Mukhallat Al Oudh

This is my second review for Rasasi's Mukhallat Al Oudh as I've done a complete change of opinion with this fascinating fragrance. After initially not being able to get on with it, I gave it to my mum and she subsiquently smelt amazing. Over the next few months I became enamoured with her tantalising trail and thought it time to retry it again myself. The harmonious blend is so perfect that no one note is detectable alone, it all just works together as a symphony of perfection to become a new unique scent in its own right. It's carnal, musky, sexy but without being dark or smokey as it remains clean and almost soapy smelling. It's what I would imagine the freshly washed clothes of a classy seductress like Dita Von Tease to smell like. It still has an arousing burgundy-red blood note to it (as I mentioned in my previous review) but it's so delectable and mouth watering, it must be akin to what humans smell like to vampires. The quality, projection and silage is exceptional and is up there with the likes of Amouage and Montale, both whom have Arabian fragrance roots of superb quality. It's a concentrated perfume oil, so it thrives and shouts from your pulse points to synchronise with your body heat and life force. Sometimes you need the right time, conditions, maturity, circumstances or state of mind to fully appreciate a fragrance. The moment for me to embrace Rasasi's 'Mukhallat Al Oudh' as my now signature scent was now.

I can't specify notes separately, but this is one of the best mukhallat attars I have ever had. Fresh florals, musky and powdery type. However, it's not woody or typically oudh type. Having sharp opening but not the one that causes headache or effects nose. It's very sweet floral scent with some hints of salt which shown as aquatic notes (maybe). It's a good mukhallat. You can't separate notes as they work all along together. Longevity is great on cloths but I don't know why some attars don't stay much on my skin (wrist), maybe it'll work better on other people. On my wrist I can only smell it about an hour, than a very light smell of it comes from my skin which fades after sometime and i smell nothing. I didn't ask anyone, maybe my nose get along with its scent and other people may feel it. Projection/Silage is good, trail that it leaves in the air is love. I keep returning to this, first I used it in 2014 or 15. At that time, it was my signature scent, than after that I bought it again in 2017 and now in 2024 bought it again. Its really lovely scent. You can wear it in any weather and on any occasion. Don't know about others, but for me its unisex.

Bought Mukhallat Aloudh blind just by seeing a you tube review on it the reviewer made this fragrance sound amazing. I ordered one bottle and when I recieved my package the company had included a scent strip just in case the scent wasn’t for me. I was shocked at the beauty of this fragrance it comes with a glass stick dabber and the rose and geranium sing harmoniously together. I will be trying out more attar oils from this house I’m so excited I will be buying back ups for sure. This attar oil is a real gem and reminds me of how Arabic women smell as they glide past looking and smelling amazing. I would recommend this oil and it sells for a great price point (*☻-☻*) Edit: bought two back ups don’t want to be without this beautiful fragrance it has a wonderful rose that’s jammy and the geranium is quite lovely. This is definitely unisex I’d love to sniff this on a mans chemistry I wonder how lovely it would smell. It’s such a delicious elegant concoction I love it so much.

A lovely perfume, either I am anosmic to this or it is an old bottle, I can't really smell it much and there doesn't seem to be any sillage. It smells quite sweet and there is a really unique sweetness to it - something woody about it I think. I am new to oriental oils of this nature or Arabian oils so I don't quite know how to describe this. It is however very pleasant and not at all intrusive. A skin scent for me, but apparently that is normal with Rasasi. It layers well with Chanel 19 poudre and also other fragrances so it is not at all overbearing or in any way offensive. I would prefer it be stronger and have some sillage but I guess that comes with the territory with Rasasi. I guess I will just have to enjoy it myself :) Edit: Apparently I am the one who cannot smell this. According to my husband, it is strong and can be smelled from quite a distance away. Damn my anosmia!

It's a very clever blend - both interesting and well balanced. There's lots of musk, but I can't get past the creamy, praline and subtle sea notes which put me off. There's an interesting irony blood note which lurks throughout that is subtly tangy that it's almost mouth watering. It has an 80's powerhouse fragrance element to it, but one which has been calmed against a soft cashmere sweater kinda smell. The initial blast had me hovering over the 'dislike' button, but the dry down becomes tamed and calm. I think my problem is that although it is an Arabian fragrance, it is very Western smelling and makes me think of classic Estee Lauder fragrances. I'm sure it's comforting to some but not to me. Update: I gave it to my mother and she loves it. I works so well on her.
