Was the bottle neck sealed with Teflon tape of sort? or did the leak occur directly out of the nozzle? Yea that's a $500 evaporated, sorry you have to experience this.

That leak is quite severe, I'm sure Taha would take care of it for you. That box must smell amazing!
Hope mine would have a safe transit without any issues.
Santal Galore: Wearing this the second time, 2 sprays on the chest and 1 spray on my inner elbows, sat on my lazyboy couch, closed my eyes and let it all soaked in, I fell alseep but 30min when i...
25 sprays of Dior Sauvage EDP or Paco Rabanne 1 Million, to ensure you're able to clear whichever section or area you're in at the Museum.
I don't remember which one it was....I get some reaction on my arms, had some redness, raised goose bumps and itch for awhile, basically i just scratch for a bit and ignore it, and proceed to spray...
Anybody doing split on this new Homer simpson perfume? :laugh: 9ml would be nice.
I'm not the only one, fragrantica has quite a few people who shared the same experience, performance is good on clothing but on my skins it died to a skin scent much quicker than i like, which is a...
A bit skeptical by all the fancy literature and description, the EO1 PP sounds amazing with a good story behind it, backed by a lot of fans who loved it, but it simply didn't impress me the same way...
Ghaliya Reflection projection is slightly worst than Bortnikoff's Maximus/Mysterious Oud, but smells great and it's a small trade-off.
To offset the performance issues I'd just double spray on...
Taha explained on his recent video the reason behind the small-batch, he wished he could triple or quadruple the production but the reality is that the ingredients he used are rare and hard to come...
For real, the entire process is so easy and straight forward, no gimmicky or fancy advertisement, no cliff-hanger type anticipation for weeks and all that jazz....from placing order to getting...
Yes I believe he sprayed it directly into his nasal cavity to achieve the beast mode status, it gave him the high, mind-numbing, and a buzz or whatever that he kept talking about, and the rating...
Mine have been shipped and got a tracking via DHL from Malaysia KL, hopefully i'll get them by Saturday.....can't wait!
I didn't get any email notification from paypal, i went to check just now...lo and behold there's an invoice from Agar Aura waiting in there. Those of you hasn't gotten any email notification I'd...
Must Lave is pretty good on me, it has a mild but warm and divine animalic notes that I really enjoyed. Sure i would love to have something 5x more animalic than this but nevertheless it's still a...
Not yet, he said is going to be within 12hr so i would assume gonna be soon.
I try not to think about it, this rabbit hole seems to be quite deep.... lol
Are they for real? :huh:
Looks like I got lucky on the lottery, are they really all sold out now for real???
Same here brother! After second wearings my opinion hasn't change, the only one worth getting is the Agar de noir, the gourmand Oud is very good on this one. Musk Lave in close second too as I...
Anybody else enter the lottery at 11:00EST to obtain all three extraits? :laugh:
I sure wish they would time the release a bit better and check on their competitor's release date to ensure potential buyers don't get hit by three houses worth of new stuff within 30 days. First...
Not sure about the Roja Amber Aoud but I can see the same airiness as Roja Aoud, with similar strength in the rose implementation.
Are you sure the "smoothness, polished, and refinement" wasn't just a different perception of "weak, water down, and subtleness"? lol :laugh:
I've just received the 100ml of Gujarat, OMG this stuff smells great...one spray on my wrist and immediately got hit by a heavy dose of fresh and sharp bergamot, curry leaf, roses, and spices. This...
Absolutely NO.... there are so many new releases out now it's no point for me personally to go back to those old/retired releases, at this point in time I won't even pay the original retail price for...
Still unsure if me and FragSyndrome got a bad batch of the Oudh Infini or what, but the bottle i received was no good....it just smelled so water-down and uninteresting! lol
I have not come...
Are you smelling some Granpa's old diaper from KN? :laugh:
Kidding aside, the listed notes didn't impress me, that's the reason why I skipped it altogether and went for the Ghaliya Reflections.
...
How's the Kashmir Nuit in direct comparison to the Ghaliya Reflection? do they smell similar enough to be redundant? just reading the notes alone I would imagine the GR being more animalic than KN,...
You know how certain fragrances have the ability to blow you away right out of the gate and hit all the right spots from the get-go? Ghaliyah Reflection is one of them, I love this one! ;-)...
Gardenia is a citrus bomb in the opening on me, bergamot was the only thing I could smell for the first 15min, it's so heavy it drowns out everything else, but it's also very volatile and will take a...
I'm surprised you're not getting much citruses from Gardenia, on my skins the bergamot is very heavy and prominent that overpowered everything else in the first 15min or so, before it settled down...
Most masculine would go to Musk Lave and Agar de Noir IMO.
I got zero smoke or incense with Cuir de Russie on my skins. Actually none from this collection are smokey or incensy on me.
So far, this is how I'd rate my 6th collection from most like to least:
1)Agar de Noir
2)Musk Lave and Gardenia is a tie
3)Cuir de Russie
4)Santal Galore
Most Animalic from the collection:...
oops, double post
Try one spray on your arm, on me it is a powder bomb, there isn't much smoke or anything like that to be found on my skins.
It is very tame to my nose but could very well be too much for some other people, the overall composition of Ghaliyah Reflection is very balanced and a great work of art, looks like Dixie had in mind...
Mine just came in:
Ghaliyah Reflection is absolutely beautiful and didn't disappoint, you got hit with a heavy dose of delicious Oud in the opening, only a slight hint of barnyard in the first...
I guess time will tell.
Musk Lave: The bergamot in the opening is making me salivate, not the fresh type of bergamot you get from the typical summer fragrances, it's much heavier and denser, like a riped bergamot. For...
It's a very persistent scent memory that could come out of nowhere when you least expected it, long after you thought it's gone, it also can be triggered when you smelled something similar or close...
Late to the game so no, was told the Russian Oud smell similar to AdN? I guess I could imagine it, over 1hr in....the dry down of AdN is getting quite sweet, like caffč mocha sprinkled with ground...
I've only tested three from this new collection so far, trying to take it slow so i don't overload my olfactory, as of now, i like Cuir De Russie best, it's a beautiful and well-balanced scent to my...
see...i knew i shouldn't have mentioned it...lol :lipsrsealed: :laugh:
Oh man i really do hope it get sold out quickly, this abomination of a concoction need to disappear from the face of the earth quickly, it's a crime to smell the opening of this one i tell you! the...
W&P2 is like energizer bunny, it just keep going and going and going....as you said, it is quite nuclear!
I sure hope so bro! I'm still trying to wrap my head around AdN....
Trust me, it ain't, that's a very generous association ;-) i was going to say the SG on my skins it projected a vivid image of Grandma's old panties (not that i know what it smells like but that's...
Cool, agreed with his dry down impression mirror mine, with the same performance I got from SG....this is pretty much a low projection skin scent. He had to spray it on his collarbone and above chest...
Agar De Noir: Right off the bat, this hit me with a big dose of soy sauce shizzo! reminiscent of the same type of saltiness as EO Naga Layyen Oud oil, very slight hint of barnyard but it is...
Cuir De Russie: Not messing around with this one and sprayed it on my arms, immediately reminded me of W&P2 (the only ALD i've owned from previous collection), but much more balanced, slightly...
The opening was quite a turn off to me, but much more tolerable after an hour, it dries down to a sweet and creamy musk and tonka, whatever is in this stuff it seems to linger on and on in the back...
On a positive note, my wife said it smell decent and inoffensive, not as off-putting as any other Oud fragrances I've been wearing lately. lol
Received my full collection today, went straight for the Santal Galore. On my skins, the main notes that jumped out to me are the Oakmoss and Cloves, along with a hint of floral in the background. ...
I still think the EDP got a more interesting scent profile, the truffle is what made the OG so damn good, that dark and mysterious earthiness is missing from the new parfum.
Are you sure these guys are smelling ALD sixth collection? almost sounds like they are reviewing some cheap bathroom spray they found from Walmart's $1.00 bin. LOL
I doubt it stains as bad as the Sayat Nova Attar, every single time that stuff left a huge yellow patch on my arms all day. lol
Civet and Castoreum do not smell like shit, put the crack pipe down son! or whatever drugs you've been sniffing. :thumbsup:
Mine is scheduled for Saturday delivery but I'm hoping it would be EOB on Friday instead, seeing that I'm only 5hr drive away from Stratford, CT.
sounds heavenly bro! From what I've read even the absolute/tincture are quite potent, some recommended to start with 2% and go up slowly from there...for me I have a feeling I would need like 20%...
paste isn't going to be easy to apply, i imagine you just smear that stuff to your neck like Vick's vapor rub? ;-p There's some diluted civet absolute/tincture that I could also apply with a...
Sounds like a winner to me even though it may not have been as animalic as I was hoping for, I could always buy some straight-up raw Civet and Castoreum absolute/tincture to layer with it!
Ensar Oud Sultan Leather Attar, USA only
SLA:
3gr: $310 Paypal shipped via UPS with tracking.
Have 3 available. Not interested in any trade, price is firmed. Please PM me if interested.
...
Just buy a few of those traditional 3ml empty attar bottle and transfer to it, they are like $6 for two, with free shipping from ebay:
...
The Ghaliyah supposed to have Civet, Castoreum, Hyrax and Musk in it, how animalic is it on you? I'm really looking forward to a zoo-like wild beast....lol I want more skank!
Looks like they are being shipped out via UPS ground with Signature Required, make sure you're home to sign for your shizzo! lol
Mardi Gras took me a few wearing to get used to and I'm starting to really like this one, still not getting any neroli or orange blossom, I can see a hint of honey and menthol, along with vanilla and...
Could just be a one-off, not sure what the deal was with your request but many of us didn't have the same type of experience and issue you described, maybe use a different email address and try...
Sure wish other houses could match EO production output or at least close to it....lol
So, with all these new releases from ALD, Dixit&Zak, and Agar Aura....looks like Ensar Oud fell off of the cliff and only hear crickets here. So how's the new EO1 Manipur EDP? why haven't this stuff...
Don't tempt me bro, someone already mentioned putting Oud Oil in their tea and drink that stuff.....lol
the panic was uncalled for really, unless RA was using some radioactive nuclear waste product on his frags otherwise there's nothing to worry about, it's like eating puffer fish sushi, being daring...
Based on my previous shipments from him, the package arrived at my doorstep in 3~4 days, even though my current package status also said next Friday 9/18 but I believe it would show up on 9/11 or...
To be fair, Sikander has been very responsive on all communications conducted directly with him, bought attars from him before and personally I've never had any issues with the shipment or anything...
I've tried the Salamanca sample the other day, applied on the back of my hand and it is very potent, i had to wash it off with dawn dish soap so i could try another sample, but this stuff is very...
Got the DHL tracking# for my Ghaliyah, can't wait to get my paws on this animal juice, hopefully by end of this week.
That's certainly a great news to me personally, been wondering if the durians would just drop off after 30min or so. Hope on my skins it would last for few hours at least. lol
I'd have a higher chance in getting hit by a bus, or lung cancer from air pollution and cigar smokes, than dying from wearing perfume, beside....most of us put our collection on rotation anyway,...
I would wear the Cuir de Russie on skins regardless of what RA said. LOL unless it's made out of some radioactive material otherwise I ain't going to worry about no birch tar, I'd be more concerned...
note i said "a lot of these overly hyped", i did NOT say "all of these". The same way people shilled the EO1 from Ensar Oud along with some of the offerings from Bortnikoff. And where did i say...
The Rhubarb and Tomato leaf are very prominent and photorealistic for sure. If you dig the overall composition of Chavalier Vert minus the Rhubarb, then check out Vele by Tiziana Terenzi, they smell...
How can his claim be validated and verifiable as far as ingredients go? did anybody even bother to challenge those claims of 100-year-old ingredients? Where is the proof other than he said so?
...
I don't think they are anti-business, just anti-scalpers, and being disgusted by how things are turning out on a lot of these overly hyped artisan perfumes with limited availability being sold in 2nd...
That is exactly what Ensar Oud is marketing his products on, that the materials are rare and hard to find, didn't he even went as far as telling people to buy Oud oils as an "investment"? dude cracks...
Have you sample Chevalier Vert? it's a very vegetal green scent.
Yes it's blackberry, a typo. Also reminded me of the Ribena blackcurrant juice we used to drink when we were kids, very delicious.
Been wearing the blackbird today, the blackberry is very fresh and juicy, smell exactly like when you take a bite and the dark color juice running down your fingers, very realistic fruit. The fir...
I don't see anybody mention this yet, but how's the longevity on this new collection? anybody gave them a full day wearing yet?
Look at the bright side, it's still far cheaper than what the scalpers and crooks going to ask for in a few months after they sold out. lol
Been eating different strains of Durians for over 40 years, when we were kids we even had a few Durian trees at my dad's farm. Very curious how it would smell like in the Santal Galore for sure.
Tested two different samples today.
Olymber Amber: a bit resinous, boozy and sweet, reminiscent of the Grand Soir by MFK on my skins, this type of scent usually gives me a headache if overspray....
yea i saw how deeply peter inhaled each and every single one of them. lol i don't think smelling the entire collection in one go, within 10~20min could accurately represent even the first...
Funny how for the longest time, most people in the frag community claimed the tiny sample that came with swipe stick do not represent how the perfume should smell, time and time again people...
i like keeping all my juice in similar size of 100~120ml. :-p personally i don't care what the bottle look like, i'm only interested in the juice. If they are good, then hell...they could just...
Too many scalpers out there trying to rip people off it's probably why he prohibited it? Didn't you sell the Emperor Hind for like $1K? he may have suspected you're going to do the same with these...
Thanks for getting straight to point and gave us your first impressions of the notes breakdown bro, instead of rambling on and on and on and on with bunch of nonsensical BS like some of the terribly...
Majority of my fragrances came in either 100ml or 120ml, sure wish they would offer the bigger bottle option. :-\ The notes breakdown sound like something right up my alley, Castoreum, Hyrax,...
Not sure, but i can definitely tell you Cubaknow from youtube would most likely declare CDR as worthy of a ballsprayer. That dude is one of the funniest perfume reviewers on youtube ever, anything...
Just try the Woodcut sample, only a few swipes on the back of my right hand, this type of scent is too dense and heavy for my nose, on my skin it's very sweet, strong dose of cedar, pine, and...
