About this deal
The fruity notes were over-ripened and jammy and the woody oud base was a fantastic combo (usually not a fan of oud). There's also some woody notes that come forward well into the drydown but these are largely built from ambroxan as well to my nose. The juiciness of Melon and the sweetness of Pineapple dance gracefully alongside a rich embrace of Amber and Cedarwood. It heavier than regular perfumes IMO, so I am trying to not wear it at work (even though I like it so much), just so my colleagues are not going crazy. I keep catching a glimpse of fruit like the melon and then the vanilla, then pineapple, then amber, woods.
Al Haramain has nice packages to hold their bottles, boxes that are not throw away to trash after opening.Edit: I've recently seen an exclusiff extrait d'parfum amber oud sport (red+black bottle)and that same version of the original Amber oud, haven't smelled them yet tho. Which leave a very smooth and intoxicating fragrance on my skin with some of the vanilla of the middle still left over. Released in 2018, this unique blend will leave a lasting impression with its enchanting combination of scents. Embrace the captivating allure of Amber Oud Gold Edition, an Arabian perfume that will make your presence truly unforgettable. It's pretty strong, the sillage is formidable but the performance isn't anything like what some reviewers are saying.
But I don't know if I would want a fragrance that goes from careless sweet mood on a beach to a dark smoky, rainy leather jacked smoking ciggies in storm by a castle type of a fragrance.I'm eating a bowl of Fruity Pebbles then suddenly my whole face is shoved in the bowl and I'm drowning for the next hour in a sugary mess.
