Wild Animal

Oriental to the fullest. Oud is the star of the show. Curtain after curtain, actors come and go but oud stays true and stays the focal point. Animalic, warm, Spicy and balsamic. Never goes too far in any direction. The combination of Elemi and aromatics make up an unintended eucalyptus note which is in perfect harmony with other notes. A slight sweet honey note is also present which offsets the other heavy notes.

Kneel before the Goddess - Here comes Tempest!

what a beauty! I find it hard to find the right words. I have tested many orientals lately, but they all seem so pale compared to this heavenly elixir. I cannot understand why this fragrance received negative reviews - it MUST be liked. Perhaps it is the real oud that bothers some Western noses. Because this is clearly noticeable in Tempest; for me, however, it is extremely elegantly integrated, never too dominant and only minimally animalistic at the outset. It seems to be quite good oud, which is surrounded by everything that makes it shine in royal beauty. I also notice the citrus notes, they seem real, but are softly embedded. ALZD still lists "Cashmeran" in the fragrance pyramid; unusual in an attar. But I am sure that it has been used here. This fragrance has something incredibly soft, without being sweet. Ginger, lemon, orange; but also the strong oud - everything feels like it is wrapped in a noble woolen blanket. Soft, cushioned - but not sweet. Over time, the fragrance takes on a slightly sweet resinous quality that works wonderfully here. The rose is a classic partner, but does not appear too dominant. Tempest is a fragrance that is reminiscent of a classic Mukhallat. The basic structure is similar, but the execution is almost revolutionary. Just the Cashmeran makes this fragrance float in an incredibly interesting way between completely classic oriental and modern Western interpretation; appearing incredibly noble and sublime. This Al Kimiya is one of the most beautiful fragrances I have had the pleasure of smelling lately; unfortunately at a correspondingly high price. But forget Roja-Ouds or similar gimmicks. This is classic beauty interpreted in a modern and most elegant way.

Magic is a Chaste Rose-Oud Combination

"Sometime am I all oud with roses, who, with thorny tongues, do prick me into boredom." (stanza, freely adapted from Shakespeare)

Tempest is said to be inspired by The Tempest (premiered in 1611) by William Shakespeare, claims the official website. Specifically inspired by the magic and alchemy in The Tempest.

The main character is Oud, the deposed Duke of Milan, who lives on some island with his daughter Rose.
To prevent Rose from becoming an old maid, he persuades Cedar to cause a shipwreck.
So that the stranded Prince Patchouli and Rose do not become active before marriage, he convinces Cedar to host a "Masque." This is a Renaissance party with music, singing, and acting. The masque is both Rose's and Patchouli's engagement celebration and is meant to show the lovers the value of chastity (!)

(Chastity is also better when wearing Tempest.)

Oud tries to solve his problems with magic (Cedar). But then realizes that blackmail works better with some people. I find that a nice lesson. If magic is a rose-oud combination, then I would prefer something else. I would even take the blackmail, maybe it's green or citrusy.

Tempest is significantly more durable than a performance of The Tempest, but its sillage does not fill an entire theater. Contrary to my statement in my review, I find Tempest quite animalistic. How much or how little animalistic I find it probably depends on my mood.

You can wear Tempest at work if you are a poet, as well as in the evening or when going out if you are drunk. In a theater, you might run into problems. Family tester Q once ate garlic before going to the theater, and that did not go over well. Tempest does not smell like garlic, but on some days it smells like goat. In The Tempest, there is a character named Caliban, who is half monster, half human. A kind of pest, just not so nice. I think Tempest would suit him well.

It is not worth mentioning how often one inhales oxygen..

.. rather, it is a spectacle when we are left breathless.

So experienced and lived through. With this fragrance.

A beautiful delicate, oily layer that glides over the skin like a golden veil.
This right from the start - slightly citrusy, peppery, and infused with ginger.
Resinous drops that fall onto the warmed skin with a gentle sound.
Accompanied by soft rose tones that charm and flute against the warm wind in the twilight.
Everything overshadowed by a warm, earthy tone, finely enveloped by light wood.
Gently kissed by the moon when it dives deep.
A blooming thunderstorm full of security and love.
Lavender timidly at the edge - the rose becoming ever richer and more blooming.
Red, velvety fabric that glides through the legs and clings tightly to them.
A lightning-fast whip of something animalistic, paired with a spicy layer of vetiver and cedar, pushes further forward.
The heart pumping to the limit - roses scattered everywhere in the black sea of my senses.
I delve deep within myself and gather all the good impressions of the day, and I must smile.
It gives me so much warmth and happiness that my body trembles with excitement.
Everything then beautifully blends together - it feels as if they were all made for each other. I can sleep and frolic with it - it withstands much and is a long and faithful companion!

What opulence spreads out here! The oil lingers for a long time on my skin, making it feel soft and cared for, while a very strong scent also settles in the room, showing everyone: "Look here, I am present. You can touch and feel me!"

The perfume has extreme longevity, and the sillage is not for the faint-hearted, who immediately bury their heads in their jackets when they smell a bit more perfume. Tempest is one of those scents that must be ranked among the top tier in terms of sillage and longevity.

A fragrance - that simply takes my breath away, out of sheer beauty!
They say that everyone walks their path alone..
and I have thought this way for years.
But every story must be reconsidered twice
and told, so it does not fade.
Memory and feeling are an important treasure..
And so it happens that it is not worth mentioning how often one inhales oxygen,
but rather how often we are left breathless.

Dreamy?! Yes, a masterpiece!

Due to the exciting comment from Terra, I bought this oil a few weeks ago, without testing it beforehand, on a whim. I believe it was even the last Attar oil available... presumably, it will no longer be produced as Attar oil...

What can I say? No regrets!!!! Probably the best thing in my collection now...
With this complex work, I don’t need to go into the details, as everything has already been described wonderfully, and I find it quite difficult to articulate... it all feels so dense, complex together...

The scent is a balance (my initial impressions) of minty-ethereal freshness, a fruitiness that somehow blends warm and spicy, and also aims for a sweet, balsamic, heavy direction, but keeps turning back and floats as a unit. Either it is simply perfectly crafted, or it is the Oud that is responsible for this roundness, this fine touch.

The other scents I bought there and even before have never been "bad," always something new, different, but THIS one stands out!

Since I learned about ILM and HAYAT from my colleague one day, I knew exactly, THIS one can be bought blind even if it cost twice as much.
