Al Qurashi Blend from House Abdul Samad Al Qurashi of Mecca, Saudi Arabia is a Unisex Oriental Woody Floral Amber Musky fragrance. It opens up nicely acid effervescent citrus already blending with a natural Indian oud, lily of the valley, amber and musk. Moody and poetic, this fragrance brings out the scent of historic eras, combining warm animalic oud, amber and musk with a healthy dose of fruitiness dominated by juicy apple zest and spicy condiments. The ever-present chord of the duet formed by the rare, ancient and mythical 'Oud Kalakassi with its singular chocolatey character mixed with more 'oud Indian of smoky and slightly animal facet brings the vibe of Middle Eastern warmth. How good it is to find [and wear] a perfume with 'oud real present and striking.
This sophisticated fragrance is a unique mukhallat/blend of warm and spicy notes, combining nuances of saffron, sandalwood and musk. It also includes a heady blend of rich florals with the sumptuous Taif Rose with its fresh citrus facet, while the woody accord is composed mainly of cedar, sandalwood and patchouli. With a delicious indelible amber with a unique quality combined with the animalic musk reinforces the arabesque character of this composition. This fragrance is perfect for special occasions to add a touch of sophistication. After a few good hours it reaches drydown with a background dominated by a slightly chocolatey accord delicious by the junction of 'Oud Kalakassi with Patchouli.
Oriental Woody Floral Amber Musk Perfume!
As for the similarity and controversy with Blue Saphire from Boadicea The Victorious in the Exterior ... Yes, it really does, although here we have a slightly darker footprint and more density with more opulence; as for the controversy of who came first or who inspired whom, the Al Qurashi Blend-Charme D'Orient its launch is prior to 2010 this ends any doubt or discussion about. Between Blue Saphire and Al Qurashi Blend, Christian Provenzano I'm sorry both are very good but I prefer this one.
No wonder Al Qurashi Blend has the subtitle of 'CHARME D'ORIENT' couldn't be more appropriate.
It has excellent performance! Delicious Dazzling Perfume!
