The younger brother of Promise
As the title says, this is the younger brother of Promise, from Frederic Malle, but in a good way. Oman Luxury gives us a less invasive scent than its bigger brother but a truly good ratio price/product. The longevity is one of the most remarkable characteristics . The freshness of the apple combines perfectly with the bulgarian rose and the oud. The depth that this fragrance offers you is truly remarkable, a not conventional smell yet it gives you a certain familiarity with it. Worth every penny.

Have I gotten a sample from a bad batch?
From the house of Oman Luxury I only know Overdose. When visiting Sense Dubai in Warsaw, Nina helped me find the perfect fragrance for me. I said I liked citruses, spices and deep fragrances too, so naturally she presented me Overdose.

As you might remember, I went with Taj from the house of Yas, but with my order, I received three samples. One was Al Malaki and another was from the house of Oman Luxury, namely Oud Aquilaria.

Oud Aquilaria isn't a fragrance I would reach for myself. The main accords are Aromatic, Warm Spicy, Fruity, Rose and Oud. You already know my stance on rose, but the mix of all the other accords sound very strange to me. Needless to say, I am both excited and frightened.

Oud Aquilaria opens with a strange combination of a multum of notes. Aromatic and sweet, but also spicy and ambery. Strangely light, both synthetic and gourmand. After dry down, I cannot describe the fragrance other than being fresh like cucumber with a hint of sweetness from tomato. Has my review suddenly become a salad recipe? I usually don't mind aromatic fragrances, but the combination of an aromatic with this type of spicy fruitiness is not done well. In fact, I would actually call this fragrance bad.

I am surprised to see an apple note, but when done badly, I guess it alludes to cucumber. I am looking at all the other notes and I cannot fathom how this could go so poorly. I wouldn't even think there was rose in this scent if it wasn't stated in the notes.

I honestly think I should leave this review for now and revisit Oud Aquilaria when it becomes warmer or at the peak of summer. Considering how differently my Taj performs in Polish melting heat and in the Danish cold winter, it wouldn't be just to judge Oud Aquilaria solely on a rainy, cold January day.

where are all the good men gone, where are all the gods?
One of the wounds afflicting our society is the absence of heroes—those who inspire through boldness, creativity, and the alignment of their values with their actions. Intelligence, imagination… everything that makes up the fabric of a true hero.

Perfumery suffers from the same wound: while we increasingly favor “adaptability,” “softness,” and a kind of timid subtlety, the alternative is often brute force—loud, aggressive scents.
Oud Aquilaria reminds us what a hero truly is: a fragrance that channels its power toward beauty and justice.

A fresh opening (apple, pink pepper, rosemary) evokes calm, stoicism, a kind of assertiveness that never slides into authoritarianism.
A deep, serious base of oud and amber reminds us that there is a time for laughter, and a time for arms.
And finally, an original twist (sage, clove, and rose) quietly asserts that living for oneself begins with self-knowledge and inner searching.

A fragrance that, like true heroes, does not seek to please everyone.

Anyone who likes Promise will love Oud Aquilaria
I just tested it and I can gladly confirm that it is somewhat similar to Promise by FM. However, it is even easier to wear and friendlier.

For those for whom Promise is too strong and Cypriol combined with green apple is not easy to smell, will quickly become friends with Oud Aquilaria.

For more about this fragrance, you can watch my video, thank you very much.

An Incredibly Beautiful Top Note
With "Oud Aquilaria | Omanluxury," I was particularly impressed by the top note. The only drawbacks are the somewhat sparse base and the improvable sillage. The longevity on my skin is between 8 and 10 hours, but unfortunately, the scent becomes relatively close to the skin towards the end.

I find the top note really strong. It smells fresh-greenish like unripe apples but also spicy-herbaceous with rosemary, sage, cloves, and a subtle peppery note. The heart note has a very floral scent reminiscent of a sea of rose petals. The base is quite subtle and has an oriental-woody scent of oud with a fine amber sweetness.

If the scent had a bit more depth, I would have been completely thrilled. I thank Kevin for the sample.

“Mom, I want FM’s Promise!”
“Honey, we have Promise at home”
Promise at home = Oud Aguilaria.
Friendlier Promise w/o the animalics.

Ropion cloning himself. A greener, leafy and animalic-free Broken Promise. OK overall, not as strong as the OG.

Parfum itself is ok, but it is not the same as Promise AT ALL. Promise is more about Castoreum and much more complicated.

Oriental, a bit aromatic blend with a mix of spices and crispy Apple. Very similar W/ beloved FM Promise by same perfumer, a tad airier.

Wonderful green apple with rosemary opening, then a light rose comes in sustained by woody-smoky notes. One of my fav perfumes of all time.

Its good. A little lighter "fresher" not as dark n complex + not as much boozy apple as Pana Dora Swedish Wood but def in that genre

Heavy, dusty oud with strong projection. Unique yet unwearable for some. Bold creation but too overwhelming for daily use.

Great open w/ apple-rose-oud. Goes darker on skin, only mildly sweet. Cistus/clove add an aromatic spiciness (that I dislike). Fall-winter.

The cheerful rose loves to be teased and has turned quite fruity-green, clove sharpens the edges, and patch-oud provides the foundation.
