Al Hashimi - Caliph sample
A VERY beautiful and balanced Malay oil. instant love (and purchase)
This shall go straight to my special pile to be treasured when my order arrives. In the meantime... I shall cherish what’s left of my sample...
When I first tried it, I was like this is just like EO Tigerwood - then I did a side by side comparison... no it’s not!
I enjoyed EO’s Tigerwood (both of them) - this one feels similar, but with a little more depth and sits much higher in terms of the comfort and complexity scale.
These days I just stalk this forum, given I don’t have much new to say... but Caliph... stellar oil.
I have been refraining from buying new oils, my new year resolution hahaha - unless it really is unique, extremely well distilled, smells like incense/oud on low heat and/or has a prominent kinam/Kyara note to it.
I think it’s my favorite from Al Hashimi so far. (Amira is really good too but this one is more enjoyable to my nose and soul - I just have a thing for Malay oil).
My first oil for this year and I am glad it was this one ! (My last oil of 2018 was LMK’s Sumatran oil, a great way to end the year) considering how crazy I got last year - I think I am making good progress [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
