Jumped on the train again. Hoping the Brothers have another blockbuster as the notes listed spoke to me. I hope it’s a big success. June can’t come soon enough.
Currently Wearing: Layali by Agar Aura
I think this will have a chypre twist to it (or at least I wish so)
ay i love al mendoos too, and osmanthus and oud is a combo I love that's rather underutilised. Have you tried oudh osmanthus by mona di orio? I think youd love it.placed my order instantly. I love oud and osmanthus, and one of my top 10 perfume of all time is Al-mendoos by AA, a masterpiece of osmanthus and oud.

I suspect they learn from Ensar...These last few bottles are lasting an awful long time, lol!
Also, funny when they say sold out, end the “pre-order,” and then come back with “regular ordering” for a few more days. : D
That was my understanding also after reading the description. I believe this one uses Chinese Osmanthus, and Miyako lists Japanese.Everything is different, even osmanthus, as per their words.
Mine is shipping. Can’t wait.My Osmanthe Oud Huanghou arrived today
I'll give it a try this evening
Sounds great. Thank you for your impressions.first of all, similarities with miyako is undeniable.
first impression: it open up with citrusy spicy opening that lasts for 1-2 minutes, orange is here as well, then osmanthus starts to play (osmanthus used here is a little bit darker then miyako but almost 70% similar), the heart is woody and the oud that have been used is simply gorgeous with zero funk (it is fruity floral).
drydown has a delicious gourmanish vibes with a milky sandalwood at the base.
it is feminine leaning perfume with floral fruity oud profile, blending is superb as usual from them, and it is hard to dissect the notes.
if they call it Miyako Oud it would be perfect.
overall, I'm happy with my purchase because I was thinking to grab a back up bottle of miyako, and miyako with an oudy spicy twist is fine as well (despite the price lol).
this is a first impression that might change with time, but if you are looking for an oud osmanthus perfume Al-Mendoos from AA is the one to grab.
waiting to read everyone thoughts on this release

Oud osmanthus is incredibly beautiful, I love that one.ay i love al mendoos too, and osmanthus and oud is a combo I love that's rather underutilised. Have you tried oudh osmanthus by mona di orio? I think youd love it.
Here's hoping this new auphorie isn't another miyako rendition
