This is the 1st swiss arabian from this collection that I have.
For the price that I paid this is insanely good.
Spicy, sugary-sweet, smoky, woody, thick.. And add a teaspoon of honey to that. (Or even more).
Deffinitely has similarities with Honey Aoud and I don't try to overdo but this seems even a bit stronger and bolder than the Montale. The oud is a bit more refined on montale but regarding the price.. Cannot complain.
The performance is very strong to my nose. Two sprays on a tester smelled for hours in the air, being present in more than 1 room.
We can call this room(s) filler if you will. Versatility will be limited towards colder nights, being a dark and mysterious scent.
Even if the azraq translates to blue (if I am not mistaken), this should be the darkest of blue.
If you are a fan of darker/woodier/sweeter scents and find this at a decent price, you can deffinitely pull the trigger.
As always, try before you buy (if you have the chance).

Overall : 8.5/10

Boss Bottled Absolu on Amphetamines
Azraq is a honey laced incense bomb that is absolutely fantastic. It is close cousin to Honey Aoud by Montale and the classier brother to Boss Bottled Absolu.

Upon your first spray you’ll be greeted with a sweet blast of honey and a subtle oud. As it transition you’ll be embraced by incense and sweet amber. The vanilla will linger in the background to provide some depth. Upon full dry down the incense and amber take center stage with some leather singing in the background chorus.

Be warned, this fragrance is legit beast mode in both longevity and projection. It will project a solid 8 hours and it can be smelled on the skin after 18 hours.

If you enjoy Boss Bottled Absolu you will love this middle eastern banger.

Christmas/Winter Beast!
About the scent:
As it is mentioned in the top notes, you will smell honey and oud. Then, a strong cinnamon shows up, which I do not like that much. Even though the leather and vanilla take the place after a while, cinnamon is still there. In the end, I smell mostly vanilla rather than leather. I can say it is such a Christmas and New Year fragrance, which would be great for wintertime usage. From this view, it gives me a bit of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanilla vibe but more masculine and less vanilla intensity.

About the longevity and sillage:
From my point of view, longevity and sillage are pretty high! Swiss-Arabian brand does it well!

About the bottle and value for money:
I usually do not care about the bottle that much. However, it is not bad, even though it is not the best one. It is about €65-70 in the market, which is not expensive for this scent, but a bit overpriced according to the brand.

Wow!....
This is a wow type of fragrance. It's sweet honey & vanilla with depth. Although my daughter smelled the dry-down on my arm and she said: smells like poop with perfume..... I don't detect any poopy elements......Of course there is this oud in the background I assumed mostly present in the first 20 minutes but apparently also there in the drydown. To me it's an excellent & deliscious scent, high quality, with addictive properties. It's limited edition and it's in the mid price range, absolutely worth the money.

Cinnamon, honey and oud bomb
Cinnamon, honey and oud bomb. Exactly to my nose! It smells like frosted cinnamon rolls coated with a drizzle of honey smeared across dirty wood. Super potent and can fill up a room. This bottle is going to last me forever. I prefer to use it as a layering component. Not for everyone but the price beat honey aoud by far.
Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase :)

Get this if you can and you are a lover of cinnamon/honey scents.

Smells like "Honey Aoud from Montale". I dare to say this smells better. Lasts a very long time. A winner!

I don't like the smell of oud at first, but later it develops into a beautiful fragrance full of other notes.

Sickeningly sweet and thick honey - slightly medicinal in some way. Tried to give this a chance but the scent profile isn't for me.
