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.
