Wow, i know that some people are orderly, but just have meal shakes is another level 😯
The launch was at the height of all the hype surrounding ALD. I’d imagine he created the brand to see if the fragrances could match the same reception but sadly they didn’t. In my opinion a lot of ALD’s could be released through Anonim and they wouldnt garner the same attention. I had a similar thought as yours though. It’s been 3 years now and no new releases and let’s not forget Adam is usually quick to address any issue of hearsay yet he hasn’t even mentioned Anonim in the slightest. No confirmation or denial.
Regarding your first paragraph; write me a DM, I can hook you up with samples
Thank you man! I´ll reach out soon.Chinese Oud ruined me so much, that i just bought Aquilaria Blossom (for a really really fair price though). It still cant match with Chinese Oud tho. Btw: Anyone interested in buying Zam Zam und Civet Bomb -> Slide into my DM´s.Regarding your first paragraph; write me a DM, I can hook you up with samples

Vetiver Cigar by SJA
Vetiver Cigar is a perfume by SJA for women and men and was released in 2021. It is still available to purchase.
I think AdN gets a pretty solid all around good review narrative, but I think it should be right up there with some of the most hyped ALD’s, and it just may as time goes on!
AdN is another I feel really fortunate to have. Really one of my favorite ALDs, and the first composition of Adam's I purchased.
agreed but the cigar, oud and musk is there with a great supporting roll from the other notes and i think he said he was looking for cigar and oud and although that is not primarily all it is it's still a great one if you are looking for the cigar note . It is awesome though as are some of the other SJA , especially Jaber
Oh yeah, sign me up for Oud Picante! When I started with ALD with the second collection, I had to make a decision after buying Atlantic Ambergris, and not liking Inverno Russo (at that time, now I'm craving it badly): either a bottle of Flux or Picante and I went with Flux. I'm not regretting it, I love Flux de Fleur. But as an Oud and spice lover, OP is haunting me ever since. Dusty Chinese medicine shop and wood paneled old peoples' home. 😍
I was reading at some point how "challenging" OP was and once i tried it - i couldnt find anything challenging.
Yes on Inverno Russo...Having tried almost everything since 2nd release I would say Russian Oud, Oud Picante and Inverno Russo are the ones I most desire to see remakes of.My bottles of these are getting low and I hate to think of the day they run out
oh no , wow where was that ?
Someone got really lucky on this one
so rare to see the OG OE come up for sale
True...anyone seen the OG Siberian Musk?
Someone on Parfumo sold it. Was like seeing a effin unicorn. But ey...the legend lives on.
That would be such a shame. Hopefully we´ll se a sharing because I´d really love to try it.
Have never ever seen it. Would also love to try it.
I totally feel where you’re coming from. Really like the musk on its own or in combo with a simple Oud/rose. Royal Amber really is much better in combination.Royal amber and Royal musk are great and pedestrian depending from which point you look at them.
Amber - as material in sandalwood is great, smoothes out the sharp edges. Not a very stand out scent on its own(not a smell of the sea) as white amber was used from what i recall.
As a scent - all you are going to get is great, silky smooth sandalwood without any particular note popping out. Its a sandalwood orchestra. Pretty good projection and longevity for a uni note scent.
Musk - as a material, musk is much more obvious as it probably should be. It indeed has a nice chocolate/caramel aroma without any animalic kick(to my nose) and even a touch boozy, but boozy only if you really looking for it. Musk also lends sandalwood an aged patina and oil is much more pleasant after musk treatment
As a composition, Royal musk is better than Royal Amber but still quite pedestrian. Light chocolate(not intense dark, but like a watered down chocolate drink) caramel note over quality sandalwood. As a scent it wont impress anyone around, unless they actually know what real musk and sandalwood are, and are head over heels musk fanatics.
Good opportunity for those who want to study materials though, reliable source and for a 1ml spli, its quite reasonable.
Let me know what are your thoughts on these 2 after more time spent with them
What do you mean by 'in combination'?
Yes, sorry! But only with something simple. Like a drop of really good quality Oud. Or a bit of Taif.
Yes, agree.
I had a really rough time with it tbh.
Ahh that's unfortunate. I got plenty of cigar notes along with the smoke, spice, rose and Oudh. Its a challenging scent to wear being so obnoxiously Middle Eastern `(which I love btw), but unfortunately also means its restricted to nights of pleasure and walks in the park.
Inverno Russo is really good.Having tried almost everything since 2nd release I would say Russian Oud, Oud Picante and Inverno Russo are the ones I most desire to see remakes of.My bottles of these are getting low and I hate to think of the day they run out
Seconded. Would love to see an Inverno Russo remake, Flux de Fleur too
I’m pretty sure Russian Oud is coming down the pipeline. He’s been saying that for a while now though. I’d imagine he’ll do one or two classics before the next collection and maybe a collab.
Making people jealous 😄🙌🏽I finally got a bottle of Walimah extrait! WHOOOOOO!!!! So happy to have this beauty in my collection.
I've had Walimah attar for several years but have been unsuccessful until now in getting my hands on a bottle. I almost had one about a year and a half ago, but the deal fell through and I was sad for a whole month.
Now it's in my hands and I am so happy to have it. What an amazing fragrance Walimah is. So rich and filled with florals (love the way champaca is combined with the other notes of this fragrance), resinous notes, oud...just stunning. I noticed while wearing the extract that I'm picking up an almost incense note in the dry down even though it's not listed in the notes for Walimah. I'm in love with this stuff and want to say thank you to the awesome Basenoter I was able to transact with for Walimah! Most excellent!!!👍
