Lovely scent

I love the scent. Although I do find it much more on the feminine side so perhaps for a male to were this, best would be winter, and colder seasons. It's pretty strong stuff indeed so this little 65 ml lasts a long time. Presentation looks really luxurious. I think the scent will appeal to almost anybody. The oud in here is very safe.

25 degrees+? PLEASE NOT!

This is how I felt today, when the sprayer of Qasamat Morhaf (QM) slipped away easily !

I should have been warned about Arabic fragrances, that quiet fragrances are not necessarily in the bottle, but what should happen and 4!!! FOUR!!! Sprayed on arm bend and shirt.

Boom...explosion...roses fly uncontrolled through the bill...meet me everywhere.
Just hit it, I'm powerless.
But wait...what's that???
Sugar trickles from the ceiling, accumulates...suddenly I stand knee-deep in the sugar from which roses grow.

How do I get all this back from the apartment ?

Desperation spreads..through the window I see radiant sunshine...that thermometer shows 25 +...
Sweat beads run over my forehead...my sweetheart comes from the next room (whether from the scent or my snap breathing? I don't know)

Her eyes are widening and you're driving away "Boah boy, what's up with you"...

Okay, now there's no time to lose...

I wade through a sea of roses, it sticks...
The shirt more torn from the body than unbuttoned and with last strength in the laundry basket sunk....the door is closed...it gets better.

Summary:
It sounds like it, but it's not a tear :)

I made only 2 elementary mistakes:

1. Overdosage
2. The wrong season

I really like the scent itself, only it is definitely meant (at least on my male skin) for the winter and there also economical to dose.
It is, as noted, room-filling.

On closer inspection, I also hear other fragrances, but they are still developing.

There will also be a supplement to the winter test.
Because I believe firmly in the fact that the smell comes better !

At least I'm smarter now :)

Bois 'n Roses featuring S. Lutens

Wait a minute... no, this is not meant to be a comment in English. If I could do it, I'd write in Arabic But all from the beginning. With a beloved Parfumo member (thank you, dear Michael) I made a fragrance exchange. This "Qasamat Morhaf" was chosen by me as a barter object. Only a tiny note was available on his page (see below) and DIE was decisive for my choice.
I love woody-tart, rosy-floral, mossy-earthy scents.
I don't regret my choice. The fragrance keeps more than what I promised due to the statement.
As soon as I spray it on, I notice the concentrated load of ingredients, which all land safely on my wrist. Without disturbing initial boastful notes, which then flux the bux seemingly disappear as fast as they appeared, but wait lurking for them to strike again.
With this "Rasasi" everything is harmoniously coordinated, whereby only the intensities of the main notes suggest a so-called scent pyramid.
In the already woody scent beginning there is something like a minty overtone, which could come from rose geranium.
The ROSE as such suggests Turkish Rose or Damascus Rose, so deep and "rose-spicy" it comes across.
Woods wrap it up, it should be oud, cedar and sandalwood, very high quality.
I enjoy the perfume and have always a thought in the back of my mind...
"Somehow I've smelled a similar scent before... longer ago...don't know..
where from and when...?" That's when it crosses my mind: Lutens perfume, the "wood phase" of his work.... "Cedere" comes to mind, as does "Santal Majuscule"... exclusive and mature and not exactly cheap in price.
Qasamat al Morhaf could be the pedigree of these two fragrances.
Not "cribbed", but as the basis of Lutens' ideas, an inspiration for his own creations.
Rasasi, I think, lets a lot of old Arab scent art flow into his perfumes. Many of them are only available in the respective countries.
By the easy opening to "western" states nevertheless luckily again and again such "treasures" arrive with us.......Fragrance treasures of the finest!!!

An enrichment

The caravan makes its way through the desert. Shimmering flickering, the outline of the destination becomes apparent in the distance. A city surrounded by high walls, slightly elevated built on a hill. Some towers of the palace tower awe-inspiringly over the protective walls with golden roofs. The city is in the hard-guided hands of the Sultan, a ruler who does not tolerate any breaking of the rules. The X-shaped poles tied up and carved into the ground, with their bodies stretched out, partly lifeless and partly still connected to life, speak volumes of those who have trampled underfoot on its laws. Inside the ruling house, the preparations of the new arrivals have been in full swing for days. Nothing is left to chance. The caravan does not suspect much of the hustle and bustle in the cool walls a few miles out in the desert sand. The Tross consists of dense columns of two. He is led by riders wrapped in black on splendid moulds adorned with tinkling golden jewellery bridles. The rows are interrupted by a camel litter, which is accompanied on both sides by another rider and at the end by a special guard. Immediately behind the palanquin rides Arman, the man who has bought for the ruler in the palace on the slave market three day rides from here, the jewel inside. The arrival of the pirate ship with the noble lady from the west had spread quickly. In the city by the sea, known for its human trafficking, many of the surrounding houses of rank and name have offered their buyers, who were to buy them at auction. As expected, the Sultan let human goods cost him quite a bit and, thanks to his numerous bidders on the day of sale, one of them was awarded the contract as expected.
At a steady pace, the caravan moves further and further towards the city in the distance. The lady inside the camel litter awaits the entrance into the harem of the ruler. She will remain there until his disgrace or her natural death.
Aman, the successful bidder, does not let the sedan chair out of his sight for a second in front of him with the precious good, and when it is lost, the same fate blossoms for him as that of the men tied up outside the city gates, for example, through robbery. While the remaining guards keep an eye on the surroundings, he secures the human cargo. Again and again a scent blows from the inside of the sedan into his face. Behind red and orange stepped and airy, translucent veils weighted down with pearl strings and golden borders, he can recognize the outline of the lady. Every now and then a sparkle of her lavish jewellery flashes in the rhythm of the moving camel behind the curtains. But immediately Aman is distracted again by the scent that blows around him from the sparkle. As an experienced advisor to the ruler in culinary and olfactory matters, he knows about the magic of scents of all kinds of origins and has contributed greatly to the enrichment of the cuisine and the scenting of the harem and the ruling chambers. It is therefore easy for him to classify the components of the scent from the sedan chair. He perceives a full-bodied Damascus rose. It has rustic flower heads, densely lined in rich pink and almost bursting, which exude a heavy, sweet, spicy scent. The rose is carried by a little lemon and a riper raspberry underlining the scent of the rose. The sweetish aspect is loosened by a peppery note, but never emerges from its trail. Again and again Aman blows the seductive combination of flowers and fruits into the face and although the sun is burning, this does not seem to stop the development of the fragrance. The delicious elixir wafts densely from the inside of the sedan chair to caress its face again and again. Under other circumstances, he would almost forget his task, but he must concentrate. The view of the sedan chair and the hearing of the surroundings. While the rose and its fragrant companions continue to waft around him, he also perceives jasmine. It lets the other scent traces shine even more nobly and gives even more depth. What has changed during the ride is that the scent has gained in warmth through amber and woody notes, but also a gentle vanilla touch. The rose, however, dominated the fragrance throughout the journey. Aman questions whether the lady in the sedan might have chosen this scent herself if she had not been deprived of it.
For him in any case a lady from distant western climes, appearing here as an exotic, with such an exquisite scent, who is anxious to do justice to her beauty, would truly be an enrichment...

Who never hunted and never loved,
never sought the scent of flowers
and never trembled at the sound of music,
is not a human being, but a donkey.
(Arab.Proverb)

Not what I expected

I expected so much from Qasamat Morhaf and was ultimately quite disappointed.
With all the fruity notes, I was looking forward to a fruity-rosy fragrance with a niche character.

Because, unfortunately, I can detect almost nothing of the fruits.
For me, the opening smells like disinfectant with "oud".
It's terrible and somehow far too oriental for my taste.

At some point after a few minutes, I notice rose and pepper the most of all the notes.
But neither smells really realistic.
You constantly have this oudy note in the foreground which almost suffocates everything else.
There is also a very present oriental musk note, which almost has a leathery effect in combination with the oud.

In the DD, jasmine clearly comes to the fore.
The raspberry that I was hoping for is unfortunately not present at this point either.
Until the end, I don't notice anything else except musk, oud, jasmine and a little rose in the background.
The vanilla ultimately makes it sweeter and somewhat more pleasant.
But that can't really save the fragrance either.
Because I don't always want to have to wait 2 hours.

On the whole, the fragrance reminds me of the old Lattafa, Armaf & Co. Fragrances at a time when these brands were still launching a lot of synthetic, oriental fragrances that didn't exactly smell great.

The performance is not that strong, at least as far as my bottling is concerned.
I perceive the fragrance on my skin for a maximum of 6.5 hours.
The radiance is ok, would have expected more here too.
Could also be me, or the person I bought the AF from simply had a bad batch.

Definitely unisex the Morhaf.
Perfect for this time of year when it's slowly but surely getting colder.

My conclusion: Not for me, just completely different than expected and the notes that are present here just don't suit my taste.
But if you like Armani Privé - Rose d'Arabie you might be satisfied with this fragrance.
It's definitely not a safe blind buy, despite many positive reviews.
