but it's very pleasant on my skin. Good for all seasons and unisex too. Go for it!

when i was a kid sometimes during summer we would get these small bugs that would slowly crawl behind cupboards. when you would crush them you would instantly smell a specific smell. this smells exactly like that. crushed bugs. waste of money EDIT: 1 month later after maceration the crushed bug scent is a lot less noticeable, but still there. this actually might be a synthetic leather scent maturing. it could get better in 2 more months, so i will give it a shot, but jesus christ almighty straight out of the box it was unbearable! EDIT2: it is now 11 months later and the scent matured and is now really well blended. good projection. its really nice. it just had to mature for 10 months. recommend, especially when you can get this for $12!

First spray out of the box it smelled amazing. I thought I found a new favorite. 2 days later I went to put it on and it smelled like motor oil and leather. I thought wtf happened to the original smell? I still have no idea but I put it away for going on 3 months now and nothing has changed. It is very offensive and I have no idea why. I really wanted to like this so I am disappointed to say the least. At least it didn't cost an arm and a leg.

This has the least amount of attention among the Khair line, IMHO. It piqued my curiosity that I decided to order a decant. I also read the comments below and I felt I had to try this. Whew, I get an initial blast of what smells like Band-aids, somewhat medicinal. After a few minutes I get a citrus note mixed with an earthiness. It's a masculine scent for sure. I'm not a fan, although I'm sure this will appeal to others.

I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned this, but this smells like sorbolene cream/moisturizer. It’s ok, but not something I’d be excited to wear. Ok for the price considering I got it discounted for $40 Australian, but I probably wouldn’t pay any more for it.

Im sorry but this stinks!! I bought mine 6 months ago and have never wore it. I’ve come back to it after macerating and it smells the exact same. Stinks like dog 💩 do not waste your money you will be disappointed. Just an honest review

When i bought mine it really stunk but ive let it sit for about six months now the smell has gotten better and its really not that bad. Would i buy it again? I dont think so

The leather base note is extremely strong, smells synthetic and like burning rubber. I am not sure if it'll get better with time but, for now, I can't stand the smell.

Smells like someone force fed a cow used, burnt motor oil, then comes the cow patty, then someone scooped it up, added perfumers alcohol, bottled it up. Trifling scent! I wouldn't give this to my worst enemy. Trash can.... most likely had to condemn the landfill.

I bought this by accident - thinking it was the pistachio one. I immediately put it in the “no way” box (I am a woman who prefers feminine scent profiles, I can do unisex but that’s it): this is decidedly masculine (if you don’t believe in gendering perfumes I dare you to wear this as a woman 😂). My husband accidentally picked it up and I am not kidding when I say I almost jumped his bones 🙈 this smells so good on him! Must be a skin chemistry thing, but this is ultimate masculine sex appeal. Ever since my rather strong reaction he hasn’t put it down. The bottle he has (it moved to his cupboard obviously) is extremely strong and projects like no other (it has been sitting for a few months). Layered with anything in the angels share family (there are too many options to list them all, I think he used the Zara one) it’s insane. I strongly recommend this for a man! It might be my favorite perfume on him (over all his creed’s or tom ford’s or any of his other nice bottles).

First, the invigoratingly sharp top notes wake me up. Bergamot + Davana + Pepper (quite possibly all natural) is a combo to remember. Then, soon after, the opening dies down and a long revery of fresh yet relaxing oud begins. This fragrance possesses a strong and distinct oud note that still remains balanced and wearable throughout the wear, thanks to a well-blended formula. The leather accord doesn't overwhelm the oud, the rosemary is the perfect touch, and there is no need for rose or other florals here. Most importantly, Khair is not at all smoky. Oud in perfume does not need to be associated with a smoke accord. Many users (myself included) prefer low-smoke oil diffusion methods and this can (should) be echoed in perfume compositions.

Never smelled Gissah imperial valley but this “inspired by” smells very nice. Reminds me kind of like a more likable “Gucci guilty Absolu” with fruity citrus's and made fresh. Never smelled anything like it. Dare I say a “fresh summery leather scent”. I almost get a red fruit roll up vibe mixed with leather in the air. This stuff is solid. Up close it smells medicinal though. Kinda like how “Gucci guilty Absolu” is. But in the air this stuff shines. Not the biggest fan of oud but I can handle this one.

I bought this because I LOVE Felicity, and Confection. Women, this leans masculine, but you can totally wear this and steal the show. However, my husband has stolen this fragrance--and I'm grateful he did. This smells SOOOOO good on him. This is very oudy (but not dark), very green, the pepper does not add spice--it smells like a forest, just not a pine forest. This smells more expensive than the $18 I bought it for at Burlington.

Great winter freshie for men. Lots of oud brightened up nicely. It created a wall of projecting sillage where sprayed. I get vibes of Ferragamo Intense Leather and Bright Leather, Coach Black, Sceptre Amazonite, and Redken brand hair paste for men, Velvet Oud D&G, Bvlgari Falkar

This is one of the fragrances I use to give a solid base to fruity and floral scents that are a bit too sweet. When the delicate fruity and floral scents have melted away I am left with a warm, oud skin scent. Unisex for me

Out of all the Khair range, this one is the only one that I would say, doesn't lean more to the feminine side.. it's got a lovely leathery side to it, and having left it to sit for a few months, guys, it's a nice fragrance
