Flamenco Extrait de Parfum

After testing a full sample, I can only say: yes, this is a fruity leather perfume done right. I don't know most of the perfumes appearing in the "This perfume reminds me of" area, but I know Cuir Infrarouge, Oud Maracuja and Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst and Flamenco Extrait is different from each of them: fruity but not really sweet (more like fresh raspberry, not a raspberry marmalade), powerful but not nauseous or headache-inducing, with a touch of suede and very little oud. My skin is a challenge for every perfume, but this one completed the challenge successfully, with 11 hours of total wear time and a significantly noticeable projection (probably 3 or 4 meters away, judging by my life partner's comments, who was in another room and noticed the fragrance easily). Will I repurchase it? Yes, for sure. Will I buy a backup bottle immediately? Not really, the price point is not very handy for my everyday budget, but I can save for a new bottle in the future. 10/10 anyway!

This is the quintessential Wedding scent. Basically a Classy, fruity, effervescent raspberry scent. It wafts in the air where ever you walk. People notice and make comments all the time. And it lasts for literally days on clothes. I was at a wedding and I went a little heavy of the sprays. After about 7hrs or so, I felt like it frag had died down. It was just nose blindness because - 2 days later I am unpacking my luggage at home and I can clearly smell the Flaminco on my suit; which is in my suitbag! TOP TOP notch performance. The only negative I will say is that it is linear and in the drydown after about 6hrs or so - you will notice this oily, the hot tar pavement at a gas station type of property to it. So the scent itself, for pure enjoyment, is only about an 8/10. But as something to wear to smell amazing when you go out -- its Unbeatable. The bottle and presentation are also top notch. Its worth its price.

This perfume was made for the intense, the hysterical, the gloriously argumental souls — the kind who love too loudly, feel too deeply, and will never apologize for it. It’s loud, potent, and unapologetically alive. The opening hits like emotional thunder, then softens into something rich and obsessive — a scent that clings to your skin and clothes like a memory that refuses to fade. **It’s not for the meek. It’s for those who walk into a room and rearrange the atmosphere** The performance is divine — long-lasting with an eternal, haunting sillage. The saffron burns beautifully beside the rose, while a whisper of leather hums in the background, elegant yet dangerous. The oud and florals give it depth, mystery, and a touch of darkness. I truly love it. My brother brought it back from his trip to Spain — and honestly, it feels like he bottled a storm and handed it to me.

A Beautiful creation I must say. On my skin I was able to feel the raspberry note mixed with the saffron and rose top notes blending together to create a beautiful veil that was subtle, gentle and pleasant. On my skin the development of the heart and base notes was incredibly subtle. I was able only to feel the sweetness and musky side of the fragrance. Strong longevity. Strong sillage. For me it performed as a sweet fragrance, not gourmand. Good for cool months, best worn during the night but during the day I would wear in strategic points. On my skin the raspberry note was the predominant one, making me feel like a tiny little fairy came to me and sprinkle me with sugar covered raspberries to smell sweet and edible the entire day. The raspberry note did not smell synthetic at all but instead (in my opinion) juicy, provocative and even mouthwatering.

The Saffron note in this version is amplified, offering a natural, smooth, slightly leathery touch, while Oud from Alhambra enriches the base, making this version a standout in the collection. The sweetness of Raspberry, Saffron, Jasmine, and Orange Blossom is perfectly balanced by the woody depth of Oud and Cedarwood. As it dries down, the fragrance becomes warm, ambery, and musky. It boasts above-average projection and longevity. Housed in a ruby-red bottle symbolizing passion, love, and energy, this scent embodies the fiery spirit of Spanish flamenco and the intensity of molten lava—sensual and seductive, this is love captured in a bottle.
