Well, that's what happens when you can't think of a better headline.
Never mind
Oops what comes in from outside shot through my head as the UPS driver rang my doorbell and handed me my package
There it was, direct from the emirates of Al Haramain Perfumes
Quickly unpacked, all the advertising flyers to the side and the foil removed
The flacon is identical to the Leather Lux, only in brown, so all is well.

The first sprayer immediately reveals a good portion of patchouli, not this deep earthy, slightly musty chocolate but rather sweet, noble, almost a little green
Whether this is due to the oud I don't like my nose to answer.
This basic construction remains in place for a long time until a soft oriental leather replaces the green.
I can't smell the sandalwood and the musk mentioned here, but it could also be that I've only been wearing it for 3 hours
The performance is at the beginning already very strong dims then, however, something down, however, always makes itself noticeable.
On the subject of performance, I will possibly write an update.

The Kadlaj brand was completely unknown to me until now and you won't find much about it on the Internet either.
I don't know what drove me to buy a Blindbuy.
I also donŽt want to deepen that, because everyone here probably knows this phenomenon.
So...

After opening the relatively unspectacular packaging, you have a very valuable bottle in your hands.
The cap, is held with a magnet, off and the first sprayer on the wrist.
The first thing that blows towards me is the nutmeg which is accompanied by slightly citric speckles from the background.
The citric seems to me like an overripe grapefruit or lemon, but this can also be due to the bergamot in combination with the now flaming Oriental spices.
The nutmeg always remains present, only the companions at his side change and one feels drawn into the dark side streets, away from the big bazaars.
Here you can meet creatures of the night that you would never have seen before that make the scent darker and deeper.
Patchouli, sandalwood and a dosed dose of cinnamon emerge behind the dark corner and accompany the nutmeg on its way through the heart note down to the base.
Then a fine dark leather is added and combines with the patchouli and nutmeg to form a unit that draws you even deeper into the dark soul of Arabic.

The performance of this night plant is rather atypical for a thoroughbred Arabian.
Its durability is what you'd expect and within a radius of an arm's length it shows its presence without killing you.
I have tested at a temperature of about 20 degrees, but I think he feels more comfortable at autumn temperatures.

Since this seems to be a rarity, I bought two flacons directly, because there doesn't seem to be any more.

Hm, statement or comment!???
For a statement too much for a comment.....,let's see.

So...
In the Internet the Milton Lloyd was praised to me as a fragrance twin to my, beloved, Jacques Bogart
Since the One Man Show has also been neutered in the last years in terms of performance, I couldn't help but make a blind purchase.
At the price, about 12 Euro, I could have got over a disaster.
Yesterday he arrived after a very short delivery time from England.
Of course it was tested immediately.
The spray jet is good and fine, may be related to the use of propellant gas here.
Yes, the fragrance comes very close to the One man show, but I think it starts with the heart note.
For me Milton Lloyd is a link between the signature of Bogart and the One Man Show.
The Sillage is not quite as spacious as the good old Vintage Bogart, but the durability gets full points.

As a conclusion I can only say that here is a cheap alternative to the Bogart in my hands.
