Anyone own fragrant harbour supreme? What is the scent profile? Overall thoughts?
Minutely sensed nuances of the oil, and nicely expressedThis is my first Oud review...my nose is not expertly trained, so please be kind
Interesting, quite interesting! Water also brings certain twist to oil.I exposed my wrist to some heat and my skin pushed forward this incredibly calming, cooling, sweet menthol accord.
Top class observations. You picked up a very specific strand of sweetness and menthol. You ll also be able to sniff this acrosa many oils from other vendors brother will. This is not a newbie nose FHS is a very nice oil.@Youssef, I too wore fragrant harbour supreme today...nice dusty dank forest floor smell from the start that morphs into a bright orange rind and then dries down to a sweet menthol...very nice. I noticed remarkable similarity with FHS and tinsukia on the drydown, but maybe it's just my newbie nose hah
Excellent review brother. Very fine breakdown.Decided to go with IO Fragrant Harbour Supreme today. My word, is this such an amazing oil! I didn't open the cap all the way and dabbed a little bit of oil that was on the rim of the bottle. At first, I didn’t understand this oil. I thought it was a bit too vegetal and zesty. However, to be honest I don’t think I gave this oil enough of my patience. Now, this is an oil that I wake up wanting to smell, and every time I pop the cap open it’s soothing aroma wafts around me. It first start’s out vegetal, zesty and bitter, with an aged raw puer note. Give it about a minute and it turns into this beautifully vibrant, bitter sweet oil, but with plenty of complexity, and still hasn’t lost it’s beautiful puer note. I am getting notes of stone fruits, and woodiness, covered in this amazingly smooth cloth. Though it might be vibrant it is very balanced and very smooth.
I might have said that the synthetic oil above was enjoyable, but I can't even bear that one any longer. Though yes the synthetic changes from it's first note to a sweet one then a smokey note, it is no where near as enjoyable. It's smokey note smells like I just smeared a cigarette on my wrist, and it's sweet note isn't very complex. It doesn't have that smooth note that ouds that I have tried have. Now I understand why that oil was considered low quality.
Excellent review brother. Very fine breakdown.
Yes indeed, FHS is very similar to Tinsukia in the dry down, however, I might argue it's a bit heavier than Tinsukia.@Youssef, I too wore fragrant harbour supreme today...nice dusty dank forest floor smell from the start that morphs into a bright orange rind and then dries down to a sweet menthol...very nice.
