An improved airy jasmine
Ajmal's Sacrifice is to me an improved version of Mugler's Alien for those who find the jasmine in Alien to be too indolic, heavy and headache inducing. Nothing in this fragrance is heavy- the water note keeps the jasmine light, despite its depth and richness.
The dry down is one of jasmine, vanilla and musk. On skin longevity is up to 4-5 hours but on thick winter clothing it clings for days. Projection is strong within the first two hours and then steadily softens into a skin scent.
Although this is an ultra feminine fragrance, it may not be suitable for enclosed spaces. It is very bold, floral, and forward.

Dirty that is clean
Do you know that patchouli that is dark, yet light? Dirty, yet clean? That patchouli is the king in Gardenia. In order of prominence, the notes I smell are: leather, patchouli, saffron, oud, oakmoss and florals.
This perfume is quite difficult to comprehend, it is definitely not for anyone who does not appreciate oud. But make no mistake to blind buy it even if you enjoy oud, as this is not a sweet oud. It's not faecal either. But it is strong, and present. No, this fragrance is more about a unisex combination of a strong leather, dry patchouli, clinical saffron and green oakmoss, than it is about the oud.
All I can say is that it is very niche! I blind bought it and whilst I don't regret it for a minute, I can't advise anyone to do the same. If you're into sweet and floral fragrances, please test this before you buy it.

Cleanliness, calmness, loveliness and collectedness
Musk silk supreme EDP is not the perfume version of the perfume oil, it has a completely different personality.
Here, three notes are expressed in unisex perfection- a green, yet floral muguet top note, a slightly powdery and woody musk heart note (not white musk, yet not animalic musk either) and a slightly earthy amber.
Nothing about this fragrance is heavy. It won't project far and wide, it won't perform loudly, neither will it cling to your clothing for the entire work day. But it will waft about you, so that you enjoy it for hours to come, if you're the sort of person who enjoys lighter scents.

A chameleon in all seasons
Depending on when you test/ wear Shuhrah, your experience of this fragrance may vary.
Testing in warm weather: On my skin, Shuhrah was an aromatic white floral with an imprint of Oud, a touch of ambergris and moderately earthy but present, patchouli. There was a sweet, sugary introduction to the citrus opening and lily of the valley dominated mid, but once oud and patchouli made their introductions, that all faded away. Although Shuhrah was not a light fragrance, she could not be accused of being heavy or too intense. On clothing, citrus, sage, muguet and oud notes were more pronounced.
Testing in cool weather: On skin and clothing, the sweet citrus opening of Shuhrah stretched into the white floral and sage mid. On paper, it becomes obvious that the oud in Shuhrah is the banyard time, however, on skin the oud note was all but a wispy shadow. In cool weather, Shuhrah became a sweet and sour, white floral, if that explains anything.
I've tested and bought quite a lot of Rasasis, and this is the most interesting, independent fragrance I've smelt from them. Shuhrah reminds me of nothing, she's a masterpiece, but not a safe blind buy.

Scent
Floral, musky and unisex
Signature opens up with bergamot, peach, and a masculine musk (not a white musk). The musk is the dominant note from the opening to the end of the dry down. As the scent develops, it transforms into a more unisex still musk heavy fragrance that is further softened by fruity (dried fruits), floral and powdery notes. If you are a man who enjoys slightly sweet and slightly floral musk fragrances, I think you'll find this to be right up your alley.
This to me is a unisex perfume because Al Haramain have used the same musk that they use in their masculine fragrances- a musk that cuts through all notes, is clean, woody, and sharp, and dries down unisex.
After an hour of wear, it becomes quite beautiful as all the floral notes come into being and the musk becomes rather woody in its expression. Lovely, but not what I was expecting.
