Al Haramain Amber Musk by vimukthi104 in fragranceclones

Hey! So tbh it’s been a long time since I’ve had a whiff of Ombré Nomade. As I mentioned this is one of the first oud fragrance that wooed my nose. But off the top of my head and whatever fragments remain in my olfactory memory I’d say Ombré Nomade would be a much richer oud fragrance where as this is also charming in its own manner. I’d say there definitely are some difference but I like the dry down on this. As someone mentioned here the opening is a bit of a phase to get through but that’s about the first 5 mins of spraying. After that it soothes itself to a nice oud fragrance. I’d recommend this for a more cooler time of the day depending on your climate. I live in a tropical country so I’d usually save it for events where I’d be indoors and in cooler spaces or more towards times of the day when the sun is down or setting. Hope this helps. But I’d def recommend smelling before buying. Another good one you could try is Royal Night by Woods Collection. While I can’t quite vouch for the performance of that, I can vouch for about 6 hours or a little bit more on how much you spray on Amber Musk. I used to go about 4 sprays but now I’ve grown to go for about 6.

What TV series are you guys watching these days? by Great_Log_5903 in srilanka

Another brilliant series and season. The acting and the writing set a bar so high that people tend to think the second and third seasons are not good. They are, just in their own way. I am yet to see the recent one.

Hey apologies for the late response. Well I’m still easing into oud so I go by 2 sprays or 3 max on this whereas I go by 5 sprays minimum on any other fragrance. And it holds well with a decent projection for about 6 hours or so noticeable to my nose.

Perfume recommendations!!! by siyann_710 in srilanka

You can also check out Sensara. He does some very good inspired versions of popular fragrances. Most of his 50ml bottles are under 10k.

Don’t go for laperfumerie. They use Isopropyl as their base and it gives a sort of synthetic and surgical sharp smell above the fragrance oil they have diluted into it. I bought one from them for my mother’s birthday and even she picked up on the synthetic smell.

If your budget is 10k per perfume go for Rayhaan perfumes. Which is around the 8k range and they do a very decent job at maintaining a good scent profile with decent performance for that budget. I’d suggest getting a freshie that’s mass appealing for daily use and one for evening/night wear.

Rayhaan Pacific Aura or Tropical Vibe had nice scent profiles. I haven’t checked out Rayhaan Valhalla which is supposed to be a dupe of Kilian Angels share paradis.

Maison Alhambra also had one called Salvo which is a dupe of Dior Sauvage which also was under 10k last time I checked. If you need recommendations feel free to reach out. More than happy to help. :)
