I'm wearing Pure Wood today and it has no A*Men DNA on me... NOT AT ALL! The scent started off with a burst of wet soaked wood...That's for the first 10-15mins only. And toned down into a deeper (dry)woody scent with hints of Coffee and vanilla and into a mixture of woods and amber. This is not a sweet scent... unlike traditional A*Men. They gave it a well deserved name! The projection is this beauty is moderate (5/10) with a above average longevity (6/10), lasted for more than 7 hrs on me and is now starting to fade.

However, im a little disappointed with the flacon. The advertised flacon looks much more attractive than the real one. Is it worth the buy? Oh, yes... just because it's really unique in it's own way.

in terms of price almost the same, around 150 gbp for both, but NdN opened already, opus v is new one. both in 100 ml

SOTD - One shot of Declaration d'un soir on each chest and 2 on the back of my neck layered with one shot of Lumiere Noire on lower neck between the two collarbone...

lol rose gallore.. i prefer fresh spicy rose for work and rose oud for special stuff

Good morrow.

Continue exploring layering scents. 3 shots of adp colonia sweeten n moist with 2 shots of MFK lumiere noire...

Citrus & Rose..

It is sad for me to break the bad news to you guys that I have been informed by fragX that the Habanita EdT has gone out of stock again. What a bummer! They explained to me that when it became available (limited stock), many orders were placed and unfortunately, I'm not the lucky one. What a system they have! Anyway, they have already refunded my money.

SOTN - By Kilian Amber Oud



Finally i am going to review the arabian night series of kilian starting with the lightest of them - Amber oud

if u like ambre sultan and at the same time dislike the coarseness of the scent u will love this

if u like oud wood like of oud fragrance, u will also love this

if u are looking for something animalic, barnyard, u wont find it in here

Wat i get from the opening is bay and benzoin. The oud in here are close to minimal and very soft n creamy. One thing for sure is that kilian do not make oud the center stage of all his arabian nights creation other than using the name and gold platted bottle to charge higher price.

Doesnt project much n linear... but it is smooth.. treat it as a very high grade of Ambre Sultan then u are ok with it.

Rose Oud, i can just rave on n on how wonderful this blend with my eyes close and if i can tell u which is rose oud if u give me blind sniff a bunch of rose oud frags lol... other time for this one

I kinda still enjoy CK One a lot!

Thanks bro Edward for helping me get and lug these from your HK trip.... Im enjoying this house...
