As our Lavender database section states: "Depending on the sort, lavender essential oil can have very sweet or distinctively sharp aroma. French lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), for example, has a sweet floral aroma while Dutch lavender (Lavandula intermedia) contains higher levels of camphor and other terpenes, having very strong aromatic and sharp odor. Essential oil extracted from Lavandula intermedia is named Lavandin. This hybrid lavender has completely different chemical and therapeutic properties, even though it finds its use in the perfume industry for its refreshing notes." The former is by no means a put down. As Patricia de Nicolai wisely mentioned once, "I think that while working on original fragrances, it is interesting to give just a little hint of something that the consumer already knows."
Ahmed Al Maghribi Perfumes first started as a hobby of its founder - Mr.Kafeel Ahmed. His passion for perfume making was so intense that it has evolved into being one of the most loved perfume brands in the region. During this 20 years plus journey, a lot of new fragrances have come into existence. However, the ones that they initially started with, are even today of key essence. Here's a selection of the very best oud fragrances for men available right now. And if you want to broaden your scented horizons? Take a look at our guide to the best men's fragrances.If you’re after a scent that’s entirely unique and original, turn your attention to Music For A While from Frederic Malle. Unlike any other fragrance we’ve tested, this perfume will have you perplexed (in a good way, hopefully). Opening with a hefty hit of lavender and anise – it smells extremely overpowering at first and a little like soapy licorice. To be completely honest, we weren’t hooked at first sniff – but stay with it as this is a complex fragrance that really evolves on the skin. The base notes of Patchouli and Musk provide a solid foundation for the fragrance, enhancing its longevity and adding a touch of sensuality. The earthy, woody nuances of Patchouli complement the oud beautifully, while Musk adds a subtle, inviting sweetness.
Burberry Brit Rythm for women (2014) complements them with its claim to English lavender growing in Kent (a truly British referent), but smothered under the neroli, the Givaudan molecule Petalia, reminiscent of peony, and musk notes. It smells of those abstract sweet and sour scents of woody floral musks that Narciso has progenited for over a decade. Where is that lavender? Further examining the contemporary take on lavender aimed mainly at women, such as Chanel's Jersey from their Les Exclusifs range, one can see how decades of musk use in fragrance has spoiled us into mistaking the scent of "clean" for something else entirely. They smell clean and comfy, but not because of the lavender per se, it's because of the musks and the sweeter elements!
Oud Lavender Ahmed Al Maghribi
Agarwood (also known as oud) is precious, intense, mystical and very inspiring,' says Guerlain's perfumer Delphine Jelk. The brand's well-versed education team (if you get the chance, the in-store fragrance consultation is a worthwhile experience) also adds that oud 'is a rich, complex scent. It's a resin that only exists when an Aquillarius tree is infested with fungus. Oud can be described as smoky, almost tobacco-like with a vanilla note. It has an amazing balance between a leathery and a woody scent with a honey note.' In the same study, foody smells were found to reduce level of attention, so maybe it's a focused drowsiness? I'm only joking. Let yourself be charmed by the sparkling aromas of Ahmed Al Maghribi Oud Lavender. A special fragrance that will make you appreciate the following essences: Oud, oriental, floral, mukhallat. The house Ahmed Al Maghribi has accomplished the feat of making a quality aroma that is a concentrate of Oud, Lavender. Spiced, some say reminds them of a spicy candyfloss. A slightly different fragrance from the rest, enhanced by the presence of patchouli and musk. Superbly interwoven, surprisingly natural, the oud has managed to create a fresh register lavender and spicy nutmeg and saffron aroma.
