First time to the prehistory.
I had registered a few months ago on Parfumo.de and was immediately "infected" and at some point I discovered after already so some tests an offer to a filling of a very unusual but very pretty made flacon, because the fragrance pyramid also looked very appealing I contacted the provider and in the course of negotiations had then screwed up the order to loose 40 samples. Here also again many thanks to the dear Parfumo for the top offer (because I do not know whether I may call your name here now I will not write anything further)
I had decided to test the fragrances just randomly, not to be influenced by anything I just grabbed the box and without looking just sprayed every day about 2 to 3 times. Of course I looked up later what it had been about. After about a week, a bottle fell into my hands: "O.K. once again rose and oud" I thought to myself. After a while this fragrance stood out more and more and I liked it better and better, now I had to look at what it was about and it was the Resala, I had to grin a little bit, it had been the trigger for the box full of bottlings. I had then also quickly decided that a whole bottle of it may move in with me. The catch was that this fragrance is not so easy to get in Germany and if then relatively expensive. Until last week. I write by PN with a dear and in the meantime friendly Parfumo even if we know us so far only in writing and he told me that he makes straight in Turkey vacation and in Istanbul times with Nishane pure-look wants and whether he should bring me also something. But then Nishane had somehow fallen into the water and he told me about a perfumery called Arabian Oud with a great display in the window. I replied that the name seemed very familiar and that they must have quite good fragrances. I pondered some more why the name stuck in my mind so positively and after about 15min it clicked:
"Resala! These are the manufacturers of Resala!"
i shouted loudly through the office. You should have seen the stupid and questioning faces of my colleagues ? "See if they have the Resala at a good price and if so please, please bring me one" I wrote. Then my mobile phone had problems and I couldn't get on the internet until Sunday. When I then go on Sunday here on the side I read meaningfully: " Hey Simi! What a great store I could organize there what report you please times."
Totally excited I wrote back and a short time later it was clear that I would soon get a bottle of Resala at a super price.
As of today, I am the happy owner of a full and beautiful bottle that comes in one of the most beautiful presentations I have seen so far in perfumes.
Thank you so much! Dear Sahin, that you have made this possible for me.
So now but finally to the fragrance itself:

The Resala has a super pleasant and wearable oud from start to finish.
In the opening, the saffron and a fruity rose comes through clearly, after about 1h the saffron slowly says goodbye and to the rose joins a very discreet vanilla just enough to give the rose something gourmandiges, which then lasts so 5-6h while very slowly from behind more and more the chocolate creeps up to then for an eternity with the rose and the oud to create a heavenly melange.
A similarity has remotely still the Ombre Nomade of Luis Vuitton.
In particular, the durability and sillage are very similar to both whereby the Resala me still clearly finer and more rounded seems what could be due to the chocolate.
The fragrance is unisex but the wearing person should be clear that it will attract attention. Even in the office, you should rather choose something else.
I see the fragrance when going out and at party's. Seasonally, you can wear it throughout the year, however, he is me at over 25 ° C then but a little too oppressive because I reach then rather to what fresh.
Resala has clearly the stuff of the holy grail of me to be?

December 1993 Tunisia.
A newly married couple on their honeymoon get ready for the disco.
He grabs a sample he got when he bought her a
Gift.
"Hmm! Smells like a good shaving soap!" he thinks to himself and spreads
four drops on his neck and wrists.
After the soap withdraws a bit he recognizes a scent that looks very familiar to him namely the smell of his favorite
Drinks Gin and Tonic with a slice of lemon here but embedded in lavender. A little later join still cedar and sandalwood in addition
and make this fragrance a unique warming embrace.
This embrace remains throughout the evening and even when he wakes up the next morning, the scent has only slightly weakened, he would have had to evaluate this perfume at that time, he would probably have given a 9.5 in all points.
After they are back home he immediately makes his way to the perfumery to get a bottle of it, but when the saleswoman tells him the price it is like a slap in the face and he leaves the perfumery saddened with a bottle of Joop Homme, his signature at the time.
Two years later.
He stands in his former teenage bedroom and unpacks his few
Belongings, she apparently felt there were better men for her and broke up with him.He finds the sample tube and looks at the clock. "The perfumery is still open for half an hour and the few marks more in debt don't matter now" he thinks to himself
Since he is henceforth very economical with this for him so valuable perfume,
at the beginning only for himself now and then a splash on the wrist to be comforted and warmed by him and later then only on very special occasions two splashes on the neck, this flacon lasts a full 20 years with him.
Present.
When he holds his nose at a friend a flacon Joop Homme
and thinking about great events in the past,
he remembers his warming, fragrant friend.
In the evening he sits down at his laptop to look for him and finds him also quite fast at a clearly more favorable price than he would have expected. When finally almost two weeks later (great performance DPD) the package is in front of the door as he comes from work he can hardly wait, he opens the package and finds a new quite appealing Flacon before. "Chic! is good for you"
he thinks to himself and jumps under the shower.
Afterwards he spreads 4 spritzes on his neck and wrists like the very first time.
"I don't remember you being that soapy"
he thinks to himself. The soap goes back significantly slower and releases only hesitantly the other fragrance notes but after 30 minutes he is almost back, only the wood note and thus the warming embrace remains almost absent, it is rather just a friendly handshake.
After he has tested the fragrance for a few days, among other things, at work, where he does not fit times at all but also already got 2 compliments, the initial disappointment has
somewhat settled and he sits down again in front of the laptop opens Parfumo.de and gives for the fragrance 8, durability and sillage 8,5
and the bottle with the well-dispensable spray head 9 points.
While he starts to write a review he decides, while he is sure that this fragrance can never again warmly embrace him, that they nevertheless remain friends, especially since the fragrance now also fits much better to his age with his now 47 years in addition, the fragrance is still unique.
I hope my first review has pleased you, if not, then I am always open to constructive criticism.
