IIIZIII

It's a wonderful combination of Suede and Cantaloupe. Very unique indeed, and I really appreciate this understated style.

Seeing the old reviews I feel that aging made wonders to this gem.

I can absolutely confirm the Malayzian oud here. It steals the show 100% from start to finish.

The Sri Lankan oud gives a very natural feel from top to the heart. The mild chocolate character purely coming from the complex ouds.

For me it beats the 2nd version by miles, because of the more natural feel, and the cinnamon-like drydown. Now I see how it build that rep.

It's very different from every other Areejes and its flankers. A very understated floral/rose. Subdued, yet intense and long lasting

It is an exceptional, complex, dry and balanced take on wood, where the oud and the sandalwood are balanced to perfection.

It pretty much covers two categories for me. Best floral oud and rose/oud.

Of course it's not a natural artizan one, but for me it's absolutely unique and I love that ink note in it. Creed's most unique one imho

Probably the best non-gourmand chocolat-oud fragrance, in the artisan realm.
