Really enjoy this scent. It’s a little bit lighter than American, but it’s green and fresh.

This was a discount blind buy for me just looking at the notes. It is very reminiscent of Tom Ford‘s Oud Wood. I think this actually has a bit more staying power on my skin, but both tend to fizzle out on me after a few hours. I put it on around 8am and it was largely close to the skin around 12-1pm. Now that could just be me, or I’m nose blind to this scent profile, but at the price I snagged it at, I’m glad I got it. You get some of that oud profile off the top, it was somewhere between middle eastern Amouage and more westernized oud, but not offsensive.

It’s amazingly blended and well done, but a very specific scent that is very strong on the “stinkier” side of our (middle eastern) making it tough for westerners. Its still a beautifully well done creation, just a very specific wear and I’m but sure 100ml’s would be needed in a lifetime.

Would definitely buy again. Ginger and a hint of sweetness but you do get that nice spicy dry down.

While the reviews make it sounds like it’s not a heavy rose, that’s all my nose seems to smell. Leans way more feminine to me, and I don’t get much resinou/incence. Its still beautifully done, just not for me as the rose is too prominent.
