My absolute favorite fragrance!
What more can one add to the title?

Tested at Abdul Samad Al Qurashi in London on Oxford Street and purchased directly at a very fair price.

It certainly has a slight resemblance to Ambre Nuit by D., but is significantly stronger, longer-lasting, and spicier.

With around 40 fragrances in my collection, I have received more compliments for this one than for any other. An absolute masterpiece that is unmatched.

As already mentioned, the opening has a clear resemblance to A. N. Surely, grapefruit and bergamot also play a role in the top notes.

In the drydown, a wonderfully creamy oud note and musk join in - incredible - never smelled anything like it before.

The fragrance has been in my possession for 3 years - I regret not a single € or second and have yet to smell anything that comes close to this scent.

Probably my all-time favorite fragrance.

In 40 Degrees in the Desert
I tested the fragrance for the first time at Harrods in London and fell in love from the very beginning. The salesperson from SHL guided me through a journey of all the brand's fragrances, describing each one aptly and wrapped in a little story. Taklamakan stuck in my mind much more than all the others.

A fragrance named after a desert, dry - resinous - spicy and simply beautiful.

Excellent longevity, fair price/performance, great bottle and great packaging.

That day, I only tested it, but about a month later, I ordered the fragrance online and haven't regretted it for a second since.

For me, it's not just a fragrance for winter/the colder days.
Both at 0 degrees and at 30 degrees, it's a great fragrance - it works all the time!

Unique
When Black Afgano first hits the nose, you will most likely realize that you have never smelled anything like it before. As "strange" as it may smell at first, it is simultaneously creamy and resinous. The fragrance exudes such exclusivity for me, which I have rarely experienced. This is how I imagine an oil mogul from the Emirates would smell.

An absolutely top fragrance and (unfortunately) no longer a secret tip.

The longevity is great and more than sufficient. The sillage is also impressive! Absolute recommendation to buy/test.

Monstrous
An absolute H/S bomb in my opinion.

The scent has a well-perceptible oud note, but it is neither intrusive nor animalistic.

Contrary to my expectations, you even receive compliments for the fragrance.

It bears a certain resemblance to Oud-Royal by Armani. However, I must really say that the Perris has significantly more power and a much better longevity.

All of this at a truly fair price!

Great Value for Money
Definitely a blind buy at this price if you like oriental fragrances.
The scent certainly has some similarity to Interlude by A., but I find it significantly sweeter.

I can't really pick out an Oud note.

Still: For under 30€/100ml, it's a top fragrance. Oriental, sweet, dry, and with good sillage.
