Niche Endgame
Once again, I blindly acquired a fragrance from the house of Ahmed Al Maghribi and at first thought I had brought liquid chaos into my home. This is not a scent that you casually spray on while tying your shoes, expecting to float on cloud nine immediately. Bin Ameer is more of a connoisseur, a true niche gem that demands your full attention and doesn’t just throw itself at you. However, once you have smelled it, you simply want to explore it deeper, which happens quite naturally. Those looking for quick success will probably be disappointed at first, but that’s exactly what makes this fragrance so exciting.
The presentation is actually quite cheeky. You pay 45 euros for 90 ml and receive a beautiful box with a leather look that feels like pure luxury. The perfume is wrapped in a kind of silk paper. When you read that the concentration is at 42.59%, which easily means an oil content of more than half, you know this is not just a watery fragrance; this is a statement. And it starts off just like that. The first twenty minutes can be a struggle. The oud comes in quite strong, appearing animalistic in my opinion, and so dense that you feel like you need to push the scent aside to catch your breath. One might briefly think of cough syrup, but for me, it’s more of that extremely concentrated vibe of a sinfully expensive shower gel.
But here comes the twist. If you give it some time, a crazy transformation occurs. The scent becomes clearer, gets its elbows out, and suddenly becomes really rounded. This juicy, almost sparkling pear comes through, caught by honey and orange, giving it a warm, golden sweetness. This is a brilliant contrast to the dark oud base and a slightly smoky background. Jasmine and rose join in, adding an elegant floral depth to the whole. In the end, there’s a perfume that, while it hovers near Roja Dove’s Amber Oud, has far too much character to be just a simple substitute. Bin Ameer is not for beginners and definitely not a risk-free blind buy, but for those who are up for a scent with edges, corners, and a performance that is truly something different from what one is used to, this will bring great joy. Probably not for a very young audience and also very elegant. Overall, I would still categorize it as fresh and the fragrance classification as fresh, even though it is very deep and not your typical freshie.
When I smell the fragrance and look at the fragrance pyramid, I must honestly say that you can clearly recognize and understand each individual component. Once again, a true art of the perfume industry.
