I would have liked you so much
I got the Khamrah as a gift and right away: I am unfortunately not a fan.

I have a total problem with Akigalawood.

For me, it's a kind of spicy woodiness that reminds me of rotten/moldy wood, but in a very synthetic way. Quite badly this was with the "Guidance | Amouage" I really did not bear at all.

The fragrance starts very nice gourmandig and smells like baked apple with cinnamon. I was totally happy that I did not smell anything from the Akigalawood. But after a few minutes, this note then rose to my nose, at first only discreetly, but with time more intense.

Directly on the skin it remains very gourmandig for a long time, the sillage, however, consists for me really very quickly exclusively of Akigalawood.

I own, by the way, the "Angels' Share | Kilian" and can really not understand that many smell there a similarity. The Angels Share smells for me intensely hazelnut, woods and cognac and also the sillage is dominated by these notes.

The only common denominator for me is the cinnamon and the classification as winter fragrances.

The Angels Share also smells very linear to me, while the Khamrah has a changing scent progression.

For me, these are two completely independent fragrances.

The flacon, however, I find super high-quality! Since you really get something for your money and if you like the fragrance character, then you really get a very qualitative fragrance. Price-performance ratio therefore top.

That was a trip
Phew, so I actually only wanted to write a short statement, but somehow I have a few more words to get rid of.

I sprayed it on today to test it and the scent knocked me out in the olfactory sense at first. I saw stars at first, I tell you.

I don't know what I perceived, but it was a lot and so dense that it took my breath away. In any case, I am very sure that the pepper contributed greatly to this fragrance impression.

I first put the test strip away in shock and dared to try it again about a minute later.

Now I suddenly really liked it and the scent was also much more assorted. Really blatantly fruity. Dark cherry and plum - definitely synthetic, but not in a bad way.
The rose is also beautiful, very delicate and fine. Due to the fruitiness, the whole thing does not drift directly into a standard rose-oud fragrance.
So I would have given the safe at least an 8.5/10 in the fragrance progression section.

In the meantime, I was doing sports and even though I only had it on a test strip, I still really noticed it.
There was nothing on my hands, there must have been a really fine spray on my clothes or something, so projection is pretty intense.

Yes, and then comes the drydown and unfortunately I don't like it at all. Lots of amber, lots of musk and of course still a hint of oud, the note always comes to stay anyway.

It's a personal thing for me, fragrances like this last forever, but unfortunately I don't really like this kind of base.

Conclusion: A rollercoaster of emotions, it was fun, there were nice moments, I don't necessarily need it again.
