Comment: Concentrated Perfume Oil review
Mukhallat Dahn Al Oudh Moattaq is an exuberant oud-based mukhallat, which will greatly appeal to those who enjoy Middle Eastern oud blends, both novices and connoisseurs alike.

Although it's a traditional rose-oud creation, it's not as predictable in its overall demeanour as the vast majority of bland and unimaginative Western rose-oud equivalents. Instead, it possesses a silky smooth transition from beginning to end, with a complementary animalic vibe.

The Turkish rose is deep, vibrant and breathtakingly beautiful, tenderly imparting a citric nuance. Accompanied by an array of aromatic Indian herbs, the top notes gradually immerse themselves into a powdery resinous sea of woods and amber. The aged oud is seamlessly integrated and sweet, while in the midst is a sharp and hefty serving of civet.

The powdery sweet musk drydown is soft, creamy and sensual, with enough evidence to suggest that the rose and most of the other notes have yet to completely evaporate. Overall, it's a wonderfully harmonious and dense mukhallat, which presents itself as one of the superior high-quality oud blends currently available.

With moderate projection and very good longevity, it's another Ajmal release that's a certified winner.
