The "Opus XV - King Blue | Amouage" has always been something special for me, even if it can be challenging due to its animalic notes - the more I test (including high-quality Oud distillates), the more convinced I become. This is an Oud fragrance of top quality...

As an owner and fan of the original "Encens Suave (Eau de Parfum) | Matière Première," I was very curious to test the new Extrait in detail - so I participated in one of the first sharings here. Now I have been able to test both fragrances...

Oud in its softest form, without edges or roughness - underpinned by light vanilla/caramel that never comes off as too sweet. A hint of smoke adds to it - somehow dark but beautiful. Very harmoniously blended, it does not smell...

After trying this scent as a sample, then as an AF - finally also in a bottle. Every time I wear it - I find it more beautiful. It's as if "Jubilation XXV Man | Amouage" and "Ganymede (Eau de Parfum) | Marc-Antoine Barrois" had a child. Deep, woody,...

As someone who has traveled a lot - I especially enjoy when a fragrance manages to transport me to another place. This was the case with Labyrinth of Spices. Transported to the souk/bazaar in Istanbul where one treats themselves to a Turkish mocha...

I have several frankincense fragrances. Sometimes sweet, sometimes oriental, sometimes citrusy, sometimes ecclesiastical - but Istanbul's Soul brings a new variant to my collection - dust-dry frankincense. Black pepper meets frankincense...

I unexpectedly received a sample with my fragrance purchase and was pleased because I am currently on the hunt for summer scents. The cologne is for me 1:1 in the opening like salty pickled limes or lemons. Those who have traveled in Asia...

Anyone who likes frankincense/olibanum should try this immediately. The price/performance ratio is gigantic, mega raw material quality, and this super freshness combined with a deep frankincense experience makes it an absolute favorite....

PerfumeAl is standing still. Simply amazing. I first came to Floraiku because of the beautiful bottle designs - then had the opportunity to try some fragrances. The Mountain Standing Still is simply a masterpiece for me. Tea, Oud very clearly...

Rank 3 of the MDCI perfumes for me after the 2 fougeres. Very beautiful light incense mixed with herbs and spices - but everything is kept very light and wearable. I can imagine it for almost any occasion and season. The problem for me is H/S....

As an occasional fan of the Y Line, I was excited to try a darker variant - I love Oud and incense and was curious how this would integrate with the Y DNA. Now testing it on skin - in reality, it's quite different from the descriptions I've read so far....

Tobacolor is one of the better tobacco fragrances I have tested so far. Pleasant fruity pipe tobacco that really feels accessible and enjoyable. I received plenty of compliments while wearing it. Sillage is enormous - the hoodie still smells of it 3 days...
