A Scent Of Purity And Sensuality
Taking advantage of the Black Friday discounts, I tempted myself with these three Arabian wonders: Musk Abiyad Eau de Parfum , Dehn Al Oudh Abiyad Eau de Parfum, and Mukhallat Abiyad Eau de Parfum. I took them blindly, not knowing what awaited me. If I am not mistaken, Abiyad in Arabic means white, which would seem appropriate for these three treasures. Freshly released into the air, Musk Abiyad is the gentlest and comes as a fluffy cloud of pinkish dust. Dehn Al Oudh Abiyad is the most faithful and resembles burnt syrup from oud sap. Last, Mukhallat Abiyad is the most rebellious, commanding, filthy, with musty undertones.
Musk Abiyad means White Musk, and often natural ambrette flower seeds can be used in their natural form as a substitute for the musk with which they share a smell. Crystallized ambrette musk is used in many perfume recipes and comes from ambrette flowers, found in India and subtropical Asia. White musk has a clean, soft scent with no animal notes found in original black musk. Synthetic white musk is a recent addition to perfume making, also known as white musk, tahara musk or abyad musk in the perfume industry was discovered in 1926.
Musk Abiyad is a lovely, clean, soft white musk with a rose-tinged floral touch. It unfurls with a creamy, jammy, powdery rose, slightly boozy the first few moments because of the alcohol. I do not catch any citrus fruit here. The queen of the flowers has not the ordinary redolence we are used to but a musky temper from the very beginning. Besides, I bet the orris rhizome is taking part in the mix, as I get the talc dustiness without the metallic slant of the violet leaves. It’s clean, a pure, immaculate halo that surrounds my body.
Musky and powdery traces continue in the heart while the rose has moved to the background, and a tinge of something balmy oozes from my warm skin and clothes. It is a smooth balminess full of warmth, with no minty or herbal aspect.
In the drydown, the initial creaminess increases thanks to the warm sandalwood. The clean notes of musk echo in the base, this time supported by a handful of oakmoss. If I bring my nose close to the skin, I can feel that intense, slightly animal and earthy note typical of oakmoss, not yet banned in oriental perfumes. I did not smell any trace of sappy medicinal oud in any phases of the aroma, so it must polish white agarwood. Instead, a sweet powderiness pops up later, which I can associate with the spicy vanilla.
Musk Abiyad is the safest, most crowd-pleasing and most pleasant fragrance, and you bet, perfect if you are a beginner who would like to explore the flags of the Middle East. It’s the smell of purity and sensuality with a meditative-like effect. An excellent everyday scent, suitable for the office when sprayed in moderation, ideal from morning until early evening, and good for spring or autumn seasons. I would avoid summer as I wore it on a July late afternoon and it turned pretty cloying. It does not project too much but lasts several hours as a skin scent.
I base my opinion and review on a bottle I have owned since November 2022.
