  • Far more potent than standard Western ouds
  • Quality ingredients used
  • Long-lasting and potent

What wearers say

“I like The Night by FM but it simply doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Its that rose-oud we all like and enjoy. The materials are great but I think the price is just unjustified.If you have expensive materials and you made a great fragrance thats smells like nothing new than whats the point?? A master perfumer should make cheap materials smell expensive.The fragrance is very linear and the price is just a joke. I had an opportunity to buy it for 1/3 of the price almost 3 years ago and I am happy that I didn’t. I would much rather buy an Areej Le dore fragrance for that price.”

“It's challenging on opening notes indeed (I get parmesan and maybe a touch of dog turd!) but it melts on the skin within about 15 minutes to reveal a lovely soft, mildly animalic balance with delicious Turkish rose.It really does meld beautifully on skin, very complex but relaxed and intriguing.Lovely, but I wouldn't personally spend this much. Clearly the price reflects the fact it contains 20% authentic oud.Sillage moderate, longevity excellent.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Tbh, it's rlly good oud & rose frag that it's rlly hard to find in western house.Rlly fancy and gorgeous oud is blending well with beautiful rose together.But, the retailer price is such a scam.For reasonable price for this one should be 600$ will be acceptable to me.At least, it's worth to try frag if u r into oud and rose dna.”

Longevity

Moderate to Strong

Sillage

The clone's heart notes are less pronounced and lack the refined Turkish rose distinction of the original, while the base performs adequately but with slightly less depth and longevity. The top notes are somewhat different in character, leaning slightly more herbal in the clone versus the original's spicier opening.

Sillage

The clone delivers comparable longevity and sillage but offers a slightly softer rose accord compared to the original's more assertive floral presence. The oud implementation is fairly close, though the original presents a more refined, less animalic interpretation of the agarwood note.
