In the heart of the Dubai souk..
I spontaneously discovered this perfume for the first time during a trip to Dubai in 2021 in the in-house Khalis store in the middle of the Gold Souk.
Mind you, I was in the poorer working-class neighborhood, which is why the store was very narrow and simple.
Looking for a classic souvenir of the souk, I smelled the Amber Oud while testing some of Khalis' fragrances and found it solid at first, but not exceptional.
Due to the low price of the equivalent of 30€, I took the 100ml bottle with me anyway.
At the time, I was not yet able to correctly identify the scent of real oud and appreciate it accordingly.
This changed more and more over time, so that I can now say that there are few equivalent oud fragrances for this price that smell so luxurious and authentic.
In the first opening, you immediately get an authentic oud note, which has a minimal animalic and somewhat spicy aftertaste, while at the same time harmonizing perfectly with the high-quality amber notes. A subtle, powdery note, which loosens up the amber scent somewhat, is also perceptible.
The fragrance perfectly reflects the impressions in the gold souk in the middle of Dubai. The intense heat, the oriental scents, the impressions of economic superlatives, everything is captured compactly in this fragrance.
The fragrance is increasingly persistent, but impresses with the high-quality composition of the ingredients and a solid longevity of around 7 hours.
The sillage does not take up too much space, but you will definitely be noticed if you spray a little more.
All in all, this is a price-performance hit with that certain something and a very authentic oud note, which is also suitable for Western noses.
