A Caramel Beauty with Nuclear Performance
Aseel Special Edition is another captivating homerun from the house of Arabian Oud.

SCENT: Aseel Special Edition is bursting with vanilla and caramel based sweetness while being insistently, though not distractingly, ozonic throughout the wearing. For me, the orange blossom (one of my favorite notes in perfumery) diminishes fairly quickly after the opening - playing more of a supportive role to the caramel. However, it never completely leaves the stage. During the dry down, I also picked up a slender, enjoyable patchouli accord. This is excellent.

LONGEVITY: For me, at least 12 to 24 hours with 3 sprays. Add this to the short list of things that would likely survive the apocalypse.

SILLAGE: Immense radiation. Along with, "Resala | Arabian Oud / العربية للعود" this has the strongest projection of any fragrance I've experienced from the brand. 2 sprays will be all you need.

BOTTLE: I'm sure the gold-colored horseshoe will appeal to many, but I find it garish. Admittedly, the overall presentation, including the box, is impressive.

VALUE FOR MONEY: Unless you make this your daily, the 110ml of this powerhouse should last you an eternity. When considered with the delightfulness of the scent itself, this is an immense value.

More Polo Than Rodeo: Aseel’s Tame Leather Charm
Aseel S E opens with a rich blend of Turkish rose and sweet toffee, setting a warm initial tone. At the same time, you will also smell an airy orange note along with an ozonic tendency (lasting for a a bit, into the dry down) which makes Aseel SE quite unique. As the scent develops, the heart reveals a smooth transition into velvety vanilla and subtle spices.

Being a (racing) horse themed fragrance, the leather note is definitely there but it emerges gradually... woven into the base rather than dominating the composition. It is refined, with a suede-like softness that avoids the overtly animalic territory. Aseel’s leather is understated, more reminiscent of well-worn luxury saddle than rawhide or barnyard. It complements the sweetness and the floral notes.

As most of the Arabian Oud fragrances, longevity is well above average, most likely boosted by "ambergris": 10+ hours on skin. Projection is moderate to strong in the first 2–3 hours.

Overall, Aseel Special Edition offers a nuanced unisex leather experience. Elegant, minimally animalic, and on par with much more hyped fragrances. Good for those who appreciate sweeter compositions and are not afraid of florals.

Stunning.
This is my first fragrance from this house, I am pretty damn impressed. It is advertised as a Men's fragrance but I find this perfectly unisex. I will have to admit that this gives off Gentle Fluidity Gold vibes. This one is alot more beastly and in your face but in a wonderful way. It's vanillic, ozonic, a little fruity and the ambergris is done really well so it is there but it isn't over powering. So it makes it kind of fresh without being considered a "freshie". This has long-lasting power with a large scent bubble. 10/10 would recommend!

Oh yes, I really like it!
I really liked the "Aseel Special Edition / أصيل إصدار خاص | Arabian Oud / العربية للعود". The combination of fruity sweetness and oriental notes really appealed to me. The longevity on my skin is about 10 hours with a successful sillage, especially at the beginning.

The top note starts sweet and fruity thanks to mulberries with a subtle freshness. The heart note has a gourmand scent with caramel but also floral notes thanks to orange blossoms and rose water. In the base, there are oriental spices and a nice creaminess. I can detect bourbon vanilla, benzoin, amber, as well as a hint of cinnamon. Over time, balsamic nuances and a certain woodiness come through.

Yes, indeed - the "Aseel Special Edition / أصيل إصدار خاص | Arabian Oud / العربية للعود" is truly beautifully crafted and successful. For me, the scent is also rather unisex. I thank Sören for the sample.

Arabian Oud - Aseel Special Edition
From the very first spray, you can immediately tell: this is a typical Arabian Oud fragrance, but with a very refined signature. It starts warm, slightly sweet, and oud-heavy, without being scratchy or overwhelming. As it develops, spicy and slightly woody notes come into play, making it very well-rounded.

What I particularly like: nothing feels overloaded, even though it is quite opulent. It has that deep, creamy warmth that one immediately associates with oriental perfumes. In the base, Oud, amber, and a clean musk remain present for a long time.

The longevity is top-notch (easily 10 hours or more), and the sillage is noticeable but not suffocating. Just right if you want to stand out without it being too much.

Conclusion: For me, one of the best fragrances from Arabian Oud - elegant, luxurious, and simply perfect for special occasions.

In the opening, I get berries, rose, caramel and ambergris. The scent is sweet, ozonic, musky, creamy and salty with vanilla in the drydown.

My favorite scent from Arabian Oud is a bit sweet, fruity, but still woody. The sillage is very strong and the longevity is great.

I love Arabian Oud fragrances, but this one has nothing that stands out from the Arabic perfume market. An average Arab.

It fits so well with summer, maybe because of the ozone? In the air, vanilla is slightly sweet and fruity. Lasts from morning to dinner.

Sweet yet airy-light rose caramel carried on fresh orange blossoms, but with a distinctly synthetic base. Only slightly berry-like.

Short shock from a strange, plastic-like opening. But shortly after (5 min) a delicious, sweet, slightly fruity caramel-orange blossom-rose note.
