Journal Notes:

Step into a flower shop where the air is heavy with the scent of freshly-cut stems and a lush moist bouquet of roses. It’s green sweet floral spicy dark and unapologetically romantic. Yet its grounded in a rich Thai and Hindi oud that’s backed by the Ambergris Spectrum blend .

Alta qualità delle materie in un lavoro di magistrale creazione. Una bellissima fragranza che ti rapisce e che vorresti indossare in qualsiasi occasione

I may not be the greatest nose out there; but here is an honest review.

It starts with a depth, a heavy complexity, and beauty. The opening implies masculinity, the use of the Sichuan peppercorn was done dare I say ingeniously. It speaks personality, and demands presence. The red champaca was picturesque. And I don't dare not mention the taifi rose and carnations; MAJESTIC. Honestly, its one of the most beautiful scents I have ever laid my nose on. The ambergris and the oud, there's just so much happening in one single bottle; its hypnotizing.

Simply said, its a Bouquet ergo the name. This simply had me hungrier and hungrier for more to the talented Mahir Elkhaldi's works

Ambergris Bouquet

Ambergris Bouquet is a multi-layered scent that delivers a dynamic olfactory experience. It opens with a salty, aquatic vibe, thanks to the different types of ambergris, before transitioning into sweeter, slightly green nuances.

The ambergris acts as the perfect fixative for the floral bouquet of roses, blossoms, and berries. SQ Taifi and red champaca stand out the most, radiating elegance. As it dries down, the sweetness is toned down by spicy notes and oud, which blend seamlessly into the composition.

This fragrance offers a refreshing take on classic rose-oud blends. Salty-aquatic ambergris, luxurious roses, and earthy oud come together in a hypnotic oriental scent that’s seriously addictive.

Watermelon masterclass

When i first heard that Maher was releasing a Watermelon fragrance i thought 2 things;
(1) what a amazing idea for a Palestinian Perfumer to release something to support those who are being oppressed
(2) i was worried as perfumes that have a watermelon accord usually either smell too sweet or overly synthetic.

But as per usual i put my trust in Mahers craft and boy was i surprised. The opening is a photorealistic juicy watermelon, not just the meat of the watermelon but the skin and seeds too. It smells vibrant and refreshing and not synthetic at all. Soon after a feint dry tobacco starts to appear adding another layer to this work of art and making sure it doesn’t become to linear. The melody of Ouds most noticeably the Green, crisp, silky Malinau and the slightly sweet honeyed, melon like Hainan create a base that adds so much character and smoothness to this composition. Bateekh is not too airy or dense, not too sweet and fruity or too resinous. But it is a completely unique work of art that proves Maher keeps getting better with every blend.

A wonderful new Signature Scent.

I now own five Elkhaldi perfumes and this is going to be a favourite. It is very intense and complex and I love that about the Ouds that I have bought from this House. I’ve already worn Castore Rouge half a dozen times since I unwrapped it, and each time I’ve worn it in public spaces, I've had compliments from other people about it. I feel a $million when I wear it. Also, it projects amazingly so it carries everywhere I go. It's great.

Frequency?: Rarely / preserving it

Watermelon accord perfection

First off, I purchased the Bateekh with Malinau purely off convos with Maher. I have always loved the Malinau profile and never even thought of watermelon as a successful accord but I trust Maher’s nose entirely. On first spray I was blown away by the accuracy of this watermelon accord! Sweet but not cloying, fresh and juicy. Then the dry-down blew me away because it slowly worked its way down to the Malinau profile like a perfect match I had never imagined. Next thing you know the watermelon had morphed into beautiful Malinau woods that lasted on skin the whole day and on clothes for days!
