SOTD: Jawhara Oud Velvet

In exploring the affordable middle eastern fragrance market, I came across this very interesting find: Jawhara Oud Velvet.

Yes, with tax, it comes to only $15 (though I saved $2-$3 with a digital coupon). Rather than add the scent profile here, I've attached that in picture form.

Oddly, for such a low-priced fragrance, while it does have that "cough drop" smell on initial spray, once it settles, is quite nice. Like smoked rose and spicy incense.

The longevity is, quite frankly, amazing! I sprayed it on a new Merino wool V-neck shirt last night, as well as my wrists, and I STILL smell it 12+ hours later!

That being said, while I don't like it enough as a dominant or sole fragrance, I love it as a base when layering. This morning, I layered some Rayhaan Lion eau de parfum on my torso, then Cremo Spice and Black Vanilla on my neck.

The result is utterly amazing, and all the notes play well off each other (especially since all 3 have vanilla in some form).
