Shouq Jazeel 2020

After the first test I thought to myself moment I know that somewhere from and actually reminds me the opening in the first seconds of Alexandria 2. However, this impression evaporates very quickly and it develops a rose-oud combination which I have not smelled in such a perfect form before. The individual notes are perfectly coordinated here and deliver a beautiful performance with just a few sprays (3 in my case). After a while, the fragrance becomes even softer and the balsam rounds off the heart note once again very well.
After I have now tried some Orient fragrances I must say, this has potential to become my signature fragrance. The oud in Shouq is the cherry on the icing and dominates at no time the other fragrances, neither medicinal or animalistic and harmonizes very nicely with the sandalwood and the musk.
The durability is above average in my view and the bottle also looks very nice. Due to the fact that there is so much rose oud fragrances go such treasures unfortunately much too quickly under.
All in all, a super experience which I can put every Orient fan to the heart.
