AL ANDALUS
Al Andalus from Italian House of Haute Luxury Niche Perfumery Moresque is part of the 'Black Collection', it is an Oriental, Spicy, Woody, Amber, Smoky perfume. It was released in 2015; the perfumer who signs this fragrance is Andrea Casotti. The perfume unfolds in energizing and joyful notes, which awaken us like the first rays of the sun. And all this surrounded by an enveloping ambery accord that accompanies the fragrance at all times.

Al Andalus (Andalusia) is an alluring fragrance, reminiscent of the nature, vibrancy and scorching sun of the Andalusia region of Spain. It is a tribute to the most distant and western emirate (province) of the 'Great Islamic Arab Empire' that at its peak for more than 7 centuries dominated and stretched from western China through North Africa extending to the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal, Spain).

The perfume starts spicy spicy leathery earthy with the fiery ginger combined with pepper and leathery turmeric. Centered on the famous and renowned 'Oud Kalimantan, with a bittersweet, woody, medicinal facet, and recognized among 'oud connoisseurs as one of the best 'oud in the world, which, along with vetiver, brings a woody footprint to the fragrance.
The tolú, labdanum with birch very noticeable, leave the resinous, balsamic, smoky perfume, which refers to a leathery accord, incense, warm and dry.

Al Andalus behaves this way practically from start to finish, making it a somewhat linear perfume, but despite this, it in no way takes away from its extreme elegance, based on a very fine combination of Amber and Leather with 'Oud and Incense. Fragrance with a very arabesque character.
It refers to the Souks of the East with aromas of spices, incense, fabrics, hookahs and tannery hovering in the air.
Alpha Male Perfume!
Excellent quality, with very good performance!

AN INTIMATE ROYAL RHYTHM OUTSIDE THE MIND AND TIME
[ 1 ] - AN INTIMATE ROYAL RHYTHM OUTSIDE THE MIND AND TIME :

What a great successful beginning to discover MORESQUE house with this masterpiece, the nobility, gravity and royalty are the first thing come to my mind

The name itself (AL ANDALUS) is quite expressive, which refers to the most advanced civilized era for human beings at that time, as MORESQUE were good at describing, they were good at creating, as if the imagination of the present embraces the reality of the past.

I highly appreciate this type of genius perfumers and the creativity that turn scents like a time machine and makes you feel you are there, as if your entity, mind, feelings and sensations are being in another time and place.

[ 2 ] – THE SCENT OF (AL ANDALUS) TYPE AND VIBE :

The scent transitions are well rounded, and the best part appears, when the undertone start to play a slight role in the dray down, between the balsamic woody birch notes to give a hint of woody sweetness

Well blended, long lasting, intimate projection and the rhythm of mellow notes are enough to create an elegant sillage

It can be wearable by unisex, but at same time, I believe the versatility is more for men than for women, it’s not generic mass appealing, yet apparent ease to wear, it’s charming and joyful, yet not loud and playful.

Personally, I can sense the velvety of ( AL ANDALUS ), is closer to ( DIOR HOMME PARFUM BY DIOR ) vibe, but without any similarity between the two scents or any perfumes that I have experienced.

Finally, I hope these lines are helpful enough, to give a true impression of ( AL ANDALUS ) which I consider as underrated masterpiece.
