Luxurious, Opulent Boss Bottled (and more than that)
Actually, it was the nostalgic search for the lost Boss Bottled in the perfume forum and the advice there that led me to Ehsas Khas. Thank you for that. After I had used up the sample and tried countless other samples over the months, I decided to get a bottle. I must say that I have become very picky after having tried an estimated hundred to two hundred perfumes and only buy those that I absolutely like. Ehsas Khas is now one of the few bottles that has made its way back into my collection after quite a while. Others from the same house will follow (Sultani, Amiri), which puts Arabian Oud on the same level for me as Xerjoff or Mancera, who also produce an average number of very good perfumes.

So how does it smell? There is indeed a strong similarity to Boss Bottled, only the ingredients smell of higher quality, more natural, fuller, stronger, with a unique twist. The apple is the most beautiful apple I have ever smelled in a perfume. I lack the knowledge of the oils available on the market to assess why this apple is so much more beautiful. The manufacturer states: "Rose apple: Exclusive ingredient from Arabian Oud, a very lush, fruity note with a hint of rose. Green apple: Fruity, green, and refreshing scent." So it is a combination of two different apple scents.

The apple is embedded in a beautiful vanilla, which is light, transparent, and sits perfectly on the woody notes. The musk can only be detected at slightly higher temperatures, adding a masculine tone. And then either from the combination of the components or perhaps it is a standalone perfume oil (maybe the geranium), there is an enchanting additional note that one cannot get enough of. The entire composition is so intense yet transparent and light. Overall, the DNA is a top-notch 1A, 10/10 for my taste.

How does it compare to Boss Bottled? I would compare it the other way around: Once you have smelled and worn Ehsas Khas for a few days and then smell Boss Bottled, the latter seems rather synthetic in comparison, has a scent note that bothers me, and never reaches the strong longevity and sillage of Ehsas Khas. And that was another important criterion for my decision. Opinions may differ, but for me, the H/S is important. I do not want to spend 100, 200, or 300 euros on something that neither I nor others can perceive. The very good H/S combined with this DNA also leads to this very high overall rating. Ehsas Khas is also very versatile, suitable for daytime, nighttime, leisure, or business, warm (except in strong heat) or cold seasons; I always find it very pleasant. It resembles Boss a lot, but it is a standalone, great perfume.

Boss Bottled, but with the dial set to "Loud".
Essentially, "Ehsas Khas | Arabian Oud / العربية للعود" is well described by the title. For me, it’s actually a bit like turning a gain dial on the Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette bottle and cranking up the whole fragrance.
The components all seem to be of slightly higher quality and are more recognizable in the overall blend than in the conventional Bottled DNA. The apple note, for example, is similarly present and perhaps even a bit piercing, crafted like in Layton.

"Ehsas Khas | Arabian Oud / العربية للعود" stands on its own as a distinct and wonderful fragrance. In summary, I would agree with the statement from user Anza: Boss Bottled in better quality and with better performance.

My starting point on the way to this fragrance was indeed the search for a Boss Bottled alternative. I still find Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette to be a beautiful DNA that also brings a bit of nostalgia for me. I also have an old opened bottle at home. The problem: As is well known, Boss Bottled performs about as well as water.

However, with "Ehsas Khas | Arabian Oud / العربية للعود", I believe two interesting options for use have now emerged:
Either you use it, as intended, as a standalone fragrance. Or, for those like me who are also looking for an old Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette nostalgia experience, there is now the option to layer the two. You are combining two very similar fragrances, of course. But what happens then is that "Ehsas Khas | Arabian Oud / العربية للعود" can also be smoothed out again if needed, providing a solid base for Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette.

For anyone longing for a reissue of the old Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette DNA or trying to revive it, this is definitely worth a try!

Too beautiful to be brief
Actually, I wanted to write a statement, but somehow I just couldn't manage to describe the scent adequately in so few words. Yet it’s really not that complex. Citrus and woods share a rather short opening. Then the citrus takes a step back, but remains perceptible in the background. In the foreground, however, comes the freshest vanilla I have ever smelled. It’s probably the combination with the citrus notes and the clean musk. In any case, it results in a vanilla scent that I can absolutely see wearing in spring and summer!
The Ehsas Khas is, as mentioned, not very complex, but the interplay of the fragrance notes makes it special nonetheless. I can't stop smelling my wrist when I wear it.
On top of that, it has a brutal longevity of easily 12 hours. Moreover, it projects really strongly for the first six to seven hours.
I am already very much looking forward to wearing it again!

Uh, uh, uh...
The doorbell rings and you look through your peephole and see your favorite person. He’s a bit nervous, but still confident. He went to the barbershop today because he wanted to impress you. He’s wearing a coat and scarf, he has a slight smile on his lips, he brought your favorite wine and roses. You open the door and hug your darling, and in that moment, you smell HIM, just like YOUR man smells.

I can describe the scent as well-groomed and fresh, and the special thing is the light vanilla, which makes the fragrance romantic and playful.

As another reviewer said, this is an upgraded clone of Boss Bottled Intense. Definitely intentional. Stronger, yes, but a facsimile

This fragrance can cut threw the cold and last for almost the whole day. I smell a lot of oud primarily and the vanilla and cinnamon, florals lastly

Starts with citrus for the first hour, then becomes creamy/woody. Vanilla is very well done. Polished and fresh. HS brutal.

This scent totally blew me away. First fresh, then after an hour super creamy woody vanilla. In the dry down, it slightly reminds me of khamrah.

Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette is better + creamier, that's how I would describe it. It has the missing H/S from Hugo!

Wow! My absolute favorite scent. Initially a luxurious Boss Bottled and then in the dry down it becomes more vanilla and creamy. H+S is also intense...->
