i've been heavy duty into incense for some years now, expanding my explored territories throughtout the world, and currently have a favorite company based in India, but that is not the point of this reveiw. i finally found my niche in the world of perfumes and colognes, taking a liking to scents like By The Fireplace by Replica, enjoying scents worn by others like Black Opium. I am really into woody scents, smoky scents, warm and musky incense based scents, spicy scnets, etc. i recently discovered Khalis because i found a really good scent by Lattafa called "Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud" and spiraled out from there. fast forward to recently when me and my girlfriend recieved a sampler pack of 19 unisex fragrances we found while browsing, and this Black Ousd was among those samples and we instantly fell in love. everybody that has smelled it has been blown away by its charming, mysterious, smoky and decadent essence. i have smelled a mind blowing amount of incense and perfumes to this day, and this is one of my top 5 all time favorite scents, might even be number 1 or 2. i am obsessed with it. its all i want to smell! i am officially full blown infatuated with diving into the unknown territory of online scent shopping, and will be mastering the ability to analyze descriptions to pinpoint which scents i would most likely be into, or at least, be able to forward to someone that would alternatively be into it. i want ALL of the sampler packs now! they are such a great way to browse scents for super cheap, cuz with online scent shopping, thats the biggest obstacle is not being able to smell it before you buy it. i just cannot believe i got a quality scent equal to and better than $300 bottles ive seen all over the place, for under $30! it blows my mind and i look forward to smelling many more :)
