Emarati Musk Hind Al Oud / هند العود

Vanilla Valhalla
People! I have died and gone to heaven! Like, a combination of all heavens ever known to man. The Da Vinci's golden ratio drawing flashes before my eyes along with all depictions of heaven combined, I see a rainbow and at its end - golden gates, and a garden, where among delectable fruit trees walk deities of all cultures and religions.
Without exaggeration - this juice is incredible. THE best vanilla ever. It has everything - the sweetness of vanilla, the tartness of fruit, the bitterness of leather, all perfectly measured out in ideal proportions.
On first spritz, I get fresh and juicy, fruity notes blending into a tangy sweetness and the softest, lightest animalic notes. My nose could not tell between the flowers mentioned in the pyramid here, to me it smells like a slightly bitter bubble-gummy tuberose. The vanilla is syrupy and thick with fruit, like date syrup, with a slightly milky or creamy undertone (think "figgy milky", not "European pastry buttery"). This all lays over the thinnest, most exquisite fine leather. I had no idea oud could be this beautiful!
The composition is linear, you hear all the notes at once, which marks it as an Arabian type of composition. This is not a criticism, rather a defining characteristic. Although the notes are all there, all at once, the fragrance is iridescent and alive.
Sillage is very very good - my husband smelled it from three meters away and immediately said "something smells really good" - before I even had the time to ask him; and that's coming from someone who rarely comments my fragrances unprompted!
I am drunk with this fragrance, it's unlike anything I've ever smelled before. I am all out of adjectives and descriptions to tell you about how beautiful it is - it is indeed unisex, as much as angels and gods are genderless, as this perfume is truly heavenly!
