What a fantastic perfume for men! This is absolutely amazing from opening to close. The aroma is heavenly masculine to say the least. Tafaseel smells like a heavily incensed/spiced palo santo wood. It’s very warm, noir, balsamic and balmy with an intoxicating ambery, patchouli, smoky and very woody dry down that’s to die for. This is definitely a woody, smoky incense perfume throughout thanks to healthy dose of frankincense. I can’t really vouch for a lot of oud although it is there, just not strong but nevertheless cleverly blended to add depth and darkness. The only reference that I could think of for comparison purposes would be Clive Christian’s Chasing The Dragon Hypnotic. There’s a narcotic, intoxicating opium/black cherry/clove/cinnamon like chord that is the backbone to Tafaseel which is prevalent in Chasing The Dragon Hypnotic. As soon as I smelled this I was instantly reminded of Chasing The Dragon Hypnotic which is a criminally overpriced one off perfume. There’s nothing else out there like it until Tafaseel came along. I was elated because I’ve always fancied the Clive Christian. I truly believe that Nabeel has modeled Tafaseel after Chasing The Dragon Hypnotic because the similarities are uncanny, and what an amazing job they did, especially at this very affordable price point. The blending in this perfume is phenomenal. It’s quite complex and dynamic that is far more than the sum of its parts. It feels like there are way more notes than what has been provided. Tafaseel is a spiced, dense and heavy perfume that feels to be only appropriate for cold weather. The only downfall to Tafaseel is that this is not a versatile perfume. It’s dressy, classy. A tee shirt and jeans perfume this is not. Presentation is top and original with a weighty and thick bottle, and the atomizer gushes out an unnecessary amount of liquid per pump. Sillage isn’t particularly strong however this is due to Tafaseel’s high oil content at pure perfume levels with a non-denatured alcohol content of 61%. Your skin will be oily for a while after applying. Longevity is very strong at a minimum of 12+ hours. This perfume is still detectable on my skin after 24 hours. A completely original creation from Nabeel and as always, Tafaseel is just awesome because Nabeel really produces some outstanding perfumes.
