Rumz Al Rasasi 9453 Pour Elle

This is mere perfection, just breathtaking for me! The only negative thing I can say is that, this is apparently no longer in production anymore? But the scent: Imagine the purest, brightest thick honey mixed with tarry salty liquorice. Nothing else. No smoke, no leather, no barn, and no chemicals neither to me. Just pure, heady delicious with sooo good, but tact performance too. Are you interested?...so.. maybe it would be good to say a little word of warning too; I am Finnish, I grew up with Salmiakki, salty liquorice candy, made with ammonium chloride...

This reminds of a delicious liquorice honey praline vanilla candy that gets its aromatic touch from a mint filling. There’s a tiny medicinal feel that's in the background. I like it cause there's nothing like it in my extensive collection. Moderate sillage and longevity. I could see how this wouldn't fit everyone's taste.

If you looking for this one, try Lattafa Teriaq (ordinary). It was voted down for similarities, I don't understand why. When I put them side by side this one is cleaner, airier and simpler, but very similar in my opinion.

hmm.. hard to make head or tail of it...sorry about the dad joke. It's a bit controversial to me, this scent, not sure if I love it or hate it yet :) the notes seem to be clashing from up close but very yummie from the air. Sweet and salty kind of mixed and also moist and dry at the same time. Will see if the jury will be out once I finish my sample off.

This was a blind buy that I had made based on positive reviews, and a promising note breakdown . Unfortunately, this fragrance was EXTREMELY medicinal and rather synthetic smelling. I was hoping to get some of the sweeter and warmer notes that are listed, but all I got was medicinal chemicals.
