Cullinan Diamond

Beautiful scent, lasts a while. Very classy and elegant. It can be masculine but leans more on the feminine side. I would recommend wearing to a wedding or special occasions, that’s how special I feel it is. It’s subtle and present all at the same time. Received so many compliments recently.

This fragrance sets the scene of a romantic night near the sea...the scent of sand, roses, wood all together in a soft cream and black pepper note. Incredible and luxurious scent.

A bit similar to Amouage Enclave

Update: After observing it for a few days in different climates, to me, it definitely leans more on the masculine side. BTW, it lasts almost 12-18hrs. It opens with an eye weakening naturally fresh, crispy sharp pepper, but not any pepper. More of 'green bell peper'. I thought it would be disappointing, but its quite an intriguing pepper. I wasn't put off, and i wanted more. However, within the first 5 minutes or so that green sharpness starts to lessen in intensity, and I'm not sure if its the Pepper and Oris that begin to form a leathery note. Its a luxurious creamy soft nappa leather feel and the scent is definitely softened with the velvety rose petals (Cashmere) and sweetened with a hint vanilla but with the amber density. Nothing synthetic here. Its an alluring buttery rose floral (but not floral alone), deliciously aged woodsy, and soft musky spiced Oriental. To me, as a woman, I feel it leans slightly more masculine. Probably due to the peppery kick. I do like it a lot. It would be a "soft", playful scent for a man, and a bit deep "serious" scent for a woman. Its not flirty or playful for a woman. •Would I wear it? Sure. Where? An evening gala/serious event (not a fun charity event either), or important boardroom meeting with prospective investors. Not an everyday office fragrance. IMO its just too heavy. •Could I see my husband wearing it? Yes. Where? Anywhere really. Office, to play golf, etc. I really like this one, as with pretty much anything Thameen offers. However, Royal Sapphire is my easy go to. Hey, in a world filled with (yes gorgeous) MFK's BR540 (but a tad overdone) Thameen is a nice change of pace. ^__^

Very sophisticated oud/rose, with a touch of peppery spice to shift unisex, if slightly masculine. Strikes a very similar balance to ELdO’s 500 Years, though this one is a bit less sharp and easier to wear throughout the day. I know I know, they don’t mention oud ... but a rose oud by any other name, you know? I appreciate their integrity not to make false claims. as those other ouds are synthetic anyhow - or perhaps they’re just avoiding backlash to the note, seen as too sharp or challenging. Certainly this is smooth, posh, impressive and delightful, but the price is a bit high given all the other options.
