Swiss Arabian Kashkha - Luxury Products From Dubai - Long Lasting And Addictive Personal Perfume Oil Fragrance - A Seductive Signature Aroma - 0.6 Oz

I love it! Smells great! I find it captivating. A little bit goes a long way. I use it to layer with lotion and my daytime fragrance. Did I mention that I love it? It lasts all day for me. It is small but it is potent. It is beautifully packaged. The container is high quality.

I was looking for something with a nice orange blossom note, and this had popped up in reviews. Since I prefer oils anyway and like mukhallats, this seemed ideal -- and the price is great. I was a little startled when I unscrewed the cap: the first thing that hit me -- and it hit hard -- was oud. If you're not familiar, it's that woody, almost acrid, and very strong note -- it's a common basenote in a lot of mukhallats. It's not listed, but it's there and it makes its presence known. Oud is nice, but it's so very pervasive, and I really didn't want something that was going to be All About Oud, or so oud-y that it was just going to clobber the other notes into submission. But underneath was a fruity-candy-floral, which I hoped was robust enough to emerge from that initial oud onslaught. It did, fortunately, and quite quickly. It stays a bright, fruity honeyed scent, with a light floral overlayer, and the oud and musk keep it from being too sweet. It's a remarkably well-balanced and complex mukhallat: nothing is overwhelming. It wears very well, but closer to the skin than I expected -- not a lot of sillage (although I was wary of putting on too much, so may have underapplied. With oils, especially ones with oud, a little may go a long way.) It's not so orange-blossom as some reviews suggested (I'll find that one perfect orange blossom scent eventually), but it's a gorgeous scent.

If you know and like Oud, then you know that it can be quite different from conventional perfumes, and not just because it's an oil. The scent may vary depending on where the wood comes from, how it is distilled, how it is mixed and what it might be combined with. This can lead to some very expensive products. I love and appreciate oud, but I don't have the budget to pay five hundred or even a thousand dollars or more for oud. Oud also has a different scent than any perfume. It can have different notes, from earthy, fruity, smoky, floral, woody, herbal, and the list goes on. What it smells like when you put it on is not what it will smell like a few hours later. As a result of this, if you are expecting a conventional experience, you might be disappointed. But if you love fragrance and want a new experience, this is the product for you. This particular product comes in a lovely crystal bottle, packaged nicely in a gift box. I bought it for myself, but it would make a nice gift for anyone. Some people might categorize this as a men's scent, but if you know and appreciate oud, you will find that it is equally appropriate for a lady. I am a woman and I like this kind of scent. I prefer this over a flowery perfume. For me, this is a rather classic oud. On application, the main scent is oud or agarwood, with a touch of camphor and frankincense. It reminds me somewhat of the smells of autumn: a bit smoky, with a tiny hint of drying grasses and burning leaves in the autumn air. All of these things, in the very best way. Put it on, close your eyes and take a deep whiff. You will sense all these things and more, with the overtone of agarwood as the main fragrance, putting you in mind of exotic lands. It's an initially invigorating scent which dries down in a few hours to an opulent oud scent which will make people notice you without realizing exactly what's different and alluring about you. Everyone is different, and so are their tastes, their body chemistry, and what fragrances they find pleasing. This is the one that gets it for me, and after sampling this one, I am looking forward to trying other scents from this company, and even wondering how the different oudhs might combine together. I bought myself a gift and I'm very pleased with it! Thanks!

Smells alot like marigolds not a bad thing but strong marigold smell still very unique and bet will keep mosquitoes away

Intrigued by other reviewers' assertions that this was a nice orange blossom scent, I hit the purchase button and eagerly awaited its arrival. I was so pleased to see it on my doorstep...opened the package, uncapped the bottle and took a sniff. Interesting. Pleasant enough at first but absolutely no hint of orange blossom. I dabbed some on the backs of my hands, just a few drops, thinking it might morph into the sought-after orange blossom aroma I was promised. That didn't happen, and the longer I kept it on, the more cloying, stinky-sweet and pervasively awful it became. I suffered through two hours of an appalling odor that I am at a loss to properly describe. Even after thoroughly washing my hands I could still smell it faintly. It's not just that it is cloying and overly sweet. There's something in it that truly stinks, like a public bathroom that was sprayed with chemical air freshener in a failed attempt to disguise the stench of uncleanliness. I think it may be that my skin's chemistry is not well suited to these Arab perfumes. I have tried several others from the Al-Rehab line and they didn't work for me either. These probably smell much better on darker complected people; I am about as Caucasian as they come - fair skin, blonde hair, light eyes. Sigh. I gave this one to a Peruvian friend and she seemed to like it, so I hope it works out for her.

I love this scent. Doesn’t last very long but overall good for the price !!

Suave, no dura nada, hay attares mucho mas baratos por ej marcas como Ajmal, mas logrados y de mejor calidad

Not overpowering and doesn't last more than 2 hours.

Excelente aroma y fijación

Superb. Firstly the presentation is impeccable. The outer box is very nice and well made. The crystal glass bottle is wonderful and worth more than the total price on its own. This oil is very, very thick. It has the consistency of thick honey and it will be a shock if you're not used to attars. You only need a small dab...too much and it feels sticky, especially if you are a bit hairy! The smell? Lovely woody oud fragrance, no skank or fecal tones at all. Very many synthetic (and real!) ouds have a strong smell of farmyard until they tone down. Not so with this one. Just gorgeous soft oud, lots of damp wood with a hint of leather. After an hour I can't smell it on me, though my GF immediately commented on it as soon as she opened the door at her house a couple of hours later. I can't believe that Swiss Arabian have created this for £30...it's an absolute bargain. I have bought ouds for hundreds of pounds and this can hold its own with them.
