I hope you like wickedly strong offensive oud! Nabeel’s Al Bashiq is an utter nuclear bomb of oud, and wow is it unnecessarily potent with absolutely eternal longevity. I’m 100% confident that this perfume will fill very large rooms. And you can forget about that entire elaborate scent pyramid because this perfume showcases a most smelly oud note. I love me some oud however, this variety, I do not, nor will I ever. I’ve sampled a few Ajmal’s that use this caliber of oud and it is my least favorite verging directly on totally unwearable. It’s way too bizarre smelly to even be considered as public friendly, and just way too strong. Wearing this to work will either get you sent home immediately, or canned. It smells like the most pungent halitosis imaginable. I mean, we’re talking about the most atomic, offensive, stinky breath including an hellacious case of gingivitis for the books and a mouth full of rotten teeth that you could wrap that pretty little brain around, or more appropriately put… meth mouth! If you’ve smelled this before, then you know. It’s that kind of dragon breath that you can smell on someone from 3 feet away and oh does it linger like a dense fog. So what we have is an oud oil that is so strong even 1 spray of this will be repelling people for the entire day coupled with a very wet tobacco and leather, that’s it. Oud, tobacco and leather. To give your a general round about of what Al Bashiq smells like for comparison purposes it would be Tom Ford’s Tobacco Oud, but with a genuine oud oil splattered on top. That’s Al Bashiq. In fact, I’m leaning strongly towards that this is Nabeel’s attempt to copy the Tom Ford. The similarities are far too uncanny. For me though? Al Bashiq is on the furthest end of the spectrum of, do not like.
