Shumoukh Al Ghutra

This is a great and complex fragrance for the ones who loves oud, smoke, incense, mixed with interesting apple and vanilla, in the limits of niche aromas. Not an easy perfume to appreciate for the ones who only like designer or easy please-all perfumes. I think of it as a personal pleasure, focused in more experienced noses, who appreciate a complex and dynamic fragrance, with a long lasting life. I don't see it as a compliment getter ("wow, you smell wonderful, what do you have?" kind of compliments), but something to put you apart from the rest of the crowd, and maybe get comments like "what perfume do you have? smells really interesting". Totally male for my taste, because is not an easy going opening, and because of the leather, smoke (even though is not listed here) and the combination of apple / vanilla. The first 2-3 hours you are projecting continuously at probably 3 to 5 feet, BUT the last part (vanilla, some smoke, and woods) last for days on clothes (6-8 sprays). If you want something really interesting, well constructed, more like a self taste, and have experience with oriental fragrances, I recommend it. No one would feel uncomfortable with it, and I will use it in informal reunions with friends, on informal days at the office, or for some occasions where I want to distinguish myself from the crowd, without being formal.

Smells spectacular opens with voilet fruity spicy apple woodiness then transitions to a very addictive powdery vanillia leather dry down this lasts for days you can spray it on skin then forget and the next day you'll wonder what smells so good this is amazing best leather fragrance and overall one of the best fragrances could be worn anytime especially for the night out 10000/10

For me, I consider this a masterpiece from this house. a million dollar scent. its supreme and loud centered leather scent. Somewhat it is Musky-Fresh-Smokey-Sweet-Leather composition. I don't know why some of guys voted similiar to axe dark temptation. to my nose, honestly they don't.

Maybe all perfumes are both good and bad. I can smell like burnt tire on this one after a while. It does have tire marks in the design. I would even say that a perfume smells different depending on where on the body it is sprayed. Pair it with Encre Noire.

Must have hidden gem! If you want to wear something with solid performance and niche and middle eastern. I don’t want to promote it here much to prevent them from changing the formulation :) Definitely one of the specials in my collection.
