Hareem Sultan Silver Concentrated Oil Perfume 35ml
Set beside the Gold, Khadlaj Perfumes Hareem Sultan Silver Concentrated Oil Perfume 35ml goes in the opposite direction, with no fruit in it at all and a good deal more darkness. Rose and white musk open together, which is an unusual pairing to lead with. The rose is cool and clean rather than jammy, and the white musk softens it immediately, giving the first few minutes a laundered, slightly soapy quality. Ylang ylang and rosemary follow and pull against one another: ylang ylang is the creamy, almost banana sweet tropical flower, rosemary is dry, green and nearly medicinal, and the tension between the two keeps this from being a simple rose oil.
The base is where an Arabian house usually shows its hand, and it does here. Oud brings that dense, resinous, faintly farmyard depth nothing else imitates well, and amber wraps it in warm sweet resin. In an alcohol free oil both materials sit heavily and stay close to the skin, and they last an extremely long time. Because this is a concentrated oil, dosage is everything. Apply a small amount at the wrists or the neck and let body heat open it up. It will not fill a room, but it will still be there after a long day and often after a night's sleep. Cooler weather and evenings suit it, it reads unisex in practice despite the rose, and anyone curious about oud will find this a gentler introduction than a straight oud oil.
Khadlaj Perfumes is an Emirati manufacturer, trading since 1997 and producing perfumes in the Arabian tradition along with attars, bakhoor and body mists. Its Oud Pure and Musk Pure collections and the Hareem Al Sultan range are the lines the company highlights itself, with Azure Velvet and Saqr Al Badiya among the newer arrivals. It says it runs about twenty showrooms in the UAE and Oman.
