Doubt, the initial disdain, and the path to acceptance and more....
Hello, everyone,
Let's get straight to the preface:
I, being crazy, bought you as a 50ml bottle blind - I advise against this for everyone!
Why such a purchase?
Fragrances from EO are works of art and should be treated as such; wearing them "daily" is fine, but I wouldn't do it.
The point was a mix of the thrill of the unknown (new - I don't know it), I can usually imagine a scent very well and somehow I wanted to have a direction like this, and by the way, many fragrances from the brand (EO) are quite animalistic...., I can tolerate this up to a certain level as long as it is supportive + only briefly noticeable. But beyond a certain level, I'm out, and here it is not so!
(THANKFULLY!)

About the scent:
Still, we had some minor differences at first, in terms of roughness, darker woodiness, and subtle sweetness.
What do I mean by that?
The subtle sweetness is the smallest part of the "triangle," and the more prominent parts here are the smoke and the wood. "Triangle" because it feels like you are surrounded by the first two for the first 2 hours, and there is a tug-of-war between the scent notes about which is the "stronger," and I didn't like that so much.
After x weeks of distance, new attempt, and I ACCEPT it now without problems...
BUT...?
(Personal thought!)
The amount of sprays makes the poison. But 3 1/2 or 4 makes it too dense, too voluminous for me, and I feel like it fights more against me than with me, and a scent shouldn't disturb or annoy me, so I always take 2 to 3 sprays and everything is cool!
In itself, it is a dark woody scent with a decent amount of smoke and a subtle, non-annoying sweetness. However, that sweetness is quite unique, as it is a relatively pleasant, noticeable rose that does NOT come off like jam, as for example in "Jamaican Ambergris | Ensar Oud / Oriscent" or "Jamaican Ambergris Attar | Ensar Oud / Oriscent," but rather a kind of dry sweetness that is really uncomplicated.
After about 2 hours, that sweetness disappears, and the "Oud Sultani: Brunei Kynam | Ensar Oud / Oriscent" becomes slowly creamier and creamier, and combined with the wood and the subtly fading smoke, in my opinion, is a very, very nice stage!
BUT I really recommend only 3 sprays ;) .
H/S is good+ to very good
(varies a lot depending on the weather when you wear it)
How does it come across:
EOs usually do not go over well with the general public = this is because they are not made for "everyone," but they are works of art that want to be seen as such. Therefore, there is no EO that always gets a top rating, BUT the "Oud Sultani: Brunei Kynam | Ensar Oud / Oriscent" is one of the better and lighter ones (and not an animalistic club like others).
When and where:
September to May.
Indoors, please dose relatively sparingly (in the sense of max. 2 to 3x).
And outside "just do it" ;) - no more than 5 (max.!), otherwise you might also be greeted with headaches like I was.
In general...
It is and remains special and should be used as such, otherwise its MAGIC may fade very quickly, and wearing such an expensive fragrance almost daily = you can do it, but I advise against it, also financially...
Additionally, I recommend testing it on the skin and not just on the sprayer and/or on paper, because then you might have 2 different fragrances = trust me, Benny!
The dear money / the purchase price:
I am tired of discussing whether a purchase is sensible or not; in this regard, it is very relative, and my views may not be the same as yours and vice versa... . From a purely commercial perspective (which I also am), I can say = test it, then we'll see!
And now have a nice day/evening or whenever you read this review, best regards, Benny
