Absolutely STUNNING!!! There is no rose listed in the notes, but I definitely pick up on something that at the very least gives the impression of rose, but it’s not a strong in-your-face rose, it merely serves to complement the oud. As such, it is my now favorite oud “rose”, replacing Dusita’s Montri (I’ve yet to try Oudh Infini). This composition is more feminine than the notes would lead you to believe, I’d personally say it is unisex leaning feminine, though a man could certainly pull this off too! Perhaps it just goes more rosy/floral on my skin than it does on most others. It also has a really nice subtle spice element that is super addictive. Performance is not just excellent-it is perfect. The longevity and throw are both out of this world, BUT, it is never *too strong*, too thick, cloying or suffocating. It has an almost airy quality to it, but it’s certainly not weak either. It’s just right, the kind of perfume that will not offend or bother, but you will be able to smell it all day and on your clothes, well into the next, and anyone within your “personal space bubble” will be able to smell jt, and beyond that people will be able to catch whiffs of it, but only those who get within an intimate distance of you will truly experience it at its full strength, which is exactly how I like it ;) If it weren’t so expensive, this would be one of my most-used daily “signatures” (the closest things I have to that anyway haha) but until I manage to obtain some back-up bottles, I will sadly have to restrain myself and use it fairly sparingly. It is THAT good! I also might add that both the bottle and box are absolutely STUNNING, and perfectly befitting of the gorgeous intoxicating juice within. Treat yourself to this, you will not regret it. Especially if you love a QUALITY, genuine but wearable oud. Classy and sophisticated, yet exotic. Ugh, just perfect!

This is most potent juice from Widian black series. To me it smells classy, opulent and old school, like a library room in centuries old mansion. Definitely a special occasion, not for everyday wear, and you must be dressed up, especially if you're under 30. Rocking it with t-shirt would be almost as ridiculous as walking in snorkeling mask and speedos at the party where everyone wearing tuxedos. It is definitely unisex, with first hour leaning slightly toward feminine, but rest of the time more toward masculine side. It lasts 12+ hours on my skin. First 2 hours projection and sillage are enormous, next 2 hours heavy, and another 5-6 hours moderate. Be careful with dosage - it could be headache inducing and offensive to some. Wear it to office only when you coming to inform your boss you're quitting. After reading one of reviews below, I should add - it is NOT arabian style perfume, more like Europe meets Turkish tradition. So, if you come to it expecting to be punched in the nose with aoud, spanked with roses, and sprinkled with spices, you could be disappointed and miss its beauty.

what a gorgeous scent here. Sandalwood is die for. Musk, cinnamon, cedar wood, incense...all blended to PERFECTION. This was worth the $240 I paid because a house like this knows there are fragrance connisours like me who demand the best. Not at first of course, my collection didn't happen over night, it's taken awhile and thousands of frags have been smelt. I have lots to learn, but I do know a quality fragrance and a good blend from one that's not. This is. It's in my top 5 best smells ever and highest quality ever. Try it, but I warn you, if you like any of the notes listed, you will want this. I get more complements with this than I do wearing Aventus. Very versitile while it does wear best in the colder months, but if you work in a cold office like me, who cares. Wear it. A+++ @matty64. Lucky scent.com or Oswald.com are the only retail places, other wise the grey market my friend. It's so worth it, get a sample from lucky scent first though

Niche alllll the way. this is the type that leaves that shiny oil spot for awhile after you spray it. Lasts very long. But we are here for the smell and yessss it is amazing. As a 33yr old male, who enjoys the masculine oud wood intense type frags, I find this to be a little femm, but i absolutely regret selling this bottle. I would love my significant other wearing this tho. It is a true original masterpiece in regards to it smelling like nothing else out there. I enjoy the smell so much i put it my luckyscent sample order to reminisce the intoxicating aroma it has. Its very addictive. A little sweet, dry, dark inky incense but manages to have beast mode longevity and not be cloying. I highly recommend this fragrance for the smell, quality and longevity to anyone who enjoys ANY of the notes listed... on skin this stuff is a commitment tho. A++

This is one of the best sandalwood fragrances wrapped up in cardamom / incense and cinnamon. It’s perfectly niche and unisex. The longevity is outrageous long and that makes sense due to the oil concentration. It will stain your clothes so be careful. It’s not a loud projector though, can’t have it all when making art like this. One thing I don’t seem to understand is why the “black collection” is a $100 more at LuckyScent with the fancy box and slight color variation on the bottle. Is the one on Fragrancenet for $170 the same fragrance? If anyone knows please let me know. Any who , this is a banger.
