Ozbek

21. september 2015 i ́ve been sorting my bottles and have discovered that i have this fragrance both in EDT and Extrait. I have never ever trid this before, i only know the designer but never managed to try ny of his creations. The review is for wrist test from a brand new EDT spray bottle, freshly unsealed and talen out of it ́s box by me. YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME! Such a hideous bottle, poorly done by the way, contains SUCH a gorgeous jasmine-hyacint-honey bomb!!! At first i was sceptical and thought it was no good at all, but thenn "WHAM!" it started to bloom and develop. I have to be honest, i have yet rarely seen such a beautiful combo of jasmine and hyacint, it smells sooooo natural, so intoxicating, im head over heels! It ́s like im smelling of a linden honey, no kidding. So fluid, delicate, yet very potent. I want to dress in white and wear this fragrance. The sillage is quite heavy and lasting power is great! No retro at all, very much nowdays and of a niche monoscent quality! Would love to try EDP as well UPDATE: I have tried the extrait as well on my other wrist, The difference is significant. The extrait is all about honeyed freesia and peach at first, very thick and heady. I wasn ́t even enjoying it in the opening notes, but then the jasmine saved it all. It is still more syropy than the EDT and very sweet (the way the honey is sweet and melting in your mouth). I do not think i will wear Extrait often if ever will, but the EDT is fabulous!!!

Dear Mr Ozbek.. if you are reading it- perhaps.. no .. thank you for this amazing fragrance! It's stunning! I think every woman who feels 100% woman should buy it! Even if it was created in 1995 it's so...fresh and beautiful...it's magnificent! Here is the thing I am 100% I know it from Sacks...I have a problem to navigate- what perfume smells like this... I am sure someone have copied or just got formula from Ozbek. Sisley? Aerin... I can't visualize now.. but I am 100% sure right now someone is selling same formula in different bottle. 150% more than what I have paid. It's so interesting.. I was thinking about purchase it... I just can't remind.. what perfume it is. I am sure I know it its 100% same formula.. to what I have had before in my hands... unless ... someone sent me fake scent- instead... real one...someone just put modern scent to my oil...I am sure I know it....I would be sad if that would happen. But the thing is mine.. is oily... I doubt It's...like this in Sacks.

O. is all about honey. There are florals listed in the pyramid, but what I get is the strong, linear honey note. It's a photo realistic honey, straight from the jar. O. smells opulent, as many honey frags do, there's an innate smoothness to that sweet note. Sillage and lasting power are average. O. could be work safe if applied lightly. The perfume is somewhat unisex. There is a resemblance to Caroline Herrerra's honey scent, and for some reason O. reminds me of Alien. Must be that jasmine note ... I happen to like honey perfumes, and O. is a fine example of this particular type of fragrance. The minaret shaped bottle is an unusual design, and would make a fine addition to a perfume collection.

Thanks for the review gtabasso, sounds divine and I ordered a mini. Also, just to let you know, I found the 1.7 oz on Amazon (1 bottle left) for $50 which seems like a good price. Looking forward to checking it out. Edit: 4.14 Testing a splash bottle: Rifat Ozbek is a heavy, honeyed jasmine which comes across like tuberose. That said, this scent is also a little indolic but still wearable. Better suited to cool spring days rather than the height of the summer. Two decades after creation, my first encounter, and I found a 90s vintage scent I can wear. Will decant this splash sample because I’d like to test it with a spray. I really like this perfume.

I have purchased it because of my passion for Islam religion. I love islamic architecxture I collect arabian oils perfumes. When I saw this pretty bottle...its my identity and respect for amazing part of history...and amazing oriental art and architecture. Because I am perfume freak of course I have to have it in my collection. NO I dont really coleect bottles.. this one is the unique exemption towards by colection. A lot of love to women who used to use it. A lot of respect for amazing Islam and minarets... from Middle east.
