Dieser Duft wurde als frischer, klarer Oud-Duft konzipiert, der sich leicht täglich und zu jeder Tageszeit tragen lässt. Die Säure grüner Äpfel wird durch cremigen Ylang-Ylang und süße Schwarzkümmelblüten gemildert, die auf einer Basis aus Eichenmoos und vorwiegend Borneo-Oud ruhen.

Probably one my favorites in my collection! I absolutely love the Nigella, Apple, and Ouds that are in this. Wish I could get a second bottle one day.

As an avid oud lover, I dare say it is to me what gold is. Beautiful, deep, complex; it can be both subtle, yet to some overbearing at times. In all sincerely it is not something one would be able to wear on a daily.

Yet, Mahir found a way to make a blend that transcends that one very hard point of oud. Found a way to make it one that is seamless, mesmerizing, and gentle.

The opening notes speak freshness with the tartness and sweetness of the green apple, the ylang ylang, blue hemlock and ofcourse the glorious presence of the oud. As it dries down it turns darker and greener as the oakmoss' presence makes its way through. And the Nigella is there to soften it all.

Crisp, mysterious, foreboding, and most importantly elegant and beautiful.

Simply said, Brother Mahir has a certain finesse that I probably will never find elsewhere.

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.
