Soft oriental megamare
I tested this perfume today in Birmingham...
When I tested it, I immediately recognised the DNA of the fragrance.
I knew the DNA was of a perfume I knew but could place it...
I wanted to know what DNA it was, and I read the review of darioargento below...
He nailed it... The DNA is of that of megamare, but less harsh and smoother blended.
The feeling I get with stellar oud is...
A more oriental version megamare.
Soft Aquatic, soft salty, and like a leathery accord.. not a harsh leather but more like a suede-leather... If that makes since.
Now +-6 hours ago that I tested it by 3 sprays on my wrist and still very detectable.
Even when I move my arm, I smell it in the air around me...
This is a good and likeable perfume... If megamare is to harsh to your nose, but you like the DNA, then try this one... Big chance you will like this more...
Quality-price this is 9/10
Khadlaj has some very good clones, or inspired by perfumes... This is one of them...
Also try their amouage reflection version... It's a banger

Santal medecine
This Perfume opens like it's described.
Spicy, energetic, a bit bitter... Bergamot I detected immediately. The spice is cardamom, like I smell when I drink somalian tea...
Some minutes later it becomes more creamier and woody smelling. Definitely the sandalwood popping up.
It goes the direction of TF santal blush, but S.B. smells a little bit more Floral and little skanky nuance (maybe the oud?).
Also comparable to Dunhill's Indian sandalwood.
Once it's dried down completely, I detect something medecinal / pharmaceutical.
When I close my eyes I see myself in a white-store pharmacy.
But at the same time it gives a boozy vibe.
Overall, it does smell a little bit synthetic, but not in an unpleasant way.
I Prefer this one over TF santal blush.
Scent: 7,75/10
Sillage: 7/10
Projection: 7/10

Masterclass
I will start my review with this... Waaw , what a masterpiece... Class, well-crafted, gorgeous
If this sultan was an atlete hé would have been Usain bolt.
If this sultan was a boxer, hé would have been Mohamed Ali.
If this sultan was a basketballplayer, hé would have been Michael Jordan.
And if Maradona would have sniffed this stuff instead of the white powder, then people wouldn't even argue about who would be the best soccer player ever...
This of art starts pungent, green, little bit of earthyness.... It projects immediately...
You don't need to sniff this from the back of you hand to smell... This penetrates the nose... Like a bankrobber... No nice knocking on a the door.
After 30 min it starts to transition into a more soapy-feeling and fuller vetiver... Must be by the neroli, and the Bourbon vetiver.
It becomes less pungent and more rounded.
And this without losing any of its character, its class. This takes serveral hours (didn't time it)...
And then the final transition... This is even more .... Hmmmm.
Nice vetiver, with nice leather accord, and touch of amber that gives it a warm, cosy, creamy twist.
Sometimes I get also some hints of smokeyness...
The leather is not comparable to the leather as in Tom Ford tuscan, ombre leather or Louis Vuitton ombre nomade...
But more as in Hermes cuir d'ange, soft and nice smelling
Pure masterclass...
Use with caption...
I use 3 sprays and it filled the room...
I applied 18pm and 8 am it is still very detectable and present...
In the category of vetiver perfumes the winner is nishane sultan vetiver
With the worden of Tina Turner: you are simply the best, better than all the rest...
What? Tom Ford Grey vetiver
What? Terre d'hermes
What? Erminigildo Zegna wisdom
They are not even on the finish photo
Longevity, sillage, projection, smell

Disappointed
Tried this 1 hour ago.
Opening is spicy-citric. Nice but not groundbreaking.
Very quickly iris and some sweetness come into play.
Once dried down (less than 30min) it turns into a skin-scent...
Clean musk, some vetiver, some wood... Do I get the Tonka... Not so much....
Need to hold my nose to my arm to smell it.
Conclusion: the scent on it's own is good... Projection is bad... I see them on the net for 150€... I would say: save your money
