Oriental Wealth
One of the most bewitching and complex, everchanging compositions that I have come across. Sometimes it's spicier, others more honeyed, but for the most wears, it unfolds as this lush exotic floral bouquet with a huge Jasmine leading the way, Oud, Tobacco, and Ambergris in the base, Honey, and Rose to support the Jasmine, and Saffron and spices on the top. I've searched forever for a perfect Oud and Jasmine composition, and although this one is much more than that, it really plays that combo for the most part, I'd say Jasmine-Oud-Ambergris. My favorite use of Jasmine and Oud pairing for sure. Truly royal and opulent.
It starts off very spicy, with Saffron leading the way, and a very high-quality one. A very spicy and hot, fiery opening. Very soon, the Jasmine hits you. Big, assertive, a bit green and creamy, with its narcotic flavor. The Rose and the Honey only provide support and help to round up the Jasmine's profile. The base is a thick, heavy melange of Tobacco, Shamamah, Cambodian Oud, and Ambergris. The Shamamh and the Ambergris play a huge role here, and the Ambergris becomes more prominent as time goes by, almost taking over the Oud and Tobacco. An attar that exudes Oriental wealth and luxury. This is a HUGE, NUCLEAR blend. Might just be the strongest perfume material I have ever tried. You only need a tiny dot of this to nuke an entire house. Therefore, it might be difficult to wear around people. I believe the price is very much justified, given the quality of this attar, and performance. A bottle will last for generations, especially if you are a collector, or own over 50 perfumes. In my opinion, one of the best Oriental perfumes ever created.
