I was first introduced to this perfume in Dubai at an ASAQ store. It was my first introduction to oud, and boy oh boy, I was blown away. I recall spraying it on my wrist and sitting in the store for about 45 minutes to see if it transitions at all.
The first 10 minutes were an explosion of notes, and my nose was a bit overwhelmed. But after a while, the candied lemon, smoky oud, amber, and musk began to take over. It smelled unlike anything I had ever smelled.
It is a luxurious perfume with nuclear projection, a room filler for sure. This fragrance will wear you if you lack confidence. It gives off CEO/power vibes and will have people wondering which million-dollar deal you just closed.
It has been compared to Boadicea's Blue Sapphire, and I can confirm, they share the same DNA, but this is the OG.
What a Masterpiece!!! I get compliments and attention when I walk into a room with this.
I got the buy-one-get-one-free deal in Dubai at the Wafi Mall Complex back in 2021. I paid about US $200 for 2 bottles (Qurashi Blend and the Royal Blend).
Lastly, the packaging and bottle are just beautiful.
