Oud Ertugrul

First thoughts: Succulent. Royal succulence. Delectable violet noir. Oud… Ertugrul.

Thick, lush berry pulp rolled into a cigar. Violet iris brewed with orange blossom and a dash of thyme and… imagine purple sumac syrup stirred into a creamy potion of mimosa steeped in sandalwood.

This is a delectable creamy berried oud brew that smells every bit as regal as Oud Sultani. The scent screams royal, with its succulent opening wafts that remind you of the same liqueur-like blue-purple sultry sparkle you smell in an aged jasmine-infused ghalia or the exquisite royal piquant flavor vintage Myitkyina oud : Taifi rose mélanges (eg. Mélange Royale) makes you drool over – except, in here there’s a lot more going on…

“Mmmmmm… a fat swipe smelling like a sweet thick vanilla Borneo flower garden with Kyara heaters gently heating some Kinam!!!”

Capturing the Oud Ertugrul profile in spray form means honing in on orris root drunk on vanilla, that icing of blueberry cheesecake infused with mimosa and cypress. And, of course that kyara powdery tone; that raspberry cinnamon cloaked in the soft sweet smokiness of heated beccariana.
