Essentially, "Ehsas Khas | Arabian Oud / العربية للعود" is well described by the title. For me, it’s actually a bit like turning a gain dial on the Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette bottle and cranking up the whole fragrance.
The components all seem to be of slightly higher quality and are more recognizable in the overall blend than in the conventional Bottled DNA. The apple note, for example, is similarly present and perhaps even a bit piercing, crafted like in Layton.

"Ehsas Khas | Arabian Oud / العربية للعود" stands on its own as a distinct and wonderful fragrance. In summary, I would agree with the statement from user Anza: Boss Bottled in better quality and with better performance.

My starting point on the way to this fragrance was indeed the search for a Boss Bottled alternative. I still find Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette to be a beautiful DNA that also brings a bit of nostalgia for me. I also have an old opened bottle at home. The problem: As is well known, Boss Bottled performs about as well as water.

However, with "Ehsas Khas | Arabian Oud / العربية للعود", I believe two interesting options for use have now emerged:
Either you use it, as intended, as a standalone fragrance. Or, for those like me who are also looking for an old Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette nostalgia experience, there is now the option to layer the two. You are combining two very similar fragrances, of course. But what happens then is that "Ehsas Khas | Arabian Oud / العربية للعود" can also be smoothed out again if needed, providing a solid base for Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette.

For anyone longing for a reissue of the old Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette DNA or trying to revive it, this is definitely worth a try!

The scent, a victim of its own success.
A timeless DNA that everyone recognizes immediately, yet you never smell the same.

When do you wear a perfume? Is the occasion right? And how much at all?

These and similar questions arise even when selecting the right perfume for the corresponding purpose. The crux with Overture Man? The margin is very narrow.

Overture Man is a scent made for connoisseurs. It is unique, it is special, and it scratches the line between "interesting" and "just too much." To stay on the right side of this line, it is important to carefully answer the questions mentioned at the beginning. The great thing about fragrances of this kind is that the scent cannot easily be replicated by others. It also depends on the application!
Personally, I like to wear the fragrance when I'm outdoors, walking or on the go in icy cold. The alcoholic-fruity note combined with spices and smokiness rises so pleasantly on the cold winds.

The art and quality of the perfume are beyond question; the DNA is special. Now it’s just up to the wearer to use the scent appropriately. Sure, it is "hard to pull off." However, if the application succeeds, the statement is guaranteed.

The composition of the fragrance Passionfroudh, for which the name giver hopefully received a promotion for the name suggestion, can be considered on its own or in comparison to the fragrance Oud Maracujá.
Oud Maracujá is likely known to most due to a pretty decent hype. It is a really cool niche fragrance for which I have also written a review (Fragrance: 8.5). Passionfroudh shares the DNA-defining components Oud and passion fruit with Oud Maracujá. In my opinion, however, Passionfroudh performs even better.

Why?
It captures the idea of the composition equally well, but packages it in a more versatile and refined way. The niche character is still undoubtedly present, and it is, after all, a fragrance duo that should not be too prominent in order not to become intrusive.
The black tea note particularly cushions the duo much lighter and thus offers so many more possibilities for use than its significantly leatherier, heavier fragrance relative.
The scent essentially smells as if you were opening and smelling a can of high-quality passion fruit black tea. I think especially if you are not familiar with Oud Maracujá, you can expect an interesting journey through the fragrance.
For this reason, I believe it is even advisable to discover the perfume detached and without preconceived notions.

Florio Eau de Parfum is a perfume from the Sicilian brand Ortigia, which creates scents from natural ingredients that reflect the region.
In my opinion, the fragrances from this manufacturer are consistently rated too poorly on Parfumo.
All the scents from Ortigia that I have smelled share their dry, nature-inspired character - whether it is the dry wood of Sandalo Eau de Parfum or the greenish, dry fig composition of Fico d'India Eau de Parfum.
I do not know how the fragrances are ultimately crafted. However, they simply come across as authentic and reminiscent of nature.
Is the idea behind Florio Eau de Parfum groundbreaking? No.
Is the association with fresh laundry accurate? Yes. Ultimately, fresh laundry is supposed to smell floral. And that is exactly what Florio Eau de Parfum does.
But it is a special scent. This fragrance is a dry, nature-inspired interpretation that captivates with its simplicity.
Personally, I envision this scent as reminiscent of how the inhabitants of a village in earlier times would bring their fresh laundry outside and hang it to dry on flowery hills and meadows.
