The Souk Faizal Privée 2025

Overture Man vibe: sweet spices with a boozy myrrh edge. Backed by a slightly smoky, chocolaty oud. Musty like a spice bazaar, but too soft.

A very dense fruity opening, almost jammy on my skin. Smoky and resinous nuances arrive later to transport you to a middle eastern market

The market goods - darkened leather, aromatic spices, citrus fruits -, first smoked through with woody resins, open up into something brighter.

A summery oud scent that’s still not sweet or subdued. Airy-light, yet smoky-leathery. Enigmatically simple.

Classic impression of Indian oud. Pepper and citrus initially give a sunny touch. Later, it holds back with leather. Nice.
