Volker1964

Ordered on the Internet, eau de toilette, 100ml, approx. 30 euros. Reasonable price. Quality ? What is it good for me ? To the scent...
Flacon:
Square, practical and good. Spray head lid held in wooden look.
Top note:
In the beginning you have vetiver and I also smell a wood note. The scent is heavy and intense. There is a subtle spicy note in the background. Slightly animalic.
Heart note:
Vetiver dominates here clearly, remains pleasant. The fragrance becomes somewhat drier and spicier. A little bit of earth, pleasantly integrated. Wood notes are already clearly present here.
Base:
Now the wood comes through, accompanied by musk. The wood is slightly smoky and dry. Musk, more subtle, creates a nice balance to the wood. The scent becomes more discreet and is pleasant and remains pleasant until the end.
Conclusion:
A fragrance not like umpteen others, already special, in a positive sense. It is relatively heavy, woody, spicy, somewhat animal with oriental touches. This fragrance is a dark knight among fragrances. For me rather something on cooler days in my free time. Could be too special for the office. Lasts 6-8 hours for me. I have a colleague who likes this scent a lot and also wears it herself from time to time. Why not?

Unfortunately, this scent is getting harder and harder to get. I found it on ebay. EdT 115ml, Splasher. Here we go
Top note:
Green notes, very noble and elegant, with a very pleasant spiciness, completed with lemon. The spice is not too strong, just the right amount. The lemon makes the fragrance quite fresh and is neither sour nor unpleasant.
Heart note:
The fragrance is slightly stronger due to the pepper, but remains pleasant. Fine mint, beautiful lavender and floral notes carry the heart note. The mint gives the heart note a wonderful freshness. Sage ensnares the very successful overall impression. All very well balanced.
Base:
The fragrance becomes pleasantly woody, musky, pleasant nature, is also there. It becomes a bit spicier and drier, but remains very pleasant. The green-fresh spice recedes a bit, but remains pleasantly present.
Conclusion:
An overall very successful fragrance. Very noble, valuable, could be a guerlain or niche fragrance without ifs and buts. He has a great development and always remains noble and valuable. I will remember this manufacturer. Gave me someone here in the forum as a tip. Thank you!!! Lasts a good 8 hours with me. Because of its excellent characteristics I wear it for work and leisure all year round, but economically. Who knows when you will get this scent at all. Why they stopped production is a mystery to me.

A good friend of mine was on holiday in the Orient, Saudi Arabia, and brought me 3 fragrances.
To 1:
Top note:
Cumin quite strong, piquant, not unpleasant. Rather special for me
Heart note:
Floral notes, in the form of subtle roses, are added. Cumin still quite present.
Base:
Pleasant woody notes, subtle musk and fine vanilla form the balanced basis alongside cumin. Patchouli and amber underline the very successful base quite pleasantly
Conclusion:
Cumin clearly dominates the heart and top notes. The base note is very rich and varied. For me quite pleasant, as I am used to oriental scents. Some smell sweat, if sweat would smell like that, I would be much more comfortable in trams and buses in summer. I rather wear this scent in my free time, not at work, it is a bit too present for that. Durability with me about 8 hours.

This fragrance has great similarities with Harmeen Men (HM) by Rasasi. Here we go
Flacon:
Pleasing and beautiful. I like it
Top note
Cumin, beautifully worked in. Very pleasing.
Heart note:
Floral notes, especially roses, very pleasantly present.
Base:
This one is the highlight par excellence..very balanced, very skilful. Finest wood, pleasant musk and noble, fine vanilla form a great! Base. Unbelievable!
Conclusion:
The fragrance starts well and ends simply great. You should try it sometime. It has similarities with H.M., but in my honest opinion it is better. It is rounder, more balanced, more versatile and of higher quality. One more fragrance for the cooler days in your free time. Lasts 10 hours with me easily

That is quite a fragrance. Oud, oud and more oud. But of course, one after the other
Flacon:
Small, round and lies well in the hand.
Top note:
Sweet and spicy oud. Sweetness comes from "green" honey (arcacia honey ?). Oud very present.
Heart note:
Oud is also very present here. Juniper note is added pleasantly and complements the oud very well. Balanced.
Base:
Here leather comes into its own very nicely, complements the oud very well, even if the scent remains oud-heavy. The scent becomes a bit spicier
Conclusion:
Oud is clearly the boss around here. Juniper and leather are added to balance the situation. Juniper pleasant and not too strong. Leather noble, dark and old. Altogether a noble and very pleasant scent. Oud very valuable, always present, but never too much or obtrusive. Rather for the cooler days in the spare time. Durability with me easily 10 hours.
