This one is an alternative to Straight to Heaven’s by Kilian, but can’t tell how close it is. El Dorado Kingdom opens with a delightful fresh, spicy and fruits sweetness aroma, (with some nuances of a minty freshness and iris, to my nose.) At the dry down come across more musky/ambery and woody, but well balanced with the sweetness and spiciness. The scent has presence but isn’t loud, remaining subtle and intimate, but very sophisticated, refined and alluring.

Fresh, citrus (mandarin, bergamot), spicy, bit sweet, bit mineralic opening Oud is the star of the show Entry-level Oud that is not skanky nor animalic but it is very prominent The Oud here is clean, tamed, smoky, airy and incensy Citrus-Balsamic-Oudy blend.. Very masculine, mature, and serious type of scent Great projection and sillage May be worn in the office and great for evenings and nights out Best for Fall and Winter Powdery, creamy, oudy (agarwood), earthy (patchouli), bit ambery, bit musky, balsamic on dry down Solid, clear glass cube bottle with sharp edges, cube-shaped black cap, great atomizer Great longevity Prominent for 2-3 hours and stays as a skin scent for 4-5 more hours Great overall performance I would recommend M7 Oud Absolu ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an addictive Oudy fragrance but it is not for everyone.. The Oud eventually grows on you with each wear.. Smooth-Mysterious-Sophisticated..

These ones are showing up in Marshalls: - Sahari Supreme: Ambre Oud - $16.99 - Al Fares: Jalaal - $16.99 There are no much reviews of them around yet, but the scent profiles for this ones are clearly inspired by niche fragrances. They have very particular, complex, and quite stunning aromas, and I love the bottles. Reviews coming soon.

An alternative to Initio Atomic Rose. Amethyst has a beautiful, intoxicating, alluring and addictive aroma. It’s one of the smoothest rose fragrances I have. The citrus, floral, spicy sweetness, oudy, ambery blend it’s just magical. I believe this is the second time I wear it since I bought it and got me compliments today at church. Love it!

Picked this up last weekend, I got an older version of the edt last year. I've heard there is a reformulated version out now, but Have not had my nose on it yet. The parfum was released at the very end of 2025 by Jean-Christophe Hérault and was said to have fixed the performance issues that everyone had with the edp. It's certainly more concentrated, a denser, longer lasting formula, but maybe at a cost. You will still recognize that amazing DNA from the edp, but this is it's grown up brother so too speak. As it opens up, you still get a burst of citrus, but instead of the juicy grapefruit from the EDP, the Parfum uses Tarocco Orange and Black Pepper. It feels darker and slightly more Wintery from the start. A heavy dose of Labdanum and Clary Sage in the heart creates a thick, balsamic middle. It feels more mature and less playful than previous versions. Like most of these amazing cold weather fragrances, it's the base where the Parfum shines. The signature Tobacco note is intensified and paired with a rich Amber accord and Cedarwood. It smells more like a luxury cigar lounge, warm, smoky, and slightly sweet. Whilst the edp only lasted on my skin for 4 hours, there it an improment here at between 6-7hrs. It's projection is moderate, It doesn't scream, but it creates a dense "bubble" around you for the first 3 hours. But it does leave a noticeable trail behind you as you walk around in the cold. This is a solid fragrance for Winter nights, black-tie events, and date nights where you need your scent to last. The grown up version of the classic. ABest for: Winter nights, black-tie events, and date nights where you need your scent to last until morning. A must-buy if you loved the original but hated the performance; a "try before you buy" if you specifically loved the original My Rating 8/10 Scent 2.5 Longevity 2.5 Sillage 2 Y/N 1
