Dhanal Oudh Nashwah

Good Lord this perfume made me make a real comeback in my olfactory memory, about 7/8 years ago I bought a bottle of oud oil from AL HARAMAIN called "Dehn al oud Prachinpuri" it is supposed to be a real agarwood oil from Thailand (from the province of Prachinburi) it was sold in a blue velvet box in a 60ml glass bottle, I remember a unique oud smell but unfortunately it had a rancid vinegar smell behind and I thought the oil had just turned and I threw the bottle away because it was unusable, it is exactly the same oud used in this perfume but without the vinegar smell (thank God), I immediately smelled something familiar on the first spray but I didn't recognize it right away because the perfume is blended with other notes. Concerning the fragrance I smell at the opening a fresh and humid tobacco note that it becomes like a dark chocolate with a slight sweet note (dry honey) and a touch of salt , nothing sweet like Honey Aoud from Montale, I asked my wife what she smells in this fragrance and she immediately said "dark chocolate" You can find in France a range of chocolate bars created by Lindt called "Lindt Excellence" it mixes chocolate with particular notes such as "dark chocolate/salted caramel, dark chocolate/wasabi, etc. .. to me this perfume can be in the same spirit like a 70% dark chocolate/honey. Some may find this scent a bit animalic, but there i's nothing fecal like Indian or Cambodian oud. I recommend this perfume just for the olfactory experience, it is truly something unique, I can't rate this perfume because I have never worn it outside, but I absolutely don't regret my purchase. PS: Fun fact @FreddyK said it smells like a horse, and it's true if you think about that you can smell like the warm skin of a horse, my wife and my children also can feel that, crazy fragrance.

I'm a big fan of Rasasi and Middle Eastern fragrances in general. I own and appreciate Tasmeem, Faquat Lil Rijal, Yazan, Al Wisam Day and Evening, Hawas, Zebra, Al Yuqawam (Tobacco Blaze, Ambergris Showers too) Rasha, Daarej, Entebaa, Shuhrah and countless Al Haramain and Al rehabs as well as others. However, I'm really disappointed with Dhanal Oudh Nashwah. It's nice. It's pleasant but all it really is can be covered by a can of Lynx Oud and Dark Vanilla. The Lynx cost me £6. The Rasasi cost me over 30. The Lynx is slightly sweeter, perhaps a block of Dairy Milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate but that's really about it in terms of fragrance and all measures of performance. Revision 25th March 2018 I've been giving this a good go. Trying it in various situations. Although the thrust of my initial thoughts above are still mainly true I do feel that I was being somewhat harsh. In truth it's obvious that this fragrance did not wow me when I had expectations of being wowed. That wasn't fair to it. After really giving it a proper try out numerous times I'm inclined now to appreciate the quality more than I previously was. I guess this happens a lot when someone starts out. The weather is also a fair bit warmer than my first experiences with this Rasasi and that is reflected in the improved performance that I'm getting from it now. I'm picking up more smoke and it's a wonderful note. Not like something cheap burning but a good log fire. It's darker and deeper than I first regarded it. Glad I stuck with it because now I get it in a way that I was perhaps too ignorant too not so long ago.

Its a pretty good fragrence, esp at this price point. I agree with some of what others have said, its mos def in the realm of TV. Not as hot as TV because your replacing the T & the V with Oud, and honey. Its also not quite as sweet as TV, but close. Its a honey bomb though for sure, so be aware of that. The Oud is not all that discernible, other than giving the deep and dark backbone to the fragrance. It is there though, and I do not find it skanky at all. Well blended scent. What I get is Honey, Oud, Nutmeg, and Amber. It has amazingly strong sillage, I was overwhelmed by the honey when I first tried it this morning, and washed off with some of my Sandalwood & Oatmeal soap. Rubbed the bar of soap over the area I sprayed, and was still getting wafts of it that I found myself enjoying. I was going to try to sell it before that experience, but now its a keep, and a like. May become a love at some point. Update: Layered it with TV one spray of each, and yea...its pretty damn nice. Definitely going to be doing that again on a cold rainy day, or in the winter. Do not be suspicious of the price. it does not smell like a synthetic or plasticy alcohol blast, and I have smelled some of the other cheap Arabians that definitely fall into that category recently. So yea, maybe save yourself some $$, and get a bottle of this, and a 10ml decant of TV. You will be set. ;) @Tiger84, I get not leather at all, but this is my impression from the first day, and first couple of sprays.

I have gone to an online shop yo buy dhanal oud ruwah but It was out of stock. Looking their sister i decided to buy this one instead ruwah. And i think i have made a good decisión. Nashwah is totally different yo ruwah. The opening of both fragances is dirty. On ruwah se can smell a very dirty and animalic oud, almost like the manure smell; but on nashwah the dirty vibe isndifferent. Here i find like a wet tobacco smell, Deep and strong, similar to the tobacco un arabi cana by kolmaz. I can feel the oud too but at the background. The dry down un nashwah is gorgeus. It is a very sweet leathery oud smell, very close to the sweet tobacco smell, for me like a bit more animalic tobacco vanille bu Tom Ford vibe. The performance is great according to the probé of the perfume. It is not a beast but his great linvity (more than 6 hours) and his moderate projection is more than aceptable. I think nashwah performs better under cold temperaturas and maybe with wet ambiente. I think It is weareable at day and at night because of his not strong sillage. I would recommend this perfume to all Who Live the sweet scents... It really worths the price!! Scent: 8.5 Longevity: 8 Sillage: 6 Quality/price: 10 Versatility: 6 Originality: 8 Global: 8

What a wonderful Oud - I've been looking for exactly this one for as long as I wanted An Oud scent and here it is - this is what I've Allways wanted an Oud should be. The honey and nutmeg blends so well together that I hardly can't smell the one from the other. It's heavy and a tiny bit skanky at the first spray but settles down within 30 sec to a tobacco, oud, leather accord and hold this the next many hours. It gets a bit sweeter and more pleasurable but not a super sweet Just balanced. It seems very well blended and I'm surprised that they have been able to pull this off at this price. It's up there with the best of Niche Ouds it's packaging is top notch and super stylish all the way. And yes it has some resemblance to TF TV but for a whole other price tag. I will recommend this to anyone that is into ouds - I will try the other two in the line. Though there's rose in I believe in one of them (I don't like rose). Dahn al Oudh Nashwah has convinced me that I will have to try the other offerings. Presentation is a 10/10 Projection & longevity is a 10/10 The scent to me is 10/10 A scent I will get back to for sure - Great work Rasasi :)
