  Nutmeg, honey, and sandalwood open this fragrance with an explosion of dirt and nature, but that first impression, that cloud that makes you roll your eyes, is just the entry to another reality. Close your eyes. And now, open them again. The salty breeze of the Arabian Sea crosses your senses and refreshes your nose. You are in Muscat, in the Fujaira bazaar. The smell of freshly unrolled carpets mixes with leather and spice stalls. In a corner, a man sells exotic woods, and next to him, another smokes a pipe of sea foam loaded with smoky latakia. This is Dhanal Oudh Nashwah for me in its drydown: a mix of woods (especially Agar), tobacco, sandalwood, and honey, a definitively exotic experience and a true pleasure for the senses. It’s hard to find fragrances with so many layers and complexity at a good price today. The trail is moderate, longevity is incredible, and the drydown gets more beautiful every hour. Note: 9/10.

  I love it! I can’t say anything else. I tried it on a sample from an exchange, and today I’m the happy owner of a full bottle; it’s a shame it only comes in 40ml of this magical elixir, but at least the presentation and packaging are luxurious, magnificent work from this house. The opening is sweet, woody, spicy, dirty, and balsamic, incredibly oriental and addictive, irresistible, very well balanced, neither excessively sweet nor dirty, right in that perfect point of equilibrium. Gradually, juniper opens up, adding a green, woody, and balsamic nuance, spectacular. Then, the scent fills with smoked, exotic, and warm wood, with a slight amber nuance, absolutely elegant. An exquisite scent, very well crafted, where a pillar of oud, leather, and cedar runs from start to finish, with hundreds of nuances of honey, amber, nutmeg, juniper, and fresh leaves swirling around. An elegant, exotic, and complex perfume that leaves no one indifferent. Excellent longevity, with a high trail at the start that drops to moderate; it makes an impression without saturating, unless you over-apply. Based on 4 sprays. An exotic, characterful scent for cold or temperate climates and definitely for the night.

  UPDATE: Incredible. I tried it last night, and it’s 6 PM here now; I’ve put on a different perfume, and I can still clearly smell it on my wrist. Truly extraordinary longevity.

  These are truly unique perfumes. You have to try them to see if you have a connection with them, but they surely won’t go unnoticed. This Rasasi Dhanal Oudh Nashwah is a very peculiar scent; I notice woody, bitter, and honeyed tones that give my nose a sensual, exotic, perfumed sensation, a magical journey to another place, just as Bofifa describes. You can tell there’s good craftsmanship and quality beyond the ordinary. Try to believe.

  Blind buy. One of the best, if not the best. It reminded me of the smell of leather cases for cigars. The note sheet doesn’t declare tobacco, but perhaps due to the combination of nutmeg and honey, my nose leans that way. A sweet, warm tobacco scent, very intense. I don’t perceive woody or fresh notes, but rather a sweet and spicy blend, potent yet not overwhelming (unless over-applied, which you can do with just three sprays). A couple of sprays last all day, night, and the next morning. It must be used with moderation, or else it will invade everything; it has spectacular projection. It sticks extraordinarily well to clothes (shirt collars still smelling after the wash). Although it seems more suited for night and cold weather, I used it this summer during the day: one spray is enough for a soft tobacco scent that won’t overwhelm those around you. Extraordinary value for money.

  Blind buy, blindfolded. Perhaps the least recommended blind buy I’ve ever smelled, but an experience worth it. Could this be the Kouros of Arabic perfumes? The opening is tremendous: a dirty, chaotic explosion, like burning a pack of cigarettes and a jar of honey in a bonfire all at once, concentrated. But as it dries… something beautiful, attractive, exotic, and sensual unfolds. I haven’t heard anything like it. If you’re used to the fresh, ambroxan-heavy scents that are trendy nowadays, don’t even look at the bottle; you might get hives. This is different, a rollicking and artistic creation. Sometimes I read that certain perfumes fall into the ‘niche’ category due to originality or quality. I’m not entirely clear on the requirements, but I suspect this Rasasi one could, by right. Bravo!

  The opening is dirty, like wet tobacco and an ashtray, but it’s very subtle. Gradually, it softens and becomes wonderful—the most beautiful scent in a pipe tobacco perfume with honey, vanilla, and more. I love it, except for the opening which is dirty, but it’s worth waiting out those few minutes. The bottle is small; perhaps they changed the size. It comes in a tiny 40ml bottle, just a bit larger than my thumb. Recommended.

  Thanks to fellow enthusiast darkbeat, I finally got to try Dhanal Oud Ruwah and loved it. At first, I wasn’t sure it was for me because of that intense, dirty oud opening, but during a trip to the peninsula, I decided to order it from a website that doesn’t ship to the Canary Islands—the only one I knew that carried it. Unfortunately, it was sold out. So, I opted to try another from the same line: Dhanal Oud Nashwah. Honestly, it was a great choice. The fragrance is very pleasant and much more wearable than its sibling, Ruwah. As others have noted, the opening is dirty too, but it’s a green, wet tobacco kind of dirty that isn’t annoying at all. It lacks that manure-like smell Ruwah has at the start (which, by the way, I actually miss a bit here). After a few minutes, the scent softens and the sweet notes emerge: honey, amber… The fragrance transforms into a sweet, oriental gem that’s totally wearable and unisex. To me, the aroma is a mix between the sweet tobacco of Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford and the dirty tobacco of Arabi Cana by Kolmaz; this middle ground is even addictive for me. As for performance, it’s quite good, maybe a bit lower than I expected. After reading the reviews, I thought it would be a beast, but it’s not quite that intense. The longevity is good, especially considering the price, which is superior to most designer perfumes, though it’s not one of the longest-lasting fragrances I’ve tried. The projection is fairly contained. Despite the strength of the opening, it relaxes after a few minutes and becomes a close-skin scent. Overall, I think it’s highly recommended, ideal for daily use (preferably in the late afternoon/evening) with moderate/cool temperatures, for anyone who enjoys sweet scents. Scent: 8.5, Longevity: 8, Sillage: 6, Value: 10, Uniqueness: 9, Versatility: 6, Overall: 8.

  Thanks to my friend darkbeat, I had tried Dhanal Oud Ruwah and liked it a lot. At first, I didn’t see it as something for me due to its potent, dirty oud opening, but taking advantage of a trip to the peninsula, I decided to order it from a website that doesn’t work in the Canary Islands and is the only one I know that sells it. My problem? It was out of stock, the product was sold out. So I decided to try another perfume from the same line: this Dhanal Oud Nashwah… And the truth is, it was a good decision. The perfume is very pleasant and much more wearable than its sibling Ruwah. As several commenters note, the opening is dirty too, but it’s a greenish dirt, like wet tobacco, which is not annoying at all. It doesn’t have that manure smell Ruwah has at the start (and by the way, I actually miss that a bit here). After a few minutes, the scent softens and all the sweet notes appear: the honey, the amber… And the fragrance transforms into a sweet, oriental jewel, totally wearable and unisex. Its scent is for me a mix between the sweet tobacco of Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford and the dirty tobacco of Arabi Cana by Kolmaz; and this intermediate point is addictive for me. As for performance, it’s quite good. Maybe a bit lower than I expected. Given the reviews I had read, I expected a bomb, and it’s not quite that much. Longevity is good, especially considering the price, superior to most designer perfumes, but it’s not one of the longest-lasting fragrances I’ve tried. As for projection, it’s quite restrained. Despite the strength in the opening, after a few minutes it relaxes and transforms into a close-sillage scent. In conclusion, I think it’s a highly recommended perfume, ideal for daily use (preferably towards the late afternoon/night) with moderate/cool temperatures, for anyone who likes sweet scents. Scent: 8.5, Longevity: 8, Sillage: 6, Value for money: 10, Originality: 9, Versatility: 6, Overall: 8.

  It’s not just a perfume; it’s an olfactory experience. It’s bold, shameless, and new, with a complex character that takes time to understand. At first, that oud note is dirty and animalistic, like a stable full of robust beasts smelling of leather, hay, and honey. Everything feels rough at the start but captivating. After 10 minutes, it all balances into something intoxicating, full of personality and warmth. You feel like the ingredients were meticulously crafted to create a complex accord of living woods, where honey and amber add a silky tone that makes you want to stay there. Incredible value for money, beautiful packaging, and acceptable longevity. The only downside is that the 40ml bottle seems to shrink the more you use it; that fear of losing it.

  It’s not just a fragrance, it’s an olfactory experience. A bold, daring, shameless, novel, wild, and absolute perfume. Not for everyone, with a complicated character that requires time to understand. It opens with a strong oud note, dirtier than animalic, reminiscent of a stable full of robust animals, leather coats, hay, and honey treats. Everything is rough at first, yet captivating and addictive. After 10 minutes, all the notes blend into an intoxicating balance that adds personality and warmth. It feels like every ingredient was meticulously crafted for a specific purpose, with nothing standing out, perceived as a hyper-complex accord of ancient yet living woods, where the silky, sweet tones of honey and amber recreate a place where you immediately want to stay. Wonderful quality-price ratio, stunning presentation, and more than acceptable longevity. The only downside is that the 40ml bottle seems to get shorter the more you use it. That fear of losing it…

  I really like it, but it doesn’t last on my skin.

  Perfume bomb. A messy and pungent opening that reminds me of those old-school perfumes from the 80s and 90s, which personally don’t win me over; it’s that green and fresh part that doesn’t quite kill it for me. But as the opening notes dissipate, you find a wonderful perfume, where notes of wet straw, raw leather, prunes, cinnamon, chocolatey alcohol, and barrel-aged wood soaked in some alcohol create an addictive mix. All accompanied by a slightly sweet halo of fermenting wine (like when you walk into an old cellar). Curiously, it doesn’t seem like the best smell in the world to me, though I like it quite a bit, but I find it tremendously addictive. It’s hard to explain. Far from the scents that are trendy now… It’s not a good blind buy unless you understand these compositions. A mature perfume, I don’t see it for a kid under 35, though everyone is different… Edit: Today, while buckling my daughter’s seatbelt to take her to school, she said: ‘Dad, what smells so bad?’. I was killed, haha.

  Amazing fragrance. The opening is chaotic and pungent, reminiscent of old-school 80s and 90s scents that don’t really click with me, especially that green, fresh note that never quite lands for me. But as the top notes fade, you’re left with something wonderful: wet straw, raw leather, prunes, cinnamon, spiced chocolate, and barrel-aged wood soaked in alcohol. It all carries a slightly sweet halo with a smell of fermenting wine, like an old cellar. Surprisingly, it doesn’t seem like the best scent in the world, though I really like it; I find it incredibly addictive. It’s hard to explain—far removed from current trends. Don’t buy it blindly unless you understand these compositions. It’s a mature fragrance; I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone under 35, though everyone’s different… Edit: Today, when I buckled my daughter’s seatbelt for school, she said, ‘Dad, what smells so bad?’ I died laughing.

  I agree with the previous ones. It’s a beast of a perfume where you’ll rarely find common ground with the norm. Be careful with the price tag that encourages blind buying followed by free criticism. The opening is an animal slap, nothing clean. Leaving that aside, it’s like a mix of Nelly Lacquer, barrel wood, very real oud, and leather. It’s a perfumery masterpiece that needs patience. Once you get past the initial slap—which will convince you never to use it again (a huge mistake)—it transforms into a wonderful oriental scent, very elegant. It smells like exquisite leather, that mother’s handbag she just gifted you with a pack of Moods cigarettes inside. I see it as a night scent for someone with enough maturity to know it’s a work of art. It’s not for blind buying, but if curiosity strikes, go for it. It’s something outside the norm, meant to be appreciated gradually. I promise your olfactory bulb will go crazy, just like mine.

  What a wonderful aroma and such an affordable price.

  First review here and I’m not an expert, but I’ve been hooked for a year and own over 50 perfumes, half of them niche. I bought this 10 months ago and that’s when I finally started enjoying it. On my skin, it lasts more than 10 hours, though projection drops to a personal bubble after about an hour and a half. After the first 30 minutes—which are a bit beastly—it’s wonderfully addictive; I can’t stop rubbing my wrist against my nose. It took me 10 months to get it, but at this price, it’s a must-buy. It leaves a scent of old wood, a sweet touch, green notes, and a very marked unaged leather. Don’t hesitate, just have patience and you’ll fall in love.

  I don’t like it at all and I’m not going to give it another thought. The honey note overwhelms me and drowns out everything else. I just don’t see it.

  It just doesn’t work for me, and I’m not going to force it. The honey note here overwhelms me and drowns out everything else. It’s not for me.

  Smells like fresh tobacco, oud, and honey without that burnt edge. It projects incredibly well and throws for hours. The composition is niche-level at this price point, though it’s not for everyone. I absolutely love it, but it’s a shame it only comes in 40ml; I’d wear it daily. It’s the only Rasasi I’ve tried, and it’s hooked me.
