“Let me preface by stating that this fragrance is similar to Oud Maknoon by SwissArabian. It is a very strong oud that an aficionado can only appreciate. There is not even an inkling of tobacco detectable, regretfully. Why they decided to advertise it as a tobacco fragrance is enigmatic. Those who say it has tobacco are incorrect. Do not expect an ounce of a tobacco fragrance such as Herod.The oud is not what you find in European brands. I am not sure who is using a better oud, but I am positive that European brands rip you off. Furthermore, it is difficult to see how it is an apricot fragrance, since the only discernible fruit for me is lemon (not listed in the notes). It vanishes after a while, and then the oud lingers forever. Very audacious, exceedingly masculine, and slightly overwhelming when first sprayed.If you are not familiar with Arabian perfumes, first test this before purchasing! I love it!”
“I got this and after testing it on my wrist with one spray realized the quantity in the bottle was lower than it should be for a new bottle! It smells interesting but does not project. Sits very close to the skin.”
