Unlike its normal version, Peau d'Orris , this version is significantly oilier, richer in Syhlet oud, which can be detected throughout the fragrance, much more osmanthus (with hints of civet) and the full-bodied base note (where I perceive castoreum more strongly) is definitely more present. The iris is present but more blended into the mixture, less decisive and prominent than its counterpart. Oakmoss is also present, but less decisive and perceptible. The higher concentration and quantity of certain notes has made it decidedly more full-bodied, bold and persistent (it is practically indelible) and also more animalic. If someone were to smell it without knowing it was a Wasif, they would say it was an Ensar oud. I really liked its younger brother, but this one is perhaps even better. A masterpiece. Literally the brother on steroids. Bottle 2/12.
