Bengal

One of the best and most luxurious evening scents; this is perfect (in moderation - it’s very strong. If you’re going to be in a confined space I recommend now more than 3 sprays) for a fancy evening event, a wedding, some gala etc. It’s where I use it the most often. It’s probably too strong for a lot of daytime activities, unless it’s the middle of winter and you apply literally one spray - it’s enough. Every time I wear it, I get tons of compliments and questions about what I’m wearing. People really seem to love this one. I would say it leans masculine, but women can totally pull it off - my wife loved it so much on me that I got her her own bottle for her birthday. It’s the perfect scent for when you want to feel confident and powerful, it really complements the entire ensemble when wearing a good suit, a nice classy watch, the whole spiel. It suits that vibe, I think wearing this in sweatpants or joggers with a puffer jacket would be really out of place, like you borrowed your dad’s perfume. It’s definitely a grown up scent, mostly would recommend to the 30+ audience. It could be “office” safe in the specific case that you are literally the CEO or board member of a big company and suited up for a big meeting, but once again, in that case just one spray or it will come across as too much. I wear this sometimes for work when I have a big important meeting, and need to feel extra confident and powerful. It really gives off a “boss” energy for sure. I first got this at a niche fragrance shop in-person years ago now, loved it so much I got it on the spot and overpaid like crazy - but it still ended up being worth it. These days you can sometimes find it on discounters for a third of the price I paid, but honestly it would even be worth double what I paid. One of the all time greats, and very unknown. People talk about Baraonda and Kutay, but never mention this, and I think this clears both in every way, especially at the discounted price.

I received a sample of this and had never heard of it. I decided to spray it on paper and was impressed at its quality, so I proceeded try it on skin. I had no idea of the price point of the juice or any of its notes. I quickly picked up on a rich and dark leather note. It seemed like a very well done niche quality animalic type of men's fragrance. Shortly after the opening notes, the rose and patchouli appeared and the fragrance began to morph into a more masculine but still gorgeous version of one of my favorites, Kayali Elixir, 11, which I believe may now be discontinued. This is fantastic! Bengal is earthy and mysterious...unisex, but unless you're a woman who is comfortable in rich, dark scents that straddle the gender divide, you may find it a bit too masculine. I personally would wear this, for me, when I'm in the mood for Kayali Elixir, which is getting difficult to find. I realize this has a higher price point, but at least it's obtainable and not discontinued. It's very smooth, rich and high quality. It seems that a little would go a long way.

Amazing leather fragrance. The davana creates a slightly herbal accord which is softened by citrus creating a profile that commands presence. I do not get the same scent profile as Baronda, Kutay or Blue Oud (have all of them) and this is distinctly a leather fragrance. Great performance and above average silage. Evening wear and masculine leaning. Shukran Habibi!

Baraonda for a more "experienced" nose. Love both, but when I feel like having something a bit more funkier I will go with this one. Not a blind buy, but one of the best kept secrets out there. Don't get it, as I don't want the price to go up.

I am shocked that you are writing about fragrance here. it's a smoky, leathery fruity fragrance, with prunes at the start. what unwashed dogs ), chemicals, peanuts))))) . sory, either you are idiots or your imagination is too perverted 🤣🤣🤣
