This is the scent i used to smell at my Grandmother when i was a child. This is a very butiful rose With ambergris though on me there is no Smokiness ..superb quality as all Oils i own from this house. Now im a 37 yo man my grandma came from iraq she is very old now bless her soul. And the question is if a man can pull this off...at the projection i get a faint rose scent but a majestic rose very pure and butiful that doesnt scream in any way. This is a gentle parfum but present . So.....yep it is indeed unisex and i add sexy becouse i feel it hints me it makes me imagin ...thanks. Enjoy.

smoke, yes, you betcha. this is a fragrance oil, so I like that about it, this is my first time trying it, or for that matter anything from Swiss Arabian. a fascination with oud brought me here. every time I smell oud in something I think "oh, so that's oud." and then I smell oud in something else and am a bit surprised at how different it is. the bottle is very regal looking. nice on the dressing table. Update: I love this a lot. it took a while to warm up to it, but now, I just crave it. a good incense smell, and the rose and oud are wonderful.

Ambergris and oud, tinged with smoke. I detect a faint rose, drenched in salt water and dried by the campfire. The oud is not the cheesy kind, more like a resiny incense unlit; and the ambergris is what rounds the fragrance and makes it more refined. The bottle is nice and the stopper has a wand that makes application easy. Great product for the price.

the best least expensive oud out there; smoke and barnyard but without the sour piss smell on the top then dries down with rose; deep, rich and lovely

I like this okay. It smells a bit like the base of Kashkha without the greens/citruses on top. It’s kind of ambiguous soapy with a hint of rose, leading into a B.O. type smell later. I do smell saltiness, but keep trying to smell the smokiness so many keep describing. In the drydown, there is a sort of sour note that could be a version of an oud/musk smell--almost a bit like b.o., but I don't really find either a typical oud, or a typical ambergris smell in this...which is disappointing. Based on this and Kashkha I’d say Swiss Arabian is not very impressive.
