Surprise!... a joyful musky surprise!
I currently have five Khadlaj perfumes and I have to say that I have the best opinion of all of them. They all have a very acceptable or even a very good presentation, which is rare among Middle Eastern perfumers. The sprays are great and the overall quality is above average, especially if you also consider the inexpensive price.
Ombre Notes is no exception and only makes me want to try other Khadlaj perfumes. I began by characterising it as ‘reminiscent of 540 Extrait with a woody twist but also less sweet, less almondy, less intrusive, less performant, less showy, less Kurkdjian and a lot less expensive. It's been a week since I wrote that sentence and I don't know if it still makes sense to me, except for the comment about the attractive price.
To begin my exploratory journey into this perfume, I started by looking at the opinions of some Youtubers. No two opinions were alike, except when they said that Ombre Notes was excellent and didn't seem to be a clone of anything well-known. I completely agree. It's an excellent perfume and doesn't seem to be a clone of anything I know, even if one can conjure up a very slight resemblance to two or three olfactorily unrelated fragrances. Great! It's a new olfactory DNA for me, and a really pleasant one at that.
Some commentators found it dense, heavy on the oud note and almost intrusive... For me, it's a clean perfume, with an almost discreet silage and almost no trace of oud, although with a woodsy dry down. I haven't seen any references to its versatility or the compliments it can generate. For me, it's one of the rare four-season fragrances I know, wearable day or night, effective in a wide variety of situations, and generating pleasant comments wherever I carry it. In my house, which is usually a small discordant assembly when it comes to fragrances, it was unanimous this time: ‘That perfume is very good!’. The ladies said it had a feminine slant, while the men were sure of its masculine footprint. Well... for me it's totally unisex.
It opens musky and slightly citrusy. It remains musky throughout, but before long a note of caramel becomes quite noticeable. One might judge it as a sweet fragrance, but it's only marginally sweet in my opinion. The base becomes more woody (due to a cedar note? a little oud?) and amber. The sillage is only normal, although the longevity is above average. It projects with greater intensity for an hour and a half and in no way behaves like an intrusive perfume. Let's just say that its performance is ‘just right’. In short, it's not a complex fragrance but it's very well blended and a pleasure to wear.

Note: My initial impression of a certain closeness to BR 540 DNA was certainly due to the omnipresent musk and caramel notes.

A 540 Extrait woody twist but less sweet, less nutty, less intrusive, less performant, less flashy, less Kurkdjian and a lot less expensive!
