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!

Hainan Rose is another rose gem by Maher
Hainan Rose is much rosier than the sample I received earlier. It opens with the Chinese Oud up front providing a beautiful greenness and within 45 mins, this massive juicy rose woke up and screamed for the next 5 hours. After this it is all Oudy goodness for hours and hours. This thing is loaded with both a ton of rose and a gallon of Chinese Oud.
Maher strikes again!

Watermelon chewing gum
As a professional watermelon hater, I was very eager to try the Bateekh line. If there is someone who could make me like watermelon, it’s definitely Maher. The way he made the watermelon accord and combined it with tobacco sounded interesting to me, but also pretty strange.
Well, it arrived today, and I’m amazed. To me, this smells like the 5 Gum watermelon flavour combined with some cooling tobacco. It has this nice mentholic/cooling vibe, the one I always get when chewing those watermelon chewing gums.
Considering watermelon is the main player, the scent profile isn’t as sweet as I thought it would be, which I love. Every time I try something that is watermelon-themed, it has this over-the-top artificial sweetness, but not here, and I absolutely love that.

I've had the regular and now the "light" version
I've had the regular and now the "light" version of Civet Prestige; both are equally amazing and worth having both in the collection!

Fantastic twist on the Purple base
Fantastic twist on the very successful Purple base. Rosey, more animalic and with a stronger oud backbone. A beautiful addition to the Purple line by Master Maher! 👏🏽

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.
