A mixture of Gualtieri's better works. Raspberry chocolate and geosmin. Fresh juniper, a base of spiced leather. For $30? An absolute steal.

Best of the bunch! Surprisingly good for the price. Maahir Legacy (white bottle) is ho-hum. Haven't tried Maahir (gold bottle) but looks to be a typical synthetic rose-oud.

@Smirky yeah IDK about sedley, unless sedley is just a basic-ass lavender-sage-geranium "colognes" that lasts 4 hours tops. Back to regular Maahir - it's very much unisex, though, so don't expect any masculine notes to jump out at you.

@TheDunkPapa oh, really?!? I guess I'll have to try it to see for myself. I was put off by the notes, so only sampled white and black. Just goes to show a list of notes doesn't tell the entire story. The white bottle is supposedly a dupe of PdM Sedley, which I've never tried so don't know how close of a dupe it is.

The "regular" Maahir is actually... Quite original smelling and of surprisingly decent quality? Yeah, I know. It's a very pleasant, creamy/Woody/floral concoction that bears some resemblance to others of its kind, but isn't really a dupe of anything. And isn't a rose oud! A little wacky, huh?

Oh, akigalawood in the gold bottle, abort the mission soldier! @Smirky
Funnily enough, black edition didn’t seem smoky at all after testing Vi Et Armis yesterday.
