Good Job Mother
"Maleeh Al Aoud"... What a beautiful name I thought to myself..... And I was not to be disappointed! As a newcomer in this field, I ordered a small sample of this wonder substance and wanted to know.... "Is this what you always find so beautiful in various fragrances?" Is Oud or Aoud the salt in the soup of so many soups on the perfume market? So said... done... I took the small sample in hand and applied a tiny drop on the back of my hand. I cleared my senses and smelled my hand.... Hmmm.... "It's not that great!" was my first thought, and a little disappointment crept in. I thought to myself.... "Come on Stefan!... Did you sniff too much paint today or why are your expectations not being met?".... Full of determination, I borrowed my second hand and rubbed the back of my hands together to give the little oil drop some air and warmth, and what unfolded was.... DIVINE!
This is how a tear from Mother Nature must smell! Wonderfully soft, round, and warm, this symphony opens its score in the key of "Rose".
I don't know where it comes from, but I have scent notes of roses. Not the fresh scent of modern tea hybrids, but heavy, powdery, and full of melt as Rosa Damascena, better known as the Damask rose, can provide. I love this scent! Enchanting!.... sensual!... erotic!... seductive!... captivating!... All these words describe Maleeh Al Aoud very well. After the rose, the duet partner Oud cautiously joins me. It's like a passionate dance of scent nuances. In perfect harmony, this ensemble plays on the keyboard of its olfactory possibilities. Nothing is exaggerated, nothing stands out, nothing "disturbs" in this symphony.
From beginning to end, this oil exudes an impression of perfection. Consistently beautiful, consistently balanced, unobtrusive but intense enough. Those who enjoy high-quality, heavy, warm, and oily rose/Oud will feel right at home here. In my opinion, a beautiful winter fragrance that must not be missing from my collection. I call myself.... "proud owner" of Mother Nature's tears.
Longevity and sillage are great. I rub a drop on my wrist, then glide from top to bottom over my clothing and smell pleasant and unobtrusive all day long.
The bottle is beautifully crafted and full of detail. A gem in my collection.
Many thanks to Mother Nature, the perfumer, and thank you all for reading.
Best regards, Stefan.

The Protector
Maleeh arrived as an inconspicuous sample and waited in my testing box for our meeting - a blind date, so to speak....

Since only "Oud" is listed here in the forum, I had no idea what Maleeh would really be like. So I got ready for our first date and dripped some Maleeh on my wrist...

WoOoOoW !

Maleeh starts dark-woody, softly earthy, almost gloomy with a subtly and just barely tolerable fecal-pigsty-dirty stable note - this is meant absolutely positively! Because I absolutely dislike cow-stall Oud, just to clarify ;-)

A complex composition of strong and high-quality Oud, a sweet - almost chocolatey coffee revelation, and fine saffron sprinkles that give the scent a somewhat medicinal quality....

The fine-fecal stable note from the opening doesn't stay strong for long, no, it slowly recedes a bit, but is never really gone....

The date with Maleeh is perfect after about 1 hour:
I smell a wonderful and softly creamy Oud, with an underlying animalistic-pigsty dirtiness - which has now positioned itself perfectly, somehow erotic and slightly "dirty".... the sweet-almost chocolatey coffee liqueur has thickened even more and is gently bitter, but warm and perfectly integrated as well... The medicinal saffron note (which I really love) envelops the wonderful "brew" and makes Maleeh something very special for me...

Maleeh has stormed, uh, conquered my heart!

When I am with Maleeh, I feel strong and protected....(and a bit "dirty" ;-)) That's how it should be!

Maleeh is one of my favorites and I recommend everyone who likes slightly pigsty Oud to test Maleeh :-)

"Like Found Love"
this truly describes this fragrance best. No mystique, dark fascination, or sexy aloofness. And I have to put it in quotation marks because Luxifer already wrote it in his statement. But there are simply no better words to describe this perfume oil more fittingly and to get straight to the point. For it evokes exactly this thought in me as well. It is warming, embracing, and protective, while also being exciting, passionate, and ecstatic. Like the wonderful emotional moments shared between two people and a hot, sweaty night of love.

It begins with a radiant rose. It gives the fragrance a lightness and at the same time deep sensuality. It is the first embrace, the first kiss, the first night that drives love forward and is unafraid to proclaim it. The rose is intercepted by oud and musk. These two partners gradually take the lead. They provide depth, familiarity, and eroticism. They draw it closer and ensure a pleasant skin scent. After the climax, gentle amber supports the last quiet kisses...
The fragrance is extremely finely woven and has a beautiful progression. All the ingredients I can smell find their time to shine. While the oud plays a significant role throughout.

The agarwood used here never shows its fecal or medicinal side that it can have. It always remains soft-woody and cuddly. The musk provides a very pleasant skin scent. The gentle amber that comes in to support the warm-soft finish is slightly animalic but not fecal. Nevertheless, it is far from any vanilla-amber.

I keep noticing that I am either particularly sensitive to flowers or my skin highlights this nuance. In fact, Maleeh Al Aoud plays on the edge. It is a kind and strength of rose that I can just about assign to the masculine, which is why it is my most wearable rose! It is precisely these floral aspects that make Arabic fragrances so well-suited for summer wear.

If you want the fragrance to be a bit more masculine and oud-like, it is advisable to layer it over a small amount of oud oil. This gives it a different, beautiful focus.

The sillage is relatively strong at the beginning but diminishes after a short time and then maintains a pleasant level. With oil, it can also be well controlled how broadly it is applied. The longevity is excellent, especially due to the musk, which is still pleasantly noticeable the next day. I find it wearable in all seasons.

It is also worth mentioning the incredibly beautiful bottle that comes in a very high-quality packaging.

Brave, slightly animalic oud that still feels complex and oriental (not very western): medicinal, subtly animalic, woody notes.

The most beautiful oud scent I've ever smelled. Authentic, pure, wearable... A delight even for me as a non-oud lover. Amazing!

Pure sensuality paired with vibrant eroticism, a gentle and pulsating oud, I can't wait to wear it on warm skin in summer.

Does Aoud have to be skanky? Nope.
Can Aoud be beautiful? Oh yes!
A delicate oriental on quiet soles.
Gentleness is powerful!

Gentle, flattering oud scent. More for oud beginners or the "stable front." Too delicate, too soft for seasoned wood lovers.

Good average. That this is supposed to be Oud, my nose disputes. Too soft and floral. Typical Oriental Oud scent. Too high a price.

Great oud with notes of fresh earth, intensely roasted coffee & cocoa softly layered on amber & rose, ending up as a typical attar. What a shame.
