Sweetness Meets Instinct in Perfect Contrast
The name says it all: Violét Animale truly has a dual nature. On one side, there’s a bold, animalic presence from civet and ouds; on the other, a sweet, tender violet that’s absolutely delightful.
It’s this contrast that makes the fragrance so unique—a constant tension between clean and dirty, softness and raw skin. The violet is never cloying, and the animalic side, though clearly present, is beautifully balanced.
That said, skin chemistry plays a big role. On some skin, the animalic facets can become more dominant, slightly pushing the floral part into the background.
A fascinating composition, full of character and never boring, perfect for those who love strong contrasts and emotionally charged perfumes.

Resinous Depth with Leather and Amber
Oud Ambrosi opens with a slightly cheesy oud, just dirty enough to be intriguing, which quickly melts into a rich heart of amber, leather, and labdanum. The effect is warm, resinous, and bold, without being overwhelming.
It’s not one of my personal favorites, but there’s no denying it’s very well-composed, with clear structure and top-quality materials. For lovers of amber-leather-oud blends, this one is definitely worth a try.

A Fresh and Hypnotic Masterpiece
There’s really no other way to say it: standing ovation.
Luxe de Papua hits deep—it’s a masterfully crafted fragrance, where every note lands perfectly, and the result is just breathtaking.
This perfume made something very clear to me: the blend of Papua oud, Malayan oud, and blackcurrant is absolutely mind-blowing. It wraps you in a fresh, almost mentholated, slightly fizzy aura that feels both elegant and natural.
I truly bow to Faizal for this creation. A fragrance that moves you, surprises you, and leaves a lasting impression.

A Wild, Animalic Forest Dream
What an oud. Deep, earthy, and just the right amount of raw. The opening hits with cumin and patchouli, instantly transporting you to a wild forest, damp and mysterious, where everything smells of roots, skin, and dark resins.
There’s a beautiful tension between the green, spicy brightness and the animalic leather base that comes later.
Faizal truly has an exceptional touch when it comes to crafting perfumes—each note is placed with care, and nothing feels out of place. And let’s not forget… the color of the juice! Rich, deep, and as expressive as the scent itself.
And for a fragrance made with natural raw materials, the longevity and projection are impressive.
Double wow.

Love at Second Breath
With Kinam Elixir, it wasn’t love at first sniff. But after revisiting it a few times, something truly clicked.
The blend of ambergris and kinam oud is absolutely stunning—elegant, complex, and with a rare, three-dimensional richness. The spices—from pink pepper and cinnamon to clove and saffron—melt beautifully into the heart, creating a warm, almost hypnotic aura.
It transported me to an oriental textile workshop, filled with the scent of fine fibers, rare woods, and spiced air gently clinging to fabric and skin.
But what truly stands out here is the incredible quality of the raw materials.
A fragrance that needs to be understood, listened to, and then loved. And it’s absolutely worth the time.
