ASAQ released a King Abdullah blend which consists of their legendary Kalakhassi No.1, Ambergris, Musk and Supreme Grade Taif Rose. It was last selling for SAR4500 ($1200) in 2011, but has now sold out.

Oud, rose, patchouli and musk is what I can pick up. Very simple yet elegant but its most distinctive character is the incedible balance and tranquile smoothness of the composition. I can't think of any other oud/rose/musk combo that didn't leave me wanting to dial some of it individual components either up or down, all are in perfect equilibrium.

The notes don't "pop" over others, they all play the same tune in a harmonious unison. The blend is extremely smooth and because (I think) it doesn't feature too many ingredients cluttering the olfactory space, the individuals components are relatively easy to pick up. To my nose, rose, musk and oud are equally present right from the start, but towards the drydown as the rose burns off, the musk and then the oud slowly reveal themselves, with the soft patchouli acting as a perfect bridge between the two. I am sure there are other things in there and probably synthetics too, but the blend is so masterfully executed I can't ID any, which of course could just be my relative inexperience and undeveloped perception. The oil is not super-dark and not overly thick, it flows quite easily.

I wish you success! As for the price, Arabian Oud often has a 50% off sale on their products and King Fahed can then be purchased for half of the official price.

They are legit but hear hit and miss stories of them eiether being great to not sending the rite fragrance or shorted in measurements of oils. I probably won't risk them. That's just me though. I want a .5ml or 1ml vial of each Prince Damiani blends and a King Fahad Blend. But nothing so far. Can't find anyone with eiether willing to sell me a .5ml-1ml vial of each :-/
