This is pure gold . It smells like very opulent and expensive niche parfum. It took me several times to understand and enjoy this beauty. To able to enjoy this you have to like oud and Arabic style parfums. I don’t get any bad association what other people talks about. Yes oud can smell funky but that is the nature of it. If oud is not for you stay a way , it is very simple. This parfum can give you real oud experience even though it is all synthetic oud in here. Oud interpretation is done very well.
For me It smells wood, spices and honey. It smells also like dried cut tobacco and chocolate but that comes from oud. It is like smelling empty wooden cigar box which i love . My bottle has enormous performance, it lasts 24 hours. It cuts through cold winter days. You carry this beautiful sweet woody smell with you all day . It is very comforting.

Very pleasant offer from SA. it has apple/flowery top and suede like gentle leather at heart. it has sweetness from vanilla&musk. i wish it was less sweet but that is my preference . Here is the leather note is main player but it is not animalistic or on your face type. it has very good performance. It reminded me Davidoffs Leather blend and Nabeel’s Antar but this is better made and smoother. Because it is not so harsh leather , it is wearable for daily use for most of the year and different occasions.

This is actually a solid offer from German band Rammstein. One might think it is very hardcore by just name or looking at parfum notes or style of the music, which band produces . But it is not. Yes it is dark and resinous. Yes there are notes like incense,tar and tea. However it is a very wearable and enjoyable parfum, especially if you like this genre. At Least there is nothing offensive about it. There are much darker parfums than this, for me it is not even close to the edge.
I can describe this parfum as resinous,smoky and balsamic.it has nuances of tar,tea and some sweetness from resins.
There are some strong similarities or it is in the same group of parfums Carner Cuirs ( at the beginning), Nasomatto Black Afgano, Terenzi Laudano Nero. If you got one of them maybe it is redundant. But if you don't, this parfums can be a good alternative because of the price point.
Performance is also very good, way above average.

Thanks for reading

I am really enjoying this. As a someone from Mediterranean, a good fig parfum is essential. I have tried many in the past. I am very surprised by quality price ratio if this one. Costume National homme is another favorite of mine at Aromatic Spicy genre .This one seems to be lighter version of that with added fig note. It performs average but still better then Diptyque’s Philosykos. It is perfect for summer evening at Mediterranean coast , smelling this together with sea breeze,other flowers &spices.
