Turkish roses are beautiful, but Khaan leaves a lot to be desired
I was very sceptical when I was paying retail for the 30ml bottle. I have to say that roses are my weakness, especially Turkish roses. I like this perfume but it does not blow me away. It is powdery, juicy, strong rose garden with barely noticable oud. It lasts throughout the day and becomes hazy before disappearing. A little linear. Perhaps I have gotten a different batch, as I am seeing some reviews say there is intense oud.
My batch reminds me of Rose Tonnerre from Frederic Malle a little bit, but I think the rose oil used here is better quality, and Khaan is not as powdery.
Issues.... isuees... Filtration is very amateur. The juice has visible particles dancing inside (not in a Roja Haute Luxe way, these are unintentional). I am not sure if this is an artistic choice, but I wouldn't assume that failure to filter properly would have anything to do with it.
Perfumer.... is a character I must say. However, I shall not criticize the man, but only his creation.
If there is a discount, I'd say go for it. If you like roses as much as I do, you will enjoy this one. I would layer it with a little bit of oud from burning oud chips really make it pop if you have the same batch as I do.
