In middle eastern literature rose is strong symbol of sexualized masculinity. Rose for men and deep black eyes for women, (because a woman’s eyes are often the only thing a man can see when he meets a woman.) These two tropes come up over and over in Middle Eastern poetry.

Poetry is a HUGE thing in the Middle East.

Good to know! Still doesn’t add up for me but that’s because I’m not Middle Eastern!

TroyD247Mall The Arabs used to talk with each others in rhymes and poetry and I’m talking here about the normal ppl not the gifted/talented poets.

I love this one. All my other rose/oud frags took a step back to make room for this one! Just ordered Majestic Special Oud from Arabian Oud. Hoping I like it as much?!!!

The connection with Word then Words and Poets club is the Romanticism... The dramatic edges... The dreamy magical center that creat a memorable poem. I love this charm of a scent by Zerjoff. I started with the 50ml and I realized right away... I knew it was going to be a keeper... So I bought the 100ml even before I even completed my 50ml. 😎 *I’ve gotten many compliments on this 😊

It's an eerie kind of thrill to see how similar our tastes are-- you review so many fragrances that I own and really like. The thought of a fragrance immediately conjuring up images of Nuno Bettencourt's face, HAHAHA! Glad it was you and not me :D

I do enjoy your commentaries, reviews. I got a sample and enjoyed it, full bottle on the way.

This reminds me of Odyon Dubai Scorpion Intense in the dry down. MTW is more complex but they have a similar vibe.

This one is often compared to rose d'arabie but I don't get it they don't smell the same for me. I've never tried by kilian rose oud and would personally love to see a review on your channel. There is also an oriental line of jo malone that has been so slept on, the absolu line like jo malone violet & amber absolu for example

I don’t think it’s the same as Rose D Arabie at all. And eventually I’ll get around all the Kilians or watch out when the membership series is announced I’ll probably review it there.
