Screechy rose-oud-musk
Aseel is a potent rose-oud fragrance with a soapy white musk doing most of the heavy lifting in the background. The opening is dominated by the metallic sharpness of rose geraniol and the taunting acidity of saffron. The sharp medicinal twang of the Montale oudy aromachemical is clearly recognizable here: lovers of Black Aoud and Aoud Musk might want to check this out.
The rubbery oud, the saffron, and the green rose are all stacked up front, like boobs in a Wonder Bra. The denouement, as it so often happens in these cases, is a disappointment – a vast expanse of clean, cottony musk and little else. It smells like laundry detergent straight from the bag, but also exotic in a broad, Disneyfied way. Eventually, the roar of the musk dies back somewhat, allowing a scratchy rosy amber to peek through. My husband wears it.
