Requiem for a midsummer's night dream

You wake up after a night of lucid dreaming where Rhianna doesn't turn you down and allows you to smell her farts. You remark to yourself that you never gave your bed the credit it deserves as it always takes care of you when it's time to have a chat with Mr. Sandman. After you stretch, you get up and notice neither your pet lion or US senator are in neither of their beds, so you go to walk outside and suffer a slight cut in your palm; you forgot to tell your slave to replace the missing diamond in your doorknob, so that's an extra beheading you have to look after.

You're annoyed as hell already and you've only been up 10 minutes, only to discover one of the members of your harem has the audacity to be menstruating; welp, another beheading you think to yourself. And to top that off, your wife asks you to give her some cunnilingus for her birthday, and you tearfully remind her that eating pussy is Haram, as you say your goodbyes as she pleads not to be sent to the gulags, you tell her what must be done will be done. As your life is falling into shambles, You open the patio doors and gaze upon the beauty of the seemingly endless amount of poppy seeds being harvested by your imported contractors *cough slaves cough*, and think you know what, times aren't so tough.

You later find yourself unwinding by sipping on a 300 year old congac crafted by the descendants of Blackbeard, after a long day of ordering 30 beheadings and the death of the infadels.
Turath finally wears off, and then I'm transported back to reality where I'm just living a normal existence, no stable of whores, no opulence, no fields of poppy to turn into opiates to fund my acts of terrorism; just normalcy.

Heritage

Turath, heritage: heritage inherited from the past.
This is what the fragrance wants to convey: the wealth and millennia-old culture of the Middle East.
Starting with the packaging, in which we notice in the foreground a representation of a traditional tapestry with gold inlays where Bedouins are depicted playing and entertaining themselves while eating dried fruits and smoking from a hookah.
Fruity and floral scents are, therefore, the protagonists of the fragrance.
In the background, however, we also find a slight smoky sensation that does not fall into the simple smoky/burnt and breaks up the fruity sweetness a bit.
This is a very rich fragrance with a very broad pyramid of notes: this makes its evolution quite dynamic as with each "sniff" some nuances are perceived rather than others.

Complex masterpiece

Turath exudes an aura of opulence and Middle Eastern influences. Despite the multitude of notes present, the perfumer skillfully achieved a harmonious balance. With its fruity, spicy, sweet, and woody accords, it is simply divine. This fragrance is undeniably distinctive and far from ordinary. Its longevity is unparalleled, lasting a remarkable 12+ hours with a powerful projection for the initial 3-4 hours. Prepare to make a statement and captivate any room you enter . A personal favorite of mine, I have already indulged in my second bottle. Perfect for the fall/winter season, its intensity is unmatched.

Probably the easiest introduction to the upscale oriental world....

Hello everyone,

there are many fragrance houses in almost every price range / segment that make oriental fragrances and I'll be honest - well over 80% can be forgotten directly (unfortunately).

Because those are too synthetic, disturbing/unattractive and look cheap and that brings us to the next point. To appeal to the widest possible audience, they are very cheap (really cheap). So you can say that they are very synthetic. I know there are some who don't even think this is a bad thing, but I'm out at a certain level.

Of course there is also EO, which is probably the spearhead, including their prices, but that's another topic.

Of course, there is also NABEEL, which has consistently delivered a very good performance for many years (!). Quality / oils 1a, flacons 1a, OVP usually insanely good, gradient / accords, H/S more than 1a.

And the "Dubai - Turath | Nabeel" is exactly that and if you know the prices of the house, it is still one of the cheaper ones, but I say right away "it's worth it"!
H/S AWESOME!

Its slightly fruity opening with the dried fruits, the candied fruits is still pleasant and as usual with the company, each fragrance has xx fragrance notes and accords. Really great! And in the drydown it becomes really pleasing (beautiful).

Can I say something bad?

In itself no - I could only wear it in a cool season, because the performance is really fiercely good, even used discreetly (2x - 3x).

For the oriental and upscale direction, it is one of the best options to get to know something like this!
If I really wasn't convinced, I wouldn't recommend it to you! (Try it out - assuming you like that sort of thing!)

And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

Oriental masterpiece

Meanwhile, the house of Nabeel has arrived on the European market with The Spirit of Dubai (TSoD) and hits like a bomb.
And completely justified!
TSoD combines great stories and backgrounds of Dubai and Arab culture.
But not only that the stories fit and the bottles and botteling are beautiful... also the fragrances have been developed by high Pafumeurskunst and are wonderfully matched.
The bottles come in a beautiful hinged casket and the bottle is in a travel case inside. I find this approach terrific, sensible and modern. You can pack it wonderfully in the work bag or luggage. The manufacturers think along and go with the times.

But now to the fragrance:

Spoiler: "Dubai - Turath | Nabeel" is a beautiful fragrance and is for me the best fragrance of the first generation. Info: the fragrances are divided into different generations, which are also significantly more expensive for each subsequent generation.
Turath translated into German means something like "tradition". Especially in Dubai, a wide variety of people from different cultures come together and live the modern luxury life there. Thus Turath stands in this case for the variety of cultures, which unites around the central Arab culture, which is represented everywhere in Dubai.
And that's exactly what the fragrance expresses for me... it is so many things, but at its core it always comes back to the oriental and Arabic-inspired core.
It starts with lots of different sweet fruits, a variety of pleasant spices and warm woody notes. As these fragrance notes are surrounded by beautiful powerful (but still soft) oud, which has slight animalic hints resonate, but never becomes very stale.
The H/S are incredibly good! The Dift holds with me really forever and is even after a long working day still perceptible. The Simmage also radiates strongly in the first 4-6 hours, but never stuffy / unpleasant.
The fragrance came with my Unfemd so far surprisingly well received, it has really hailed compliments.
Especially people who are familiar with the Arab culture or like oriental fragrances are particularly excited about it!
For me, it is a clear recommendation and I would no longer want to miss him in my collection. With the fragrance I just feel good... :)
