London Widian / AJ Arabia 2018

Right at the beginning: I like to smell leather - just not actually on people.
For me, the note never had something attractive and therefore "london" had never really had a chance with me to be tested times.
But as fate would have it I ordered me a few different samples and this one was rather a spontaneous co-order to save on shipping costs.
Quite spontaneously I spray me the on the wrist and leave the others only once outside.
And then it happens. Do you know that? You rise a fragrance in the nose and suddenly you are catapulted to a special place and a special time.
Suddenly there are stirring in emotions that take you on a very special journey. And in this case, it's a trip in the finest luxury sports car with leather interior you can imagine. This leather / raspberry combination is simply magical! And I don't think much needs to be said about the bottle. A work of art which deserves admiration.

Now to the fragrance itself.
In the opening I perceive oud already, but not unpleasantly pungent but very Smooth and well matched with the other notes. Nothing musty or standing, which could tarnish the elegance of the fragrance.
I immediately get this feeling to smell something that is familiar to me and what triggers a comforting feeling in me. The leather is soft and harmonizes so incredibly well with the raspberry that I can no longer turn my nose away. I really have to sniff my wrist every 2-3 minutes. This fragrance is elegant and has a commanding presence for several hours (at least on my skin), without slaying you or the people around you.
Amber and vanilla give the fragrance hintenraus still a warmth with and round off perfectly for me.
To make it short at the back:

This fragrance deserves more attention. If you have not smelled him yet, test him. He will please you.
