Im starting to enjoy these Concentrated Perfume Oils (CPO), whilst Red African is still a firm favourite, Pure Sandal is another rather enjoyable one. These oils work great on their own, and are perfect for Layering. Hamidi is a sub brand of Sterling Perfumes Industry. This one focuses on the creamy, linear, and therapeutic qualities of sandalwood. Unlike complex Western perfumes that use sandalwood as a background note, Pure Sandal is supposed to show the ingredient in its most pure and undistilled state. So you can't really break this down into layers of notes as it's based around Sandalwood. It does however follow a comparable transition on your skin. For me I could it started of as a warm Sandalwood. As it progresses it developed a ay sweetness before manifesting as something more smokey/woody/Amber? Since it is an alcohol-free oil, it has exceptional longevity. On the skin, I'm getting several hrs from the oil on its own. On clothing, the scent can linger for days. Just don't apply directly as oils can leave a nasty stain. Projection is moderate. It creates a personal scent bubble rather than filling a room. It is intimate and inviting rather than aggressive. These CPO's are the holy grail for layering. Apply a small amount to your pulse points before spraying a floral or oud-based Eau de Parfum to give it a creamy, woody foundation. My Rating: 7/10 Scent: 2 Longevity:2 Sillage:2 Y/N:1

With the weather fluctuating from 83 to 39 in the last couple of days, I decided to go with Fahrenheit today. It took awhile for me to really like this fragrance, but it’s now one of my favorites. Everyone enjoy the weekend
