  This roll-on sample of OUD AL AMIR by AL FARANSI, brought from the Palace of the Thousand and One Nights by Darkbeat, promises Cambodian Oud. As a notary, I confirm: it smells genuinely natural. Is it synthetic due to the price? Perhaps, but the laboratories emulate it so well that it’s impossible to tell the difference. This shatters the fallacy of Western houses using 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 fragrances costing 100-200 euros. My fear is that these brands will fall victim to the voracity and hucksterism of famous perfumes today. If you want to know what authentic oud truly smells like, buy this OUD AL AMIR on English websites. What do the English have that allows them access to these wonders while the rest of Europe is barred? Are we not sisters with the Arab world? Did Josean not grow up and live in the Cordoba of a thousand years ago, and now cannot buy directly from his uncle Syd Al Harik’s perfumery the scents his family has used since the Sumerians? OUD AL AMIR is not for everyone. You must know Arabic oud and be prepared to be told you smell ‘weird’. There are almost no notes to temper this animal 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 astonishes me. Just a few light brushstrokes of rose and sandalwood that do not diminish the potency, very similar to other Rasasi fragrances I have tried. These are perfumes that I myself would not wear every day due to the saturation and olfactory magnitude they concentrate.
