Stunning leathery rose
Andalusi is a stunning leathery rose.

There's rose and leather of course, being the main components of the scent from the beginning to the end. The leather is dry and well rounded with the perfect amount of fizz and strength, meanwhile the rose is delicate, yummy and airy.

Apple and saffron are super prominent the first hour along with a soft oud. The oud is little funky, but nothing fecal or animalic just in case. It's supporting the leathery facet of the main accord and is present for a short period of time.

When the things calm down, a red sweet note takes preponderance (maybe ethyl maltol?) and the musk arise too. There's some vanilla and amber undertones that give depth and warmth.
Although there is an obvious sweetness in this fragrance is not a sweet fragrance per se. I think it's very well balanced.

The blending and the quality of the ingredients are top notch. This fragrance moves through its life showing a considerable amount of complexity.

Performance is excellent on my skin. It projects very well for 2 or 3 hours and lasts forever. I can smell it even the next day.

Presentation is just out of this world. One of the best presentation I've ever seen. The bottle and the box are so unique and luxurious.

A Refined Layton Alternative
In Andalusi, Arabian Oud has managed to remove some of the aspects of Layton and Layton Exclusif that I didn't enjoy, whilst adding a couple of oriental notes and boosting the performance. It is as if they took the Layton line as a blueprint and then sought to improve upon it.

As an illustration, saffron has been added to the top notes and it blends beautifully with the apple and bergamot. It is an intriguing accord which improves upon the opening of the original Layton.

In the mid dry down rose and very subtle non-cloying vanilla come to the fray. The dank note (civet?) that you get from Layton Exclusif is thankfully absent here. Here, the mid is an improvement on Layton Exclusif.

The base is very similar to Layton Exclusif with oud, amber, and sandalwood. However, instead of coffee and patchouli we have clean leather. Again, an improvement in my view. That dank dirtiness is gone.

So, here we have a Layton top with the addition of saffron, and a Layton Exclusif heart and base with the removal of dank and dirty accords and the addition of leather. It's an example of East meets West done well.

If you are a fan of Layton or Layton Exclusif, or found those two fragrances lacking in performance, or even put off by the dank accords, give Andalusi a try.

Paradise is just a piece of a real dream. Full-bodied gentle apple-sour sweetness, softened by saffron-sandal and dark oud.

Masterful Habibi, profound and rich, yet not too dark. Exorbitant HS.
It flies under the radar on its carpet despite everything.

Light parallels to the OFG.
Less saffron, more oud!
Fruitier with apple, bergamot, and flowers.
A versatile oriental under the radar!

It smells so incredible, it takes you 300 years back. It's similar to oud & musk (label).

Pure oriental. Apple noticeable at first, quickly followed by the oud. Spicy, unisex. A real hit!

Classic rose-oud scent with a hint of apple. Unfortunately, it's often smelled and not particularly unique. Sillage and longevity are okay.
