I can't make sense of it!
As I already mentioned in the comment on "SULTAN," "ASEEL" doesn't smell great to me.
It comes across like a mix of floor disinfectant and industrial solvent based on turpentine.
On the other hand, my father-in-law - who had to serve as a guinea pig during the presentation of my latest acquisitions - expressed himself quite positively and favorably about the fragrance development. And this, even though he isn't really "at home" in the world of fragrances (or maybe precisely because of that?!)
After a while, the "industrial cleaner" somehow develops into an old desk on me.
So I'm currently imagining the manufacturing process!
Once upon a time, there was an old desk that served an artist as a surface for creating 2374 charcoal drawings in A3 format.
The graphite/charcoal remnants penetrated the old wood and were preserved there.
Many years later, the entire desk was transported to a damp cellar and fell into oblivion for dozens of years.
A few months after its rediscovery, it was aired out in a huge warehouse, evaporated and distilled, mixed with oil & turpentine, and bottled by Al-Rehab :)
This is not meant to be a slam!
Since I at least know one person who can actually appreciate this scent, I will give the brew another chance in the summer!

A great comment - and precisely because it borders on a rant, it makes me eager to try it out! :-)

@Sonnenfee: Thanks for the trophy! About the Arabic fragrances: I can only agree with you :)

With Arabic perfumes, there are quite a few surprises to experience; the taste is different there :D
