Thanks for the heads up on these. I am sure they are very good. I have noticed you and Dougczar have wore these in the past month or so. Do you have a favorite out of these four Black gems?
Although, not yet listed on their website, the four new Parfums de Marly, Arabian Breed - Habdan, Hamdani, Oajan, & Kuyuhan are now available at Osswald's Parfumerie. They have limited stock of each one. Price is $275 for each. Another option for those who did not get them from First in Fragrance or Premiere Avenue abroad.

I have only worn three out of the four so far. The fourth I haven't even gotten out of the packaging yet. Of the three I've worn, Oajan has taken first seat! However that might change as I get to the fourth!

Thanks for the info - Good to see US availability options.
Hey Mike - yeah, much like the rest of the PdM line, these new 4 are top notch. I loved 3 of them. One (Hamdani) wasn't quite my cup of tea - it had a little bit of an ashtray smell to it IMO, and my wife said it smelled like pot or something. I don't think so, but I can see the comparison. Nicely made, long lasting, but probably my least favorite of the 4.
The other 3 are all really nice.
Most leather fragrances just don't do it for me, but Kuhuyan is very nice. Reminds me a little of Heeley Cuir Pleine Fleur - a very smooth leather that isn't all leather or in your face.
Habdan is a really nice fragrance too - the apple note brings to mind something like Ambré Baldessarini. Not to say they smell alike, but the apple note seems to be the same to me and reminds me of that scent, which I also like a lot.
Oajan - I remember liking that one a lot, but other than a very pronounced cinnamon note, I don't remember much off the top of my head for some reason - I will need to give it another wearing again soon.
I would highly recommend giving these all a try for sure!
Great reviews and I am very excited for you and hednic enjoying the Arabian series. It makes sense now that hednic gravitates to the Oajan the most as it has the pronounced cinnamon note. I in fact enjoy that note as well. So Oajan is a definite buy for me. Yes, please do reveal you findings after more wears.
I just noticed Fragrancenet have raised their price around $100.00 on all their PDM stock from a few days ago. Pegasus could be had for about $138.00 now its $228.00 I wonder if they are about to receive Herod and perhaps the Arabian series and this has caused the price increase?
I'd be very surprised if they were to receive the Arabian series this quickly as Osswalds just received them not too long ago and only two of each which at the time of this posting might be gone. However, you never know. What doesn't surprise me is that Fragrancenet raised their prices on the line across the board. (448)

Just like Hednic mentioned, I was not be surprised Fragrancenet raised the prices, especially the PdM scents since the quality is quite solid.
In the meantime, one can get most of the PdM scents, except the Arabian Breed series, from Universal Perfume and Cosmetics for $160 a bottle. It's an outstanding price and again I would not be surprised it the prices go up in a near future.

Capridog: Yes, Universal still has very good prices for the whole series I would think sometime next year the Arabian series will show up. I really want Oajan.
Hednic: The quality is without question and the volume of 4.2oz's with such beautiful bottles. They were a real steal at the $140.00 mark.

Rouj - I bought from Universal Perfume and Cosmetics several times and did not have any problems.
Thanks to Mr. Hednic who introduced me that website a little while ago.
My experiences with them have all been good - it's a site that's mentioned here quite a bit.
IPP, must have missed the discussion on their reliability, thank you all for your experiences with them.
I agree with Hednic, Oajan is my favorite from them. Habden smells remarkably like apple pie, and is a very nice scent as well.
Oajan will be my first foray into the Arabian series just on the notes I love.

Kuhuyan one of the new Arabian series by PDM is now being offered at Universal Perfumes and Cosmetics for $219.00 quite a savings from some of the familiar places like Osswalds. Strange it is the only one being offered out off the four so far. But hopefully in the future all will become available at this very good discount.

Yes Hednic your absolutely right I have been weighing up the $45.00 plus FIF charges shipping. I may do a bigger bulk purchase early next year to dispose of the shipping excesses that damages such good price points. Does Premier Avenue in France have a better shipping rate and do they sell Marly's?
Premiere Avenue has all four Arabian Breed Marlys. Their shipping rate
is weight based to the US with Colissimo. It's not stated on their website but shipping seems to be free when a certain price threshold is met. That has been my experience. Don't know what it is though. They also suppress VAT.

The past week I tested Habdan and Oajan more than ones, Oajan is very nice and reminds me a lot of Ambre Narguile, Habdan is very similar to Oajan in top notes but after ten minutes it goes in different direction, it's become more spicy and after 3-4 hours the dry down reminds me of Gucci Envy, I sold my bottle of Gucci Envy so I can't do any comparison, but Habdan is what I hoped Gucci Envy would be. Habdan is FBW. I'll buy a bottle God willing, so who wants my 1ml sample, I'll send it for free.![]()

They seem to be back in stock at Osswalds with the exception of Oajan.
