AHMEDBIN SHAIKH EDP - 90 ML (Spray), Blended Unisex Oud with Intense Profile, Balsamic Floral Oud for Men and Women. by Al Maghribi Arabian Oud and Perfumes Dubai

I love this scent. It’s masculine as well as feminine. It last all day but I’d like to see Amazon carry this scent in perfume oil. Delivered immediately to me so that definitely was a plus and the packaging was so unique and fancy. Thank you to the seller as they made this girl very happy.

The media could not be loaded. Strong scents are something i have always enjoyed. There is an artform to fragrances in finding the fine balance between strong yet still socially acceptable. I think it is safe to say everyone who is into colognes or other fragrances has occasionally overdone it. Thankfully any time i have put on too much scent a friend is there to preform a friendly roast to remind me of the artform of scents.With this super bold scent from the Ahmed brand within the Bin Shakh Edp collection i have found a scent that is as high on the strength scale as i like to go. Not always am i in the mood for something as bold as this though often enough to justify a purchase.The product page suggests to be familiar with this kind of cologne before purchasing it. The disclaimer goes on to suggest trying a small amount first. I feel that warning was nice but not necessary in that this fragrance is not that extreme if you just use a small amount. The first spray found me borderline overwhelmed but soon realizing i sprayed to much because i pressed to spray nozzle two times. The second time i used one quick spray and that was perfect.The scent has a musky woody smell mixed with floral elements. I have never experience a fragrance quite like this before and i am impressed. This scent tool me a little bit to get used to with the break in time being a few hours.The packaging of this bottle is classy with it having a thick case that has impersonation leather on it mixed with a puffy outer design. The bottle itself has a beveled look that reminds me of a decanter.To conclude, i am super happy with this fragrance and recommend it to people who enjoy a bold scent.UPDATE 1.19.2022- This is a super long lasting scent. After a few days of wearing this i am updating this review to record my observation that this fragrance lasts about ten hours. This longevity makes this easily one of the longest lasting colognes i have ever used. The neat thing about this is the intensity level stays the same. Of course for the first half an hour or so its super strong then it evens out to an equilibrium intensity level for social exposure. What i do is spray this on me knowing i will not leave to go to work for about thirty minutes giving the fragrance time to level out. This fragrance if used correctly can really pack a long lasting punch.

If Oud for Greatness and BR540 had a baby, this would be it. Has an authentic oud accord, probably not for beginners. Longevity and sillage is through the roof. High oil concentration in this perfume so not safe to spray and white clothes or delicates. It's an extremely high quality perfume. As all from this brand are. Not blind buy safe. Leans masculine, but still unisex if that's ur vibe. I'm a woman and I love it. Don't over spray because it's beast mode. Use caution in warm weather because it really amps up and projects with body heat. And again, the oud note in this is prominent, and smells authentic. Western noses might not be accustomed to it. A delightful niche quality fragrance imho.

This isn't my first experience with a Middle Eastern fragrance brand. Based on the two bottles I've sampled, I've come to the conclusion that what's popular over there would be considered "old lady" perfume here in the West. This stuff is old school in every sense. The faux leather box with its embossed honeycomb pattern, rose gold lettering and red velveteen interior, the enormous cut glass flacon and the off-putting aroma are all reminiscent of something you might find in the boudoir of a 1960s Palm Beach society matron. This is ostensibly a floral/oud combo, but I can't really make out any recognizable notes. It's just loud and suffocating. One half pump was enough to create a headache inducing scent on my wrist that (honest to God) I couldn't scrub away. Even after a bath, the smell remained strong on my arm. And the fragrance itself doesn't mellow after it dries down; it's very consistent. If I liked the fragrance even a little bit, I'd say this was certainly worth the money. The bottle is huge and the scent is potent. Unfortunately, this is not my cup of tea and I can't see it appealing to many others here in the States.

Depends on your taste whether or not you will like this fragrance. It is in your face but not in a invasive or obnoxious way. For those that really like a powerful fragrance this is a good option it will last all day.

The presentation of this perfume is everything!Super stylish and luxurious. The smell is somewhat unisex but it's not for me honestly.It's ok. but I honestly thought it would smell better. May give it to my dad... see if he likes it
