Insider Tip

Curiously, I test the sample that I received from dear Can, thank you very much. I find it very helpful when reference fragrances are mentioned in a comment. And Fars, Amber Star, and Star Musk play in a very high league for me. So I had to test Badiah.
We have a beautiful rose oud fragrance here. The opening begins with a dark, smoky rose. At first, the rose is clearly in the spotlight; the opening reminds me of thirty three, while Badiah appears sweeter, powdery, and creamier. And somehow rounder. Oud is clearly noticeable, very fine in the background, dark, smoky, and resinous. No barnyard and also no hairspray note.
However, Amber Star and Star Musk are only hinted at. I mainly smell rose oud, but that is very nice.
Test recommendation for the Parfumos who enjoy this.
And: how and where to acquire Badiah and what the price is, I unfortunately do not know.

Addendum: In the drydown, Badiah is soft, musk comes strongly powdery to the forefront, in contrast to thirty three completely without patch.

Thirty Three is definitely a great reference as well.
