  Here’s the OUD AL AMIR roll-on from AL FARANSI, brought to you by Darkbeat’s Palace of the Thousand and One Nights. The product sheet promises Cambodian Oud, and as a notary, I confirm: it smells genuinely natural. Is it synthetic due to the price? Maybe, but the labs emulate it so well that you can’t tell the difference. This shatters the fallacy of Western houses that use IFRA ban excuses or astronomical prices as alibis. All Eastern houses (Rasasi, Al Haramain, Ajmal, Armaf, Swiss Arabian, Lattafa, Al Faransi, Al Zaafaran, Al Rehab…) prove that powerful trails and long-lasting performance are possible with laughably low prices and quality that matches or surpasses niche scents costing 100-200 euros. My fear is that these brands will fall prey to the greed and scalper scams plaguing famous perfumes today. If you want to know what authentic oud truly smells like, buy this OUD AL AMIR from English websites. What do the English have that allows them access to these wonders while the rest of Europe is blocked? Aren’t we sisters with the Arab world? Didn’t Josesan grow up and live in the Cordoba of a thousand years ago, and now can’t she buy directly from her uncle Syd Al Harik’s perfumery the scents her family has used since Sumerian times? OUD AL AMIR isn’t for everyone. You need to know Arab oud and be prepared for people to tell you you smell ‘weird’. There are almost no notes to soften this animalic oud, which is close to the smell of a sheep pen or a cured Manchego cheese made from sheep’s milk. Nothing smells synthetic or plastic, which amazes me. Just a few light brushstrokes of rose and sandalwood that don’t diminish the power, very similar to other Rasasi scents I’ve tried. These are perfumes I wouldn’t even wear every day myself due to the saturation and sheer olfactory magnitude they concentrate.
