Amber Oud Tobacco Edition Al Haramain / الحرمين 2019

The title may sound corny, but ultimately the fragrance embodies exactly that for me. However, let's start at the beginning.

A few years ago I stumbled as an absolute barbarian in matters of perfume on an Australian company that produces wax perfume, which should smell good for a moderate price - it did, at least from my point of view. So the first perfume I ever bought myself (my partner was always at the helm for that before) was a clone of Tobacco Vanilla - I didn't know that and it couldn't have been more indifferent to me. I liked it mainly because it was different from the perfumes I knew - spicy, exotic, peppery, woody, spicy-aromatic. This fragrance characteristic therefore has a place of honor in my sensibilities, simply because it was the first fragrance I bought because I liked it myself.

Amber Oud Tobacco Edition fills this kind of fragrance character completely - the fragrance is a spicy monster. Unbridled act clove and pepper as the main actors in the opening, assisted by woods and resins in the background. A mangy, frivolously inviting tobacco wanders in between. The latter is never smoky, but rather delicious, sweet, cinnamony, vaguely nutty. Fleeting vanilla and an isolated shy cocoa bean round out the aromatic creation and save it from complete exotic-erotic overboard.

Restraint is written here small or completely weggetipp-ext. This massive aura can easily tarnish, the dosage must be tuned with sensitivity depending on the situation. Less is always more here. This fragrance wants to be discovered, sniffed out in small bites, leisurely felt - if it comes in too large waves can lead to cognitive overload in the environment.

Properly dosed, the fragrance carries away into warm spheres, embraces like a cuddly blanket, offers generous security even under the most adverse circumstances. This is far more competence than I can attribute to many other fragrances, and therefore I like him especially.
