The royal oud
I was long - very long - looking for an oud fragrance that meets my criteria -real oud (oud content), intense, extraordinary, strong oud presence, noble bottle and uniqueness.
Does Zafar meet all my criteria? More about this later!
First of all, I now have every Oud Star through as well as almost all Kemi fragrances to make me a nice picture of all the fragrances.
My three favorites from the Oud Star collection are Alexandria II, Zanzibar and of course Zafar. For me, the fragrances have that certain something.
Zafar is for me the fragrance where you perceive the oud most beautiful and strongest.
The oud in Zafar is present at all times, yet wonderfully enveloped by other notes such as incense, cedar and subtle florals that are perceptible to me.
The scent progression is not so spectacular as I find, but I always find new facets of the fragrance, which impresses me so much - but this is normal for natural oud fragrances.
The oud in Zafar is beautiful - deep, slightly animalic, dark, powerful, present and high-quality. You notice the naturalness of the fragrance, especially just the Laotian oud.
According to the manufacturer, the oud is matured 15. years, but this tells me honestly little. The factors: distillation, location of the tree, age of the tree, extraction of the oud or its processing, etc., all these factors are crucial.
The oud in Ceylon - Malaysia - for example, smells more animal and fecal than the oud in Zafar, this can be recognized relatively quickly.
The oud in ilm is also softer, brighter and broader set up, but designed a little softer.
The oil content is equally crucial, where in Zafar has not been saved in any case!
Zafar acts very protective, self-confident, clear, profound on me, like no other fragrance.
It is for me real quality in a beautiful bottle.
A pure oud perfume would be boring for me, because I can then buy me the same pure oud oil, as well as a fragrance that reflects only light nuances of oud would also be boring, because if I am looking for an "oud fragrance", also wants a perfume where just the oud in all its glory radiates.
Therefore, Zafar has for me the perfect balance - at any time the eagle wood is beautifully coated.
With the durability and projection I struggled at first, but can now say that it is very high, especially on warmer days. The fragrance actually reacts differently on the skin every day. Also, it is clear to me that the scent habituation plays a role in the assessment, as well as moisture and warmth of the skin and the humidity, temperature or weather outside.
Therefore, I have also often asked my environment.
Conclusion to H&S : The shelf life is except neatly good with mostly over 10 hours.
The projection is very strong in the first hours and mostly beyond that still strongly perceptible - top!
I can every oud lover Zafar warmly recommend and maybe it is soon your treasure.
Finally a fragrance where the oud in the name really fits! Since Creed with their Royal Oud can cut off a slice!
Royal Oud is included in the Zafar.
Fake Royal Oud is present in the Creed.
Well well....
If you are looking for a beautiful, loving as well as strong fragrance where the oud is more active in the background, choose Alexandria II.
If you are looking for a rather smoky, spicy, osmanthus fragrance with already rather superficial oud, then choose Zanzibar.
If you are looking for a royal oud perfume, where the oud also shows full presence, choose Zafar.
Addendum : Since I have now tested Oud Luban extensively - since private property - I can mention that Oud Luban for me nobler, higher quality, more beautiful, (oud-heavy) works, than Zafar. Too times one must mention - at least my perception - that both fragrances act very similarly, nevertheless Oud Luban is simply more beautifully arranged. No alcohol, more oud, stronger intensity, on the whole, the fragrance seems (higher quality).
Should you like Zafar, I think you feel more comfortable with Oud Luban :-)
