Journal Notes:

Building on Blue Roast base I wanted this blend to embody a velvety floral elegance. To achieve that I introduced White & Red Frangipani which bring a creamy almost suede-like softness to the composition. I also increased the amount of Blue Lotus and added a touch of Pink Lotus for a delicate lift. Finally I followed that with a touch of grass!

Fun fact: Blue Lotuses are in fact lilies!

Outstanding Fragrance

A fragrance that unlocks true euphoria! Well done!!

Serene Blue

At the start, I get light “gris cola vibes” combined with a tangy blackcurrant note, almost like a spritzer. Everything blends well with a shallow aquatic note, a light freshness surrounds the composition.
From the middle, the fir balsam base becomes quite precise, it seems as if the rest is literally gliding on top of it, playing slightly ethereal green notes in the background, making the whole thing a little more relaxed and transitioning almost seamlessly into floral lotus notes with a light powdery film. Oud adds more earthy notes towards the end, bringing the composition down to earth, so to speak. Slight “barny” animalic tips are recognizable, but are rather negligible in the overall composition.
All in all, I like the fragrance. The longevity is perfectly fine. Only the sillage/projection leaves something to be desired, at least for me. Unfortunately, it quickly becomes quite skin-deep.

I would actually classify it as a bit more feminine, but I would still wear it as a grown man :D

I give it 4/5 stars, in numbers from 1-10 I would give it a good 7.

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.

Where: Everywhere

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!
