If Arabian Oud is reading this, please don't do this and make yourself equal to your western competitors. Excellent and beast mode fragrance even during hot and humid weather in South East Asia, easily lasting 8 hours.

I get an absolutely stunning opening blast of Frankincense paired with woodiness that I assume comes from the oud/agarwood and maybe some cedar. And for about 3 and a half weeks ( I kept the shirt hanging just to see how much it would take till the scent dies down) I was clearly able to smell the sweet gourmand smell from it, i am not kidding!

I will likely but this eventually, but for now, I appreciate Abdul Samad Al Qurashi’s offerings more (mainly Safari Extreme and Qurashi Blend). The note that you find metallic is arid to me, and it may be that it fits in somehow with our cold, dry high-desert Spices, Berries, Patchouli, Rose, Saffron, Guaiac Wood, Incense-y tonalities, something almost oud-y, Vanilla, Amber, and Musk. There is also a spiced-sweetness vibe happening in the background which was intriguing, and intoxicating, although I did not love it at first because there was something a bit unfamiliar about it.

Open with strong Oud and something musky smoky, this reminded me of “Sacred by Louis Cardin”, but Kalemat Black is the way better and smoother.

Longevity is best in class (24+ hrs) as expected from Arabian Oud house and projection/sillage are outstanding.This can be worn in all seasons except in very humid conditions (IMO) depending on the number of sprays. To start off, the presentation of this fragrance is very classy, it really stands out in my collection.
