Al Hajes by Nabeel

Oh my goodness! I don’t even know where to start with this exuberant elixir. It’s a warm, spicy, resinous, intoxicating, exotic, woody and smoky scent, incredibly beautiful. A hypnotic unisex oriental, spicy and resinous. From the very first whiff, it has me captivated. It’s bold, monolithic, a real punch to the senses, with a slow, unhurried evolution, yet of unparalleled beauty. It seems so confident in its charms that it doesn’t mind revealing itself slowly, knowing you’ll be utterly defeated and unable to take your nose away from its skin-deep trail. It’s a compact blend of resins (myrrh, labdanum and amber) with woods (cedar, sandalwood and oud) and incense, not listed on Flagrantica but mentioned on their website, featuring countless spicy, balsamic and green nuances, plus a very airy leather note, like skin drying in the breeze, only noticeable if you feel the wind stealing its essence. Dense, resinous, sweet, smoky and highly balsamic, sometimes reminding me of a very airy liturgical incense. It’s a masterful fragrance that brings a smile to my face and makes me happy. Did I say I love it? 😉 The bottle is a true gem; it’s worth buying just for that, though at this price, it’s hard not to. The quality/price ratio is unbeatable. An indispensable unisex for resin lovers. The performance of this beast is colossal, lasting over 12 hours on skin without blinking, with excellent projection; the first 3 or 4 hours are heavy, then it gradually settles to a moderate level. If I mention it cost me 10 pounds, what do you think of the performance now? Its appropriate use is at night in cool and temperate climates, though it doesn’t clash at all on a fresh morning; avoid the heat, as this would be lethal in summer. As expected, for me it’s an absolute must-have. Highly recommended for those who enjoy bold orientals, resinous, sweet and natural scents with an incense vibe. For them, 100% recommended.
