Agaraura Mukhallats!

[masstika]

I have received a sample of Layal Ramadan Muhkalat from Taha along with my Amai Jinkoh order and I was about to write my first impression of it when I noticed that it has been sold out already! No wonder why! this was a beautiful Mukhalat of pronounced sweet Oud whiffs mixed with sweet saffron like clout. it would be the darker cousin of Al Arbyia which has brighter notes. This one is true "Layali", meaning nights and in that it is Noir. the spices are all there, the cinnamon, the cloves and the nutmeg accent. There is a pine or a juniper accent in there that lends it an almost Japanese/Orient overture but it's not completely clear to me. The Bakhoor like dry down is wood-y in green top riding on a brown bottom, if that makes any sense It has a gentlemanly bias that is very attractive. The notes have merged together and their distance have been folded like so that they became compressed with no Jarring notes elbowing in the composition. I have to congratulate Taha on his deft hands mixing those ingredients and I hope that there will be Layali Ramadan 2.0.

I couldn't agree more Masstika! Layali Ramadan is fantastic. I find it excellent for calm nights outside. Very soothing and mellow with a hint of a minty juniper smell over a woody patchuli base and I totally see your green over brown comparison.
I also really liked Khashab. Nothing but wood! Very deep. I thought of mutiple base singers all singing the same song. Blends well. Te only difference I saw betwen the two was the sense that Khashab would benifit from some more age more the Layali but both will be great in a year!!!!
