    I've just got a sample of this and I'm in love with it. I recently purchased a small rose oud Hindi oil sample from someone and wanted something similar in an edp...this is it! I find it so relaxing, a mixture of firelighters, coal tar soap, pine woods and rose Earl Grey. I will be pulling the trigger on a full bottle.

      So happy to hear you're enjoying it my dear! 🎊 It's great that you got a sample first and you had the chance to properly test it cause it's such a polarising fragrance, love or hate type of scent. Thank you for watching ❤🌹

      Try Amouage silver oud , best out there for an oud fragrance that still smells like just oud but smoothed out and accentuated . The only thing better would be a pure oil if you’re that into oud

    Hi just subscribed from Glasgow,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤘,,, I must say this sounds very intriguing, I love my oud frags, I own currently black oud, oudmazing, red tobacco, Gucci intense oud and oud al layl,,, I’m a bit dubious about pulling the trigger on this one,, knowing what I have do you think I’d like this one ?! Thanks,,,, great enthusiastic review x

    • @AFragrantGlance
      @AFragrantGlance  2 года назад +1

      Hi and welcome ❤ I haven't tried Gucci Intense oud but I know how Montale and Mancera do their ouds, and I've also tried Oud al Lail. This one from Ajmal is different than all the other ones mentioned. I don't think it will be an instant like but it might grow on you. While a lot of ouds are "westernised" this one is not, it's out there and is not afraid to shine 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ If you are into oud then it's worth checking this one. I would say the other ones mentioned are strong but the oud in those ones is either woody or medicinal leaning while the oud here is pungent and sour. Let me know how you feel about it if you decide to get it 🎊

    Great Review ,but I would like to know about Longevity, silage and projection before I buy it ,because mostly perfume stays strong for one hour and then fads away soon ....
    Please update about longevity and projection.

    • @AFragrantGlance
      @AFragrantGlance  3 года назад

      Hey Shahid! Thank you for watching! 😊 I can only tell you about the longevity and the projection, as I've only wore this one in the house, I never wore it outside.
      Longevity wise, with one spray on my hand it lasted 10 h easily (which is a lot for me as fragrances tend to disappear quickly from my skin). Whenever I moved I could smell the fragrance, and people around me smelled the fragrance as well.
      On me in the first 5 h it projected very well, and it was very strong almost a bit bothering ( the oud was the most powerful note). After that it started to open up and I got to smell the other notes as well.
      I think that in the heat it would project very well, but it's best to test it before buying it if you have a chance to see how it would sit on your skin and how it would mix with your skin chemistry. As a reference my bottle is from 2020.
      Hope it helped! 😊

    I have just bought a bottle. I will be satisfied if it resembles even if only a little bit like my all-time favorite discontinued perfume: Amouage attar Molook (white box). The first time I smelled it in 2015 it broke my heart. A stinky Indian oud with a Taif rose that formed a scent that bewitched you. I've been looking for something like this for years with no success. (There is no better oud than the Indian with its farmyard - cheese facet and there is no better rose than the Taif. The queen of roses for me). At least the price is cheap. Thanks for this review ! 😉☺

    • @AFragrantGlance
      @AFragrantGlance  2 года назад

      Let me know your thoughts on it, I'm very curious to hear your experience with the scent. Also I would advise you to look up Bidun Esam by Ahmed al Maghribi (I have a review of that scent) I have a feeling you would highly enjoy that fragrance based on what you told me you enjoyed in Attar Molook. You could even layer it with Mukhallat al Shams to add that hindi oud nuance. Thank you for watching ❤💫

    Great review! I'm so jealous, because I can't get many things that smell fermented or skanky. Im in Thailand so the best I've got is Paris Corner Ministry of Oud. Can you think of a few really stinky oud fragrances from middle eastern houses?

    • @AFragrantGlance
      @AFragrantGlance  2 года назад +2

      Thank you for watching! ❤️ Hmm the first ones that come to mind are: Ain by Ahmed al Maghribi (the oud is barnyard here), Mukhlallat al Shams by Ajmal (pungent oud) and Imperial Oud by Al Haramain (this is not skanky but very raw and resinous smelling), but I'm sure there are more out there that I haven't came across yet. I would advise you to look up fragrance groups in you country on Facebook and see maybe some people might sell decants of these fragrances 🌟

    This is a woody spicy power bomb, but you really have to like oud to appreciate this one because is not the westernized kind of oud. 100% arabic IMHO. It's like being inside of an oak barrel with a few spices and flowers. The oud and woody aspects are extremely dominant and very consistant through the entire drydown.
    High quality juice for an incredible price. A lovely perfume but not for everyone.
    Regards from Chile.

    • @AFragrantGlance
      @AFragrantGlance  3 года назад +1

      Oh yes, totally agree on the high quality aspect and on the fact that this is absolutely not for everyone, one has to really love a middle eastern take on oud to appreciate this fragrance. Scent wise I enjoy it a lot but I am not there yet to wear this one out. If someone's looking for a real oud smell at a great price I think they won't go wrong with it, great offer from Ajmal. Thank you for watching and wishing you an amazing day!

    I've bought this one because I was curious and it was cheaper than normal...I have it in my collection for a couple of months now but I'm still in the beginning stage of exploring the scent because of it's nucleair potency. The opening is indeed WOW....very very challenging to my nose, associations with things like puke (sorry....). I sprayed it on the wall and sniffed it every now and then. So indeed this opening takes about a day......and then the stinky-ness....has transformed into a very nice deep & sweet floral scent. I would say more feminine because of the flowers in there. So it's fascinating stuff but hard for me to use on myself at the moment. Indeed someone advised to spray it on your clothes the night before wearing, then you will skip the challenging stage...... Greetings!

But for people who like to explore the world of oud this is such an amazing offer from Ajmal for such affordable prices. Greetings!
