Aamal from the Arab House of Perfumery Niche Haute Luxury Nabeel from the Second Generation of The Spirit Of Dubai Exclusive Line is a Oriental Woody Coriaceous Amber Smoky Incensed Fruity Spicy Floral Unisex perfume; It was released in 2017. An ultra-niche collection; that by becoming a personification of the city, The Spirit Of Dubai collection was inspired and paid tribute to him. Aamal, like other creations of the brand, brings the opulence of traditional Arab perfumery with smoked woods and resins mixed with the refinement of French perfumery with the addition of fruity floral accords very present, a signature of The Spirit Of Dubai line.
Aamal starts with a vibrant and citrusy bergamot exit, already quickly intertwining the rich elegance of a sumptuous bouquet of captivating roses and the warm and spicy footprint of a very leathery saffron, referring to a leather already quite smoky also at this beginning that already promises a lot. I also feel this exit complemented by a fruity accord dominated by the bittersweet acidity of the green apple and the soft sweetness of the peach, revealing a rich blend of aromas that welcome with a fresh and fruity lushness.
In the central part of this fragrance, the woody note of an easy oud enhanced by cipriol intertwine in a harmonious dance of mystery and sophistication. This union added to the creaminess of sandalwood creates a rich woody heart, while the incensed and sweet benzoin with patchouli add a heady ambery warmth. The floral and saffron notes offer a sensual and seductive nuance, balanced by the softness of dry woody cedar and the sweetness in the measure of vanilla. A soft dark hint of hot spiced coffee brings a brief aromatic arabesque hint.
As Aamal deepens towards drying, it reveals a warm and sensual base of amber with musk. The super-sized amber adds a golden warmth that envelops the fragrance as a whole, while the musk combined with the castoreum provide an animalic leathery depth. With the finishing touch of a smoky metallic 'oud it adds an earthy element and anchors the fragrance in unmistakable oriental territory, and frankincense and green woods reinforce the smoky and earthy woody character of the fragrance. Another excellent creation with very good performance!
