2005 in Dubai
i was enchanted by that smell. I have already bought it several times, in the meantime you can also buy it online in Germany. For me the epitome of the oriental nights, whereby I always have Morocco in my head: Narrow lanes, dusty, also a little bit dirty, it smells from the open shops of fruits, unusual food and spices, there in front the door opens and some friends from the Hammam come in a good mood..... and when a breeze from the direction of the desert comes up.... then I arrived in 1001 nights.
And that is where I feel transported when I wear my Dubai scent. Not glamour, but original foreign scents, all united and captured in a charming bottle.
I will always buy it again :)

A beauty from Arabia
Saffron clearly sets the pace for my nose here. I also notice a little green apple, which underlines the bitterness, the bergamot adds a dash of freshness, which in turn does not detract from the initial tone. The bitter spiciness that catches the whole thing is tingling and (challenging), but nevertheless not unpleasant, only unfamiliar. One can already ask oneself male or female, because through the whole process I have the feeling that he is at home on both sides. It takes a moment before the fragrance becomes a little more conciliatory with my nose and gets warmer and warmer. From this moment on, the cinnamon note is clearly recognizable and how it puts the opening aromas somewhat in their place. In general, Kashkha becomes friendlier and more balsamic from here on. On the head of the lavishly decorated gold bottle is a small hat crowned with a rather light, amber-coloured and faceted stone. For me, this colour matches my perception of the scent. For a long time, the head and heart notes remain unchanged in their blend, which have lost some of their initial exuberance from the cinnamon, but have not become boring as a result. Kashkha has facets like his gemstone on the bottle. If you like to wait before judging too quickly, you will also experience the woody impacts of oud and cedar, which keep the fragrance in balance between feminine and masculine. Undoubtedly there is still a lot of warmth radiating here, which gives the initially somewhat angular aroma somewhat more flowing and softer contours. Kashkha is definitely a water that needs time and rest to develop and show its true self. One could be tempted, as with a book, to make a judgement only on the basis of the cover, but without having read a single page from it. Here you first have to disregard the bottle and the first impressions and allow the fragrance more time to unfold than is often the case. The skin chemistry of this work is likely to have even more effect than it already does, as the aromas are sometimes a bit bitter at first. But the development is always exciting and as said before, who gives the droplet this while will be rewarded with a beautiful and velvety amber note with some musk. She captures everything that has gone before and embeds it in an incredible softness that gives the fragrance a certain depth and sensuality. The spice from the beginning always remains with you, which still wafts discreetly but perceptibly and tickles your nose. This transformation works better on my skin than on fabric. On the tissue the own skin warmth is missing, which still drives the smell and the spiciness remains there somehow meaningless.

Kashkha means beauty .
And beauty is known to be in the eye of the beholder. Since I also enjoy beautiful bottles, the content is more important to me personally.

The scent is bright, fresh, spicy and woody for my perception, with a wonderful amber finish that burrows on its notes and does not point in one direction.
That's what makes it so exciting for me and it's worth a new discovery every time.

With Kashkha I have a fragrance in my collection, the content and beauty of which even outshines its golden shell...

Polish & Finesse
The whole business of perfumes & the price of them is such a very delicately balanced matter. I have decided to give these Near-Eastern (I'm afraid I ^am^ going to take my cue fræ the stricter historical scholars here & say 'Near East' rather than 'Middle East') 'fumes a fair & open-minded assay. I am ^very^ impressed! The only thing they lack compared to the perfumes of the great Western perfume houses is a certain polish & finesse. So, are we willing to pay three four or five times the price again just for that polish & finesse? Apparently we are! Ought we to? Well, as I said @ first, the pricing of perfumes is a very delicate matter - and a perfume is something you ^put on yourself^ & is with you perpetually for hours thereafter. So that the significance of that ~mere polish & finesse~ can in fact become disproportionately large. This is evinced by a pattern that emerges when one reads a considerable number of reviews of these 'fumes: at first saying there is virtually no difference between them & their multiple-times-as-expensive western counterparts, followed by observation of subtle deficiencies, and eventually culminating in sometimes even the expedient of actually binning them.

My opinion is, that if one keep in mind that limitation - that certain lack of polish & finesse -, & adjust one's expectations accordingly, they are ^phænominal^ value-for-minlet! I have some, & I certainly shall be using them.

Actually, this one is not a particularly striking example of the principle just-expounded, as it is not particularly inexpensive. It is a very fair & well-integrated oudy 'fume with a very acceptible synergy of soapy-musky, ambry, floral, & oudy.
