“This is not a fragrance you wear for others, it’s one you wear for yourself. This is a frag for fragheads, I don’t recommend high school kids go out and blind buy this, I seriously doubt this is gonna win teenyboppers any love with the girls. To me, it’s got way more leather than smoke, I love it but only in very small doses or else it gives me a headache. It reminds me of the leather in Tuscan Leather and/or LaYuqawam. Maybe I’m mistaking the smokey scent for leather but I am very sensitive to to the aroma chemicals used in leather fragrances and this one is no exception. Again, I love this stuff even though 90% of the time it gives me a splitting headache that lasts all day long. I also recommend it for more mature men, maybe 30’s and up. I’ll never buy another bottle, this one will last me a lifetime but I highly recommend it to those who are into scents and see compositions for the work of art they are, make no mistake, this is art, possibly even a masterpiece. Just don’t expect western woman to appreciate it as much as you do, I imagine most American woman will dislike this, especially if over sprayed. For this price, I think it’s a safe blind buy even though it is a polarizing fragrance… those of you who are into weird, niche fragrances (you know who you are).Edit* I take back what I said about there being more leather than smoke... now that I have acclimated to this scent I get the smoke, and it's amazing. If you spay just a little, you'll get faint whiffs of this all day. This is by far one of the most unique fragrances (niche or otherwise) that I have ever smelled. Stellar EDP in every way and if it had a well known name behind it, this it could go for 10 times the price, easily! While I toyed around with keeping this a well kept secret, I think it's worth at least sharing with other fragrance connoisseurs out there and who else will stumble across such a fragrance except those of us who enjoy finding new and unique smells to drape ourselves in? I will say it again, this is made for people who are passionate for fragrances, especially unique and exciting compositions, it's not for those who are looking to impress others, it won't increase ones sexual desire, I'm pretty sure most woman will not share my affinity for this scent. I love it more today than I did when I first reviewed it and my appreciation for it grows everyday that I wear it, which is more and more frequent because I can't get enough of it.”
“I've got quite a collection of Arabic perfumes, mostly Oud. This is a very nice scent. Soft, sweet, musky and comprehensively nice. It projects and has good longevity 6-10 hours. This is a unique scent. I only wear it when I'm in the best of moods as it reflects my emotion. I just know that when peeps get a wiff of this stuff they must think wow, that's different, nothing like any stuff they buy in the shops. Oriental, exotic. You can adjust this up or down 2 sprays playing safe. 3-5 up to beast mode.. I'm a pretty masculine mature guy, this leans to the masculine side though could easily a unisex scent. Two or three sprays does the trick. The best in my collection.”
