What wearers say

“Just got a bottle of this after debating purchasing it based off a sample I had, which I think must have came from a 2016 batch. My bottle is from the 2020 re-releases and it does not smell anywhere near as complex as the 2016 batch. I'm not sure if I'm tripping or not.The main difference is the 2016 batch has that distinct rubber band/spicy opening but that lasts for way longer than the 2020 batch. Disappointed as the 2020 batch opening is much shorter and just dries down to a very regular golden amber/vanilla/leather smell which is admittedly really nice but it a bit boring.”

A member of a leading fragrance community
“This is a great fragrance from Issey Miyake and quite different to most of their other releases.Soft, sweet Amber from the start with a light smokey and spicey background makes for a lovely warm smell that is great for the winter months and it lasts pretty well too.I find Lattafa's Ameer Al Oudh Intense quite similar to this but a lot cheaper.”

Sillage

The clone's tobacco note substitution gives it a warmer, more aromatic heart compared to the original's leather-forward composition. Longevity and sillage are comparable, but the overall scent trajectory feels slightly less sophisticated and refined.

Sillage

Majdal Sultan pushes the amber forward more aggressively, resulting in a sweeter, less nuanced middle phase compared to the original's sophisticated iris-cedar interplay. The clone also lacks some of the original's subtle oud refinement and ambroxan depth, making it feel slightly one-dimensional in the heart.

Sillage

The clone delivers comparable longevity but with reduced sillage projection compared to the designer version. The leather and oud notes are more subdued in the clone, resulting in a smoother, less aggressive dry-down that some may prefer but purists may find less characteristic of the original's distinctive smoky-woody profile.
