Smells of clean watery roses 🌹 and Misk. Really nice stuff.

AlMishal Oud - Sultani SQ Iced Rose

This is not your run of the mill rose oil that’s thin and runny. This is a thick lipid-y rose oil that doesn’t really smell much like rose 🌹. I didn’t know wether to put this in the attar/Mukhallat category so I added this entry here.

It smells like the most delicate of flowers 🌺 with dew covering the petals. It smells like that dew. Unintrusive, inviting, beautiful. It has a very soft powdery scent to it. Clean and bright. It almost has an apple 🍏 scent. It’s unbelievably amazing 🤩 .

American Perfumer - Bloodline - As we head into the autumn here in Europe - can think of no better scent to prime the senses for the season. Dark brooding woods, pine, smoke. Yay.

EO Monsieur Oud pp (original release with sticker label) with addition of: Kymya's Silani Sultan & Jinkoh Store's Royal Ceylon, both with over a year to settle.

This is a blue-green aquatic heaven that really cuts through the sweetness of the fruits and florals. I'm going to reach for this often during summer.

G Parfums - Kirza - Having explored so many high quality ingredients recently - I love going back to older bottles in my collection that I couldn't fully appreciate first time around. This is a beautiful dark and brooding patchouli based woodsy, fruity hug of a fragrance. Perfect for this cold, rainy day.

Hunayn - Silk Dunes

This is in my top 5 perfumes of all time. Its simply a masterpiece. Its so potent yet smooth with its peppery notes coupled with cinnamon, cloves. And middle notes of Bulgarian, Malaysian, Indian, and Taif roses, and saffron. Along with a base of Mysore SW, leather, patchouli, and Malaysian oud. Its one of those perfumes where you smell every single scent.

It feels like the warm touch of soft sand between your toes during a night walk in the desert during Winter. I keep on coming back to their website to see if it will ever get re-stocked and it always says sold out. And I've been eyeing other creations from Hunayn because once you've had a taste you want more.

SOTD: Kinam Absolut Faizal Privee

Ever since owning Roza Arabica, have been dying to try the rest of Faizal’s offering and he didn’t disappoint. Had the opportunity to meet him at his booth in Dubai and he was very generous and a nice guy to talk to.

I smelled Kinam Absolut and there it was. An ethereal scent flooded my nose.

It opens immediately with meditative frankincense, slightly green and balsamic, while sharp brightness of citrus brightens the start. As it develops, osmanthus takes centre stage bringing in a blend of ripe fruitiness, honeyed tea and subtle suede-y texture. It transitions seamlessly to the star: kinam oil and hainan qinan - herbal, resinous, camphoric, and almost minty, then slowly dries down leathery, dry and resinous with incensey smokiness.

It smells quiet, contemplative, not trying to get attention. Woody, floral, cool spiced, resinous, subtly leathery.

Like sipping osmanthus tea beside soft burning incense chips in an old wooden sanctuary/temple.

OSMANTHUS MOON by Yi-Xen Craft Incense. Bright, fruity and spicy, almost leathery opening that feels very much of saffron spiced osmanthus. Im reminded of an iced, peach black tea. Then comes a luscious, slightly fruity floral that stops just before headiness, with a textural spice underneath. Its warm, almost creamy and also resinous. Drydown is slightly powdery, balsamic spice with a warm glimmer fading away into wood. Feels like an early afternoon in autumn, where sunlight is warm but breath is cold and crisp. Daylight takes on an altered shape with heavier shadows begining earlier in the day, birds chirp and yet it feels quiet and still.

Official Notes: Sandalwood, jiang xiang, osmanthus, oud, rose, ambergris, myrrh, labdanum, benzoin, orange jessamine, spikenard, saffron, Japanese torreya, lotus & others.

Carrier is a tincture of oud, rose and osmanthus!

Wearing Blackbird by Teone Reinthal today, a really beautiful, perfectly balanced jasmine, leather oud fragrance. For me, its up at the top with Queen Of Sheeba as my fave from the brand. It starts off with a sweet crisp jasmine bouquet that is not soapy, powdery or even indolic, but juicy and slightly fruity thanks to the osmanthus. Overall, its a very woody, creamy, sensual perfume leaning a little smokey. There is a bit of an alluring darkness to it yet i find it warming overall. It never feels dense or heavy, there is a crisp airiness about it. The dry-down is soft woods and creamy resin with an almost tobacco like sweetness from the oud, vanilla and labdanum. I layered it with one of my fave oud oils: Tarakan by The Oud Trader, a smokey earthy and resinous indonesian oud that paired perfectly.

AlMishal Oud - Sultani SQ Blend, Henry Jacques Edition

This Sultani Henry Jacques creation is a beautifully refreshing composition that feels free of impurities, evoking the sensation of morning dew settling on delicate rose petals, with crisp green apple and a gentle squeeze of lemon adding a bright, sparkling freshness. Cooling melon and juicy watermelon notes lend a soft, watery sweetness, creating an exceptionally elegant, airy, and uplifting fragrance that feels so luxurious.

Laurent Smal - Rider on the Stars

A beautiful opening of zesty grapefruit and sharp black pepper brings on a floral heart of lavender, balanced by the earthy, slightly camphorous richness of patchouli. As it settles, creamy sandalwood and mineral, salty-sweet ambergris create a warm, velvety, and subtly musky foundation, lending the composition an elegant balance of freshness, spice, and sensual depth. Really amazing masculine scent.

Oud1more - Milano (Oud Saffron)

For jumuah today, extremely potent saffron perfume, a great mix of resins too, i particularly love the myrrh notes . Does remind me of cough syrups. Has a lovely base of oud, very woody and bakhoory. Dry down has a deep vanilla, ambery animalic mix.

EO - Iris Noir Pure Parfum

This is a vibrant and sharp spicy-floral composition that opens with juicy peach 🍑 , raspberry, and sparkling citrus 🍋‍🟩, which leads to a bouquet of Afghan rose, buttery iris, jasmine, honeysuckle, and mimosa, accented by aromatic herbs and fresh pine. Beneath all this lies a rich foundation of various regional Ouds, and creamy SW, creating an intriguing contrast of fruity brightness, and powdery elegance.
