Probably one my favorites in my collection! I absolutely love the Nigella, Apple, and Ouds that are in this. Wish I could get a second bottle one day.

As an avid oud lover, I dare say it is to me what gold is. Beautiful, deep, complex; it can be both subtle, yet to some overbearing at times. In all sincerely it is not something one would be able to wear on a daily.

Yet, Mahir found a way to make a blend that transcends that one very hard point of oud. Found a way to make it one that is seamless, mesmerizing, and gentle.

The opening notes speak freshness with the tartness and sweetness of the green apple, the ylang ylang, blue hemlock and ofcourse the glorious presence of the oud. As it dries down it turns darker and greener as the oakmoss' presence makes its way through. And the Nigella is there to soften it all.

Crisp, mysterious, foreboding, and most importantly elegant and beautiful.

Simply said, Brother Mahir has a certain finesse that I probably will never find elsewhere.

Beautiful rose incense

What can i say that wasn’t already said?
If you’re a fan of Kodo sessions then this is for you.
Incense, rose and a beautiful base as always. To my nose the opening is almost like smelling incense while being surrounded by roses, the white rose otto is so beautiful and crisp, the superior quality of the otto used is very clear. As for the base it’s just magnificent the Taifi is there and the papaun oud also, i can pick them up individually and also as a single note at the same time! I guess thats the magic of the two souls melange that was used here.

The perfect melange

Two Souls.
Having tried many of the “Sultani” variants involving oud and rose, This one is different to my nose. The Taifi in this one is the most beautiful roses i’ve ever smelled, the quality reminds me of a Vintage Syrian rose i had in my collection that i can’t find anything like anymore, it’s undeniably Taifi but it also has this rose liqueur vibe to it. The oud on the other hand is Papuan for sure but not any Papuan either! It’s one of the most Elegant ouds out there. It reminds me of the most famous ones that has come out of the Vault if you get what i mean 😉. As Brother Maher already explained on the website the ratio is definitely different to the other variants and it’s clear when you swipe this one.

For the playful Cambodi lover

Crimson Cambodi is magical for someone like me. The scent is super fruity at the beginning the red berries are very apparent, slowly as the scent transitions you’re met with an earthy patchouli that is to die for! The scent finally settles to a beautiful oudy base but the surprise is that those red fruity accords turn into beautiful florals that accompany the oud in the base in the most beautiful way possible!

In the world of sweet dipped syn moattars a man chose osmanthus that sinks into Civet & Musk.
Coincidence or Vision?
Smells good enough to wear neat. Dark, Dominant & Regal! This is what they burn in a Kings’ palace before war.
At this price, I’m glad it didn’t actually pass through the palaces of Oman.

For the fruit lovers

My bottle of Crimson Cambodi has no extra oud. This is an interesting blend. It opens with the red fruit notes intertwined with mildly smoky, more incense-y oud. I'm used to stronger fruit notes in Thai oud, so this phase is interesting, as I've not often seen a mix of a strong fruit profile with more "serious" oudy depth. As things develop, the red fruits become more prominent and the oud steps back. The cherry and strawberry notes ring clear as bells. Not sweet or cloying, but intense and rather pure. The patchouli pokes its head out, grounding and providing some contrast as the oud quiets. This phase eventually wanes, and the ouds step forward as the fruit recedes. At that point, you're left with a red-accented Cambodi profile. Not too smoky, not animalic. But deep and interesting. I expect many will enjoy this blend, and if you enjoy blends that are fruit driven, but not sweet or cloying, then I especially recommend it to you.
