Good morning Fragrance Family. Starting this week off with a positive mindset and a prayerful spirit, remembering that the race is not given to the strongest but to those who endure. No matter what lies ahead of us this week, consistency, faith, and perseverance will carry us through. My scent of the day is Amber Kroud by Designer Shaik Arabia, a new house to me that I recently discovered at the House of Dubai. This fragrance is truly a symphony of exotic woods and rich aromas. It opens with fruity notes of black currant and mango blended with invigorating spices that immediately grab your attention. The heart reveals a beautiful fruity rose and jasmine combination, while the base settles into something deeply sensual with oud oil, vetiver, tonka bean, leather, amber, musk, frankincense, benzoin, and vanilla. At the center of it all is that exotic amber stone accord radiating a mysterious warmth that ties everything together. This is my first wear and full impression of the fragrance. It blew me away on skin in the store and I knew I had to have it. The presentation is outstanding, and I may share the pictures I took later. Projection is excellent, reaching about five feet without being overpowering. The sillage is very good as well, you will definitely be noticed. One hour in, this is sitting at an 8.5 for me. Have a blessed day, stay encouraged, and smell great doing it.

I forgot how much I love this fragrance. It’s one of those that every time that slaps me with its aroma, put a big smile on my face. It has everything I love from my favorite scent profiles and the performance I spect from a fragrance. It’s very masculine, spicy, citrusy, herbal, resinous, boozy, a bit smoky, leathery and woody. It just has a wonderful combination of notes that makes it so irresistible (to my taste). I can’t help it! 🫳🏼🎤🫠😍🥰
